Gym, tan, winner.

I LOVE THIS PHOTO! It isn’t a mullet, it’s Jon Bon Jovi hair. I remember it well. A rather large woman who frequents my library, here in Tennessee, is still wearing a version of it. When it’s on a woman, I call it “Heart Hair”, as in Ann and Nancy. Dave, I’m grateful that you’re not still wearing it. And thanks for the update!
I too, applaud Dave for being such a great sport! And hey Dave, seriously….you need to find a way to get back at your sisters!
Wow, Dude, looks like a lady. O.O
Dave Barry! You are my hero. Kudos to you for being able to laugh at yourself. I may just fly to NJ to get some work done at your shop. I will be a Dave Barry Groupie!!! -Tiff in Houston
The one on the left is a girl. The next one over is a boy. The last two are kinda fuzzy. Batting 2-for-4 is okay isn’t it?
Dave the Mullet Hulkster’s the baby brother?! I guess having to arm curl 50 pound cans of hair spray and backcombing through that mane for hours on end to achieve that style would bulk up those biceps fast and maybe cause a growth spurt! It doesn’t look like his sibs minded hanging with him- maybe his older brother got to date Dave’s cast offs!
I’m just as confused as he is.
Can we all say AQUA NET?!
Hi, is the guy w/big hair and red shorts, Dave? From Paramus, NJ? ANd, used to work at North American Lobster??? Please let me know! :-0)
Dave Barry. Click “older comments” and you’ll see Dave’s own comments.
I ‘m not sure if I responded to this but yes that is me?
i can’t tell the gender of anyone in this photo
ick. glad I was too young during those partner pickin’ days…
Sorry but at first glance, the person in the red shorts looked like a female, but I guess not. “He” looks like a woman on steroids.
please show some respect and stop making fun. its not like you can bring home the gold for the East German women’s sprint team.
i am your #1 fan Marita Koch!
Question: On the right in the red shorts and the black top, is that a male or female?
Seriously, I can’t make it out.
so i think i just saw this guy perform as a Dee Snider stunt double last weekend in Vegas
Share clothes, that is…..
I swear that girl holding the stuffed animal is my cousin Wendy. YIKES
Didn’t they star in Eight is Enough?
Awesome photo, Dave… I laughed out loud, but only because my brother and I tried really hard to sport righteous mullets ourselves. (Maybe if we gathered up all the mullets we cut off in the early 90′s, we could plug up that oil leak in the Gulf…)
Can we say “who wears short shorts,” if you dare then wear Nair for short shorts.” And it does look like he did use Nair
Oh mylanta, is THAT a dude?
how did this guy not win the mullet contest?
Cause that’s not a mullett!!!
If Richard Simmons and Joe Piscopo had a baby.
Oh my! You are right on with that one. LOL
There is no chance that picture wasn’t taken in New Jersey…and it may have been taken this week…
wow ,his hair is sure a bouncin’ and behavin’. that mullet is so mighty it should have a halo around it!lol
NOTHING can say Milwaukee ’83 better than this. A Chrysler K Car and a Mid-West version of a Hollywood glam-rocker. (Why are his legs shaved? Even Brett Michaels didn’t go that far…) Love the Dolphin shorts, dude.
Wow. One thing you’ve gotta say for Dave, he’s always trendy!
Thanks for posting an update, man. You look WAY better with little hair and rad tattoos.
OMG. I’m so glad dave popped in. I NEER look at comment but I had to come JUST but chance I might see what Dave looks like now. Thanks for the update Dave. Funny pic
WOW. thats awesome! Congrats!!
Bonus points for identifying the gender of each of these characters, lol.
Frankly, I don’t care what gender the second from right with the stuffed toy is . . . That wicked little grin has won me over
Yep; back in the day I’d have been after her! (No offense, Dave!
)
I wish I had a video of this guy dancing and primping in his mirror…. he is so that guy!!! How did his goods keep from falling out of those shorts??I wonder what he looks like now??
Ha Ha Ha ! she said goods! if you click on my name you’ll be able to see were Im at now. And thank God my sisters didn’t have video’s or you would have probably seen them too. we also have three older sisters, here I am 40 and still picked on by my siblings!!!! i’t never ends.
Wow Dave. Saw ur site. Gues u weren’t scarred by the 80s. AT. ALL. LOL
That’s great we can see you now!
Whichever look you go for, you definitely go all the way with it.
That is not you, Dave, because I know who it really is.
AWWWWW! Dude what happened to the mullet?! You totally could pull it off! lol
This is great stuff. And I wish people would quit acting like they never took a crazy pic.
Looks like bohunk took off his Ferrari sunglasses to give us that “I rule” look.
It’s like a car accident, I can’t stop staring at it!
hahahahha
LOL! No kidding!!
Hahahahahaha me too.
OMG!!!! loooooooooooolll!!!
that guy is UNREAL
This would have been Kevin Bacon’s replacement in Footlose, Fuuuuuuuuuuuuu
I’m guessing this photo was taken in Jersey …
Or could it be Long Island?
Why, do guys shave their legs in Jersey?
SIGH, hurry up you guys, I’m late for my audition for “Cats”!
I laughed soooo hard at your comment Steph. awesome
Me too!
the girl in the tank top is HAWT.
Look again, lover.
I was definitely checking out his thighs, too. =]
My four year old just said, “what is it”?
This site really needs a ‘like’ button, LOL!
He’s even got the hairbrush! LOL!
I thought those were his “shades” dude lol
His future is so bright….
Dave. you’re a class act for commenting on the pic. plus I like your tattoo work. If I’m in NJ I’ll stop by. Rock on my friend….
Is that Leif Garret?? Ok now I can’t get “I was made for Dancing ” outta my head.
…. all, … all, …. all night long ….
did you say winner or weiner?
