The new yellow look is cheerful and reminiscent of research boats, not warships, and I suppose that's positive outlook now.<br /><br />But when Disneyland had the world's eighth largest submarine fleet, it was best for them to be gray.<br /><br />Fun stuff and a funny bunch of commenters. thanks everyone.<br /><br />JGJGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456196709930408585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-1560184972692206442013-09-16T10:56:12.941-07:002013-09-16T10:56:12.941-07:00Hang on, "SKATE?"
