Very Important Day In History

Not deliberately.   

can I borrow that line

[Russ T Chambers]

When I was a kid my Mom would crop me into a flattop every Summer.  I could let it grow out in the Winter to keep warm.   

[Lucky Irish Tom]

Mine was kept in a crewcut up until I left home for my first year of college.  I let it grow out in college and when I came home my Dad met me at the door with haircut money n said, "The barber's right down the street, you can come home when you look decent."  College and I didn't agree so the Navy made sure my hair was short for the next six years after that.

In 1972 I had shaved my head on April 1 and continued to do so until about July 30.
I was to be married on August 26 an' thought I would let my hair grow out before the wedding.

My dad got to my house on Aug 23 handed me $5 and told me to get a trim cuz I looked "shaggy."

I think that's the thing, our Dad's believed in short hair,  mine always had a burr, long as I could remember, I had a burr till the flattop came along, then had one of those till a Freshman in High School,  my Dad was just shocked at the length of the Beatles hair,  but you look at pictures today, it wasn't that long,  it was just different than we were used to. had sideburns when I was a Senior in High School, had to go to the Principle's office, he told me I needed to keep them above the middle of my ears and the hair couldn't touch your collar.  1969

I don't have to worry about hair of any length, thanks to male-pattern baldness.  The hair that is left is mostly grey with some reddish brown. I just wear a cap or a western hat a lot.

[Leo Tanner]

Gonna haveta bust out the pitchers.

[Ozark Tracker]

here's one at 10 or 11 had the burr then 

the next one is High School Graduation Picture,  after shaving off the sideburns,  they were at the bottom of the ear.

[Ozark Tracker]

This one is durin the flattop phase.

[Leo Tanner]

Weren't that haircut in the second pitchure called a whiffle?
I remember them little hondas in the third one, kinda looked like BSAs

I don't have to worry about hair of any length, thanks to male-pattern baldness.  The hair that is left is mostly grey with some reddish brown.

Thanks to my Choctaw blood my hair turned gray instead of turning loose.  I'll be 63 in June, and the corners of my forehead are beginning to recede a bit.  I've lost my widow's peak, too.

[Leo Tanner]

This did not scan well but here goes...

[Leo Tanner]

It had grown out a little an I look like a friggin Q-Tip

[Texas Lawdog]

A Q-tip with hair, Leo.

[Leo Tanner]

That haircut did not go over well in auto shop.

[Texas Lawdog]

Leo, That long hair could get caught in the fan belt or fan blade.

[Leo Tanner]

Oh Man, we had one a them independant ignition set ups ta bench test motors.  One smart ass thought it was fun ta walk around with a spark plug lead an zap people.  One day he was standin there laughin an held the wire down by the button fly on his 501s.  Spark jumped an nailed him in the worst place ever.  Talk about Karma.  HIs name was Steve Sprauge, I'll never fergit it.

[Texas Lawdog]

Leo, That's what you call a LARGE CHARGE!

[Leo Tanner]

He hit the floor like a ton of bricks.  We had er cranked up ta 50K.  I doubt he was ever able ta have children.
