Hair Apparent
Famed NASA scientist Steevil sends along this link to PajamasMedia's powerful and hard-hitting essay on the important political topic of spendid tonsorial displays. Quote to take with you? Obviously, from the Manolo, who opines: "[...] the beautiful and important southern hair can make up for many sins of the flesh and spirit."
That is just so true.
As a sidenote, I myself have noted in the not-too-distant past the follicular similarities betwixt He Who Must Be Groomed and groovypopstar Bobby Sherman.
And by way of full disclosure, I personally am all eat up with the beautiful and important southern hair, to whit:
And yes, I have been told that I too bear a striking resemblance to a famous celebrity--
What, no mullets?

Posted by: DaveH at April 24, 2007 04:00 PMI read your previous entry and I think the hit at the Smurfs' intellect was uncalled for.
Posted by: Larry Anderson at April 24, 2007 04:48 PMBefore I get into the hair thang, would a "Big Boys Club" subsection of the AoW be redundant? I suppose if you only consider the guys, though we do have plenty of fine female AoW'ers. Well, there is Skinnydan too ...
Southern hair
better keep your head
Don't forget
what your barber said
Receding hairline
gonna come at last
Now those clippers
are cutting fast
Southern hair
I saw cowlicks
and I saw black (nose hairs)
Stray white hairs
that are coming fast.
Southern hair
when will you
be slicked back?
I heard buzzin'
and scissors snipping
How long? How long?
[up above the ears and trim all around, thanks.]
[I hope Neil Young will remember,
a Southern man don't need him around the barbershop anyhow.]
Any conversations involving me and hair are probably going to be short.
Unless it's ear hair we're talking about...
Posted by: skinnydan at April 25, 2007 07:42 AMMy apologies if I implied any connection between Skinnydan and southern hair in my last post. My only reason for bringing up Skinnydan was related to the Big Boy Club, and I did not do a good job expressing that.
As far as ear hair goes I can't help him with it, except to recommend giving his wife a pair of small scissors, sitting perfectly still and hoping she's not upset with you for any previous infractions.
Posted by: Marc V at April 25, 2007 10:17 AMHmm. An ear hair combover...
As for my mullet picture, I will remind Miss Sarah I am facing the camera head on, so you can only see the "business in the front" side, and not the "party in the back" side of my head.
Second, Don must be an incredibly handsome man.
Third, my apologies to the Smurfs, except for Smurfette, whom I will never forgive for her hatefulness and spite over that whole caramel apple incident.
Marc, you are a genius when it comes to songwriting. And I think a weight classifications would be good for the Axis of Weevil, just so when we have the boxing and Greco-Roman wrestling matches at the annual company picnic, everyone will be paired up with someone of like stature.
