Hey pallies, likes love for our Dino takes all kinds of sizes and shapes, all kinds of types and stripes and on this 9th day of our Dino-amore month celebration we are proudly pleased to share with you what we consider one of the ubber ultimate wondrous ways that anyone can personally express their deepest devotion to our most most beloved Dino.

Likes our pallies at Twingly Advanced Blog Search sent us way of "THE MASSACHUSETTS DAILY COLLEGIAN" where  Collegian Correspondent Mr. Kyle Lai shares the incredibly intriguin' story of "Israeli actor and former soldier" Dean Miroshnikov discussin' his identity.  It's fascinatin' story that we won't go into details here, but you can read the whole story by clickin' on the tag of this Dino-gram and goes to it's original location.

What we must share is that sometime after the age of nine Mr. Miroshnikoy "immigrated with his mother to Israel" and as stated below, at some point,  he changed his name to, likes youse guessed it pallies...DEAN MARTIN.  He changed his name in order to hopefully get 'long better in his new homeland, but likes of all the names that Miroshnikoy coulda chosen to tag himself....at a tender age he chose to name himself after our one and only DINO!  And to this very day, while reclaimin' his family name, he still goes by the sir name Dean!

Miroshnikov, then going by his birth name of Dimitri, found it immensely difficult to acclimate himself to Israeli society. The desire to belong was so strong that he changed his name to the less “Russian-sounding” name, “Dean Martin,” after the American actor, unbeknownst to his family.
