Please ask all your pallies to do the same. If I coulda leave a comment there you know that I woulda burn up the page with my Dino-passion. The very idear that our Dino coulda be voted annoyin' is such a travesty of the Dino-truth! Dino-defensively, DMP

Hey there, pallie!
I've just voted. Our Dino never was annoying. It bothers me just thinkin' about it!
Take care. Hope you have a good week ;-)
To be honest with you, i don't think Dean would ever think about something like that! He never cared about what people said about him!
Hey pallie, likes thanks so much Kinezoe....I'm with you dude...likes did you know that you can vote more then once...we gotta get our Dino outta of this annoyin' state of bein'....make this and every day a Dino-day!
Hey pallie, of course our Dino wouldn't care 'bout this I know that...but don't YOU care? I don't want our Dino to be shed is such a distasteful light...and I plan to stick up for him whether he needs me to (and he don't) or not....
Of course I voted not annoying. But when did this face lift happen, that is what I would like to know.
Hey pallie, thanks Miss Sannie for votin' your Dino-conscience....we have gotten our Dino's percentage down to 40.08 and if we likes keep on votin' we can get it down to almost nothin'...keep those Dino-votes comin'
btw pallie, don't have the answer to the facelift quire...woulda guess it was sometime in the late 60's or early 70's as our Dino gots more swingin' into his life....
Maybe there is a picture of him around then where we can actually see it! You keep digging. I am sure something will turn up. Why he had to do this (and that hair dye business) I will never know. Wasn't his life already swinging enough? Couldn't he just relax and enjoy? Chill? Let it be?
Hey pallie, likes we both know that our Dino was truly unknowable...the ultimate egnima....so we will never have the whole Dino-story....but in my mind our Dino just wanted to makes his entertainer persona and his personal persona more congruent...comprendo?
There are many much more annoying people, why on Earth would our fab Dino even come into the picture?
Hey pallie, Miss Amanda likes exactly what I was thinkin'....the King of Cool annoyin'...NEVER...woulda you please takes some time to vote your Dino-feelin's?
That list of 'facts' is a little irrelavent....he was not a chain drinker and im pretty sure he Didnt get a face lift~~Just sayin
Hey pallie, well Miss Catie thanks for sharin' your first Dino-comments here at ilovedinomartin....I does think that our beloved Dino did get his face lifted...will have to check the Dino-details on that, and if you goes to this Dino-prose at ilovedinomartin you will find out 'bout our Dino's drinkin' habits through the eyes of Mr. Denis Leary.......

hopes you did your Dino-duty and voted often for the Dino-truth...and we'll be lookin' forward to more Dino-patter from you soon....
Sannie is right, he never got a facelift! Nose job yes, but nothing else.
Hey pallie, I thought that I read somewhere that he did...but I just can't keep all my Dino-facts straight....so many Dino-details and so much more to always Dino-learn....
