It seemed like a good idea...

Last week I was hanging out with some friends (As well as towing one of their cars to the shop) and phones and internet popped up in the discussion, since one of my friends doesn't have internet at home yet and he's still stuck in the 1990's with an ancient cellphone, that by all rights, shouldn't even be possible to use (I thought the towers all switched from Analog to Digital?)

Myself and another friend both told him he needed to buy a phone from this century, which would allow him to check his email, browse the net, purchase stuff online, and cost about the same as what he's paying for the current phone. To which he responded "I'll buy a new phone when Chris gets a hair cut!" Which is a long running joke, almost as long as my hair :glasses7:

Guess who has to go phone shopping tomorrow :finga:

At 3am, while waiting for coffee to brew, I had this brilliant idea of just taking a crack at my hair myself, armed with scissors, a comb, clippers and an antique wall mirror in the bathroom. I chopped a good 16" or more off the length of my hair. Now it barely reaches my neck. Seemed like a good idea :D For not being able to see what I was cutting, it turned out pretty decent. Sure feels different though, and my friends probably won't recognize me.

It's also the first time I've had my hair cut since probably 2009, even back then, that last hair cut was a "trim it up a little, but don't take the length." type deal. The "Mane" had been growing out since my early teens, despite constant threats of "You fall asleep and I'm shaving your head" from my dad when I was in my teens. :D He wasn't kidding either. I fell asleep on the couch one night, all of a sudden I hear CLICK RRRRRRRRRRR. I sat straight up and there's my dad standing a foot away from me, clippers in hand and they're turned on :D
 
LOL I had the "mullet" until 10 years ago when I started dating my current wife. On the second date she said " why don't you let me plan the date, we'll go downtown, get lunch, listen to a band, get massages and get a haircut"..... HAIR CUT? ......I wasn't sure that I wanted to get one but I was really into my wife and I figured that it would grow back. 10 years later and it's still short, but it was worth it. Maybe we should start a "show us your long hair" thread.LOL

I've been guilty of sporting a mullet on more than a few occasions. Not now, it's an extremely short shaggy type haircut. I'll have to get some pictures of it, or my friends will. They'll want to capture that on film, "The day hell froze over" :D

"Long hair" Thread? I'd be game for that, I had long hair through most of my teens into my mid-20's (present day).

Except for Christmas Eve 2004...Guess what my dad gave me for a christmas present....RRRRRRRRR.... Had to grow back all that hair :D In fact I have a picture of that evening somewhere, my dad laughed all night and got a picture so he could rub in the fact that I got a hair cut. I did not look happy in that picture :D
 
That's funny, I just cut mine off Monday evening.
Went from long to very short.
Will be sending it into Locks of Love this morning.
I was thinking of posting a long hair thread anyway
so you might as well start one.
Just curious, how old are you guys?
I'm 57.

I made that mistake in 2001. Now it wont grow back. Never mind the bottle of booze. I was probably 20 or 21 in this picture.

Mine went to locks of love also. I was in my early 20's when I cut it. Im 36 now.
 
Promised a picture of the carnage, and since it's FABO... Well, "Nicole" had to be in the picture too, it's a shame her sister Lucille (6-71 Blown Duster) couldn't be there instead.





Yes, sadly my hair line has receded a bit (part of the reason I actually was brave enough to cut the mane)

One of my friends happened to be nearby when I got the picture and he says it reminded him of Nicholas Cage in the Gone in 60 Seconds remake...only the way the movie should have been, with a screamin 340 as the main character/car
 
LOL.................

Lol... sounds like you and your friend are giving up the 90's
 
I tried to trim my hair once.

Didn't turn out well. I'm no stylist....


It looks so easy when they cut it at the salon... Not so easy on yourself at home....
 
Treva cut mine a couple days ago :cheese: it took here every bit of 3 minutes :banghead:
I have a solar panel on top :glasses7: to much traffic I guess ;)
 
Kid Rock is the one I use to hear all the time. Now its Duck Dynasty because of my beard, or John Holmes but thats only from the waist down !
 
Jesus and Jerry Garcia was what I always heard.

Believe it or not my club /road name is Rockerbox.
