    Thanks for the info Paul. I'm afraid I'm past the mullet stage on account of the fact that you need hair.

    Nah, Paul, she just likes the manly feel of a beard; I must admit, I rather like these new partial beards all the fellows are wearing lately.
    As for chinless: just think of Kenneth Branagh, he has no lips and he was considered a god...a 5 foot 4 inches of him.

    Taking into account the curmudgeonly age of some of our chaps, I'd like to know if any of you share with me the extremely annoying complaint of hyperprostatism - an elarged prostate gland? Medically known as benign prostate hyperplasia.

    Thanks to some self-study, I have come to the conclusion that asparagus is an irritant to elarged prostates and I want to try to figure if it's just mine, or if it does affect other blokes as well.

    I want to run an informal study, getting blokes with hyperprostatism to eat asparagus and take notes.

    If you don't feel like publicising your urinating habits, feel free to do it by PM!

    Asparagus should be outlawed, It tastes so devine and then rips apart you digestive system...God, did it blow out your uninary tract too...

    I didn't know the mullet got across the ocean.

    It's a hair style, marine cut on the top of the head and long hair in the back...look up some old pictures of Billy Ray Cyrus, the singer. In America, it was kind of considered the hair cut of people into country western

    Me too. There are very few ohotos of me anywhere at any age. Lots I've taken, though.

    That's what I was doing wrong!

    The "they" that claim that seem to be a load of alt-med scammers. I have yet to find any actual medical science that says anything about the green shoots.

    ...The godfather without the vineyards and car bombs...I actually think he looks a bit like Scott Fitzgerald.
    I had forgotten that description of the haircut...
    Happy, Happy Birthday...can I do a thread so everyone will bake a pretend cake and all the ladies will send you kisses (and perhaps, some of the more affectionate lads)

    Oh, I forgot to tell you; the secret to getting all the benefits of medical science is to do exactly the opposite of what they tell you...that's how I avoided catching syphilis when they were giving it in vaccines in the 40's (of course, it helped that I wasn't born yet and I was the wrong gender to join the army and the wrong ethnicity to get the vaccine)

    I think it's migratory route has taken it over eastern Europe by now. I certainly had one nesting on my head in the 80s. Soon they'll be back over the US looking for nother Billy - Ray.

    Sounds,
    I was about to suggest we keep it as our own little secret among the blokes, but I see the mullet's out of the pail.

    Haha (five laughing green smilies!)
    What I think is more interesting than the hair style itself, is how the term "mullet" was ascribed to it.

    I didn't know it was called a mullet on the girls too. The European mullet had a bit more wow than ours.

    Who let the cat out of the bag, anyway...Of course, you should let all the forum give you cards, hugs and kisses...
    I wonder why it was called a mullet?

    I always figured it was the tail.

    I can't say I've had a mullet at any stage, but I had a ponytail as recently as 2006.

    I just put up a picture of the fish; I don't see any resemblence; maybe it's the folks facial expressions when they're wearing them.

    I can see you in a ponytail!

    Not any more! My hair right now is about 1/2 an inch long.

    I change my style about every six months. It's bloody funny when I go from long hair, full beard to goatee and marine cut - even friends stare at me and think "Where do I know you from?"
