Red, White, And Boom! And Mullets.
- July 8th, 2008 2:11 am
You know, I’m all about celebrating the 4th of July. Truly, I am.
It’s not the that I’m unpatriotic. I’ve got spirit; that’s for damn sure. While I’m no where as patriotic as my friend Allison, who admittedly has to pull her car over sometimes because she gets so into singing ‘Proud to be an American’ when it comes on the radio, I am happy to celebrate.
But there’s the thing: I am not happy that almost four days after the 4th my neighbors are still lighting fireworks off late at night. Will it ever end?
As far as holidays go, I was rather bummed this weekend. I expected to take my camera to my family reunion picnic and capture pictures of my Uncle’s mullet for you. I took the camera, but much to my dismay, he had his mullet cut off. Ironically, when he finally had to quit wearing his house arrest anklet, he also decide to rid himself of his mullet and start all over. No more house arrest anklet, no more mullet. The loss of both elements made me rather sad.
I didn’t realize that no longer being incarcerated in your own house would lead to a life changing haircut. He has, after all, had the mullet for as long as I have known him. It’s almost a tragedy considering the mullet was sort of like an extra family member. A cousin, if you will.
Sadly, he let me down. I was counting on that mullet. I had a whole post revolving around the fact that it looks permed due to his natural curly hair.
What is better than a permed mullet?
Nothing, I tell you. Nothing.
In other tragically boring news, my husband once again almost blew himself up lighting the grill. It seared off a great portion of the hair on his arm, and his arm still stinks of burned hair (two showers later).
Since I’ve laughed at both the expense of my husband along with my recently freed and mulletless uncle, I will now allow everyone to laugh at this scanned and grainy photo of my husband and I back in the day.
That, folks, is love at its best. And also, the most unattractive picture of me on this planet.

I’m mourning the loss of the mullet with you.
RIP, mullet.
We have fire issues ’round here too, except our problem is we can’t get one going! We’re camping losers.

I think you should send stink bombs over to your neighbours with a note saying something about fireworks time being DONE.

Mullets are like clowns…better off dead.
I totally hear ya on the neverending fireworks…except from another countries perspective. All the years I lived in the UK with the hubs I never got used to all the madness surrounding Guy Fawkes and Bonfire Night. For two weeks up to the 5th of November and several days after it’s neverending booms and blasts and shrill whistles. Don’t get me wrong, Bonfire Night is freaking awesome, but it just gets to be too much after nearly THREE WEEKS!
I guess though, being that the little imp is a dual citizen, both UK and US, we’ll be spending a couple of November’s over there as Daddy says she needs to fully experience that part of her heritage. I think I’m going to buy stock in a good earplug company!

I think my hubby burns off his facial hair about once every two years. Although I am always terrified at first, because I’m afraid he’s going to be seriously hurt, it only takes a few minutes before I’m mocking the hell out of him.

I love a good mullet! and the confidence that those who still sport them must have!

Although, I must say that I’m happy the mullet is gone. I see far too many of them out here, along with the she-mullet (woman version), and I CAN’T STAND them! Ew!
That picture is cute, by the way. :0)

Very funny. We must live close to eachother because I hear fireworks in the distance nightly and it time for them to end…. Until next year
I am sorry for your loss as to many in this fine country of ours Mulletts are as American as Hot Dogs and Apple Pie…

So where are the cops? Enough is enough. Even in States where that’s legal, disturbing the peace is not. And four days of fireworks is exactly that – disturbing the peace. Call the cops -or- go to the Army Surplus store and buy a bazooka and let your neighbors see you carry it into the house.

That picture is hilarious! I too am so over the fireworks at this point. I’m starting to feel like the mean old lady on the block because I yell at the kids (and their parents) for continuing with the fireworks this long after the big day. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some fireworks and a sparkler can be fun, but roman candles four days later? No.
And I think mullets are making a comeback. You wait, it’s going to happen.

My first visit here and I’m treated to a good hearty laugh. You are quite funny, Miss Sassy, and I’m glad I discovered you. Oh, how egocentric did THAT sound?
Thanks for commenting about BlogHus, which was a brainchild of a brain-dead blogger whose head is full of smoke. No more fireworks, PLEASE, people! A house in my town burned down yesterday from fireworks, so I hear!

Hey, I’ll bet you some of those guys pictured could shut your neighbors and their unending fireworks up reeeeeally fast!

That’s really too bad about the mullet. The only thing that makes our family gatherings bearable is the opportunity for my brother and me to mock my uncle’s. It’s Texas, you know…the mullets are pretty abundant around here.

I’ve got something that’s *almost* as good as a permed mullet. Matching his-and-hers perms. There is a couple at my church with the.exact.same.hairdo. Or hairdon’t in their case.

I really wanted to see that mullet! Fireworks are getting ridiculous. Luckily our neighborhood only shot them off for one or two nights after the 4th. WE’ve been firecracker free for a few days now.

My hair tends to grow faster on top than it does in the back, so I call it a reverse-mullet. It doesn’t look nearly as sexy as it sounds.

After this past week I so needed a laugh – thanks
I couldn’t believe it when I saw this post tonight. Do you live across the street? The people on the street over must own a fireworks stand or something. I think it’s them, even if it’s not I’ll blame them for it ’cause they have a pool and that pisses me off.
BTW – thought you looked…. sassy… in the pic (new term for really cute chick making crazy face).
