Wait, Australia banned the mullet? WTFBBQ, Bruce?

What next, the boomerang? The didgeridoo? Fosters? Shrimp on the barbie?

Instead of policing hairstyles, that school's resources might be better utilized in teaching its students how not to be killed by everything that lives there.

I'm not particularly proud of this but, at one time I had a rat tail. It was at a very low point in my life.

Crikey.

Well, if you go to a Christian College, you gotta expect ANYTHING.

Nmeh! Nmeh! Unacceptable! Requires consumption of mass quantities of fried chicken embryos and beer.

I once had a waist length mullet/pony tail. Random women would walk right up to me, start feeling up my hair, and tell me how nice it was. So I wasn't going to change a thing!

Until I spent a week in Oklahoma, in August, during a heat wave. Had the barber take 2 feet off the back after the first day there, which was spent on a roof.

West Australian Premier Mark McGowan [said] “I’m very pro mullet, it’s a unique Australian invention – one which we’ve been selling to the world, ..."

I doubt very much that David Bowie and other rockers of the 1970s got it from Australia.

David Bowie tells the story of attending a very early Stones concert, where they were opening for Little Richard. Someone in the crowd yelled "Get your hair cut!" and Mick yelled back, "What, and look like YOU?" (although it probably should be spelled "Wot, and look like YEW?").
