So my options are now: 1.  Little scouring-pad Mohawk like Travis Bickle, Elderly Mr. T, etc. 2.  Real spiked Roman centurion Mohawk like the person who would be     your dorm roommate in a bad comedy movie. 3.  A normal, regular hair_style_ like I already have. 4.  Shaved head. 5.  Something really bizarre, like shaving a checkerboard into my head     and gluing strips of bacon to my eyebrows. you've considered the Vyvyan Basterd at some point, right? http://www.fortunecity.com/lavender/shaft/857/university_challenge.JPG http://www.michael.phatcatz.net/awtv/Comedy/SoundVision/bambi-mascot.jpg the downside is that it works best with heavy _meta_l t-shirts. butting

What's the official name of the like-a-Mohawk-but-without-any-shaving _style_, anyhow?  I mean this one (which wins the URL Says It All award):   http://images.usatoday.com/life/gallery/uncool/mohawk.jpg     mirrored at   http://www.kibo.com/pix/2006_01_not_a_mohawk.jpg I have heard it called a faux-hawk before, but it is only available from the places where you get your hair cut for more than $90 (tossers!)

The young people today use epoxy.  Which seems a little extreme, but I am sure cuts down on personal grooming time.  Just a little Lemon Pledge (tm) and you're done! Marie

Dude, if you can't figure out how to mess up your own hair, you _deserve_ to be paying people $90 to squirt Elmer's Glue into your hair. Elmer's Glue is a common choice for spiked hair, since it shampoos out easily (Elmer's dissolves in hot water.)  I did my experiment with Beyond The Zone Pro Formula Spike It Orange Hair Cement (because it was a darker shade of orange than my hair, which made the horrible- looking fauxhawk more prominent) but clearly from the smell of the stuff it's just Elmer's Glue plus orange dye plus a hint of lemon. If I ever do a Mohawk for real I'll just buy lots of Elmer's so that it won't cost any significant money to shampoo it out every night. I assume I can just stir a little orange dye in. I dare you to go into a beauty-supply store and say, I'm tired of paying $90 for bad hair, I want you to sell me a tube of Beyond The Zone Pro Formula Spike It Orange Hair Cement! all in one breath without cracking up.  Because they wouldn't be able to charge $4.49 for a tube of Beyond The Zone Pro Formula Spike It Orange Hair Cement if they called it what it really is, Orange Kiddie Glue With A Really Long Name That Makes You Dopey If You Ever Say It. I particularly like how the ingredients on stuff like this always use technical terms for everything in order to impress you.  In this case, the first ingredient is WATER (AQUA) .  Because people who buy junk like this might not know any words for water in a living language. You know, I was thinking.  Muzak tends to play stuff from almost exactly two decades ago
