You're not working hard enough on your modules unless you get blue foamboard particle dandruff in your hair. Will Selsun Blue shampoo work on blue foamboard dandruff? Only Kevin Hughes knows for sure.

Photo from the big end of 2005 SouthWest Free-mo party. We loaded our Colts and Winchesters and shot a bunch of old Tyco locomotives off of the backs of mules. After all, this is New Mexico. No mules were harmed in the making of modules. Photo by Pancho Villa.
