I actually had a really good friend who had a full goatee in the 7th grade.....so it isn't really outlandish, just rare.

CW's 90210 spin-off is getting another familiar face: Peach Pit owner Nat!
Actor Joe E. Tata tells the Associated Press that he just wrapped up shooting the pilot episode, airing September 2.
He says he is still uncertain if he'll return to the show permanently.
"The coin's in the air for me," the actor, 71, says. "I guess it comes under the heading of magic test: Let's see if the audience still remembers me."
Tata - who describes Nat as a good guy, always there to help out" - says people still stop him on the street after all these years.
"Cops and firefighters say to me, 'I used to watch the show - I mean, my wife did, or girlfriend,'" he said. "But they knew more about the show than I did."
Jennie Garth, who played blonde rich girl Kelly Taylor on the original series, will star in several episodes as a high school guidance counselor.
Tori Spelling will reprise her role as Donna Martin in one episode.
And Shannen Doherty (a.k.a. "Brenda Walsh") is in talks to star on the show.
Garth - who once got into a fistfight on-set with Doherty - said she is thrilled her former co-star may be cast.
"A lot of time has passed, and I'm a big girl," she recently said. "I'd have no problem with her coming on the show."
