Major League Cuts
I’m well aware of the irony of maintaining such a light posting schedule after posting a note about my steadfast refusal to give up blogging. I haven’t run out of steam; I was merely enjoying spending time with my girlfriend while I had her in town. She’s gone again for a little while, but if you don’t hear from me for a bit, it’s because the new Will Wright game, Spore, came out today, and this might end up being like that time three years ago when I took a week’s vacation from work to visit San Andreas. Right now, Spore is still sitting in its wrapper beside me, since I have a little freelance work to do today and I dare not unwrap it until I’m done. Of course, since it was supposed to come out something like three years ago, I suppose I can wait a little longer.
Anyway, I’m just stopping in to mention that when I was walking back from Gerrard Square, where I picked Spore up, I noticed a business on Pape Avenue called Major League Cuts. I assume this is a hairstylist, though I question the wisdom of patterning one’s hairstyle after a professional sportsman’s, be it a fauxhawk or a mullet. But, I suppose there is an outside chance that what happens when you walk into Major League Cuts is that a man dressed in a coach’s uniform will immediately take you aside into his office, sit you down, and break the news to you that you’re being cut from the roster and sent down to the Triple-A affiliate.

Have you planned out what sorts of creatures you’re going to create?
Weird. I got Spore at G-Square today too.
Is Major League Cuts like Sports Clips? Sports Clips was a salon in Texas that catered to sports enthusiasts. Their slogan: “We cut hair. You watch sports. Repeat every four weeks.” Really.
Scott: I built some before it came out with the downloadable Creature Creator, but none of them will be used. It’s only when you play the game that you see how to build them most effectively. Anyway, it’s more fun to start in the primordial ooze. I’ve started three games so far, and I kind of enter with a basic idea of what I want (e.g., a one-legged, one-armed creature), but things always change.
Gloria: Clearly I’m stalking you. Watch out — I have +5 to Sneak.
Would Super-Cuts count as AAA? Because the lady there gave me a major league knuckleball of a haircut. Baseball puns are awesome.
Gloria: Sport Clips is exactly as you described, except that it’s prohibitively expensive, very loud, and they show whatever sport happens to be on at the time, not necessarily the one anyone wants to watch. If it’s the early afternoon, you can bet the LPGA Tour will be on at Sport Clips.
I get my hair cut at the Tommy Lasorda of barbershops: old-school, Italian, and always ensconsced in blue.
Having driven by (but never actually entered) Major League Cuts, I’ve always assumed it was a specialty Barber Shop devoted to the hair styles from the movie “Major League” – the kind of place where I could walk in and say “Give me the Dorn.” The barber would then take this into consideration, and respond, “Sure, the Dorn – that’d be all right. But I really think you’d look better with a Willie Mays Hays.” “Yeah? Maybe you’re right. Then again, fuck it. Just cut some lightning bolts into the back of my head. I want the Ricky ‘Wild Thing’ Vaughn.” You know, something like that. And then I’d go home, and my wife would just divorce me on the spot.
