Do I need a makeover? - Page 4

you could use a make-over....not a complete one like they usually do, but you definitely need some fashion advice and you could use a new hair style. But this is nothing your wife couldn't pull off, if she were so inclined.

Ya... I'm kinda "getting it" a little bit (compared to a year ago), but I need more advice to get me over the hump, so to speak.

But if you'd think it'd be fun and would help you sell some books, go for it. Could be a blast!

I think it's a cool idea. Bravo does poker stuff, after all.

I don't think you need a makeover. But, since you asked this sort of question, I do think you need to lose some weight.

Ya, I have about 40 pounds to lose. Lost 50 so far since college, though, so hopefully I'm more than halfway... [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Good luck sir.

Wow Ed. You have a huge wang, yet it is oddly coloured and shaped.

It's called icthyowangatosis. It's caused by the same fungus as elephantiasis. When it flares up, I just spray tough actin' tinactin on it, and it's all good for a while.

1) thrash your house
Check. Four cats and two human slobs can make a tiny apartment look bad pretty quickly.

2) Make sure you leave some weird underwear on the floor so Carson can make his "icky" face.
That's easy. Ed already does that.

5) grow a unibrow to give Kyan or whatever his name is something to do
Kyan I think. He's the hot one. Ed can grow a unibrow in about 5 minutes [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

7) invent a reason you want to do all this
we're thinking maybe a book release party or a DVD release.

8) hide any really nice furniture you have
we don't have any. It's all hand-me-down mismatched stuff.

Thanks, this is good stuff.

I agree with you guys, though, that he doesn't need a makeover. I think he looks great. The problem, though, is that his image doesn't convey his success. You know? People outside of the poker world meet him and think he's just some guy. They don't even believe he wrote his books until they see his picture on the back. They look at him and think he's a college student who shops at Target, not a pro poker player who's got his act together.

The problem, though, is that his image doesn't convey his success.

Not sure how much living in a tiny apartment with hand-me-down mismatched furniture is going to help this image.

You do realize that you're not supposed to button the bottom button, right?

[/ QUOTE ]

Buttoning the bottom button is a sign you were poorly raised, plain and simple.

Where's the pic of Ed in the MGM poker room pointing and winking? Hide that one because you look pretty cool in it.

Subject: Las Vegas - Ed Miller

I think you should choose Ed Miller to be on your Las Vegas show. He's a nerd in need of help (MIT, Microsoft programmer, etc.), he's in the zeitgeist (as you can see from his webiste/books, he is a "noted poker authority"), and he's photogenic. Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions.

The fish picture is NSFW. Any pictures of Ed Miller may be NSFW.

Hug the fish, don't hump the fish

i am in favor of this, not because i think you need a makeover though.

I agree with this. I'm going to fill out the application just because I'd love to watch you on T.V. make an ass out of yourself, but I like how you dress. You have a Weezer/They Might Be Giants quasi-nerd rockstar look to you and I think it works perfectly.
