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!

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. |
