When I was out smoking dressed as Venom Snake 3 separate people approached me to say how cool/sexy I looked. Pretty sure it was mostly the scars and eyepatch, but good lil egoboost that day.

Only the ones with special culture. Everyone else has moved onto rebadged euro cars or overpriced, under featured Japanese 4x4s. Oh wait that is the top half of Straya.

That's your textbook definition of a mullet but they come in all flavors. He had to add the 80s flare of getting it permed. I believe as long as your hair is much longer in the back than compared to the sides and front than that classifies it as a mullet.

If we’re talking about mullets, don’t forget the pack of Winnie blues rolled in the AC/DC T-shirt sleeve.
