I spoke to the chap and it turns out he's blind in one eye and far sighted in the other so a monocle is the obvious (and incredibly strange) solution.
Note: Before meeting this dude, I had never in my life seen a real live man with a monocle. Has anyone else?
This is justweird
ReplyDeleteHey I have a new idea for a villain. How about Monocle. He would have a monocle, and shoot laser beams, and be evil... and stuff. Well it sounded good on paper."

Glasses with plain glass in the blind eye is the way I would have gone with this.
ReplyDeletefgvpt. whoops. that was the word verification.
I have, once, a gent pulling into a petrol station.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I wear one. Though I've only been wearing pince nez (templeless, like FDR) since my prescription changed. I haven't gotten a new lense for the monocle yet.
Well, gentlemen, I am flattered by the attention and indeed the photograph. I had no idea it would be plastered all over the world. A researcher in the Library brought it to my attention. Oh on the subject of a "villain" my son was rather impressed and being a Star Wars fan, came up with Darth Monocle! What do you think? Yours truly, "The Dude" Librarian (aka Brian de Bois Guilbert)
