SIDE SALAD - Everything crunchy is good.

THE MULLET PROJECT ROLLS ON

Halloween seems a natural time to bust out the mullet wig and add some photos to The Mullet Project. So much so that my neighbor Patrick asked to borrow it for the evening. A mullet rental, as it were.

I asked what he was dressing up as.

"You know how rednecks are always getting hot women these days?" he said.

Uh, not really, I said. But go on.

"I'm going to dress up like a redneck and she's going as the hot woman,'' he said, pointing at his bride.

How could I stand in the way of a concept like that?

Anyway, here's what the end result was:

I was unaware that hot women accompanying rednecks wore fake farmer teeth.

Color me naive.

Even baby Charlie got into the act.
Well worth the donation, I'd say.

The wig has gotten plenty of wear around the neighborhood lately, including on the head of:

My neighbor, Lisa, who gives it some Camaro attitude, and...

...her husband Preston. Rawk on, dude!

PJ's teeth and Gene Simmons tongue add a verisimilitude to the ensemble.

Salad Boy is always game for a mullet wearing.

For Nick, there's a fine line between a wig and a Davy Crocket coonskin cap.

There really aren’t many better Halloween costumes you can come up with than dressing up as good ol Joe Dirt’s family…redneck mullet haired rednecks. That’s right. That thar be right as rain man. Now you just need to root through the closet for some old work clothes, a ripped up flannel and some wholly jeans, rub some dirt on your face and get a nice mullet wig and Bam! Joe Dirt. That’s right. It’s a fairly inexpensive costume so you can afford some funny looking teeth and costumes for the kids to boot.
