Revenge is a dish best served cold… it is very cold in 1st grade… Lorraine Strikes Back on Wednesday.
Yes, when I came up with the name “Hairway to Heaven” I immediately Googled the name and indeed found a number of hair salons with that name. I have learned that nothing is new, so when I come up with a “clever” name or something, I Google it to see who’s already used it and if they’ll get pissed at me using it. Since it just hair salons, I call dibs on the name.
Randy Newman actually got in a bit of trouble back in 1977 with today’s comic title “Short People” as most folks assumed it was a slam at those height-challenged adults, when in fact it was about grubby little kids that Mr. Newman was referring too. Having raised three hell-raisers of my own, I can completely associate with the words in the song. But, my youngest sister, being a tad short, hated the song just the same. You’re not short, my dear, you’re the perfect height for me to lean on… and that’s what little brothers do.

Congrats on the host change…on to bigger and better pastures.
And thats the bad thing about Google…it holds me back from being great! As soon as I think of something clever that I SURE no one else has thought of, there’s a web page for it, fan sites and everything else. I guess great minds all think alike.
Where was she when I was little and getting my hair cut, I would’ve wanted my hair cut a lot more than I did. To have those brush up against my head during… would’ve been pure heaven!
Amen…it was a place with the barber pole and men that smelled like funny aftershave for me.
I once saw a hair salon called “Curl up and Dye”, I still laugh when I think of it!
Dave
We got a salon here in my hometown in Sweden with that name too. Best name ever.
By the way. I’m born in 77 and love old 70’s rock.
Oh, So True. i hated haircuts as a child. and i still don’t like them.
damn kids. get out of my salon!
Randy Newman was never subtle. The fact that “Short People” appears on the album _Little Criminals_ has always amused me to no end.
’70s hairstyles. I think you’ve opened up Pandora’s box here.
So … 2 or 3 minutes on the job and she’s up for murder charges is how I’m seeing this play out … 😉
Or, maybe she’ll just set the kid’s hair on fire. Accidentally-like.
BTW — I’ve worked food service and other similar such messy jobs. Lorraine will want to learn how to tie off her apron in the back. That bow knot is gonna get filled with hair bits. Rapidly.
Besides, I think it’ll look cute riding on top of her backside …
Careful, kids. You just gave her a perfect weapon to swat you with!
