Mullet vs. man-bun.

Saw that one break out between my two granddaughters, regarding their choices in men.

Oh my sainted aunt! Not a fan of mullets, but as for the man bun, there is one question that has to be asked, to wit: "Am I Toshiro Mifune?"

If the answer is no, then a man bun is right out. Don't even think about it.

The TP thing is a hanging offense.

I have a theory that it's a guy vs. gal thing. Guys hang it down the front, gals down the back. Guys are practical and gals are... ummm... I have no idea.

You're skipping all the white-white subgroup tribal ones et al inherited from Europe. Here's a few to start off but I'm absolutely sure that this isn't anywhere near complete:

Romanian v Hungarian

Transylvanian v Old Kingdom (Wallachia + Moldova)

Roma v Everyone

Thanks. This has given me some things to consider about more well-known wars here in America.

Per Tom Lehrer:

They are starving in Africa

They are rioting in Spain

There are hurricanes in Florida

And Texas needs rain

The French hate the Germans

The Germans hate the Poles

Italians hate Yugoslavs

South Africans hate the Dutch

And I don't like anybody very much.

Saw that in Glenn's comments! Perfect.

BTW, Mr. Lehrer is still with us at 94.

I like how Custer is not just sitting with his classmate... he’s leaning into him to show their connection...almost like he’s protecting him, too. I’d never seen that photo before. Thank you Juliette.
