1. that's a great pic, I love it!

I've always had a soft spot for people who look 'different'. Love the self expression.

2. Just don't be standing too near him when he turns his head suddenly.

You'll lose an eye.

3. Sadly, we had a young man in my home town who was murdered for being different like that

6. I knew who you were talking about before I opened your post.

I watched a documentary about Brian several years ago. How very sad. The lack of justice for that sorry POS who killed him still burns me up. At least he did end up in prison, though, finally.

7. Yes, he did

And it was hilarious. Stupid idiot got drunk at a party (hosted by his no-account uncle) and the cops nailed him. Fool. Don't get me started on that bastard's damned family. grrrr.

4. That secret service agent is NOT amused.

9. ahh, the good ol' days!!!

you really have to appreciate a mohawk like that... they are a pain in the ass when they get that long.

[blogslut]

13. What do you think?

Jello? Or gel? Or good old Aqua Net?

[Forkboy]

16. All of the above.

I had real long hair for awhile, and then when I cut it I got a spiked mohawk (neon green) for a couple of months. Biggest pain in the ass ever. It took forever to get it right each day, and mine was just seven big spikes, not fanned out like his.

[blogslut]

17. It is nice

How straight he got it. I'm pretty sure heat was involved.

[IndependentDem]

19. im going with mix of egg whites and Aqua Net...

jell or knox would be too heavy for a big fin like this.

[blogslut]

20. Ahhh, egg whites

Makes sense.

I was strictly an Aqua Net person. I used to just tease and tease and kinda work the spikes out from the nest mess. :)

[IndependentDem]

21. oh yes, Aqua Net was a friend to us all...

i used a bunch of different methods through the years.. all of which included a big white can of aqua net. but toward the end i got lazy and used elmers glue-- i also found that spray paint helped and was much easier than die. :toast:

22. Wow

You really were a punk. I was just a poser compared to you. I am not worthy.

One time, I was at a Thompson Twins concert. My friends and I all thought we were so clever because we wore trash bags as clothing. I was standing there, enjoying the show when I looked at the fellow beside me. He had safety pin stuck through his cheek. That's when I knew I was a poser.

[IndependentDem]

24. hahaha...

i think we have all been there! there is always someone "more punk" than you- the funny thing is that many times those who looked the most punk were really the posers... the whole "im more punk than you" thing was always amusing to me.

[blogslut]

25. So true

I had a friend who summed up the whole thing perfectly.

He called it "Defensive Dressing".

11. Why isn't that one guy smiling?

It's a joyous occasion, dude!

[blogslut]

12. Secret Service

They don't smile.

[Cha]

15. I got that from upthread now and

I knew they had a serious job but I didn't know they never smiled like the English Gaurds at Buckingham Palace. :)

18. this hardcore kid sure does

that's a great hawk btw

[Willo]

23. Love the pic. Big Mohawk meets Prez Mini Mohawk

Egg whites, jello, aqua net, hmmm. Note to file: I learned to make a mohawk on Du's GDP.

[BumRushDaShow]

26. Cool! K&R

:kick:

[Arugula Latte]

27. Oh, man. I love that.

What a guy, to take meeting that punker guy in stride and with a smile on his face. Can you imagine Dumbass Dubya getting anywhere near that guy? No way.

:thumbsup:

[Scurrilous]

28. Great pic.
