Have You Seen The Mullet Man?

An election hanging in the balance on Bridgeport's uncounted ballots... Former Stamford Mayor Dannel Malloy ascendant... the center of power in Connecticut has never seen its focus shift so dramatically as it has now to lower Fairfield County. Lurking in the summer and autumn nights, a harbinger foretold our anointing. From his native land of New Haven Towne he turned, traveling the coast to make more frequent appearances in The City That Works. I speak none other than The Nature Boy aka The Mullet Man Ric Flair of New Haven!

The gentleman first caught my eye in the Brick House weeks back, adorned in a suit and brandishing a mullet that would make the year 1989 kneel down and beg for mercy. At one point he approached a beer mirror and raised a hand to his mane, only to pause and realize it was perfect - not a single hair on the business or party end required further attention at the moment.

The experience stuck with me and when I mentioned it at a gathering days later parties in attendance spoke that they knew of the character before I could even finish the tale. He was identified as the Mullet Man - a fixture on the New Haven County bar scene. His Facebook fan page alerted me that he has increased his exposure as of late in Downtown Stamford. Further research indicates he is also infamous on the amateur & professional wresting fan circuits nationwide.

My field study is not yet complete - but there are several key characteristics you can use to identify the New Haven Nature Boy.

- Sweet mullet.
- Slick suit.
- Four finger hand gesture indicating his affiliation with the "Four Horsemen" wrestling stable
- Hair brush - holstered in pocket, often utilized in the reflection of back bar or decorative beer mirrors to brush hair.
- Fur coat - weather appropriate.
- Pouring and drinking Heineken a sip at a time from a glass. (Although I've heard conflicting reports on his beer of choice.)
- Ladies abound.

While we seek to determine his intentions, I suggest all gentlemen keep close tabs on their women.

* Before I'm accused of picking on someone for their hairstyle and dress - all indications point to The Nature Boy aka The Mullet Man Ric Flair of New Haven breaking the first law of mullitude - wearing his mullet ironically. Not in a "hipster" sense, but perhaps more in a "wrestling gimmick" sense.
