Where No Man Has Gone Before. I got this email from my Very Funny friend Ben today:
Subject: Star Brek: Where No Man Has Gone Before
Date: Mon 01/10/05 08:56 AM
Well George, you're a star now. I guess. I was just trying to figure out how I could incorporate Brekkie into the subject line and this was as good as it got.
Read your blog. Very nice. Can't believe you'd never heard of FOB before. Never heard of synchronized douching though.
It was good talking with you yesterday, just wish I had more to talk about. Maybe my New Year's resolution should be to be more exciting and engaging, NAH!
Here's the addy for my page.

Enjoy.

To know Ben is to laugh. You should check out his site, it's a fledgling just like this one. But funnier.
Speaking of hilarity, I came across a term today that describes what I subjected my yard to this weekend: lawn mullet. You know, business up front, party in the rear? I'm gonna have to dig up those old pics of my transition from shoulder-length hair to Mr. Clean. I ran through several hair styles in the interim, including a glorious three hour stint with a dog, a mullet, and a pickup truck.
Posted by George at January 10, 2005 11:58 PMYour picture reminds me of Miami Vice- it's the sun against those palm trees! It also reminded me that my own mini vacation to Florida is one month away! Thank goodness!
I'm going to have to investigate this lawn mullet. I am the mullet collector. My girlfriends and I snap pics of unsuspecting victims. You should try it sometime, it's amazing what seeing a bad hair cut can do for your day.

Have you ever read the book about mullets, "Hairstyle of the Gods?" Good stuff.
Posted by: george at January 11, 2005 09:45 AMI've never heard of that book. Who is the author?
I could see you on a cigerette boat... White sports coat with tha' colla' popped, pink shirt and boat shoes, no socks...
OH!
You must check out: www.retrojunk.com
I think you may find some Miami Vice!
ok, so yesterday, when we were driving back from the boondocks of michigan, we made a few stops. i maintain that at each of them, there wer at least a couple of michigan militia members ready to kill me, since i am the axis-of-evil the middle eastern terrorist. anyway, at one of the rest stops, lacey and me encountered a women in a flannel shirt w/ a classic mullet. wow. were we scared. wow. don't ever smurf off women w/ mullets.
(by the way, this road trip also led to the decision that smurf or some variation thereof is my new substitute for such uncouth words as "freakin'" and "pissed" or variations thereof... just so you know) :)
Posted by: nas at January 11, 2005 12:51 PMJ: the authors are Mark Larson and Barhey Hoskyns. You can google or amazon it. I'll check retrojunk latah on.
Ms. Terrorist: You think Michigan is bad, try West Virginia. My sister had two married professors at Marshall University who sported _matching_ mullets. His and hers.
I caught the smurf thing straight away. Your permission to use it?
Posted by: george at January 11, 2005 03:05 PMall systems go on the smurf thing, mr. rocket scientist. also, you should know that lacey and i today coined a new acronym for the use of "smurf" -- SU is now "smurfed up." so next time you're tempted to say something uncouth, go for the SU. yay for our blue buddies!
Posted by: nas at January 11, 2005 05:22 PMIt's hard to erase the image of a red-headed mullet in a white t-shirt and Wrangler-tight jeans meeting you and your best friend's mother at the airport. "Uh, this is my friend George. He wants to be a rocket scientist."

Everyone, this is my best friend Mandar. She is clever. Like finding out about this site without being told. And posting the funniest comment I've read today. She also completed the story of the mullet...
Yay for Mandar! Hip hip hooray!
