We helped them in WWII. They helped us to ungrease our hair and learn how to JANGLE.

You all jangled now, Dane?

You bet, buddy...a little dab'll do ya. And you're right..."what go around come around," as Cypress Hill put it so well. Although I still shudder to think what might have happened if them Brits hadn't invaded...Pat Boone would still be putting out records and...oh wait a minute, never mind. As to the hair greasing...er, have you checked out Ashcroft and Wolfowitz lately? Apparently not everyone got the memo. That reminds me, I gotta mail off a copy of "The Autobiography of Malcolm X" to Condoleeza right away...we gotta get that sistah t'quit konkin' her hair!

There...I be janglin' real good now...

Wolfowitz doesn't use grease (at least, not on his topknot)...

He uses...oh, never mind, as a sage once said in a Rick Forum post.

Butter...hair grease...I was worried for awhile that this thread might go wandering off into the weeds and get lost...but, lo and behold, it's come full circle! Excellent work, everyone...

Right on, Michael! Life, liberty and the pursuit of individual grooming styles...that's what it's all about. As for me, I sat in the post barber's chair next to my old man the Sarge once a week until he got out when I was 14...I'd had more than a lifetime's worth of haircuts by that point. When you're born in a U.S. Army hospital, the first thing they do after the circumcision is wheel you down the hall for your first high-and-tight...

Bet I'm older than you, Michael, and if I knew where my hair went, I'd find out just what a "Hollywood" haircut was, or is...

Dane - I had a few of those "high and tights" myself!!! I ( know what you mean - my brother-in-law was a Navy man for 27 years) Made me sleep on my stomach when I was over for a visit!

Paul - where have you been all your li... never mind, I remember now - Chicago!!
Yep - I know you're older than me. I remember those stories you told about "being the timbrel player in King Nero's band"!!!

A "Hollywood" was "in" about 1960 or so. Real short all over - except they left your "bangs"...
Chicks really dug it... I think!

Now chicks are wearin' it!...I think...

The chix here in SF wear 'em all the time. We call them "Castro Cuties". And multi-colored. Youse guys remember those barber posters with the Leave-It-To-Beaver Wally haircuts? I'll take a #7, hold the fries...

LOL!!

I remember those posters. My dad used to tell the barber, "just start cut'n, I'll tell ya' when to stop". Not much of a chance in those days for a "Beatle-do"...
Chris - are you sport'n a Hollywood - what color???
C'mon baby - tell us the truth...

Back in my school days, the 'military cut' was called a 'basin backer'. The idea was that the barber put a soft plastic bowl (or basin) over the top of your head and then run from the base of your neck up to the rim of the bowl with the clippers set to #1.

Boy, did your mates give you **** from a great height is you turned up with one of those!!
