Healey = Irish?
Ethnic, can you change the featured post picture to the one with his mouse head, please? That’s how most people know him.
The way DJs have become household names his face will probably become well known before we know it.
ethnic, I had been hoping for a picture of Deadmau5 with his mouse head on, and then was hoping of putting that into featured pictures… you disappoint. :-)
If I put up the mouse head pic you would have to list him as rodent. :)
follers, Don Johnson nephew?
Grandson of the Canadian Don Johnson, yes.
follers, could you make Jeffrey Dean Morgan profile?
