I've been hangin' out over in the Spanish forums and I didn't want to have to post these in spanish so here they are.....

That Daniel Powter song "Bad Day" that they play each week makes me sadder.

Ace is going next week... I'd say Bucky or Kellie, but it's gonna be country week so they'll do ok.  I'm stepping up the voting for Katherine.....

Gotta go see what this unanimous show is all about....

Law me.... I'm already up to the 80's.....       Ahhhh the 80's....

Unfortunately, when I think of the 80's, I think MULLET.  You know, the hairstyle.  Really short hair in the front and long flowing locks in the back??? Picture a #7 and that's what the side view of a mullet looks like.

Let's MULL over the Mullet for a bit shall we???

Once that good ol' Achy Breaky boy Billy Ray Cyrus stepped off the barber chair sporting his new "do", creating the sensation that has become the mullet, no one was safe.... Everyone was wearing one.  The Beastie Boys wrote a little ditty about it.  The '93 Phillies had an entire team wearing "neck warmers" and Brad Pitt even sported a mullet in Thelma and Louise.

The term mullet has been traced back to the movie "Cool Hand Luke" (though I'm seriously doubting that Paul Newman ever sported one) because George Kennedy calls the southern boys with long hair, "mulletheads".  The mullet has had many nicknames over the years.  My personal favorites are: Tennessee top hat, business in the front party in the back, the ape drape, the mud flap, and achy breaky - big mistakey.

Unfortunately, some people did not get the memo that the 80's are over.

The mullet is

The "do" that still does.

Despite widespread ridicule and mockery this haircut continues to thrive.  

There are websites galore out there with pics of these hairstyles.  People are wearing them proudly and the MULLET HUNTERS are after them.  The mullet hunters make it their life's mission to hunt down the mullet and get a photo of it for the www. They can be sneaky, so if you are wearing a mullet, your pic is probably out there somewhere....

If you are wearing a mullet, cut it off.  If a family member is wearing a mullet, drive them to the barber/beauty shop(preferably not the one that gave them the mullet). 

Let's work together and do what we can to eradicate the mullet!!!
