(Yes, children, Miley's dad used to be this un-cool)
I, however, associate the one and only Albert Clifford Slater with the horrid hair-do:
AC was a good guy, sweet boyfriend despite his douche bag girlfriend, good athlete and a lover of animals, especially lizards. His mullet wasn't all that awful, just a bunch of curly locks that got a little out of control and you couldn't really blame him for his hair-do since he had a stylist who purposely did that to him on a daily basis. Despite his dimples and sweetness, the hair-do didn't do the man justice and was still hard to swallow (that's what she said) yet he is the ONLY person in the history of mullets to not look absolutely ridiculous, God awful, trailer trash disgusting when wearing it.
Whenever you see someone with a mullet, you 1) are probably in a Wal-Mart and 2) shudder in self-disgust. You also find yourself mesmerize by the fact that this person was brave enough to wear this monstrosity out of the house, into the public, at the risk of stoning and humiliation. You may (if you are me or Cocoa Von Hoffman) follow them discreetly with your cell phone camera and attempt to take a picture of them to send to your friends for a chuckle.
Today, I encountered a mullet face on, looked it right in it's FROSTED TIPPED bangs and thought, "Oh! This is where Joe Dirt went to die!"
I had to interview a daycare today for Gus. The lady who runs the home daycare seriously had a frosted tipped mullet. It wasn't just a regular mullet. It was shaved on the side, brunette with gold bangs and gold ends. It also had roughly a pound of hair gel in it to make it spiky in all the right places. I was very proud of myself for not immediately turning around and running out of there screaming. Instead, I sat there and interviewed her while she told me that she lives with a "roommate" named Kari (I have no problem with lesbians, just admit it, don't tell me you are 35 years old with a 16 year old son and live with another woman who's just your roommate.) She also told me that there is no meal plan for the kids, oftentimes the parents bring food for the kids at the beginning of each day, if I wanted Gus fed her food (and God knows what it would be), it'd be an extra three dollars a day. The tv is constantly on and even though some kids don't like it, she makes them sit down and watch it for 'quiet time'. When she started throwing a big, bouncy beach ball type basketball off of the two 2 yr old girls' heads "this is what we do for fun!", I got out of there. No, Gus will not be going there.
Yes, I should have turned right around after spotting the mullet.
Go ahead, call me superficial, but I will never trust someone with a mullet....unless his name is AC Slater.
