I discreetly took this shot while riding the Vancouver Skytrain, marveling at the length of the mousy brown curls that cascaded down his back. I hope he didn’t get any hair caught in his bike chain on the way back to Surrey.

I was enjoying an espresso in the window of Cagibi, witnessing the many sights that Mile End has on display, when I caught a glimpse of this young fellow. Not only is the back of his head party to a rat tail double feature, but he is also stealing the wireless internet from just beyond the doorway, where a minimum purchase is not required.

 

Never mind not understanding the motivation behind a single rat tail, I wouldn’t even be able to conceive of two tails if I hadn’t snapped the picture myself. Rat tails have never been properly in vogue except with people who don’t own mirrors or never (ever) want to get laid. According to MulletJunky, a rat tail that trails past puberty could even be an indicator of much larger issues.
