If this is not turned into a movie, Merrill, I will cut off all my hair!

Wait...the last photo I saw of you looks like you ALREADY cut off your hair. Does that mean there is a movie of this somewhere? Because it better stay under wraps til the strike is settled!

There are, as you know, Merrill, old photos floating around. This is good, cuz in old photos you and I and our hair are all younger!

Sadly my younger hair was as big a pain in the butt as my elder hair. My hopes for improvement thru maturity did not materialize.

These scissors people really don't know the trauma they may cause. Martin Short as Ed Grimley... sorry, I laughed at your pain. Well, one good thing about bad haircuts, they help inspire funny stories. (Caution for future: Don't trust anyone wearing something Adam Ant would have worn on stage in 1984. No good could come from it.)

I feel the haircut was a good look for her. Some may disagree.

That same friend of a friend cut my hair last summer. I sure do hope he reads this to understand the suffering he caused.

Haaa, It was the first REALLY bad haircut i had since about fifth grade when my mother made me get a perm and I was so humiliated I wouldnt come out of the car even after the garage was closed up. Both hair cuts were surprisingly more earth shattering than I suspected.

Did Casey recommend the hairdresser? Or did she date him, and used the recommendation as a coping mechanism?

Casey would have loved this guy. He even had prison tattoos.
