Earl The Pearl's Glasses?

[theirlaw]

I remember watching a match recently, I think it was the Mosconiu cup, where Earl was wearing red lensed glasses. Then I spotted his face in an add for http://www.eyelights.com/..

Earl, I know you're occasionally here.. Are these what you were wearing? Do they help?

Thanks

James

Yes, those are "Eyelites" and he like them very much.

I think the glasses are just a moneymaking gimmick. Earl won five U.S. Opens WITHOUT the glasses, so I think I'll wait until he wins five more WITH the glasses (or, maybe six).... If the glasses prove to be a big success, I may come out with a commercial line of my "Tin Foil Hats"... imo

I think he finally took off the glasses in the later rounds of the World Pool Championships.

If he put on a blindfold, then we might have a chance.

This site shows a clearer picture of the glasses, but I don't remember those red rim things... Very strange, what are those rims for? They don't look necessary!

Those actually go under the eyelids - so you can give your opponent the Earl eye pop-out look and really shake them up!
