This list is getting very 'Jerry Springer'. Does this Ahren bloke have a mullet haircut and mustache per-chance?
What is a mullet haircut? I asked myself that very same question after reading John's message, so I investigated (http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Hills/6906/). It appears a mullet haircut is what I've always know to be referred to as "hockey hair" or a "butt-rocker" haircut. A good tie-in with the recent dicussions of American trailer parks. My question is the following: Does listening to country music, watching pro wrestling, and driving Camaros lead one to get a mullet haircut, or is it that people with mullet haircuts are naturally draw to these pursuits? It's sort of a chicken-and-the-egg discussion. Any opinions would be appreciated.
Having lived amongst the mullet-headed for a summer (Oshawa Ontario provides invaluable field study opportunities for those interested in this species), I can offer the following: the hair does not occur as a result of the watching wrasslin' or waiting anxiously for the new Aerosmith record. NOr does one drive a bitchin' camaro because of the haircut. All these things seem to occur simultaneously - because the individual, for some reason, thinks - hey, this looks really good, and chicks'll dig me. Other popular items are acid-wash jeans, t-shirts with slogans on them (I'm with stupid comes to mind, but that's a little more cerebral than most) and of course the obligatory moustache. Other offences to good taste I witnessed - a neon purple pick-up truck lowered so it drove about four inches off the ground with purple running lights and a chain around the license plate. I dunno what it is - maybe they just don't get cable tv or are trapped in a space/time loop which has trapped them forever in 1985. It's the Wedding Singer to the nth degree.
