omg... up the stakes... MAKE US BRING YOU THE TAIL!

tiffany:
Nancy--I hope you do win!! I would love to see some Cottonwood rat-tail action. :)
Too bad we don't still live in TX, because we'd win for sure.

Ha Janna. OK. It is not necessary for you to bring me the tail, just photograph it LIVE. At this point, we should probably discuss how points are tabulated. Photo of a Human Rat Tail = 2 points Photo of a Human Mullet = 1 point Actual Human Rat Tail = 3 points (Mullets must have traditional "business in front and party in back style" with significant delineation between the party and the business.)

That guy kinda looks like a chubby version of Dann Farrelly. :) hehe.

janna:
do you get any "gender bonus"? ... like a woman with a mullet or rattail?...
p.s. i'm going for the actual tail... getting the most points is the best way to win... and i'll leave it in the actual "tail" style so there is no question of cheating.

POINTS CLARIFICATION: We are gender neutral on point allocation. Rat Tail points are the same for males and females. However, there will be one 5 POINT BONUS awarded to whoever captures (via photo) the most non-traditional human rat tail. For example: a rat tail sported by a woman in her late 60's or a 40 year-old man wearing a suit. You get the idea. Pray them in people...there is Peet's coffee on the line here.

SUGGESTION: Pool your findings with a friend to increase your chances of winning. Let's hunt down these hair manifestations and document them or better yet...remove them and get 3 points!
ms_amazing:
omg!!!! I saw a woman in her 60's today with a braided rattail!!!!! Guess what....I'm not allowed to have my phone on me at Macy's AND no one's not allowed to take pics in the store. sigh....
ms_amazing:
very serious...I suffered from a rising excitement to a major down in that I couldn't capture it. I suppose Janna is right, I do have scissors in the drawer...

tiffany:
Next time that lady enters the doors of Macys, be ready to chop that sucker off!
at 11:25AM 11/15/08
ms_amazing:
oh I will!!! I'll carry the scissors around from now on!

scottpewitt:
Ken... what do you mean pictures are good enough? I already cut and ran off with three. All that work for nothing!
at 09:14PM 11/15/08
ken:
No, Scott. That means that you have 9 points now instead of just 3! You're doing great!

bekah:
Hey. We need proof. Show us your kill, Scott. What will you do with the hair? Mount it on a wall? Laminate and frame it? Christmas ornament?

hmmm I think people living in Redding have a distinct advantage. The redneck population (per capita) has got to be pretty high... but maybe I can drive to an outlet mall in Buffalo. If I can spend 24 hours in upstate New York ya'll are gonna lose!

weafer:
fantastic contest idea Ken! seriously I am going to be on the HUNT for business people with rat tails and mullets.
Oh do Fashion mullets count? Like the kind Greek and Portuguese guys are sporting?
at 04:11PM 11/16/08
ken:
you'll have to submit the entries for my reivew, Aaron. I'm unfamiliar with these new "Fashion Mullets." :)

weafer:
really? I'll post one and you'll have to let me know. but Ken, if I win what am I going to do with a Hebrews gift certificate?
at 12:51PM 11/17/08
weafer:
do you think they'll accept it at Tim Horton's?
at 12:52PM 11/17/08
ken:
I suppose I could make it at a SBUX card if you win.
katieann:
I just read this today...and you ALL WILL LOSE!!! I live in Idaho and it's the holidays which means I'll be seeing my family...which means I'll have like 20 of them!!!!
ken:
@Bekah: If you can find a mullet on a rat, that will count for 10 points! @Janette: And you ANGRY EYES! @Katieann: Clean up, girl!

artista:
I have a photo of a grandma in her 60's at K-mart with a rat tail. It's a year old though, does that count or must it be recent?I live in Oregon now, it's quite the rage here still...
ken:
Arista: So far you are winning. You have 6 points! 1 point for a rat tail photo and 5 points for Most Unusual Rat Tail Award. Someone could one-up you, though, and steal the 5 points. Good going!
ATTN: OFFICIAL CONTEST KICKOFF! I will personally give a $20 Hebrews Coffee Shop Gift Card to whoever posts the most actual, LIVE photos of human rat tails between now and Dec 25, 2008. Cheaters will be prosecuted and punished to the fullest extent of
