The World's Longest Mullet Is Real and It's Spectacular - Neatorama

The saga of Tami Manis of Knoxville, Tennessee and her glorious mullet began in the 1980s, when she encountered the work of the be-mulleted Aimee Mann of the band 'Til Tuesday. The video for "Voices Carry" inspired Manis to cultivate her own mullet. She grew her mullet gradually. Then, on February 9, 1990, stopped cutting it altogether.

Guinness World Records announced that Tami Manis has the "longest competitive mullet (female)" in the entire world.

(I'll assume that the gender designation refers to Manis, not her mullet.)

Her mullet stretches 5 feet and 8 inches long. This exceeds her own height, so Manis often keeps the mullet braided. Maintenance takes a lot of work, but with great mullet comes great responsibility.

It's real and it's spectacular. No, it's not.

I'll bet she's the talk of the trailer park!

When we get new tenants at the apartment complex who are problematic - drinking, smoking, fighting, breaking all the rules etc - typically you can hear Baby It's Cold Outside coming though the walls.

One of my favorites. The Dean Martin version is by far the best. Menzel/Buble have the best alternative take.

Also, despite it's reputation, it's very unifying. . .

Regardless of original intentions, yeah, I've always found this song really, really cringe. Long before it became widely controversial, but for all the same reasons.

I would like to thank Slay Belle for the context relevant interpretation of the song. It shows an effenct that the way one and the same thing is interpeted in a different context / time. Just imagine how the meaning of even older texts may have percieved / interpreted in a different manner.

It's odd to listen to old favorite songs and realize that they're really disturbing. I recently listened to Matthew Sweet's "I've Been Waiting", which was one of my favorite songs when I was a teenager. Now I realize that it's about a man who is waiting until a young girl becomes old enough to consent to sex.

I am waiting for Happy Birthday to You to be banned for the word “dear.”

I feel like I sing the Birthday song wrong sometimes. Like sometimes I say "Happy Birthday TO ___" instead of "Happy Birthday Dear ____"

OMG! I think that's one of the nicest things anyone's ever done for me. Thank you. It means a lot since I just got out of the hospital this morning. I hope all of you at Neatorama have a truly blessed holiday season and may 2022 be so much better for us all.
