He said I looked the Dutch Boy paint logo since I had the same haircut.<br /><br />Nowadays, of course, I favor the "Mr. Clean" look...Timmy!https://www.blogger.com/profile/09902641426229272672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876794033107456809.post-65562551432855830412011-03-25T10:45:12.447-08:002011-03-25T10:45:12.447-08:00Ahoy, Blue Lou!
