Listen to Paula, the voice of reason, not us jealous 40 year olds (well me anyway)
Good luck Dude.

Geo, I have asked the trainee to pop an extra sheet of decals in with todays parcel to you. If you can't think of anything else to whip out in embarrassing lulls in conversation, these should do the trick…..

G - anything else that could be whipped out would probably lead to an embarrassing lull . . .

@Beatle:

supacool . . . as per

and thanks for getting this thread back on track

I'm so disappointed.
I didn't think if have to explain my comments.
The timeless art of seduction…
No one gets a Seinfeld reference?

Giles

That's just what happens. Some of my posts that I think will provoke super duper OTT reactions just get missed.

It's a curse to be so clever, isn't it?

Giles

Jaco, that was meant for you, I believe….........

nameness

There you go, being clever again.

Jaco - I got the ref but remember your audience here. Something tells me people outside of the US use that show to illustrate how stupid Americans are.

Anyhow, ordered three pairs from SALT Optics, keeping these:

Will try to get some non-cell phone pics up at some point. Impressed by the quality so far.

Sorry Jacoavlu - went right over my head (not unusual :-[)

Geo

??? who is Seinfield?

nameness - those look superb, I looked through the link you posted previously and was mightly impressed. looking forward to seeing those on you

nameness

Yeah, the ones that originally had me looking at the brand were way too small for me. Luckily these worked out. Love the lenses on them, very sharp.

Still got an eye on those Ditas as a second pair…

Geo

well im thinking about the Dita Sirs as sunglasses but this Salt stuff looks more than decent

nameness

Those Ditas look good and they will in another 10yrs. I ordered the following from SALT:

Vance (too small but very nice, maybe a bit too on-trend also):

Wyatt (the ones I kept):

McGinley (too sporty):

http://www.saltoptics.com/shop/detail.php?id=51&pageindex=12&categoryid=2&orderby=1&prod_type=2

The Wyatts are sporty-ish but when you see them square on they're more angular (vs. the McGinleys).

Seinfeld was one of the more popular American sitcoms ever, ran in the 90's. The show centered around Jerry Seinfeld, a comedian, and his 3 friends. I will be brief re: my reference, and I'm just going from memory here…

George dropped off some film at a photolab where a nice looking lass worked, and through conversation he gets the idea she's looked at his pics, and perhaps she's interested, though she's a bit out of his league ... then he finds a seductive picture of a lady mixed in with his developed pics, and assumes it's from the lass at the photolab ... he wants to ask her out but Kramer (wacky neighbor) encourages him he must play the game a little, making reference to "the timeless art of seduction", and offering to help George out in a photo shoot... leading to...

of course it was all a misunderstanding, and comedy ensues…

So Geo, when you talked of the pretty lady at the opto office and her little hidden message to you, well, you gotta play the game a little...

Geo

i like the Vance - surprised you think they are small - they are the same size as my Statesman

but the Wyatts are much nicer than the McGinley imo too

i have a fancy for these, but the might be a little too rounded on the lens

and these are really lovely, but I am a fan of Kaneko

maybe on the small side again though

jacoavlu - i knew who Seinfield was/is . . . was just demonstrating the point that everyone makes a joke that is too clever/dumb/subtle . . . this being a great example of my humour not travelling too well

at least you were funny

nameness

Maybe I have a fat face? When I said small I just meant too small for me. They pinched the shit out of my temples and proportionally didn't work. Out of respect for you, I didn't try on the Ditas, but I did notice they're about the same size.

I like those Kaneko and they seem to fit your steez. The clip-on idea with the Illestevas is a little much, personally. I assume you could just get sunglass lenses put in.

reminds me of the episode where George misplaced his glasses and get a new frame out of the Gloria Vanderbilt collection, remember this one… Madame ...

doubt there is much fat on you anywhere brother . . . you should have triad the Dita's - wouldn't have minded in the slightest

the clip-on is a little over the top - in a funny way i think that's what first drew my attention - kinda retro thing

anyways beautiful choice on the Wyatts - enjoy and post some pics (of that chubby little face ;D) up as soon as?

plus you seem to be on the ball with cool weblinks . . . so keep them coming too
