What a spectacle>>>>>>>>>>

I just was thinking about JJ's vintage spectacle frames.

Now I looking for some answers.

Are they made of gold?

14k, 18k or 24k?

Hollow or solid?

Hidden hinge?

Is there a laser logo?

Can hairline scratches been polished out?

Where can I buy one?

Is it possible to get a discount?

Can I get one from a dealer?

Will the protective stickers be in place or have the AD pull them off?

Did I have to get a special insurance?

Will my wife atill love me?

Will JJ still talk to me?

Or should I get some sleeping pills when I have these thoughts when I go to sleep?

The lenses were made from JJ's first two pocket watch crystals.

And...... MARK! There! Just pushed the stop button on my Daytona...


Well gang, exactly 3 hours, 27 minutes and 49 seconds since the last time we had a thread picking on JJ... Hey! That's a new TRF record!


Poor JJ...


(You know JJ... putting me on the Tosser list would probably reduce the number of these threads! I just have a feeling.... ).

JJ has installed a detosser program on his computer. I had to install a tosser upgrade package to contunue giving him a good ribbing.

I think those glasses would look good with some 1 inch wide, diamond cut, filagre decor on the sides. I'm sure he has a gold coin necklace, and pinky ring too.
