“Strange Tales From the Doc” #24<\/span>
Here\u2019s another \u201cGrowing up Strange\u201d story for you friends.<\/span><\/span>
 <\/span> <\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/div>\n

This one is all about the \u201cGreat Shaving Era\u201d. As I\u2019ve said before one of our rules (the only rule) was, \u201cIf you pass out you WILL get your eyebrows<\/a> shaved and you are not allowed to get mad about it\u201d. For the most part that held true. Until things started to get out of hand. Eyebrows were one thing but then that escalated into shaving<\/a> pubes<\/a>, giving fucked up haircuts, dying hair, marking on people etc\u2026 One of the best (worst?) was my buddy (he\u2019s like a brother to me) Gary. I\u2019ve known Gary since 3rd grade. Out of our entire group of friends Gary was probably the smartest of us all. His one downfall? He liked to drink and that always got him in trouble. Gary, Beaman and myself all lived together in a studio apartment<\/a> in Upland in the early 80\u2019s. And of course it became the \u201chang-out\u201d of all our friends. People drinking, passing out etc was the norm. One night in particular I had been out all night at a gig. Thus giving me the perfect alibi of, \u201cI wasn\u2019t even there, how could I have done that?\u201d But of course I always did\u2026<\/p>\n

I got home late to find Beaman asleep on the couch and Gary passed out in bed. I woke up Beaman and convinced him to shave Gary\u2019s eyebrows. And then his arm hair<\/a>. And then cut his hair. And then glue on his cut hair to his missing eyebrows. And then, here it comes, his pubes! Of course I was taking pictures the whole time while Beaman asked , \u201cYou\u2019re not getting me in the pictures are you?\u201d. I said, \u201cNo, no, don\u2019t worry I\u2019m not\u201d. (yeah, I was\u2026..). The night ending up with pictures of Gary getting shaved from head to toe and \u201crevealing\u201d pictures of Beaman \u201cTea-Bagging\u201d him [and more disturbing images I still can\u2019t get out of my head].<\/p>\n

The next day I ran over to the 1 hour Photomart (you should have seen the owners face when I picked them up!) and mailed these pictures to Gary with a ransom note I cut out from the pages of a magazine. Something like \u201cIf you don\u2019t leave $100.00 by the tree in front of your apartment we will send these to your Mom\u201d. AWESOME! He wasn\u2019t happy about it and I felt bad about it. I mean I felt bad I wasn\u2019t there to stop Beaman from doing this to him. What a dick! Pictured here are some shots of our studio apartment, shaving Gary and more nonsense\u2026.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
