Yeah, I have no idea, either. I thing maybe the bitch clippered my frontal lobe.
That happened to me in Texas but it was cause I was in a mall but I needed a cut like right then so I guess it was worth it. We got yogurt after.
Never again.
Yeah, well, at least your haircut didn’t sink an entire franchise. Like Keri Russell. Or at least yet.
Go to the Regis out at Flatirons. Good haircut and a shampoo and head massage too. Not much more than the $30 you lit on fire for this one, either.
If you like the buzz-cut look, just get a Wahl clipper from Amazon and do it yourself or get your wife to do it. There’s really nothing to it.
This looks similar to the set we have.
I’ve been having my wife buzz me for a couple of years now, and I’ll never waste time and money in a salon again.
It’s also great to be able to go straight from the chair to the shower. Hair clippings down my back drive me batshit.
Jeff,
find an old style barber shop. Consistent cuts and only $12 bucks.
Fuckin’ Russell.*
*If you take the Snake joke, I got nothing.
My hairline has receded so much I just buzz off all the remainin’ hair. Besides, comb overs look stupid. On a bright note my beard is doin’ remarkably well. Plus, gray and red looks kinda cool. Except around Christmas when the little farts think I’m Santa, and tell me I need to gain weight. Smartasses.
Kurt’s acting dis-tressed.
If you want an Outlaw Jeff aka “Marshall Lucky along with Kurt and a cameo by the Prez Jimmy C. All I can say is… “$30, that’s too fuckin’ high”.
Great movie geoffb.
I cut my own. Been doing it for over twenty years and I look pretty as a picture.
i don’t think markos’s stuff is selling in pgh. bezerkly does that when faced with bitter clingers
Don’t let women cut your hair. That shit’s in the Bible.
And you missed Born Losers on TCM while you were out defying His Word, so you end up whining to Overboard Boy about it instead of getting some ass-kickin’ fake-injun wisdom laid on you by Billy Jack.
That fucked up haircut is your soul.
Yeah, and 1980, the, looking back now, welcome ending of an era.
Haircuts? I’m married, to a lass who first took a liken to me in the early 70’s when I had hair down to there. Couple three times a year, go in, buzz it back. What’s left of it anyway.
I usually get my hair cut down in Denver when I don’t cut it myself, but my wife talked me into going to her place. Which was like hell with foot-pump chairs.
Did catch the end of Born Losers, though, and am on to Wild Angels.
Will be watching Big Trouble in Little China later.
“but my wife talked me into going to her place”

I broke down a few weeks ago and went to a place I’d taken RTO to before and ended up really happy with my $15.00 haircut. no shampoo, no foofy layers, no blowdrying so I look like a poodle. and it was even, unlike when I’ve been cutting it and it always ends up too short.
Great movie geoffb.
ditto. If I can recall half correctly –
Jack: ~What does all this mean?
Old Chinese Master, very irritated: ~Jack, you were not put upon this Earth to understand what all this means!
what happened to that mail post you disappeared a little while ago?
I removed it to the kitchen where it is marinating in red wine vinegar and basil.
Now I’m confused because I think both “Used Cars”, #12, and “Big Trouble in Little China”, #5, are great. They were on my short list for tonight but we decided to go geek with “Galaxy Quest”. Always tomorrow.
Haven’t cut my hair at a proper salon in years. Occasionally, I force my mom to trim the ends.
It’s down to my waist.
Escape from New York, right? Crap, the oven buzzer is going, oatmeal cooki…
Take this as your opportunity to finally bring it down to about 1/4 inch. No more hat head. No more worrying about the grey. No more worrying about the ever larger forehead.
Jeff, not Dicentra.
Dicentra should look out for car doors and industrial machinery though.
You got to think about this long term: Your wife starts clipping your hair now, and the money you save goes to buy her even more expensive haircuts. Plus, when you’re young, it’s all sexy and cute and fun, but then when you’re old you’ll have someone who will cut your nose and ear hair for free—and think it was her idea.
Win-win baby.

peter.

Roger that. I usually wear it in a ponytail on the top of my head, but I’m told that Chester the Molester finds that a useful handle to grab.

bad $30 haircut / Kurt Russell: “No, I’m not kidding. And call me Snake.â€
That would make you Medusa, no?
Hey!
I removed it to the kitchen where it is marinating in red wine vinegar and basil.
were you doing Bruschetta too?
In three weeks no one will ever know.
Besides, comb overs look stupid.
Stupid in a bad way? Now you tell me.
I’m thinking a real outlaw would have a mullet. Or dreads.
My haircut costs $14 and a tip. I overtip, ’cause that’s awfully cheap for a haircut. Small town living, I tells you. And, if there is one thing I’ve learned on my 41 years on earth, is that cost and quality of a cut have no relation. I’ve paid $50 for a horrible cut. Trick in life is to simply keep trying the ladies at the local cheap place until you find one who does it right.
Silver, I think my hair is kind of outlaw. It’s upwards of 70% white, and I’ve stop dying it ’cause I think it looks kinda kick ass. Juxtaposed on a youngish face (I still got carded up till a few years ago.) Good or bad, people tend to notice it.
I select my stylist on a very simple criterion: Her boobs need to be longer than her arms.
Last haircut I got..two stylists arguing in front of crowded waiting room, pointing at my head…$11 for that! Now I just shave my head.
Comrade Carin,
I shouldn’t talk about haircuts – I’ve got a fine head of skin, and my beard is pretty silvery. With your white streaks though, wouldn’t you be better off with one of these?
I DVR’d Used Cars two weeks ago. Quite simply, it’s my favorite movie of all time, better even thatn The Nude Bomb.
that Ann Althouse one has white hair and a youthful face and she is very pretty I think. She could be on tv.
By the way, that Barak dude really sucks, don’t he?
Now this is a good Kurt Russell movie.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084787/
well, it’s not really streaks. Kinda most of the whole thing.
Got my hair cut badly yesterday too, on a whim, when I stopped for gas on the way home from Louisville. Got a coupon for tanning too. Didn’t do it because the haircut’s so bad. When I bitched about it, all I got was a bullwhip across the face from Zorro the Gay Blade.
BTW, not going to make it to Chicago, I was hoping to be there at least one night, but work is sending me East.
Great comedy. I especially like Lo Pan, when rescuers show up on underground fortress security monitors: “That REALLY pisses me off!!!”
Hell, Lo Pan is centuries old, dead, ghostly, horny and helpless, ugly…and THAT REALLY PISSES HIM OFF?
Haircuts? I go to a $12 barber that gets me in and out in 5 minutes. And its looks Ok, but then I am in high geezerage.
Ha. I have had a very easy time of it, hair-wise, for the last 24 years now. Army Standard, thanks much.
Say, wouldn’t a short cut help with all that rather rough grapple-choke-rip-tear-crush stuff that you do? Thats why I would leave the hand to hand combat to you.
I’ve been going to the same old line Italian barber for, kkkkkeeerist, 25 years (?) now, and he still only charges $10.
Carlo. Nice guy. Got a brood of beautiful daughters.
I got really good hair. Ask Bmoe.
Jack Burton: ‘It’s all in the reflexes…”
We should wait ten years to give out Oscars, and then should be judged based on how often they’re shown on cable. That is the acid test over time.
Example: When was the last time they showed The English Patient? Answer: Never! Because of teh suck.
But you can bet that seven stations are showing Big Trouble in Little China right now.
Ever since the scalping in boot camp, I vowed mine would never be that short again. For $15, I can hit the barber shop every month or so, short on the sides, leave me a few inches on top. Too thin, too gray, I don’t care. If you can’t keep a promise to yourself, what good are you?
I guess it falls to me to be the metro in the crowd. Last time we were in NY the wife talked me into getting my haircut at a mondo-expensive Salon in the meat-packing district: Bumble & Bumble. Girl spent an hour on my hair and when she was done I looked right snappy (wouldn’t let her do my eyebrows though…some things are just best left natural). B&B has a “college” that trains hairstylists the country over, so when I got home I looked for a salon that carries their product. Found one and now we both get our hair cut by Anke, a skinny blonde who grew up in East Berlin, who brings me coffee whenever I sit down in the seat, and whom I steadfastly refuse to let anywhere near my eyebrows.
The nice thing is, she doesn’t make my hair look fancy, just good. Nice and short, minimum fuss.
Having your hair washed by a large-breasted woman is not quite as pleasurable as having a large-breasted dental hygeinist clean your teeth if you are slightly masochistic.
You know, I felt so much better when I came out of the gingivadelorophile closet. It was like coming home…
I think this would be funnier if it involved a bikini wax instead of a regular haircut.
Yo, Kurt.
Who’s the stiff?
Difference between a good haircut and a bad one?
Two to three weeks.
*But you can bet that seven stations are showing Big Trouble in Little China right now.*
Got it taped on HD commercial free TV over the weekend. Classic. Course, if times shown on TV = Oscars, we’d be looking at past Best Pictures for “Clash of the Titans” and “Beastmaster” (allegedly Ted Turners favorite movies).
Haircut? WTF is that?
Probably need to factor in ratings per showing plus DVD sales and rentals over the 10 year period.
Damn, I miss the ’70’s. A bad hair day could ruin your week. Now, who cares? Shave it and sport a tattoo.
OT, but this video is one of the better political re-productions I’ve ever seen. Oh, and the music is from ‘68, another somewhat pivotal year, all things considered.
Went looking for a picture of Cousin IT due to #59 but found this page, The Good, The Bad, and The Balding.
Many years ago there was a cartoon in Playboy that I wish I had a copy of.
A man is sitting in the barber’s chair. His hair is at least a foot long, sticking out in all directions, and filled with leaves and sticks. A bird peeps out from its nest on one side.
The barber lifts the man’s forelock, to reveal the most cheerful possible expression. “It’s a luxury I seldom allow myself.”
Last haircut: January. Next one: who knows? I may decide to splurge. My barber is, literally, right next door, so it isn’t as if I’ve forgotten.
Regards,
Ric
hf: Aha! Someone else who thinks Althouse is kinda hot. I’d definitely hit it.
Getting a haircut at a chain salon is like buying breakfast cereal. If you don’t use the coupon you’ll get skint.
I awakened one morning to the sound of the vacuum cleaner. Knowing that it wasn’t the cleaning lady’s day, I FLEW out of bed with the alarming thought it could only be my children using the vacuum cleaner (and any parent of young children KNOWS this is an audible signal of some child-created household catastrophe). Found my two boys vacuuming eachother’s heads as they had given one another haircuts. Safe, cheap, and your boys look um, well, interesting in an odd way.
Jeff – you need another child! Think of the savings! They’ll be happy to cut your hair and one another’s hair for FREE. Also, great male bonding experience. Win/win.
I got really good hair. Ask Bmoe.
Yup. I got a really good beard.
Wait, Jeff, you got a bad haircut and you then PAID for it?
What kind of outlaw are you?
Bmoe is hot.
