My day was briefly halted today when someone sent me this website and the whole matter of the mullet became unavoidable for that brief moment or two in something comparable to a scene from one of Dante's more famed books. But it forced the question upon me, from which I had no escape: Do adult men/women in baggy jeans- still wear mullets? And do they still insist on having mullets occur along with the single ear-ring on their young male children? I had my reservations, but I am beginning to think we have not escaped this dark age of sensibility and I have a theory about that- about whom we might begin to blame. I think a big role in maintaining mullet-culture has been the daytime TV likes of Jerry Springer. When one thinks of him, one can hardly help but think of chair-throwing mullets. Indeed, if guns cause homicide, SUVs cause the death of exotic birds and sleeveless t-shirts cause the abuse of the fairer sex (be she commonlaw wed or of a more traditional arrangement) then perhaps mullets cause bad TV and the propensity to throw chairs. I should have to research this and there remain still many as yet unanswered questions, such as what is the affect of the mullet in Europe? Still popular with ?-class Germans, I have to wonder if it means something entirely different to them there or if they simply have never gotten over Billy Idol. That would explain the guys, I'm guessing. I think I need to do further research in Lisbon, Portugal before I make any conclusions on the entire matter. But it might also come from being culturally influenced by small mop-dogs with their poofy hair on top and their long ears and tails. Strange. I don't know of any cat-people who have mullets. Material, I'm sure for much debate among the cat and dog camps. I for one own a dog. I am not anti-cat and perhaps that is why I do not have a mullet! No, wait, my family would disown me. Or then again, I suppose they both could be true. Mor-on this later.
Well, these are some of my thoughts. I will leave you at that for now, I must return to my day. -Blogbat
