OK, folks. To make up for my total lack of posting this week due to the fact that I've been getting home after 9 p.m. for the last three nights, I pose a question with which you may entertain yourselves and one another until I am coherent enough to post some photos and stories from the last couple of weeks. Here goes:

What is the worst haircut you ever got?

For the record, the worst haircut I ever had happened during an ill-advised period during college when I decided it would be a good idea to grow my hair out, resulting in what I thought at the time was a semi-short, layered, flippy-in-the-back kind of Meg Ryan thing and what in retrospect I have realized looked very much like a free-range mullet you might see in any Wal-mart in the Deep South. A note to the people who knew me then: WHY didn't you just do me a favor and cut my hair off in my sleep?

Dan says that the worst hair-related decision he ever made was the time he shaved his head. In case I don't have it in writing anywhere else, let me say in this forum that he is officially forbidden from ever doing that again.

So ... what's the worst thing you ever paid someone to do to your hair?
