In our culture, we don't always name hairdids
anymore, especially the ones for men. Used to be, a man could go into a
barbershop and ask for a flat top or a Chicago box-car, which was a
flattop with long sides and a duck's ass in back. Or he could say he
wanted a Prince Valiant, most notably worn by Brian Jones. Or of
course, there was always the Full Elvis, with the pompadour, slicked
sides and a d.a. with sideburns.

And don't forget the traditional wiffle, or buzz,
cut. I don't know where that name "wiffle" came from, but it's what you
get when you just run the clippers all over your melon and cut it down
to the lowest length. This look is popular among David Beckham, Sinead
O'Connor, and every male member of the armed forces during their basic
training.

Lately
I see a lot of guys - mainly in what I refer to as the "non-retired,"
or "still working" age group - wearing what I refer to as the "Skeezix"
haircut. That's the one where the hair is pretty short all over and the
barber leaves enough at the very front to grab and freeze with hair
goo, leaving a look like the picture on the button at right. That's
Skeezix from the Gasoline Alley comic strip. I know it's an old comic,
but everything old comes back again, if you give it enough time.
Isn't that right, Moe?
