ow, that stings, eh!

[bossymarmalade]

I have two important things to say, for the benefit of Canoodians everywhere.

Number One! JC does not now, nor has he ever had, a mullet. A mullet is short on top and long in the back, it's business at the front and party at the back. It's also a tried-and-true hairstyle for hockey players galore, guys who hang around the Legion, and people from Saskatchewan. The distinguishing feature of a mullet is that it's fuck-ass hideous.

JC's hair is layered and carefully coiffed. Even when it's all loose and curly and Jebus-y, it's more groomed than a real mullet could ever wish to be. Plus, mullets give me the need to vomit violently, and JC's hair has never done that.

Number Two: It's not a beanie, it's a toque! Beanies have little stupid propellors on the top! A toque is something that keeps your head warm when you're skiing or popping out to Tim Horton's in the middle of the night! Even the crocheted ones are toques, because that's the kind we wear when the weather starts to warm up and we still want to wear them but don't need the thermal insulation! Grarrrraaarh!

this post may have been fueled by that Extra special featuring Vancouver wherein the hosts added "eh" to every sentence and kept showing the damn flag to remind you what Canada is. stupid fuckers.

You are too cute.

I can't tell you how many people I've had to explain toque's to.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

I love toques. We have so many in our house that we're always unearthing new ones from somewhere. Hearing them called "beanies" verges on the physically painful, yo. *g*

Re:

[pirateyes.livejournal.com]

It really kind of is.

I would be lying if I claimed to own less than 20 toques just by myself. It's a slight fixation of mine ;)

[kiffle.livejournal.com]

Thank you for explaining the mullet. Every time someone said JC had a mullet, I pictured him with Billy Ray Cyrus' hair circa 1994 or whenever that was. And just...no.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

Yes! Billy Ray Cyrus had a mullet extreme. JC's too purdy for that!

[cathybites.livejournal.com]

In case people are still confused, you should direct them over to Mullets Galore (http://www.mulletsgalore.com/). I swear it's like looking at my high school yearbook.

And, also, I am still baffled by the word 'toque'. It's just...such a weird little word! I always just refer to those hats as woolies.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

"Woolies" is cute. I would accept that. But beanies!! Arrrrghh!!

[ghostoftheyear.livejournal.com]

Motherfucking word, yo.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

Hell yeah! *pumps fist*

[minette.livejournal.com]

It just makes me want to pelt these bastards with Will Ferguson books until some of this information sinks in.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

*g* Generally, I don't do the flag-waving thing, but--toques, man. Near and dear to my heart.

[summer-cycle.livejournal.com]

hehehhehee!

That mullet definition should be added as a disclaimer to any messageboard where people are posting pictures of JC. It hurts my eyes to see his hair being described as a mullet, really.

The complusive "eh" insertion just reminds me of the South Park Canadians. Oh dear. hee.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

*g* As a matter of fact, whenever cathybites is mad at me she refers to my beady eyes and flapping head so full of lies. So I don't mind the South Park thing at all. ^_^

It's so not a mullet! Mullets are fugly!!

[missizzard.livejournal.com]

and people from Saskatchewan.

Hey! ....okay, yeah. :D

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

*giggle* I had a moment's consideration, "hmmm...should I insult Manitobans, Albertans, or Saskatchewanians?" and you guys lost. Sorry about that, baby. *snuggle*

[missizzard.livejournal.com]

Well, since I live in Alberta now, I kinda had a pretty good chance of being in the targeted mullet province. :D And hey, there's not so many mullets in Saskatchewan anymore, but there's plenty of cowboy belt buckles the size of dinner plates. :D

[strippedhalo.livejournal.com]

[rains many kisses down upon your head]

Yes, yes, and yes. Thank you, thank you, thank you. It's not a mullet. Not even close. And yes! with the beanies and the propellers.

!!!

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

*g* Consider it a PSA, man. Because, mullets! Beanies!! It's not just wrong, it's UGLY!!

[indirajames.livejournal.com]

Heh. Mullets are so funny. If JC had ever had a mullet, though, it's not a bad thing! It's nice to laugh at your lust objects. Mullets. Are. Funny.

I suddenly want a mullet icon.

*is evil*

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

JC's crappy "Caesar" cut was quite bad enough. I think he'd rather kill himself than have a mullet.

You ARE evil. *eyes you suspiciously*

[arami.livejournal.com]

Testify sistah! *hugs* The JC has never ever had a mullet. He's had questionable cropped cuts, but never the redneck mullet :)

And thank you! Everytime someone mentioned them wearing 'beanies' I got horrible immages of the little hat that Dennis the Menace wears.

*sigh* People are stupid.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

The cropped cut was so hideous! Poor baby. But no mullet, ever.

And beanies! Toques are VASTLY superior, yo. *spits* Beanies.

*shudder*

Re:

[arami.livejournal.com]

It really was bad. He doesn't have the ears to wear the cropped cut.

Toques reign supreme. Beanies are evil, yo. Very evil. *smites them*

:(

[ms-nerd.livejournal.com]

::pumps fist in air::

You tell 'em sistah!

Not!mullet
Not!beanie

DAMN!

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

Whoot! Solidarity, sister! Toques back for everyone!

but i had a beanie!

IS TOQUE NOW.

aahahahaha!!

[leelee1731.livejournal.com]

BWAHAHAHA!!! I have to share this. I'm linking this in my journal, if you don't mind. Funny, funny shit.

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

Dude, no problem. It's a Public Service Announcement of sorts, to stop the mullet-beanie madness. ^_^

Re:

[leelee1731.livejournal.com]

it's perfect. i love it.

[wickedwisdom.livejournal.com]

this is grade A information, dude.

jc has (nor would he ever in the forceable future have) a mullet. i think most of the "confusion" was due to stupid teenies that have never seen the circa 70s-80s mullet because they are too young.


and thanks for clearing up the toque thing too. i had a former co-worker that was from ohio and she had a college roomie that was canadian and picked up saying toque from her.

so yes...will stop babbling now.

Re:

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

Teenies will label any longish hair a mullet. They don't KNOW the true horror, yo. *g*

[mitajoey.livejournal.com]

DUDE! I thought a toque was something you took off a joint. I am so enlightened. Seriously, I've never heard it described as a toque until I got in this fandom. We call them skullies. Or grandma hats, because your grandma always wanted you to wear one.

And yea, so not a mullet. I feel insulted for JC for anyone ever thinking that it could be one. That's just nasty.

Re:

[bossymarmalade.livejournal.com]

"Skullies" and "Grandma hats" I find to be cute and regional. "Beanies" is just plain WRONG. So say I! *g*

It's pronounced "touk", like the hobbit, and not "toke." Although we like those up here as well. ^_^
