Skip=200? Really now, people! It was only Thursday!

Did I mention that my dad shaved his head? When I say that, I mean his entire head, not just the top -- basically everything but the eyebrows. He looks like....

...the naked mole-rat

...somebody should hand him a picture of the Pope to tear on live TV

...his sister, my Aunt Sharon, after she had chemo

...a blotchy Uncle Fester

...the ass of that hairless beed of cat -- the sphinx, I think?

I'm not kidding here. It's terrible. He shaved off his mustache a couple times when I was little (and scared the dickens out of me), but never anything this drastic. I can't look at him when I talk to him.

And of course, no doubt because my mother and I hate the new look and are not hesitant to tell him so, he thinks it's just the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Haha, that mention of mustache-shaving reminds me of when I was little XD My dad had a huge black beard, and when I was about 5, he cut it off - I couldn't recognize him AT ALL. I was getting the milk off the front porch, and he came out to get it, and I looked up and screamed "MOMMY! A STRANGE MAN IS TRYING TO STEAL THE MILK!!" ^^ Ah, childish naivety.

My stepmother insisted my dad shave his (large, Father Christmas style) beard for their last anniversary so that she could see what he looked like underneath it. Apparently he came down from the bathroom, she took one look, and then said, "Ok, James, you can start growing it again now." I've seen pictures of this momentous event and I agree: he looked more scarily like my gran than anything else.
