I’ve not visited a Wal*Mart in years because of mullets and asscracks.
See! I knew I wasn’t awake that day. It still doesn’t prove it was fashionable though.
But really, Ben Franklin did not have a mullet. The painter was only playing a joke on us. I can here him now “Ha, the people in the future wiill think that one of the greatest minds of this country actually wore his hair like this.” This is what they had to do for jokes before PaintShop and computers made it so much easier.
“hear him now”
I just moved to NC, where the mullets run free. On the men AND women. Yikes.
I remember when I was a kid I was so mad at my parents for not letting me grow a mullet. Now I know that parents always know best, thanks mom and dad.
Neither, they both sprang forth from butt rock together.
I agree, Rickjay, mullets are definitely a crime with differing degrees of gravity.
Trans-Ams and pick-up trucks, as well as acid-washed jeans, definitely make it a capital offense.
Hockey Hair: Is that not the same as a mullet? I was lectured on the subject once, apparently there’s a difference. The only evidence I need to prove otherwise is Jaromir Jagr.
I once knew a guy who had not a mullet but a rat-tail (remember those?), not braided, that hung all the way down his back.
A mullet-related offense, if ever there was one.
“Hockey hair” is simply a Canadian euphemism for a mullet. It is also known in these parts as a “shortlong” or “sho-low.”
No matter what you call it, it’s fucking ugly, and no self-respecting person would ever cut their hair that way. It’s not even cool for being rebellious. It is the antithesis of rebellion. It’s 30 years ago without even being nostalgic.
And yes, I remember rat-tails. In fact, not only do I remember them, I still see them from time to time being worn by the young sons of mullet-headed fathers. Really - I saw one just a couple of weeks ago while Christmas shopping.
Oh my stars and garters. I thought I was looking at three Edward Everett Horton impersonators paying tribute to “The F-Troop Years.”
Oh come on- that first picture has GOT to be fake. GOT to be. Please? Mommy?
::whimper::
(awaits the "I’m OK you’re OK police to come in and tell me how mean I am for making fun of the personal choice this family made to wear fluffy mullets.)

What’s tragic is that the poor little girl wasn’t able to choose for herself. This horror of nature was foisted upon her. Poor kid.
I know !
There should be a Hippocratic Oath for hairdressers.
‘I swear by Apollo Physician and Asclepius and Hygieia and Panaceia and all the gods and goddesses, that I shall never, no matter how much the customer begs, provide a haircut in the style of the Mullet … particularly if the customer has a fondness for Bon Jovi, hairspray, or pickup trucks with antlers on the dashboard …’
although I suppose the true Mullet-philes would then do it themselves, which would be an unimaginably unforgivable crime, on par with Treason, or Alarming her Majesty.
Ben Franklin = no mullet. He had mulletude, no doubt, but he does not display the required 3:1 ratio.
For further clarification, and a site that treats the mullet the way it should be, I urge you all to investigate www.mulletjunky.com for further information.
Do not be afraid people! We must learn to love the mull, knowledge will set you free.
You know, I 've always wondered if that picture of the mullet family was photoshopped. That kid can’t be more than 3 years old or so. Is it possible for a 3 yo to have hair that long?
It WAS altered, right? Right? Please!
A gas station near where I went to college had a guy working there with both a mullet and a pompador.
Business in the front, party in the back.
:eek: Agghh! My eyes! My eyes!
Actually, you all should come to Baltimore and visit lovely downtown Dundalk or Essex, where the mullet reigns supreme. For both males and females. Satin baseball jackets and skin-tight jeans are required to complete the look.
And Athena came from the thigh? Now I’m confused.
I am not now, nor have I ever been, a member of the mullet party.
When someone asks the hairdresser for a mullet do they call it a “mullet” or… what? How do you request this hairstyle?
