Saturday evening high and tight links

Peak flat top?

So a discussion took place, and somehow got into the flat top hair cut, and who did it best. Guile up there got a vote or two.

“He and I used to make fun of older Officers/NCOs that were rocking a flat top.

We had a scale based on a number of factors:
– Skull shape
– Flatness
– Crispiness of the fade
– Level of commitment to the flat top in spite of clearly going bald.”

 

We have found a use for Polly Shore.

 

 

 

“Hey guys! I know how to bury the story!”

 

 

If your war boner lasts longer than four years…

 

Not exactly a flat top, but damn.

 

I mean no, there is no actual disease, but we need the world to stay afraid.

 

Okay, pretty lame week for news. Time to go watch Division playoffs.

Keep it high and tight, Glibbies.

      The only potentially useful treaty would be one banning modifying virii and germs, with strict penalties for not adhering to the ban.

        some are concerned about what the 187-year-old publication could become

    The flat top is a classic. I used to rock it. Now I just have Eraserhead hair.

    • Mojeaux

      Wore my hair down the other day, which I never do, and got compliments galore. I’m rethinking my self-hatred.

      • hayeksplosives

        Yeah, let that self hatred crap go.

        Put it on a carefully hand-crafted natural wood reed mat, to give you plenty of time to invest a comforting repetitive task.

        Then place the self hatred on the mat and push it gently off shore and into the water.

        Once itโ€™s moved away from you, pick up your grenade launcher and unleash hell on that parasitic piece of shit. Kill it with fire and RPGs.

        It’s almost down to my waist. I need to start braiding it in true boho/kitchen witch/hippydippy/forest crone manner instead of a bun.

        Still getting used to being a blonde instead of a ginger. Strawberry + white = blonde

        If you lived closer, I’d be begging you to let me photograph you in my studio.โ€‚Your hubster could even come along as an escort.โ€‚Er, in the, uhm . . . non-“economic” sense of “escort.”โ€‚โ€‚;-)

    The war-boner link just gives me a blank page ๐Ÿ™

      • The Hyperbole

        Still blank for me, could be due to me using chrome (shruggy punctuation thing).

    • R.J.

      It works. Goes to an Express UK article about WWIII.

    • The Hyperbole

      Same, I even went to the sites main page and clicked through their link and got the blank page.

      • R.J.

        YOU ARE BANNED!

    Way, way back in time , ’40s, the flat top or crew cut was called a Heinie, as were the German soldiers. As we played war one did not want to be a Heinie or a kraut or a Nip but alas, someone had to be. As I was the youngest kid in the family that was most often me.

    Going to the barbershop a kid asked for a Heinie, the barber knew the style. I had a crew cut for many years in the army and finally let it grow just a tad longer. White sidewalls came with the territory. There was (maybe still is) a pomade called Crew Cut.

    • Don escaped Texas

      pomade

      these guys don’t know shit from Shinola

      I’d have taken you for a Dapper Dan man.

      • Don escaped Texas

        I remember Brylcreem and Vitalis

        but have no idea who made the tube of schmaltz we could afford for me back during Nixon

        Now I get a summer or winter style, summer is short and cool, winter is short so my cap will fit.

      • rhywun

        Awesome.

      • R.J.

        Thatโ€™s Gay, dude.

        “We’re in a tight spot!”

        It’s always a tight spot with Dapper Dan.

    • rhywun

      Shouldn’t Heinies be the Dutch?

    • Gustave Lytton

      I got a high and tight for years til my wife told me I wasn’t in the army anymore and I needed to let it out a little more. Recently got a high fade with whitewalls and she actually liked it better. And I’m happy to finally not look like a damn dirty hippy.

  8. The Late P Brooks

    A local buyer taking over a struggling newspaper in the 21st century is normally cause for some celebration. But The Baltimore Sunโ€™s newly announced owner has a very specific political background, and some are concerned about what the 187-year-old publication could become.

    The illiterate boob who wrote that story apparently never heard of H L Mencken.

    • juris imprudent

      Poor thing would have an aneurysm if actually exposed to Mencken’s writing.

      • R.J.

        Go on..

    Fox has a paywall now?

    • Fourscore

    • Spudalicious

      You can defeat it with reader view.

    • Ted S.

      I thought it was just a register wall.

      Nuthin’ like a good Beef Bourgie.

    • juris imprudent

      Gnocci, portobello mushrooms, asparagus and diced pancetta was dinner tonight. I haven’t done a bourguignon in too long now.

      • Don escaped Texas

        best gnocci

        looks like they moved out of the broken down digs: shame, I prefer the dive ambiance

    • pistoffnick

      We are making beef tips tomorrow:

      2-3 lbs. chuck roast, cut into 1.5″ cubes

      1 packet beefy onion soup mix
      1 can cream of mushroom soup
      1 can of water/ beef broth

      After 3 hours, enjoy the beefiest stew you have ever had.

      • Ted S.

        Just the tips?

      • pistoffnick

        Just the tip(s)!

      Beef tenderloin, with roasted carrots and onions and steak fries. Not bad for a single dad.

    Used to, years ago, work for a guy named Raymond, who insisted that everybody call him Bruce who sported the flat top. He was one dumb motherfucker.

  14. Evan from Evansville

    Folk be watchin’ football and I as well. I don’t know what to say here. Lots of things going well, despite being unpleasant realities to live with. (ESL teacher for 12 years. Now– Glorified Babysitter. Admin conflict with progress at Outpatient. Important stepping stones are challenging for a reason. Just life. No sarc, I ain’t shook.)

    My hopeful lovely roommate (or more….?) in MN would be a fantastic peer anchor. She is desirous as well, as I can offer something her adoptive parents/siblings don’t. (Her environment is remarkably toxic). My parents have offered her a round-trip ticket from MSP. She’s receptive. So am I. I know better than to push.)

    Ev is a silly goose. I am a good human to everyone but myself. (Which has frequently made me bad for others.) Sorry for venting. Y’all keep me sane. I keep trying to get her to come here… She wants to go further into paralegal. Coming back to the US after a decade+ away is difficult. New obstacles and adventures are always exciting (in their own way).

    Yโ€™all keep me sane.

    I try not to think about what I’d do if I didn’t have this place to check in on

    • Evan from Evansville

      It would be devastating. Other than (hopefully new) Lady, whom I don’t get to speak to every day, this is the only sanity I find.

      Hard to describe the ethereal release y’all bring. (I won’t (really) try.)

      It’s like back in the day – no major online service picked it up so there are three competing fansubs. Sadly it looks like my least favorite of the three is going to win and continue the subs. The dialect is hysterical – it’s Kyushu-ben. According to my friend it’s considered very cute sounding for women.

    The Sinclair-owned Fox station in Baltimore frequently airs coverage blaming the cityโ€™s Democratic mayor, Brandon Scott, for gun violence and failing schools.

    Wow, how terrible. The mayor should have the station shut down for spreading such dangerous misinformation.

    • rhywun

      To be fair, both of those things are beyond the control of any mayor. And an honest review would raise questions that nobody wants raised.
