Ponytail Patrol, indeed
How can you not love a site that has gems such as this:
Next year I vow to bring a Ponytail Patrol with me. It needs to be two people, at least: one to come up behind the victim and gently push his face down, and a second to have the scissors at the ready.
Last night in the bar there was a fellow sitting across from me who had not only a scraggly ponytail in the back, but a twisted 13" beard hanging off his chin. I was transfixed with horror.

Heh. It took me until about 2001 to get rid of my last ponytail. Eventually you just have to accept the fact that certain things don't work anymore.
I think a proper patrol, especially here in the Silicon Valley, should target more than just pony tails though, e.g. wannabe beards on men who can't grow sufficient facial hair, fedoras and any other number of other dorky hats worn by Star Trek convention regulars, men who wear black shoes and dark pants with white socks, etc.
Well, see. The ponytail thing is actually very fraught in my house, as P. had one until recently. There is also a fedora in the house. But no white socks with dark shoes & pants. Even we, in the House of Geek, don't go there.
