Keep on Truckin'
FOUND by Mary Jac
in Tuscaloosa, AL
I found this guy lying on the stairs of a semi-fancy local restaurant. He hangs out in my wallet and when I am asked who he is, of course I say "He's my boyfriend."

Cute!
whoa...! That's funny! I have this same photo in my wallet, and when people ask, of course I say "She's my girlfriend." Trippy!
Kermit, hahahaha!
By the way, is that a mullet? And by the way, where did that term "mullet" come from?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
yes that is most definitely a mullet. though strangely enough this guy kinda pulls it off. don't get my wrong i don't think anyone should rock a mullet but i can't imagine this guy with any other cut.
That is a mullet baby! Business in front and party in the back...HOOOOT
The other day, one of my aunts told my mom she didn't know what a mullet was. When my mom told me this, it blew my mind. Especially considering we're New Jersey White Trash. I think people sometimes mistake our family picnics for mullet conventions. I guess I'll have to show her this picture next time I see her.
Also, my dad has a skullet, since he's totally bald for about half his head but insists on trying to have long hair anyway.
Wow. Good thing I did not see this photo back when it was taken. It would have inspired me to make my very own sponge-painted flag T-shirt. Then there'd be pictures of me wearing it and I'd be all embarrassed that I'd even worn that thing.
I agree, he's a cutie!
@Phoebe Muse -- hahaha, I hadn't heard it described it that way before! Hilarious! This past week, I saw a guy with a mullet on the Metro (in DC.) Is this a style guys really think look good?? I like mohawks better.
You know, America is the only country that puts its flag on any flat surface. And uses the national adjective like a talisman: "The American people." Or the American Way of Life. I'm not being judgenmental, I'm just making the observation. Not even the French do this anymore...in fact, in films etc calling someone "un bon français" is tantamount to calling them a hardline reactionary.
Having said that, I like the stipple effect of the colours. I don't think this was a home-made job...it looks factory made. America is also the only country I've ever met that makes quilt material of the stars and stripes...yes the British put the Union Jack on things, but as a motif, not an all-over pattern.
I could be wrong, and I'm sure someone here will tell me I am.
aracter's name was Wyatt, but almost no one remembers that. Everyone remembers him as Captain America, which is what the Dennis Hopper character ("Billy") called him. Jack Nicho
Farmer! What the hell! Stop spamming the wall! It's stopped being amusing now.
He looks feminine. I don't think he's a cutie. That's a rapist smile right there. He reminds me of the film, 'Valentine' - he was rejected at all the high school dances, and grew up to be a woman-hater and now goes around baiting them. Or maybe that's just my sick mind. But, seriously, this photo scares me.
y then, though, his style was out of fashion. He became bitter & had to resort to using old photos of himself to lure in unwary young gir
i thought it was a girl. Don't you think he/she looks like Ellen Degeneres?
Farmer, i think its still amusing.
Ok..this photo should be submitted to Maury for his entertaining "Is it a man..or a woman?" episodes AND to www.mullet.com.
Thanks spider....I've been wanting to say that for weeks now, but not being a regular poster I didn't feel worthy.
Having once had a mullet myself, this guy's rockin' it! Can't you just picture Poison or Bon Jovi playing in the background?
We should all be so happy with our hairstyles...
Well, this one sure kicked my memory into overdrive. Waaaaay back, when I was just out of high school, there was this girl who worked as a pizza cook at the restaurant where I waitressed. She was quiet, kind of shy, and she looked enough like this guy to be his twin sister.
Now this was way back there when "gay" still meant "light-hearted and carefree." So I was somewhat shocked to find out that she & another waitress were a couple, the first lesbians I'd ever met .
What always cracked all of us up, though, was when a group of teenage girls would come in for a pizza and flirt like crazy with the cook, never realizing that the shy guy behind the counter was actually a chick.
I definitely hear Aerosmith rocking in the background of this find. Dude looks like a lady....Thanks for the memory, Found.
This is Sarah Connor's school photo from her junior year in high school. (back in her pre-Terminator days) Looked sweet, but could still kick butt.
(that Adam's apple shadow on her throat isn't really there; just ignore it)
This guy looks like Shaun Cassidy BEFORE the TV sylists got to him! So sweet!
Kind of threw up in my mouth, just a little.
I'm sure this guy was popular, at least he has a nice smile.
Flippin' sweet! I wonder if he hangs out with Joe Dirt?
Spider: you not getting a joke doesn't make it spam.
Farmer: Keep it up. You crack me up every time.
I bet this guy's pants have no holes in them whatsoever.
It's just too bad that Shaun here lost his left arm in that tragic break dancing accident. We were, like, in the parking lot after the game, and Heather had just, like, told him and told him that he shouldn't try that arm spin move on the back of Bucky's car ... not while it was moving. So anyway he fell.
Then those nasty boys from the other high school - IF they were still IN high school and hadn't been expelled - went and ran over him with their icky pickup truck. Gross!
Shaun was so sweet about it though. He's a really great guy. Us girls on the cheer squad kind of adopted him when he came back to school. And, jeepers, who knew a boy needed so much help doing, um, things when he only has one arm.
Anyway, Shaun's our hero. I just wanted to tell y'all that. Bye!
It was the happiest day of his life, the day he had his school photo taken. He ran home through the streets of Tuscaloosa, because he knew his father had a surprise waiting for him. "Son," his dear old pappy said, "I'm too old now to carry on the family business. I want you to take over as the best pest controller in town." The boy was thrilled, he knew now he was entering the big leagues, and the national vermin control company he always wanted was just a short step away. And with this, he took his school photo and went to see his girlfriend, Mary Jac. "I'll be leaving soon" he said, "to give myself and my family a better life. Have this photo to remember me" and then he left. Mary Jac tried her best to hold back the tears, as the boy looked over his shoulder, winked, and said "Keep on Truckin'"
Running...being from Texas I have a whole lot of experience with mullets the only thing worse is a rat tail. I just wanna take my own scissors and cut it of..bleeech
hahaha, he looks cute.
(farmer i think you're funny)
Aaah...this looks just like the guy i had a *huge* crush on in the early nineties. And he looked so dreamy....I'm sure he listened to heavy metal music with the rest of us.
He's cross eyed, right? I kinda get this weird feeling when I look into his eyes...
That's terrible for me to say, I should not be making fun of him, I know this. But I can't just..NOT..make some kind of comment...
What makes me laugh though is that he woke up that morning most likely knowing he had pictures that day. Looked in the mirror before he left, probably popped himself a thumbs up in the mirror and said "Thats it! I am ready for class pictures!!"
I'm in Tuscaloosa and i don't think anyone ever runs through the streets here. They drive. Ok, occasionally someone runs, but not the Shawns.
Farmer, I love your comments. They're original, fascinating, and amusing, in content and format. Every time I see one, I get a mental image of someone walking past my computer on the other side, passing behind my monitor*, and for just the few seconds that they're crossing past the area that my screen blocks, it's like I can see their thoughts or conversations typed out across the screen, the way the airport security people see the contents of peoples' bags scroll past their eyes when the bags go through the scanner.
Sometimes I'm lucky and get an entire thought, but most of the time I'm left trying to fill in the blanks and use my imagination. And it's really amazing how much nuance and atmosphere you manage to fit into just a few free-floating words. Sometimes the snippets, even though they might not actually SAY anything, really hit me in the gut, or make me grin. I'm really impressed.
It's hard to describe, but I am really enjoying them and I know many others are too, so PLEASE don't let people (perhaps just one person?) ruin the fun. It's rare that someone comes up with something unique - I'd rather read a thousand of your "disconnected thought" comments than have to see one more pathetic "first!" one, or the "OMG he's got a mullet!" captain-obvious type comments (using this picture as the example).
I used to check Found once a week or so, but since Farmer started the free-falling thoughts, I've gone ahead and added Found to my "daily visits" list, and check the comments two or three times a day to see if there are any new ones. (So hey Found Gods, Farmer's helping to drive traffic for y'all!)
And, finally, Spider: It's not spam. If you don't appreciate it, just ignore it. It's not like he's sending them to your inbox all day (is he?), so just tune him out and let the rest of us enjoy an original and entertaining approach.
*Which would be hard to do because my desk is up against a wall, but hopefully you know what I mean.
.... Paw?
Mullet = Kentucky Tophat.. The West Virginia Waterfall.. The Sho- Lo. He looks like Tom Cruise's retarded brother.
I thought it was a Tennessee Top Hat. And let's not forget the Hockey Helmet or the Canadian Passport. And for the ladies there's the fe-mullet.
I'm pretty sure it's my ex husband's sister. The resemblance is UNCANNY.
At any rate, my neurologist would likely tell this person that they have "a little bit a da crosseye!"
When the fuck did this turn into pointlessargumentsaboutfarmerscomments.com?
You know how babies get a huge kick out of throwing something on the floor and watching someone pick it up over and over, all the while telling them to stop doing it? Yeah...
Origin of the mullet:
parent - "You're NOT growing your hair down over your ears, young man! You will NOT go out of the house looking like a hippie."
kid - "Can I get that in writing?"
parent - "Okay, smart aleck, sign this contract."
kid - (to self) 'Cool! He didn't put anything in here about over the collar!!'
That farmer shit is old. Once i see his name I skip it. Oh i get it, but it is stupid and not even mildly funny. I bet he calls himself "quirky". There's your basic annoying eccentric asshole.
I don't think he's cross-eyed - He's either a speed freak or got a case of lock jaw from Tetanus after stepping on a rusty nail, or had a bad dental procedure resulting in a slight case of Bell's Palsy...
And it's really eerie how you can wander all back and forth past your computer monitor and his eyes keep following you.
@Muse- my roommate has the world's longest rattail (in a little braid). For the past three years I've lived with him, I've had to resist the urge to just snip it off every time I'm holding scissors. I swear, someday I'm gonna lose my self control...
Chad's school picture day was the day that changed his life. When he got to school in his brand-new American flag T-shirt and newly trimmed mullet, he was beaming in his cross-eyed way. He had his picture taken, happy as a clam, and then he came out of the room where they were taking the pictures. Little did he know, a figure lurked in his shadows. He whirled around, but not fast enough—it was too late. Someone had leapt on him, snipping at his hair with scissors. Later that day, his future wife noticed his funky-looking hairdo and fell in love.
I tellya, life ain't easy for a boy named Sue.
Baby Basil said,
"yes the British put the Union Jack on things, but as a motif, not an all-over pattern."
I have seen pants, shirts, jackets, and shoes with allover Union Jack patterns. Just so you know.

and about a million more. I've also seen Union Jack stickers on cars and various other flat surfaces.
So your somewhat condescending, America- bashing post is ridiculous. (you were expecting this post, no?)
I always assumed that farmer was a woman.
I used to have a mullet and this shirt. I cut the sleeves off of mine though and wore it under my lacrosse pads all through high school. This is so 1989 metal dude. 2 years later and nirvana killed that whole thing. Ahhhhh, the innocence of youth.
I just want to say i love farmer...that's all:)
check out those triangley eyebrows!!!!!!!!

"This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
LOL @ Lolita! I was just listening to a live version of If I had $1Million, and at the beginning they did a little Grade 9 riff! Hilarious! (Found it on Project Playlist.)
Also, I have to nominate this guy in the picture as an Awkward Kid.
I think he's a hottie. He reminds me of a mix between an ex-guy of mine and my High School Art teacher- Conway.
I think he winked at me.
i've been to tuscaloosa. and i'm here to tell you, that if this picture is of a local, it was taken last week. he probably drives a mini-truck and has a potbellied pig for a house pet.
Ape Drape! (Thanks Venture Brothers!)
I keep going back and forth between "dude" and "chick" with this one
A dude's mullet...but a chick's hairsprayed bangs.
Apparent lipstick...but a possible Adam's apple
No earrings...but well scuplted, possibly plucked eyebrows.
I'm perplexed.
My sister and I found a couple of photos years ago, while leaving a movie. Two little kids, one girl, one boy. They looked like siblings. She took the boy, and I've STILL got the little girl in an album somewhere. I just think that whomever dropped them, wouldn't want them to be tossed aside.
@ Turbo - I was just picturing that guy trying to put on a pair of pants without a waist hole or ankle holes. Sad.
I know him! He.. Yes HE! had a bet going with his dads girlfriend that he wouldn't grow a mullet! Well, he did, and got $100! No idea how it ended up all the way in AL though! WEIRD!!
Cute? I think he might have a lazy eye... or is that just me?
It's a Boy.. I'm gonna need some photographic evidence to back up your claim.
David Essex!
Disgrace to the flag... might BE a flag. Flaggot!
Another '80s casualty. When will the memorial in D.C. be erected?
i feel like that is andrew wk.
hmm, I thought it was a girl...
