That's what I was thinking this morning on my way to WonderCuts.

YIKES! What did I do?? It wasn't until I got done washing all the little stray hairs off at home that I started asking these questions. Now I'm the proud owner of a bad haircut! It's sticking up everywhere and I can't make it stay down. It's too short to make it do anything. ::Sigh::
Time to break out the hat collection. I won't be picking up any ladies this weekend...none with any taste anyway.

OK, so it's not that bigga deal. It'll grow back, and I'm not that worried about what the fuzz on my head is doing. Just kinda gives a guy a case of a blues, ya know?

It being Friday, (TGIF! BTW) me being out of class, and a bad haircut bringing me down, I'm consoling myself with a beer (don't worry guys, it's after noon here in Shreveport) of the Black & Tan variety and a bowl of Orlik Golden Sliced in a basket billiard.

So guys, any bad haircut stories? Moms ever try to cut your hair themselves when you were little? Mine did. Someone tell me a horrible story so I will feel better, lol. Cheerio,

Bad haircuts? Oh, man! Better sit down, this may take awhile.

I've been going to the same barber for over 30 years, about two or three times a year, so ol' Kent isn't getting rich off me. Anyway, one year near Thanksgiving, I decided to get a shearing. When I got to the shop, the parking lot was full, so I traveled on. I figured, since there was nothing fancy involved, nearly any barber should be able to give me a trim, so I went to a different barber.

I should have noticed a few warning signs: velvet paintings of Elvis on the walls and the barber and every guy leaving had the same haircut, but I was blissfully oblivious. The barber gave me the nod and I climbed in the chair. I told him I wanted it fairly short on the sides and a bit longer on top and he indicate that he understood.

When he got finished, I looked at myself in the mirror and, yes, I had a genuine pompadour complete with oil and lube. I was about to have dying duck (tail) fits, but I suddenly realized that this was probably the only haircut the barber knew how to do, except maybe for a GI. So, I paid him and left, figuring I could wash out the oil and get the top trimmed and it would be acceptable in a week or two.

So I had to get another haircut to fix the first one. Lesson learned.
