Peace in Mulletville

I thought I could make a contribution toward "peace on earth, goodwill to men" by trying to resolve the mullet controversy that has been swirling around the family for some time now, specifically regarding Rob's genre-challenging coiffure. I have consulted the authoritative mullet website, www.mulletjunky.com (not for the faint-of-heart), which provides this handy visual reference guide to mulletdom:



Additional information on mullet history and culture is available on Wikipedia's mullet entry.

From mulletjunky.com, I offer the following lineup. Does one of the mullet suspects walk away exonerated? Keep in mind that it's Christmas, season of charity!

I tell you truly, a TRUE mullet must have the element of intention. Also, there was never hair gel in my past (never inhaled), curling or spiking as is so obvious in these photo examples. I never recall a single comment during the 80s that I was sporting a mullet, when comments on my hairstyle seemed to revolve around me looking like Hermey, the elf in famed 1964 Rankin-Bass production of "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" who wanted to be a dentist. The "M Word" was ne'er mentioned until 2003 when one Lisa Eddy, looking to avenge her husband for being accused of wearing a belt older than I, started this ugly rumor in the kitchen of Myrtle Drive. It was subsequently propagated by coniving nieces and urbanite representative of the family, Sister-in-law Jamie, all three of whom were motivated by jealousy over my legs.
