Love it or hate it, you have to admit: A mullet hairstyle is distinctive

There are two kinds of people in this country, and forget that blue-state, red-state thing. You're either for a mullet or against a mullet.

What's a mullet? Do not mock us. Yes, a mullet is a spiny-finned, feeble-toothed fish, but we all know it's so much more. A mullet is a hairstyle characterized by the hair cut short in front and on the sides but kept long down the back.

It's not a cutting-edge style. But recently, the mullet has re-emerged as a pop culture object of praise and derision. There are "Fear the Mullet" and "Got Mullet?" T-shirts, mullet books, movies and TV shows, mullet contests, calendars, poetry and wigs and a disturbing number of mullet Web sites.

There is a growing body of mullet haiku, as there should be. One sample: .....

It's a free country, and people should be able to wear their hair any d**n way they want.

(sigh) When is the wheel going to stop on my number again? When is it going to be fashionable to look "normal" again? Oh well, I guess I'll remain a freak for now.

Pardon the typo; it was from the Baltimore Sun, not "Sune"...

And people should also be free to say that stoopid haircuts make regular people look like hideous perverts.

A combover is similarly "distinctive."

[Albion Wilde]

Looks like one of those bald heads in a plastic case with metal filings and the magnet wand 50s parents used to give the kids for long car trips....

MulletsGalore.com should disabuse most everybody of the idea that a Mullet is anything other than a bad thing....

[Albion Wilde]

Combovers -- hilarious! Just think, Donald Trump once had the combover AND the length in back!

Yeah, well, at least he is only lighting an external gas source. It could have been worse.

Very nice. One of my favorites is the ridiculous looking toupee. I do business with a guy that has natural red hair that wears a jet black toupee. Quite frankly, I can't even pay attention to what he's saying anymore because I keep waiting for that thing on top his head to get up on its hind legs and beg for a peanut.

The good ol' Kentucky Waterfall - business in front, party in the back.

[Albion Wilde]

That's worth a new keyword! Kittymullet! Not to be confused with canned fish....

[Dan from Michigan]

Bring back 70's hair!!!!!!

You should try bringing peanuts,

just to see what happens.

Hehehe. My bad ;-)

LOL! Yes, well I'm not sure I want to rouse the thing. It's somewhat scary.......smells of meat.

Hey! let's bring back '50's hair. I wore a waterfall in front, duck tails in back and the sides waxed and up like cat's ears in 1957.

However, when I saw the name of this I remembered that mullet is a fish that lives in brackish water so it is not very good to eat, but makes fine bait when fishing for bluefish on the N.C. Coast.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

I had never heard of a mullet hair cut.

We used the term mullet as a fish to sorry to keep.

We also used mullet as a person that were so lousy at pool that they were not worth the time to hustle for money.

I've seen some that could not have been more absurd if they'd had a chinstrap.

I loved it when Seinfeld called George's toupee "your little hat there." LOL

I witnessed a "fight" one time in which one guy commented on another's hair transplant job:
"Nice plugs. That looks about as natural as a cornfield in a hockey rink." You should have seen the look on his face. Had me rolling!
