Is the tucked mullet considered a legitimate mullet?

While at a professional conference today I found it difficult to concentrate on anything other than the fantastic hairdo a woman was sporting. It was a tightly permed, down to the shoulders jobby that this woman obviously spent a lot of time tucking behind her ears to fashion a faux mullet. It was difficult not to snap a pic and post it on mulletsgalore.com, but then I got to thinking. Does the tucked mullet qualify as a real mullet, or is this woman somehow shunned by the Mullet Sporters of America because she refuses to take that extra step of cutting the sides short?

Heck yeah that’s been floating around for years. Some twisted pot head came up with that picture to mess with the Morons or is it Mormons? Cant quite remember. Anyway you’re supposed to stare at it intensly for a couple of minutes then shut your eyes ‘till a photo like image of Jeezus emerges. Rumor has it that it’s a picture of L. Ron Hubbard in disguise back in the old days when he was supposedly working for the CIA.
@amurican: ...what? OT much?
The mullet is as much about your mindset as it is the style. Attempting a mullet qualifies in my eyes.
They use pollock in artificial crab amurican.
I’m afraid to ask what “OT” means.
I come from a long line of punsters. It’s in m’blud.
@asmonet, don’t tell me you’ve never pondered the beauty that is the mullet?!?
I prefer the polluck myself especially with extra mayo but pleeze hold the un-yawns!
This is about as stimulating as a tapeworm orgy so I think I’ll bow out now. Dont all clap at once.
I’m hurt amurican. I thought this question really sparked some interesting dialogue. It’s cool though.
As you may have figured out I have an advanced form of OCD verging on Tourettes. When The tapeworm thing popped into my head the urge to use it overpowered me. Sorry if it binds up from time to time.
@amurican: OT – Off topic, you’ve edited your post now so it doesn’t matter. The original message was a complete non sequitur.
@gimmedat: Oh kiddo, there’s no need to ponder when you grew up in a house next to a trailer park in the south. You can just look at your neighbors. I’ve seen a worse hairstyle however. I don’t have a name for it, I called it the Scalp Oyster. Every time I rode the bus to work in FL there was a woman who would get on at my transfer stop. She was short and….squat. She always wore silk blouses and black stirrup stretch pants with a gold purse. Mismatched foundation, red lips, black penciled brows, and hot pink nails. You name the bad fashion trend this woman lived it. Anyway, her sense of ‘style’ and unfortunate polish choices were the least of my concern. Her hair was absolutely terrifying.
She had thin black hair, maybe 5 inches long from root to tip in any given area. Now, imagine you took you fingers and placed them where your ‘sideburns’ are, then move those fingers at a 45 degree angle to meet at the top back of your skull. This was her part. Yes, it was horizontal – and in the back. Now, from there she brushed the top half forward and plastered the bottom half to her head and neck, the only movement the hair ever saw was at the tips on both ends which she meticulously curled all the way around – flipping back towards the part. I mean every curled hair perfectly aligned with the preceding one. The reason I call it the Scalp Oyster is that it always seemed like an oyster had succumbed to the most awful kind of rigor mortis, the shiny hard black shell with a thin strip of pink squishy flesh in the middle, sometimes undulating with the rhythm of her head. I imagined I was witness to this particular sea creatures last spasms of death. I was very bored on that bus.
Every single day I saw this woman. And every single day I fought the urge to drop my water on her head when the bus hit a pothole. Every. Single. Day.
I always imagined her morning might be ruined but without the eyebrows and the crazy hair how many compliments would this woman receive? A few, a dozen, perhaps….with a change so great….millions?
Wow. That was much longer than I intended.
Thank you, asmonet. You have found a special place in my fasionista heart with that wonderfully crafted response. I was on that bus with you. Thanks.
Happy to amuse, and I’m glad I wasn’t alone, it was me and a CD player and Oyster Head. No thanks. :)
mutual lurve?
Got to watch out for those off topic thought police. They’re such a bore!
No, a tucked mullet is not a legitmate mullet. I like to tell my boys that one does not just stroll into a wicked mullet, it takes serious time and effort. As far as I’m concerned the tucked mullet is just phoning it in.
Mullets are to be seen and not herded.
NVOldGuy, where have you been?? Long time, no Fluther you crazy old man!!
