A man in Texas who said LASIK surgery was too expensive to correct his eye sight had the bridge of his glasses permanently pierced into his nose, according to a Local 6 News report.

 

James Sooy was tired of wrestling with his eyeglasses and instead of contacts decided to have a post pierced into his face for permanent lenses.

 

"These, you know they are stuck to my face, with the other ones, if they were pulled, they would just come off real simple," Sooy said. "They're easier to work with and there is no safety risks involved."

 

Obscurities owner and professional piercer Allen Faulkner said the piercing was like any other.

 

Sooy said the piercing fit his lifestyle.

 

Most medical experts warn that many piercing procedures could cause permanent damage.

If he had to do something dumb like that, why not just embed a magnet on the bridge of his nose?

Should be interesting when he goes for his cranial MRI (since the jerk is so stupid an MRI will be necessary to determine brain loss).

Wait until he hits about 40 years of age.....when presbyopia hits his eyes....LOL.....

I was looking at a site about 2 weeks ago about different piercings.

He'll be lucky if his body doesn't reject it and push it up and out of his skin.

There were some horrific pictures of rejections.

You do not want to do a Google picture search. LOL

Some of the men didn't have to worry that any PA ect. they may have had done would ruin them, I swear that my thumb is bigger than some!

I didn't know if I should be laughing or grossed out...ended up laughing.

I have several natural skin bridges (that's what I call them), that I can put earrings ect through and have no pain, unless they get pulled out that is.

I've had them since I was a kid, the one on my right thigh is the one I remember putting earrings in all the time.

Other than using an earring to clean them out every so often, I leave them alone and don't wear anything in them.

I would never get a real piercing.

Interesting. I am now awaiting the wave of young teenagers who are going to "crazy glue" a telephone to their head because their tired of having to pick it up.

And who says all Texans are "right wing conservatives"?

I have a feeling that the expression "here, hold mah beer and pierce this" was heard shortly before the event.

I dont have a comment about the glasses, but I am updated on NBA scores by looking at those screenshots

Ever notice that it's mostly the Goobers of this world that try to call excess attention to themselves? And that it just makes them look more Goobery?

"13 piercings and 11 tattoos are what it takes to get in the game They try so hard to be different but all end up looking the same."

In other news, Heff N. O’Brane, of Flyspeck WI has replaced his right index finger with the key to his car.

Mr. N. O’Brane explained, he has a habit of locking his keys in his car and estimates he has paid locksmiths more than two thousand dollars over the last five or six years to unlock his vehicle.

N. O’Brane pointed out the time lost while waiting for a locksmith was more aggravating than the cost.

N. O’Brane also pointed out keyed in on the advantage he now has over other nose pickers; “ I don’t stretch my nostrils out as much as others, which will make me more attractive to the ladies of my social circles.”……….BREAKING

What an idiot!

[Hildy]

What an idiot. Are we that lazy that we can't even put on a pair of glasses in the morning and take them off at night? Yikes.

Think about how often how often in a lifetime of wearing glasses that something gets snagged on your glasses and rips them off your face? Perhaps even leaving scratches and abrasions on your face as you move your head too close to some large, massive object which gets hooked on the frames. Or your were involved in some sporting activity where someone's hand flies by and yanks your glasses off your face, tearing the strap off your neck in the process.

Now think about the same thing happening if your glasses were held on at certain points of your face by being implanted underneath your skin.

This man is going to get his glasses ripped off his face sometime in the future (probably within the next couple of years) and he's going to get his face ripped up badly.

Too bad.

What about when he takes a SHOWER....if he does. What a Numb-nut.

How do I sign up for one of those? I'm a peircing junkie. I have 4 earrings on my left ear, 3 on my right and I'm getting a vibrating tounge ring this summer.

[crushelits]

How's he going to clean them?

Will he take a shower with the glasses on?

Maybe he should ad a couple of glass wipers that run from a mini batteries that hang from his ear...
