My manager and I have joked about me getting a bowl cut for a day.
The local news station will be broadcasting from my store tomorrow morning.
Seems like the perfect time, no?
But where will I get a bowl cut? I kind of rode the back of the bowl cut wave growing up, so I don’t know how exactly they’re done, and if you need special skills. Can I go to a hair-cutty place and say “Make me look like Joey Lawrence from Gimme a Break?”
YES!
Get a bowl that fits over your head and shave everything underneath it. The bowl can even have a lip like a mixing bowl, just put the lip in the back and you will end up with a little duck tail thing. Rock on!
Woohoo!
I’m printing out a picture of Moe Howard, bringing it to the Hair Cuttery, and saying “Make me look like this.”
(because I don’t trust myself or any of my friends to be able to cut that straight a line into my hair, even with a bowl)
Why? Part of the joy of the bowl cut is that it is not necessarily even. It would look even better if you tried to do it yourself. Then you can look like some of the better groomed inhabitants near Camp Hillside. (It’s a backwood little gay naturist camp)
I’d be afraid, if I were the hair cutter. I’d have to ask you several times if you were serious.
But I still think this is funny - if you’ve got the balls to carry this off, you’ve GOT to go for it.
It…
Is…
DONE
I didn’t have quite enough hair, so I just have this little mushroom cap sitting on top of my head, rather than around it. But that’s good, because I look even more idiotic.
Hmmmm…I wonder if I can get fired over this.
Well…if you get Baltimore TV stations, you can check out that early news show thingy, I think it’s on 11 (WBAL, the NBC affiliate).
I tried to find out which station in a timely fashion, but no one could tell me!
Anyway, if you’re interested, just flip the local stations at around 5-6 AM till you find a show broadcasting from a store. Don’t want to say which one. I’ll be…well, I’ll be the idiot with the bowl cut.
You have GOT to post some pics…
Not that we’ll all laugh at you or anything 
/me would like to see an mpeg or avi too, if it’s available.
You are too funny
So, were you on TV this morning? That stinks, because I just left Baltimore yesterday. What show was it? My Rebound Guy is going to be on “Coffee With…” on WJZ on Friday.
And yes, you really should post pictures. 
Mushroom cap. Oh, yes, this is what the digital camera was invented for.
It was in fact WJZ 13, so I didn’t manage to videotape it.
I got there to open the store and had my hat and scarf on. Went into the bathroom combed it all smooth, and revealed it to my manager. She loved it. (No, she really did.)
But then I found out we’d all be wearing Christmas hats…
There were really only two short segments broadcast, but during both of them I managed to chuck the hat, comb my hair down into a nice shiny bowl, and hang around in view behind whomever was being interviewed. Don’t know how it turned out, but hopefully I’ll be hearing from some people who saw it!
Roommate has taken some photographs, and I’m going to get them developed soon.
