Obviously, this hairdo has the purpose of signalling "Don't even THINK of messing with me", or something like that.
Choose the one that's right for you!

Disc_20Grip The problem with Malcom Gladwell is that his mushrooming hair has no STALK. [Vernon, Jun 09 2005]

Nah, I'm not usually upset with the world. And my hair is basically brown. I prefer a mad scientist's style. |
|
|
Meanwhile, redheads are stereotypically tempermentally explosive, so I think the mushroom cloud hair style is just perfect for them. {Rephrasing due to comments below:} Meanwhile, redheads are stereotyped as tempermentally explosive, so certainly for the stereotype I think the mushroom cloud hair style is just perfect. |

|
I think po is referring to a catchphrase. 'Toughest game in the world' never covered posting to the halfbakery, did it po? |
|
|
ha, neither did an obscurity contest. |
|
|
Certainly, if you were being followed by a cloud of mushrooms. |
|
|
Come on now, what have you done with the *real* [Vernon]? |
|
|
The real [Vernon] has hired a temporary [Vernon] to keep his presence alive on the hb while the real [Vernon] works on his Grand Unified Idea. The GUI will incorporate all of his other ideas into a cogent mega-idea that makes sense but scrolls down through 263 screens of text. |
|
|
hired? I consider it more likely that he has built a robotic [Vernon] that has no regard for idea length. |
|
|
In which case Ian, this idea is obviously [Vernon] getting very close. |
|
|
Another type of mushroom cloud: A puffball that has been hit by a golf club.
Yes, I did it in a wacky moment. A hint: don't even think about doing it. |
|
|
How would you keep the cute little ring in place? |
|
|
Excuse me! Where does it say that redheads are more tempermentally explosive???? |
|
|
And if so why would I want a MUSHROOM ON MY HEAD??!!
|
|
|
<grumbling> its flat all over and still gives me a bad hairday allmost always. Who needs a perm for that?> |
|
|
//redheads are stereotypically tempermentally explosive,//
It says so right there in [Vernons] annotation and I know one tiny little girl who fits the description, [Susan]. |
|
|
<blushing> oh, you mean our daughter <blushing> |
|
|
Sorry, no explosive temperment here. 'Fraid you'll have to peddle your stereotypes elsewhere. |
|
|
Having red hair with a bit of wave and a lot of body, I have it cut specifically to avoid this sort of look. If I lived in a humid climate, I'd look that way regardless. |
|
|
Well, I did try to say it was the stereotype that was explosive. And while I did say that redheads are stereotyped, I didn't say outright that all redheads actually fit the stereotype. OK? |
|
|
I hope I haven't set you of on the wrong foot [half] and [Vernon] for me the stereotype does comply. I was being stereotype in my anno's. |
|
|
<no actual redhead was injured or hurt in anyway while reading this idea> |
|
|
Yeah, [Susan], I sorta got that. :) No worries, I was just weighing in. No need to justify yourself, [Vernon]. I wasn't offended or intending to offend. |
|
|
I thought "this is going to be about food". Nope. I must just be hungry. |
|
|
Actually, I have a bit of a thing for redheads. |
|
|
<Imagines stand-off between two red-heads, resulting in Mutually Assured Tonsure> |
|
|
Malcom Gladwell (see link) has been working on this kind of hair. |
|
|
I put that bomb link in my favorites folder labeled "FUN". |
|
|
<Hobbles over to piecemeal creature, diodes in hand> |
|
|
I was thinking "light" mushroom cloud, [Pa`ve]. Imagine a soufflé or quiche, and round and dimpled like a big fritter; shaped like a thought balloon. Mm mm. BAM! |
|
|
This is too short to be a Vernon. Who are you and what have you done with his hair? |
|
|
[reensure], [UnaBubba], others, this Idea was posted in a Fashion subcategory. If it had been about food, I think I might have managed to post it in that area instead. |
|
|
[wagster], [pa've], regarding GUI, there IS a way to do that, and I've toyed with the notion for a few years. It would be an actual book (I've done enough postings to fill one), but I dunno who would buy it.... |
|
|
Fine. Get in an arms race if you rather. |
