    A young New York City boy’s dream of a western shave and a haircut

  2. Scott Simon February 1, 2024 at 8:28 am

    Gotta big date with a gila monster!

    1) Pete: “You and I are the last two people on Earth after the Apocalypse. Why do keep insisting on a shave every morning?”
    John: “Because you never know when the aliens might return. I want us to look civilized”. Pete: “Oh, right. That makes complete sense!”
    3) “I’m so excited, today is the day the aliens are returning. I want to look my best when we’re completely annihilated!”
    5) “I know you’re on the run from the law Jesse James, but this is ridiculous!”
    6) “Ha! The Indians won’t find us out here!”
    7) “Ha! The Zombies won ‘t find us out here!”
    7) “I said I wanted some privacy for my shave, but this is ridiculous!”
    8) “Sweeney Todd, Sweeney Todd, why does that name sound so familiar?”
    9) “Sweeney Todd, Sweeney Todd, why does that name sound so familiar?. Oh well, let’s get cuttin’!”
    10) “I still can’t believe that you and I are the last two people alive following the Apocalypse. What are the odds? Ha!
    By the way, what did you say your name was…Sweeney Todd?”
    11) “When I paid to come to WESTWORLD, this isn’t exactly what I had in Mind!”
    12) “When I paid to come to WESTWORLD, this isn’t exactly what I had in Mind. The brochure said there’d be dancing girls!”
    13) “Wow the teleportation device works great! Tomorrow I want a shave in Antartica!”
    14) “Wow, when you said you have very exclusive clientele, I had no idea!”
    15) “Can you turn on the air? It’s getting a little hot in here!”

  4. Alan Eames February 1, 2024 at 9:20 am

    So glad you happened by!

  5. James Justice February 1, 2024 at 9:40 am

    “Let’s make this a quick shave. I see buzzards circling.”

  6. Frank February 1, 2024 at 9:42 am

    Welcome to the Wild West Salon! I have skills sharper than a cactus needle and I can even make a desert mirage look sharp!

  7. Jeffrey Freeman February 1, 2024 at 10:05 am

    I’d walk a mile for a camel, but since I don’t smoke, I’ll take a haircut, and a shave!

  8. Jeffrey Freeman February 1, 2024 at 10:07 am

    Hey Joe, for a one chair barbershop, you have quite the ambience

  9. R Love February 1, 2024 at 10:28 am

    I always come to the desert to do my combo shave and colonoscopy special.

  11. Marty Kassowitz February 1, 2024 at 10:42 am

    Welcome to our distraction-free shaving service.

    Sorry about the sand in the hot towel.

    We call this the ‘true grit’ shave.

    Yes, we got a great deal on this land. Why do you ask?

  12. Judy Code February 1, 2024 at 10:56 am

    I dreamt last night that there used to be a whole town here. Silly me.

  13. Toby Burwell February 1, 2024 at 12:22 pm

    After days of looking for water, what Hezekiah found was oh, so much better.

  14. Toby Burwell February 1, 2024 at 12:26 pm

    “So tell me, how did the Great Basin Desert get its name?”

  15. Toby Burwell February 1, 2024 at 12:28 pm

    “Yes, and it doubles as a tanning salon!”

  16. Roger Scott Olsen February 1, 2024 at 1:03 pm

    Not all mirages are created equal, eh?
    They were right. You were worth the crawl.

  17. Rhonda Rees February 1, 2024 at 3:19 pm

    Another barren desert…

  18. Roger Scott Olsen February 1, 2024 at 4:29 pm

    So I’m dead? Cool. Leave the sideburns.

  19. Roger Scott Olsen February 1, 2024 at 4:33 pm

    He was in the desert and hungry, so he ate the sand which is there. Get it?

  20. Roger Scott Olsen February 1, 2024 at 4:35 pm

    So how’s business since moving from the city?

  21. Roger Scott Olsen February 1, 2024 at 4:37 pm

    No, never saw the musical Sweeney Todd, why?

  22. ANDRES LOPEZ February 1, 2024 at 6:17 pm

    Close your eyes…So with this yoga position we are going to imagine ourselves in the middle of a vast space, doing something that brings us special confort.

  23. ANDRES LOPEZ February 1, 2024 at 6:17 pm

    I can’t feel my face when I’m with you… but I love it.

  24. Tomas Arguello February 1, 2024 at 7:27 pm

    ” Like shaving a cactus”

  25. Tanya February 1, 2024 at 9:05 pm

    Yes, dry sauna and shave please.

  26. Dawn Biedermann February 2, 2024 at 7:53 am

    “So this is what they mean by dry shave “

  27. Diane Moore February 2, 2024 at 6:38 pm

    Don’t look…but…I feel as though we are being watched.

  28. Diane Moore February 2, 2024 at 6:57 pm

    No, no problem in finding you at all….they said you were just outside of Salt Flat and that if I got to El Paso I had gone too far.

  29. Toby Burwell February 4, 2024 at 6:46 pm

    Just curious, Sweeney Todd — why Death Valley?

  30. Sheila Jindela February 5, 2024 at 9:57 am

    Great location… not a lot of competition!!

  31. Sheila Jindela February 5, 2024 at 9:59 am

    Got a date with a pretty girl next territory over! By the time I get there I should have a nice 5 o’clock stubble.

  32. Michael Metzler February 6, 2024 at 12:39 am

    Yeah… but she MIGHT show up.

  33. Sheila Jindela February 7, 2024 at 10:35 am

    I’ve never seen you before. You must not be from around here.

  34. Sheila Jindela February 7, 2024 at 10:36 am

    I traveled a little farther than I usually would but you have great Google reviews.

  35. Bruce Bowden February 8, 2024 at 4:25 am

    “These millionaire survival courses get tougher every year.”

  36. Jack Lucas February 9, 2024 at 1:00 am

    Thanks, Pete. It was just too noisy back there.

  37. danny mann February 25, 2024 at 9:53 pm

    are those succulents new?

    oh and watch out for those pricks on the way out

    I swear those cacti getting closer!

    normally I don’t take walk ins, but…

    hey my grandfather used to say
    open a good barbershop
    and a town will grow around it

    really? NO gossip?

    ohhh yeahhh…
    that gummy’s definitely kickin’ in

    but after the wall didn’t happen
    I decided to stay anyway

    hey is there a nice lunch place around here?

    so how bout those diamondbacks, eh?

    I got the idea when HR merged with AI

    yeah I was working in HR
    and then left to work in AI
    that’s when it struck me…
    hey why not do HAIR!

    well I guess I know
    how you got your dry wit

    well it all started when
    my grandfather was rod serling’s barber

    this IS my dream job

    I can’t believe I’m having this dream again

    nope, this is my first time having this dream

    I like this dream way more than the one
    where I’m naked at a school assembly

    …so when the roadside fruit stand went under
    I figured I’d try this

    glad you could fit me in

    oh sure this is nice…
    but someday I hope to have a salon

    …oh do you validate?

    well your sign worked — next shave 300 miles

    did you have any trouble finding me?

    yeah but it’s a dry heat

    no you’re not boring me
    that was an actual tumbleweed

    what you need is an espresso machine!

    I wanted something quieter after that strip mall
