Looking at our weblog statistics page, I learned that one visitor found us today after Googling “Sicilian Afro.” To my surprise, the top two results for that Google query are f/k/a posts:
- One post is about Brown v. Bd. of Ed and White Flight. It briefly described how having a Sicilian Afro provoked racial animosity in Southie.
- The other reminisces about the South Dakota Attorney General (later Governor), who was rather rude to me in public, thinking my Sicilian Afro made me look like a “foreigner.” The episode has made me sensitive to sterotypes.
I’ve inserted the above picture (of the future dagosan in 1971) at each of those posts, for the benefit of future searchers. Trust me, Mama G. greatly preferred this haircut, or these. Enjoyable search engine diversions like this always remind me that I have been neglecting our Inadvertent Searchee page.

You need to grow that beard back.
