Multiple Choice Question

So I got new glasses. I have trouble seeing at distance and my night vision also illicites “tsk-tsk” noises from both my eye doctor and my wife.

Small note about my eye doctor. Reha goes to her and Re made the appointment for me. But she (the doc) is probably the meanest eye doctor on the planet. She’s abrupt. She fusses at you. Terrible bed/chair side manners. For example (maybe this is just me being goofy): I had been having some odd pain in my left eyelid, on the south side of my eye. More annoying than painful, but I mentioned the pain on the form. Felt like something was stuck in it. She took a gander and said that indeed there was something stuck there. So she numbed my eyeball up and had me put my head on a chin rest. She shined a really bright light in my eye and swabbed my eye with a big ol’ über Q-tip thing. Got whatever was in there out.

Except!

When she originally swabbed with the Q-tip, I flinched and blinked (overpowering her fingers which were prying my eye open and moved my head. “You have to keep your head still!”

“I’m sorry, it was pretty much an involuntary reaction to the stick in my eye.”

“Well, your eye is numb, and I’m holding your eyelids open, but you have to control your head.”

“Which is a little tricky to do when you have a giant tree poking into my eye!”

“Well, try to keep it still.”

Right, I’ll do just that.

Anyway… this is me with my new glasses:

Tell my what you think:

Are the glasses?


You may only comment on the GLASSES! Not my lack of hair (I need a trim), my weird looking nose or the ginormous zit that used to be on my cheek that I cloned out in Photoshop.

  1. Dang it, now I can’t get the “hero” glasses, because what if we show up at the same party wearing the same glasses!  Way to never think of me.

    The glasses look good. I’m so blind I can’t wear rimless glasses.

  2. Oh man, sorry about that. Go ahead and get the “Hero” glasses. If we show up at that same party, I’ll put mine away. I can live without them for a while. But I’d never live down the shame of showing up someplace wearing the same thing as someone else!

  3. Wow. You *really* look like-- well, no. No, you don’t.

    But still.

  4. Live from Osaka!

    Your nose is way to big to be a nihonjin. And you’re way too tall. I’m tall in Japan.

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

 

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
