Dear Diver:
I have often said that the goatee was the "mullet" of the '90s. Now, after experiencing almost three years post-Y2K, I believe that the frosted tips and/or the EMINEM bleach job is the mullet of the aughts. What do you think? - Pop Culture Fan
Dear Pop Fan, Normally I would defer this question to my dear friend Owen Dake, who at 30 enjoys a day at the salon for hair tinting and a regular frost as much as the next guy. But if you are looking for reassurance about stepping out as the Real Slim Shady, just remember that all those '80s band members had mullets and all of them had women dripping all over them. Some may say it was due to the fact that they were in a band, but I credit the mullet. Whatever the style you choose, stay tried and true. - Diver
Diver,
Does this town have any culture? I keep trying to
find some, but all I come across are the same old bars, same
old music and same old, same old. I just want some new experiences!

Marla in Durango
Dear Marla, Have you been in contact with my wife, because she plays that same old broken record? The way I see it, frequent those same ol' bars long enough (for example, Lady Falconburgh's Barley Exchange with 38 beers on tap, located at 640 Main Ave., in the historic district of downtown Durango, CO), and even that Western art that adorns so many of our local galleries will seem as if it belongs in the Louvre.

Interesting fact:

dishes at the ripe age of 11 and is still hard at it 22
years later

Diver,
Somebody vandalized my vehicle a few weekends
back. My tire was slashed and hood was keyed. How can I gain
revenge on an unseen enemy? Shall I just start being a late-night
thug, assuming everyone out after 2 a.m. is guilty?
- Brian
Dear Brian,
As an associate to the I Spy: Private Eye Detective Agency,
my recommendation would be to contact J. Little Beaver himself
to not only help in solving "who dunnit" but to enlist him
to personally keep after all of your effects. And if all
else fails, grab a couple of pals and start a band of late-night
vigilantes, arm yourself with some potato guns and take back
the night!

Diver,
What's the best way to discipline children? Thoughtful reasoning?
A switch, belt or wooden spoon across the butt? The silent
treatment?
-New mom
Dear New Mom,
I, too, find myself in the early stages of parenthood. Even
though my little one is only 9 months old, I have just recently
planted a willow tree in our back yard, because we've all been
teen-agers, and she'll think twice next time, when she has to
head out to pick her own switch.
