My first haircut
The Sysmidgets have, traditionally, kept their hair in buzz cuts. I've been noticing that their peers have been keeping it a little longer. The longer hair is inspired by, of all things, Zac Efron, the star of a movie on the Disney Channel, "High School Musical." So they're growing it out, but they're looking a little mangy.
The Sysmistress is not a fan of the longer hair, and she's lobbied for cuts. Flipper and Chili are pretty adamant that they don't want theirs cut. The twins (the Spaniard and... gimme a second... the other one doesn't have a nickname yet... okay, that'll do.....he's "Nickname" now) don't really care either way.
So while she was at work today, I gave the twins haircuts. I've never cut any of the kids' hair before. There were tears. The kids cried, too. The first cut? Not so good. The second was slightly better.
I cut their hair in the bathroom. It needed cleaning anyway, and the hair was everywhere. I got the Sysmistress one of those Roomba things last year. I put that on while I was cleaning the rest of the bathroom. I figured that I'd be sweeping the floor after it was done, but that it would just give me a head start by picking up most of the hair. The thing was on for a good 45 minutes, and did what I can charitably call a half-assed job. Like a Robo-teamster. Why can't I learn my lesson, to never trust robots?

11:38 PMMy father was once charged by my mother (the traditional giver of haircuts) to cut my hair once. He, and I'm not lying, shaved a lightning bolt into the back of my head. Why would he do such a thing you might ask, because he thought it was funny.
Ever since then, and this has been a good 20 years ago, he occasionally offers to cut my hair with a knowing smile.
Now I tell him to blow it out his ass. I would have told him the same thing back then but I had a little trouble with my S's.

I think surprise haircuts could be huge. Get 'em while they're passed out.

As a child I never bothered using a hairbrush on my waist length hair. One day mom brought me to her hairdresser for my first "big girl" cut. He cut all of my hair off while my mom watched with a big smile on her face. For months people thought I was a boy.
I'm still haunted by this...

Nick - When I was in cosmetology school, I buzzed the AC/DC logo into my mannequin head's hair. It was bitchin'.
Sysm - I want a Roomba so. Damn. Much. Also, bad short haircut beats the hell out of mangy grown-out haircut. Kudos to you.

if my father had done that I might not have been so pissed.

Fun Fact: the High School Musical DVD sold 400,000 units on its first day in stores, a record for made-for-TV monies.

What we need is a cross between the gromming and a Woomba, so while it's cleaning your lady business, it can give you a trim too.
Actually posted by Dilf, I'm filing in for her today.

Heh heh! I said "insert."

In case anyone was wondering, they're not conjoined. They look like it in the picture.
It would have made the haircut far too difficult.

I think the spammer is trying to tell you that you stink.
