On the UPN network this fall, [THe Mullets](http://www.upn.com/shows/fallpreview_2003/show04.shtml). :eek: > [@](#): > > THE MULLETS are blue-collar, wrestling-loving, light-hearted, optimistic brothers who don the hairstyle that bears their surname (“business in the front, party in the back”). …Loni Anderson? …John O’Hurley?

Might be the dumbest premise ever, but I live in Kentucky, and the premise is absolutely correct. There are literally _tons_ of these folks here. ---

I was in Shreveport visiting friends in early March, and we had a minor mullet-spotting contest going very well. You got a double mullet score if said mullet was wearing a cowboy hat. ---

Out here in Phoenix, we’ve got the right idea. We take all of the mullet-wearing hicks and relegate them to a single community outside of the city. It’s called Apache Junction. They live and work out in AJ, so we never have to see them. The only time they affect our lives is when they call in to the local rock station. Expressing their love for Van Halen. And Ratt. :rolleyes: By the way, my friend from Alabama also refers to the mullet as a “Kentucky Waterfall”. ---

If I ever post that I watched that, would some doper please come to my house and destroy all my tvs? Preferably by bashing them over my head.
