Rob has posted a photo of himself with Embarrassing 80's Hair. The link to the picture is too frightening to click on; it's certainly not suitable for small children and it may not be work-safe (due to OSHA Safety Rules regarding Blinding Materials.). Suffice it to say that all this time I thought he was referring to his wife whenever he referred to "The Big Hair."
Of course, I had Embarrassing 80's hair back in the 80's myself. I had, at various times:
1. A top-perm. Think of it as a modified reverse-mullet--take a look at the back cover for Berlin's Love Life for an example.
2. A D-A. Say what you will, it was cool back then.
3. A flattop. To be honest, I wanted a flattop like my Paw Paw had when I was a kid, but my hair was too fine when I was 8 or 9. Later on, after years of some perms and stuff, I got one. It was the shiznit.
Fortunately, only one photo exists of any of these (the top-perm, after it grew out a bit and was trimmed back and tamed) and maybe if I'm bribed properly I'll scan it and post it.
That is, if I can find it. Heh.

More importantly, if I call my wife that and she already knows what it means, will she hit me?

Posted by: liz at Marzo 8, 2004 03:57 PMI'm not sure what POSSLQ is, but a d-a is a Duck's Ass. It's like a part in the back of your head.
