"Let us trim our hair in accordance with Socialist lifestyle..."

Be sure to view the slide show of images from one of TV series discussed in this article about a North Korean crackdown on long hair.

Excerpt:

The programme allowed men aged over 50 seven centimetres of upper hair to cover balding.


It stressed the "negative effects" of long hair on "human intelligence development", noting that long hair "consumes a great deal of nutrition" and could thus rob the brain of energy.


This via Dave Bug, who, as you might imagine, would like to see a tape, or a translated transcript, of the program. He asks if I have any North Korean tape-dubbing connections. Sadly, I do not. Anyone?

i think we need some sort of hairgel rules for men in our country.

I wonder what the MIM would say regarding the line on long hair causing less intelligence, and the North Koreans seeming disinterest in women's hairlength (or, more likely, their demands that women keep long hair).

This is the logical fallacy known as the Mullet Extrapolation...

I could give it a whirl but I'll need some time on it.

I don' t think this guy got the hair-length memo:

Frank-

If you want to have your web page show the last X entries, instead of only showing the entries of this month, do the following:

1) in the movable type main menu, click on your blog name, then click "Templates"
2) Click the "Main Index" template
3) Scroll down and find the (NOT )
4) Change it to this: or - that number will display the last 10 or 15 or whatever number entries
5) then your blog won't always end suddenly and mysteriously at the beginning of every month!

hey fellas, remember me? i was banned from here for pretending to be a hothead named "DJ STORM". it was a very sad day for me, as i love and respect doctor frank and never meant to upset him. i kept it all in one thread, but he was still vrey angry.
well, i finally made it to another computer just to tell you all i still remember you in my prayers at night. chat on.

christ opher i mean, not christopher.

You got your IP banned? Damn!!! What did you do while I was on vacation. I mean, you were always a pest and troublemaker, but to get banned....geeeee
Hope somebody never does that here. I share IP addresses and have different ones all the time.

i just thoroughly explained what i did wrong. i claimed to be some guy who was holding up a stupid protest sign that dr frank posted on here. i tried my best to judge the kid and then imitate his personality through a few posts. it was just stupid, something to do to waste time until golden girls comes on. i think dr frank may have been PMSing at the time or something.

Posted by: christ opher at January 31, 2005 11:59 AM

zaphod you're a rotten liar! i just went back to the scene of crime like all good criminals do, and i saw a post from you asking dr. frank if this was the first time in the history of the board he has banned someone. stop being coy!
i hereby declare you my arch-nemisis on this board. The Fibber? Lieotron? Mister Deception? Captain Bullshit? pick your name!
i also posted a new comment under the public announcement of my banishment.
now frank, i am sorry to have caused such a disruption. i could have come right back the next day from a different computer, but i wanted to serve my time. it's been a few months now, and i think the ban should be lifted. please unkill file me. if you do, i promise to do the following:

1) only post as Christ Opher
2) keep my comments related to the subject at hand
3) spare the dastardly zaphod from further ridicule
4) wash behind me ears

if you don't, i promise to do this:

1) post from sattelite computers at public places
2) get all of your future songs from kazaa.com

in my defense, i was the kid you remembered as "that weird guy from new york" when i confronted you at a show in boston. i also took it upon myself to flyer the fuck out of boston for your show with my own flyers. do you remember "the bad boys of rock n roll" masterpiece i made? that was for YOU, man.
i'm alot cooler than i was back then, by the way. i watched a video tape of our backstage interview recently and felt really embarassed.

so, what do you say, will you forgive me? (wwjd?)

Posted by: Zaphod at January 31, 2005 05:11 PM

well, i don;t know about the rest but zaph does sound like he'd make a good evil villian.

frank, we're boooored,yes it is your sole responsiblilty to entertain us.

i found a card the other day! its sadly not that interesting,but maybe i'll post the message later.

Posted by: just me at January 31, 2005 07:44 PM

boy i feel like an ass! when i first came to this page today an error occured and i was convinced dr frank took his whole blog down because of me. my heart sank like a stone and i just emailed him this emotional apology. then i tried again and all is well. oh well.
to everyone else i annoyed, im sorry. while i dont understand people who get annoyed by dumbasses they encounter on the internet (its not like you have to hang out with me all day), this isnt the right place for my mischeif. i will behave from now on. excelisor!

Anybody who quotes Stan Lee must have SOME redeeming qualities.

Posted by: Zaphod at February 1, 2005 10:45 AM

dr frank has been surprisingly quiet on this topic. could it be he has something else going on in his life other than this? freaking a.
