Glasses

[Borodog]

Normally I am not one to post a "Help me pick out X thread," and I don't think El Diablo would stand for it in any event. Hopefully this will turn into a much more extensive thread than that, but this is the germ: I need glasses.

A little background. When I was a kid, I wore coke-bottle glasses with thick black frames. Horrible things, like Ralphie from A Christmas Story, but black rims. When I went to take the driver's license exam when I was 16, I decided wtf, and slipped my goggles into my pocket for the eye exam. I passed. At that moment I decided that if the State of North Carolina in its infinite wisdom was going to let me tool around in a 2 ton motor vehicle with unassisted vision, I was never wearing glasses again, and I haven't.

I still get along fine. But I'm 35 now. My eyes are very tired at the end of the day. My left eye is significantly worse than my right. I probably won't do lasik or anything like that. My wife wants me to get glasses; she thinks I'll look very professorial. I think she just wants me to look old to co-eds. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I have no idea what looks stylish in terms of eye glasses. I haven't worn them in almost 20 years now. I tried some on and they all looked horrific. With the obvious level of taste on display in the Going Out w/o Coming Out thread, I figured the El D.generates could hook me up.

So, help.

As payment for your help in this thread, you may photoshop me into the eyewear of your choice.



PS. The eye patch has been done.
