Southern Style Is A World Record

  Author:  5940  Category:(News) Created:(9/10/2023 8:37:00 AM)
This post has been Viewed (156 times)

Tami Manis has spent more than 33 years growing a mullet that stretches 5 feet, 8 inches — four inches longer than she is tall, and she plans to ride that business-in-the-front, party-in-the-back vibe into the afterlife.

“At my memorial, they can take it off then, and drape it across my urn,” she told The Washington Post.

In life, her mullet has brought her an increasing amount of recognition in recent years. On Aug. 31, Guinness World Records announced that Manis, 58, had earned the record for the longest female mullet ever recorded in competition: 68 inches. Because Manis is 5-foot-4, her hair sweeps the ground as a sort of mullet train when it’s allowed to flow freely, she said. Her ever-lengthening hairstyle has become an intrinsic part of her identity over the decades, never more than after the stamp of legitimacy from the premier keeper of world records.

“Growing the longest mullet never really started out as anything other than it was the ‘80s and everybody had a rattail,” Manis said in a Guinness video. “And I started growing mine, and over the years, it’s just kept growing, so I’ve kept it.”

Manis, a nurse from Knoxville, Tenn., started growing it on Feb. 9, 1990, which she recognizes as her “mullet birthday.” A few years before, she had seen a woman sporting a rattail in the music video for the song “Voices Carry” by ’Til Tuesday and wanted one of her own. When she went to get the rest of her hair cut, the barber told her a rattail wouldn’t look good on her, but Manis persisted, according to what she told Guinness. “Well,” she remembered telling the barber, “this is what I want.”

Date: 9/10/2023 9:03:00 AM  From Authorid: 5301    

...I thought for sure that USM would have put the Banhammer
to you after you broke their servers again. I guess I was wrong.

  
Date: 9/10/2023 9:07:00 AM  From Authorid: 5301    

...makes you wonder if she shaved her armpits or
was vying for a record in a different category.

  
Date: 9/10/2023 9:10:00 AM  From Authorid: 5301    

...Hey Larry never had any goals in life but they gave him a participation trophy anyhow.

  
Date: 9/10/2023 9:10:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    Admit it,you were secretly hoping that they’d have me drawn & quartered.  
Date: 9/10/2023 9:11:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    That’s an entirely different category that only you would have come up with.  
Date: 9/10/2023 9:14:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    Participation trophy? Don’t you have to at least participate?  
Date: 9/10/2023 9:14:00 AM  From Authorid: 5301    

...actually, staked out on an anthill full of unhappy red ants.
But that's just the easy-going side of my thoughts.

  
Date: 9/10/2023 9:16:00 AM  From Authorid: 5301    

...yes, there are participation trophies for breathing air too.

  
Date: 9/10/2023 9:17:00 AM  From Authorid: 5301    

...I hope you don't break the site again today.
I was thinking about making a rare post.

  
Date: 9/10/2023 9:18:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    I picture your idea of easy going like a semi truck driver that’s taken diet pills while drinking gallons of coffee.  
Date: 9/10/2023 9:19:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    What is this concept of air that you speak of?  
Date: 9/10/2023 9:22:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    1. I didn’t break the site, and you know that already.

2. You and thinking just doesn’t sound right.

3. Posts that are made on U SM are subject to Admin scrutiny.
  
Date: 9/10/2023 9:46:00 AM  From Authorid: 5301    

...I had a witness to your server-breaking spree but he/she/it was abducted by aliens.
Still, there are copious VOLUMES of invisible evidence that proves you're the perpetrator.

  
Date: 9/10/2023 9:49:00 AM  From Authorid: 5301    

"3. Posts that are made on U SM are subject to Admin scrutiny."

Someone was sleeping on the job when you put this up.

  
Date: 9/10/2023 12:05:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    So where’s this witness ? It better not be an invisible six foot rabbit named Harvey.
  
Date: 9/10/2023 6:16:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    You can come out, now. It wasn't you; it was Hey Larry.

kronk---Man, am I glad to hear that. I really thought that I'd done it. That's the last time I mention that rat, "Swallwell" on a public forum.

"L.D."---Ugh! Brace yourselves, pilgrims! Here "he" goes, again!
  
Date: 9/10/2023 6:17:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    Hey Larry "They" are everywhere!  
Date: 9/10/2023 6:21:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    Well, I'll tell ya one thing, little buddy: "I've seen many a mullet in my day, but a 5' 4" mullet has got to be some sort of record.

"L.D."---Ugh!
  
Date: 9/10/2023 7:14:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    It’s ok Kronk. Hekler should really be known as Hacker these days.  
Date: 9/10/2023 7:15:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    That’s what “ Hacker” wants you to think. He’s gaslighting you.  
Date: 9/10/2023 7:16:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    You know, Hekler has been working on a world’s record for the longest nose and ear hair. He needs our support.  
Date: 9/10/2023 8:28:00 PM  From Authorid: 5301    

...Hey Larry...it was going to be a surprise but now you've
gone and taken all the joy out of things yet once again.

The reason I was growing THAT particular crop was to weave
you a manly looking toupé for your next birthday so you could
get back out and haunt the piano bars looking all fresh and
exciting. I was even going to ask people for donations so we
could all buy you a sporty rear spoiler for your Skoda.

You just saved everyone from coughing up their spare change.

  
Date: 9/10/2023 8:28:00 PM  From Authorid: 5301    

...I forgot to say: BRAVO!

  
Date: 9/10/2023 8:34:00 PM  From Authorid: 5301    

...Hey Kronk and L.D...would either or both of you maybe want
to make a donation to the "Flaming Bag Via Drone Fund"?

I can't tell you what this is all about at this location because
I want it to be a surprise. Get in contact if interested.

  
Date: 9/11/2023 3:15:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    Now, why don’t I believe a single word that comes out of your mouth? Oh…yeah….because you’re full of fertilizer. The last time , as I recall, you were asking for donations to help save some kind of apartment building that houses poor widows and orphans. Instead, you used that money to turn that building into a telemarketer boiler room to sell bogus land deals in Florida! And those poor widows and orphans are working for you as indentured servants. For shame!  
Date: 9/11/2023 3:19:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    Don’t do it Kronk, L.D.! His idea of a drone is using the old balsa wood toy airplanes…you know, where you wind the propeller that’s attached to a rubber band! He’ll have your bank account cleaned out in no time.  
Date: 9/11/2023 4:18:00 AM  From Authorid: 21435    Hekler I 'm a little strapped for cash, at the moment, but I have a friend in Florida (at least for a while, anyway) who might donate.

"L.D."---Who do you know in Florida that has money? You're not talking about Castro, are you? He just came over in a banana boat, last week.

kronk---No, dog; I'm talking about Roho' That cat is loaded and I bet he'd jump at the chance to drop a flaming bag on a few people.

"L.D."---hehehe
  
Date: 9/11/2023 10:18:00 AM  From Authorid: 5301    

...no problem Kronk. I can understand sketchy finances.
Yours probably arose from having a dog that is secretly
and hopelessly addicted to Keno and good cuts of meat.

If you can send ANYTHING, even something like fish guts,
I'm sure that I can work it into the plan.

  
Date: 9/11/2023 5:17:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    Oh, resorting to bribery eh?  
Date: 9/12/2023 12:55:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    Hekler "L.D." is indeed the "gambling sort." He'll bet on pretty much anything at all. As for me, I'm much more reserved.
"L.D."---One nickel, straight up, says you strike out with Mrs. Kronk again, this Friday?

kronk---You are on, dog! I got it going on, this week. There is not way that I'll fail, this time.

"L.D."---Ha! You're counting on that new cologne you bought, aren't you? Care to make it a dime?

kronk---You're on! That stuff is so potent, she won't be able to resist me and you will be in to me for one "grande'," my k-9 amigo.

"L.D."---Yeah, whatever, dude. I ain't worried, `cause you could bathe yourself in "nectar of the gods" and you'd still smell like a fish.

kronk---Ugh!
  
Date: 9/12/2023 1:20:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    Hekler We have to use the fish guts for bait, but I could compress about forty pounds of congealed blue crab innards and send `em that way, if you promised to do a fly by/bombs away, over "The U.S. naval Observatory."

"L.D."---"They" are going to get you, man.

kronk---You'll never guess what I heard through the grapevine?

"L.D."---I'm not listening to you. I "am" leaving the room.

kronk---"He said ....She said...Oh, Lord! It's just too heavy!"

"L.D."---Oh, brother....Ugh!
  
Date: 9/12/2023 5:22:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    LOL!  
Date: 9/12/2023 5:28:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    Hey Larry Man, we gotta' do some "serious" recruiting. I'm getting some sort of a complex; talking to my dog so much.

"L.D."---How do you think I feel?

kronk---Who said that?

  
Date: 9/12/2023 8:54:00 PM  From Authorid: 42945       
Date: 9/13/2023 12:19:00 AM  From Authorid: 5301    

...Kronk...I can't claim to be anything approaching a gastronome
but those forty pounds of congealed blue crab innards sound like
something I could sell to a French restaurant for $ten thousand.

Can you look around your place for something disgusting?
Any old outhouses in the area? L.D would probably know.

  
Date: 9/13/2023 12:35:00 AM  From Authorid: 5301    

...and I'll try to do one of those fly-overs you had requested but I can't
promise The U.S. Naval Observatory. Would a run on Twitter H.Q. be equally
as satisfying? I could even drop off a bouquet of roses on Nancy Pelosi's
doorstep for you. Two dollars more gets you chocolates and balloons.

  
Date: 9/13/2023 12:39:00 AM  From Authorid: 5301    

...I'm short selling those congealed blue crab innards
on the open market right now and the stock is going
sky-high. How much of these can you supply? I'll cut
you in for 21.3%. You'll be able to afford a crabbing
yacht in no time at all. This is opportunity knocking.

  
Date: 9/13/2023 12:43:00 AM  From Authorid: 5301    

getting my trading terms all mixed up. Anyhow, kill more crabs and send congealed guts A.S.A.P and P.D.Q.

  
Date: 9/13/2023 12:43:00 AM  From Authorid: 5301    

...stat

  
Date: 9/13/2023 12:51:00 AM  From Authorid: 5301    

...if you send them within the next 7 minutes and 53 seconds,
you get a free splat/stink/stomp video of all of the zany action.

SEND NOW!

  
Date: 9/13/2023 6:37:00 AM  From Authorid: 21435    Hekler I have always enjoyed eating blue crabs. Ever since I learned to crack open the things, I was always a factor at the picnic table, during a crab boil. Back in those days and actually, up until I started catching crabs commercially, I always boiled, or sometimes steamed the crabs whole. (in their shells)

These days, however, when I want to eat crabs, I begin by breaking off the shell, removing the gills, blowing all the innards out with a high pressure stream of water and then brushing the bodies off with a stiff brush. Then, I boil or steam the cleaned bodies.

"L.D."---Why did you go into all that? All you had to tell the man was that you finally realized (after I pointed out) that you were eating all the crab's guts and digestive system, and decided not to, anymore.

kronk---Ugh!

"L.D."---Hekler How's the moose market, up there? Anyway, the human's down here are extremely disgusting. The old home place has no less than four double-hole outhouses. Yep, still standing after all the years. Those no longer serve their original purpose, and we all know what that was, but have been "re" purposed as smoke houses. Ugh! ...and, "they" say that dogs are nasty.

  
Date: 9/13/2023 6:53:00 AM  From Authorid: 21435    Hekler "L.D." here: By my calculations, our boy kronk is responsible for the premature demise of at least 11,790,602 adult specimens of "Callinectes sapidus" during his murderous career.

kronk---It's a tough job, but somebody's gotta' do it. How you gonna' make "Crab Louie" without crab?

"L.D."---Yeah, well, you'd better hope that "Great governing force of the universe" is not a crustacean.

kronk---Gulp!
  
Date: 9/13/2023 4:03:00 PM  From Authorid: 5301    

...Kronk...it sounds like you've had a lifetime of experience with the crabs.

The moose are doing well but have recently sent a petition to Ottawa to seek
a ruling against government intrusion into their lands in contravention of the
Upper Canada/Moose Treaty of 1863. I believe that the moose are beginning to
arm themselves. I fear that this will not end well.

  
Date: 9/13/2023 4:06:00 PM  From Authorid: 5301    

...L.D...I'll email you a recipe for Crab Louie
using tofu as a substitute for the crab meat.
Kronk will never know the difference and it will
also be healthier for him.
