Gettin my hair cut

**ichi** · 12-11-2004, 02:36

Since the 60's I have had long hair, and for most of the 70's and 80's even sported a world class mullet.

About two years ago I quit cutting it altogether, mainly because I was tired of my crew givin me $h!t all the time about the mudflap.

So lately I have been told, almost daily, that I need to get a haircut. I live in a rural western town filled with LDS missionary types, and in my work long hair is OK for the guys with chainsaws and shovels but not for management.

So, for Christmas I am cutting my hair. Or, to be precise, I am auctioning off the opportunity to cut off my hair and to style it as the highest bidder sees fit.

My 13-16" long hair will be donated to Locks of Love which is a charity that provides hair to kids with cancer who have lost their's as a result of chemotherapy.

The cash raised (over $900 so far) will go to buy Christmas presents for poor kids who otherwise wouldnt get much this year.

Apparently a lot of people want a shot at my head, some plan to use sheepshears or kids safety scissors.

Once the main body is cut off the highest bidders get to cut what is left - right now the 3 contending groups are 1) Purple Mohawk 2) LDS Missionary 3) my crew wants to carve their initials (FC) into the back of my head - i think they are referring to my hair, but not sure they may mean use a knife on my scalp!!

The local TV and radio stations are broadcasting the event live and a pizza place is donating lunch.

I mention this just cause I rarely do anything that I can be proud of, and didn't want to miss the opportunity to let you all know that, in this case, I am actually demonstrating decent behavior.

Anybody wants to kick in just email me at

ichi_san@lycos.com

and I send you the url to donate

Oh, and I wish you all a very Merry Christmas /Hanukkah / Kwanza / Boxing Day

ichi, I'm impressed. You set a fine example of what is good about mankind. A nice and refreshing change of pace from the norm in this world lately. Good luck and keep us posted on the results.

Sorry, but I really do want to see what you look like with a truly bizzare haircut...

You have to pony up first oaty, then get in line from the looks of it.
A nice gesture ichi, way to go.

While I am sad that you are cutting your hair, I admire that you are doing it for a good cause. And I think that you should grow it right back again.

Indeed Ichi I agree with Gregoshi, you ended up with a normal hair cut, they could have been far more sadistic.
It was a very noble act and much respect is due.
My wife says the shorter look suits you
