Several movie characters have come to mind frequently when trying to quantify Fionn's coiffure: Yahoo Serious from Young Einstein, Beetlejuice, Val Kilmer in Real Genius. And the rockstars: John Liden, aka Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols, B.A.D., etc. He's much more handsome than John Liden, however, if he wants to be a rockstar I'm all for that. That would be one thing I'd live vicariously for.
If Junior has tapped into a cosmic source of energy, his hair is the conduit for transporting the other-worldliness, the worm-hole, his own personal infinite improbability drive. Douglas Adams would agree I think.
We all need a physical metaphor or two to suggest a hint of unique-ness in the world, ants can tell each other apart by chemical signature, I believe mine would be the tooth gap, and some say I now resemble David Letterman for that distinctive feature. I could do worse I suppose, I was more hoping for an ancient Sumerian Warrior with a notable gap, or at least one of the swarthy characters of the Spaghetti Westerns. I guess I'll take what I can get.
For now Fionn's will be his hair, I'm sure other notable features will diverge from just the hair but that works for me. My 3-month old has the do of a network news anchorman standing out in hurricane-force winds. Like he received the Heat Mizer blast straight out of the womb.
Outstanding.
I pray that the mullet never becomes cool again.
