Another Good Use For The Internet

Now you can find the remaining few people on earth who think that Mullets make a positive fashion statement. If you're inclined to watch Mulletheads in their natural environment, try tractor pulls, trailer parks (with or without a tornado approaching), or Wal-Mart.

While we're at it, The term Mullet(hair context obviously) traces back to the 1967 prison film Cool Hand Luke, starring Paul Newman and George Kennedy. Kennedy's character refers to Southern men with long hair as "Mullet Heads."

Now that we've wandered off to "Cool Hand Luke", that movie deserves Oscars in three categories no usually covered by the Academy:
1. Most Quotable
2. Best Scene Involving Hard-Boiled Eggs
3. Sweatiest.

I told a coworker that when the current project was over, that I was going to find a warm, sunny beach. Palm trees, gorgeous women in oh-so-tiny swim suits, etc.

He fixed me up with that beach, for free.
