I like traditional barbershops. One of my earliest memories is sitting in Victor’s in Evendale, Ohio, with my dad. My choice of haircuts was limited, but I got to choose between a burr, a crewcut or a flat top, and I usually chose the latter.
Being allowed to choose is a big deal for a 5 years old, and after careful consideration, I usually ended up looking like this:
This place is a lot like an old-time barbershop. Visiting with the locals, drinking Barq’s Cream Soda, playing checkers, and trash talking anyone not around to defend themselves on The Overnight Open Thread.

Does that barbershop sign say what I think it says?!?!?!
Judging from the phone number on the sign, I’m guessing that barber shop is in the UK or Ireland.
Yup…Tyneside…

Rumor has it that you get a free Ipad with a haircut. Here’s a happy customer.
@ The Osprey:
Yeah. I figgered someone would call it out. Meanwhile, I re-ran across this vid. Chuck nails Keith.

Chuck Berry was one of the few early rockers who figured out the business. With the exception of Johnny Johnson, Berry would roll into town, find the best house band and hire them for backup. “What are we gonna play?” they’d ask.
He’d respond,”Chuck Berry music.”

Cleaning out my spam box… Some of the shit I get is just too fucking funny…
Especially funny is the copyright notice at the end of the 411 Nigerian scammer spam.

It’s copyrighted! Means it must be real.
Pass on to some liberal.
I remember going for a haircut once shortly after we moved away from DC (Arlington, in fact) out to what was then the “country” to the west. While I was sitting in the chair, a guy comes in, leans his shotgun against the wall, plops a bunch af freshly-killed squirrels on the floor, and negotiates a deal – two squirrels for a haircut. He got his haircut, the barber got dinner.
To an 11 year old who hadn’t been raised to this sort of thing, it was pretty awesome. To everybody else, it was just ordinary.
My current “barbershop” (actually a salon) was taken over/bought out by Mexicans, as the little strip mall it’s in has mostly gone that route. But I’m nothing if not a stubborn bastard, and I’ve been going to the same place since 1993, so I still go there. Half the people don’t really speak English, and I don’t really speak Spanish, but with a few words and some hand gestures, I manage to get my hair cut. I might be their only gringo customer by now.
Of course, I’m not real picky about how my hair is cut so long as I come out with less hair.
And because we be reppin’ da NE28… here’s a word from our sponsor

The Chicago Tribune has an article this morning
that illustrates the tolerance in Islam.
A St. Louis Muslim poet penned a piece about the Holacaust
and his love for Jews, seriously.
To make clear their displeasure, two car loads
of Muslim Somalis, rammed his car, jumped in stabbing
him & carving the Star of David on his back.
We need more Somalis./
The rain has stopped, so I’m off for a bike ride.
beside, Obama will soon be sending some Teamsters
over to impound my bike.
There are four bikes in the family, so that is just
greed.

For what? We can use Democrats as javelin catchers and moving targets. Somolis are redundant when you have Democrats available…
