I was wondering if anyone here has or had a mullet? it doesn't really seem like a mac user thing to do. About a week ago the little town of aurora about 15 minutes away from where i live had a garage sale, like everyone in the town had stuff for sale, we went and everyone their had mullets. What is it about small towns and hicks and mullets? whats the attration? are they like easy to take care of or something? I don't get it. . . .

gosh, I havent had a mullet in 17 years. I was 7. I don't remember how my hair turned into a mullet, but somehow it did, I think it was all the dukes of hazard and monster trucks, nascar, and pro-wresting that did it to me. J/K...It was that damn Billy Ray. <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" />

But then I migrated to red mohawk, to bleached blonde surfer boy, and now I have settled with the mark mcgrath hair style...for now.

But, just because I have had a mullet does not mean I cannot use a mac....At least I hope not; Don't tell Steve okay.

No, not now. But when I was in my teens (mid-80's), I have to admit I had the popular LIBSIF (long in back, short in front) look going.



I went through a pretty bitchin' Duran Duran rooster phase (in honor of John Taylor) where it was pretty long in back, pretty long in front, SHORT on the sides and appropriately poofed/boinged up.



Now I'm 33 and it's just a standard, regular guy cut (short on sides and back, sideburns, longer on top and front and flung casually back and held in place with Elmer's School Glue and lime Jell-O).

Think Alec Baldwin or Vince Gill...minus the talent.

A mullet is the haircut that is short in from and just long in the back. Like the bangs go all the way back go to <a href="http://www.mulletsgalore.com" target="_blank">www.mulletsgalore.com</a>

edit=go to classifications on the sight for good pics

omfg! thats horrible! Reminds me of most germans and austrians. ugh. the horror... the horror. Also many eastern european guys seem to still have those kind of haircuts... as if they were still stuck in the 80s or something

I never understood why people go crazy when they see people with mullets. It's a disgusting look IMO and it's nothing special.

At least Mike Piazza doesn't have his weird ass mullet type haircut anymore

The incidents of mullet-topped men and women (yes even women) rises as one approaches either Canada or Tennessee.

And yes, ZO, most of Eastern Europe is catching up to style and fashion in out west, but they had to start in the 50's. It's amazing they've gotten as far as they have!

If it makes you feel better, I appreciated the megatokyo comic. Then again, I think that subtitled anime is better than dubbed anime, so I admit that I am eccentric enough to like stuff like this.

Subbed anime IS better than dubbed anime. Only an idiot would think otherwise. Seriously though, a lot of dubs have REALLY REALLY bad voice actors. I mean they sound worse than saturday morning cartoons, worse than Barney's voice even.

We should be thankful for towns like Aurora. They are the last bastion of all that is mullet. Mullets in the public eye are dying off fast. Even Barry Melrose nixed his mullet last spring! Barry friggin' Melrose!



You know when Barry chops the mullet there is a larger force at play, bearing down on mullets everywhere. If you saw him today I bet even Richard Dean Anderson doesn't have one. Be afraid friends - very afraid. One day we will miss the mullets. What will we have to stare at while waiting in line at K-Mart or the local amusement park??

Ok so the hicks now have an 80s hairstyle. Does this mean that in the 80s they had a 60s hairstyle?

Richard Dean Anderson is now on that "Stargate" show, and he's got kinda a short, gelled-up spiky thing going. The McGymullet is long gone.



You know where I see TONS of bodacious mullets? Here in SoCal (I'm sure lots of other Southwestern cities/regions), there are several Spanish-language networks.

They show lots of soap operas (with the sexiest women EVER!) and lots of music/variety shows too ("Sabado Gigante" and so forth).

Many of the men in the soap operas (especially someone playing a villian) will have a pretty ferocious mullet going.

Then, on the variety shows, there are always lots of Tejano bands playing songs. And if it's a six-man group, odds are that 4-5 of them will be sporting a righteous mullet of some sort!

NEVER fails!

It's almost become a little mini-obsession of mine to flip through those channels in the evening and see how many I can find.



You used to see them in pro wresting a lot also. BAD ones, too! Some screaming, wild-eyed lard-ass in a bleached-blonde mullet, purple tights and a belt with a hubcap-sized championship buckle on it is quite a thing to behold.

Hey wait! That guy to the right of Richard Dean Anderson appears to be sporting a rare "scientist mullet". This is where the hair around the ears isn't abruptly shorter than the back - rather, it kind of "tapers" for the more sophisticated look.
