Okay, I did not have a camera so I will have to describe it well enough that you will get a good mental picture.

This mullet started from the front as a Mohawk. As the Mohawk moved to the rear of the head it spread into a feathered ape-drape down the back of the neck. Probably about 6 or 7 inches. This mullet did not display any 'camaro' type tendencies. It was rather calm and non-threatening. If you have seen this mullet or have an idea of the classification, please post it here. Thank you.

For those not 'in the know':

From Wikipedia - The mullet became popular in the 1970s, but was known to have been worn long before then. Urban legends have it dating back to 19th Century fishermen with long hair in back to keep them warm, hence the term "mullet". The term was also referenced in the 1967 film Cool Hand Luke, starring Paul Newman and George Kennedy, in which Kennedy's character refers to Southern men with long hair as "Mulletheads."

An article Mike D wrote for issue 2 of the Beastie Boys' magazine, Grand Royal in 1995, proved to be a turning point in the history of the hairstyle. The article started "There's nothing quite as bad as a bad haircut. And perhaps the worst of all is the cut we call The Mullet", and went on to lampoon the hairstyle over several pages, including many photographs of celebrities sporting this hair style. Soon after the article was published, it became popular for fans of the band, and in youth culture generally, to mock the hairstyle, which gradually led over a few years to it being almost universally ridiculed.

Synonyms

The mullet goes by various nicknames, including Ape Drape, Camaro Cut, Shlong (Short-Long), Sfelby (Short Front, Long Back), Mississippi Mudflap, Hockey Hair, Femullet (woman's variety), ten-ninety, Tennessee Tophat and Kentucky Waterfall, Neck Warmer, Canadian Passport and Coupe Longueuil (Quebec French term meaning Longueuil-haircut). The popular phrase "Business in the front, party in the back" describes the look of the mullet; Mike D of the Beastie Boys is purported to have coined this word usage

Could it have been the mayor in costume for a Civil War re-enactment?

Hey Buck - is this what you would look like with a mullet???

[Scalewoodman]

Recently in 'Slower Lower Delaware' I saw a father and his young son (maybe 4-ish) both strolling along in matching mullets. Mom, probably a hairdresser made her two little boys look the same! A Norman Rockwell moment for sure.

No. But I do have a mesh tank top like that I wear for special occasions.

The forgotten mullet - the skullet

Don't forget the thrill of the hunt. Here's some techniques for a successful mullet hunt.

I prefer the bait or direct method. If the mullet says no, just walk away. They're kinda like road kill. Another one will come along soon. They also tend to smell about the same, depending on the time of day.

That's really hot! No wonder you have both a wife and a girlfriend(s). Heed your own signature line.

ALERT! A SECOND SIGHTING HAS OCCURED!

I just saw the mohawk-mulletard downtown. He appeared to be rushed and in a hurry so I did not get a full look. Again, no camera. As he walked away in a lumbering gaite and before disappearing into the crowd of people, he did glance over his shoulder at me showing surprisingly human-like facial features.

Buck, let's not have any more "no camera" excuses. This is serious. Did you really see a "mohawk-mulletard" or are you just making it up to seem more important? You've pulled the "no camera" excuse twice now. "Surprisingly human-like features" indeed. I don't believe it. Serious mullet hunters need to know.

Maybe we need a reward for the first pictures??

[Becky]

Maybe we need a reward for the first pictures?? 

Absolutely. Is Buck telling tales or does this "mohawk-mulletard" really exist? We need pictures. Perhaps the reward could be a quality haircut at the Hair Cuttery?

Can't believe no one has posted this yet:

Perhaps you might find the mohawk prototype here

If you go to this website, be sure to look for the wild mullet wedding... a series of pictures you will NOT want to miss. I think the bride must have been a stripper...
