Title: Reason Not to Have a Mullet?
Post by: aknimitz on August 17, 2003, 08:38:52 PM: LANGLEY, Washington (AP) -- An amusement park operator was killed Saturday when his hair got caught on a roller coaster car, pulling him up as high as 40 feet before he fell, back-first, onto a fence.

Doug McKay, 40, was spraying lubricant on the tracks of the Super Loop 2, a ride at the Island County Fair on Whidbey Island, when his long hair got caught on a car full of fairgoers, sheriff's spokeswoman Jan Smith said.

"It basically scalped him, and he fell and landed on the fence," Smith said.

McKay, co-owner of Paradise Amusements, based in Post Falls, Idaho, was pulled between 25 and 40 feet into the air.

Paradise Amusements had set up rides at the Island County Fair, located about 30 miles northwest of Seattle, for the past three years, Smith said.

Smith said grief counselors were on hand but that the fair continued after the incident.

Who in their right mind would actually want one based on that name? Do you wake up in the morning and say to yourself "I think today I am going to get a mullet. I really want that "white trash" look.""?

You didn't shoot me down Vulcan, I was running in a hard dive from your Typhoon and broke my wings in the F4U-1D. You said, and I quote, "No guts, no glory."

Well, I didn't know at the time a corsair couldn't outrun a tiffie, and now I know. for not calling me a coward, after I explained things to you. You're a class act Vulcan!!! You're a good guy, no matter what anyone else says.:D

Post by: Mini D on August 18, 2003, 11:36:26 AM: That's BS! Just because someone's hair got them killed doesn't mean mullets are bad. I bet there are several carnival operators with mullets that have never been a safety issue (several = more 6 or more).

Few is relative as is several.

There's even a song about Mullets "All Business up front and Party in the Back!" Plus I saw a commercial for a new Family sitcom called "The Mullets" coming to a low power UHF station near you this Fall.

They'd run him over in their banana-yellow 1978 Camaro, with "We Built This City" blaring in the background.

Post by: Sikboy on August 19, 2003, 02:39:46 PM: I've Got An Ape Drape
By the Vandals

Make it like that famous country singer
Or that guy I saw last night on Jerry Springer
Clean me up but let me keep my edge,
In the day I like to keep it dignified
But at night you know I got another side
And I don't give a damn, cause I am what I am
Even if it's really really bad
I've got an Ape Drape, yes I do
They're givin' em to anyone, and that means you
You can drive to Riverside and get one too
And then you'll have an Ape Drape like I do
Go ahead and buzz it 'round the ears
I've been growin' that one braid back there for years
I've had it since the first time I saw Queensryche
The front may conform to society
But the back says I have personality
Even if it's really really, even if it's really really bad
Make it short in front and long in back!
If the top's not short enough that it stands up
I could be thrown out of the Bad Boy Club
But don't you lay a finger on my pony tail
Now fix my kid so he looks just like me,
And then matching crazy pants are all we need
Some may call it child abuse I just call it bonding with you Dad.
I've got a Norco Neck Warmer yes I do
They're giving 'em to anyone, that means you. You can drive to Norco and get one too, then you'll have a Norco Neck Warmer like I do.
I've got Aikey Breaky Hair... Nashville
I've got Hockey Hair... Canada
Mullet... Hoboken
Forbidden Hair...Europe
Shom...Florida

Slander the mullet at your peril. It's the hair-do of the gods.
