Mullets are shorter in the front and longer in the back than Kath's do had.

I think of a mullet as a hideous man's 'do worn by men that give trailer trash a bad name.
But I mean that in the best possible way.



You have such a way with words!

I probably spent way too much time in the serious Theo threads. That's a place you have to be creative in calling an 10d10t an 10d10t.

I've seen men with horseshoe balding do the long hair thing, but no one do something like it on purpose before.

I am wondering what you think about avatars. Does it shape your view of the person, and how you respond to them in a post. Do you pay attention to them? Do you find some offensive? Without pointing anyone out, what types avatars offend you? If some do actually offend you. I have a reason for asking. Thank You for thoughtful replies.


To answer you inquiry ....... yes, I do find some avatars offensive. And, yes, it does cause my opinion of the person to lower a level.

What types of avatars offend me? Crude ones and ones that imply that the poster is very egotistical.

Generally, I tend to ignore such people.

Hmm. Crude I can understand.

What kinds of avatars imply someone is egotistical? I'm not arguing your point, but I'm curious as to what such an avatar would look like.

If you don't want to post examples of handles here, I understand. You can PM them to me.

Mmmmm- You mean avatars declaring that said poster is going to take over the world?

*Wink*

I guess you'd have to know me well enough to know that I am joking around. Someone once asked if i was going to stop, or if I was going to have an army... forget the basketball team. I laughed and said that I'd always thought I could run the world better than those currently in charge so an army might not be a bad idea.

Sadly, God stopped at 6 children... BUT it is a good start and If I train them up to be good little dictators then who knows... someday just maybe...

^^^ LOL

How many kids do you have? I grew up in a family with seven. My sister and I were laughing about it recently ....... that was back before carseats and booster seats were required. Wow! We would have been driving around in a school bus like the Partridge Family!!
