They were different because the upper half of the frame was dark, and the lower half was translucent white-ish. (I think Bernard Herrmann wore them.) Anyway, I thought they'd died out with the last of the generation of men who died of old age in the 1970's. But I saw them in the drugstore, being sold to young men now.    Posted:   Jan 14, 2025 - 8:53 PM     By:   Josh   (Member)    Posted:   Jan 15, 2025 - 2:16 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) I believe they're called 'hornbriller' (horn glasses) in Norwegian, although I don't know its etymological origin. My dad wore those when he was young in the 60s and early 70s.    Posted:   Jan 15, 2025 - 6:43 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) I thought "Poindexter" was a cartoon character.    Posted:   Jan 15, 2025 - 7:55 AM     By:   Justin Boggan   (Member) Man, this thread is like Squaresville, man.

I'm going to give you a Princess Point, Josh.    Posted:   Jan 16, 2025 - 5:29 PM     By:   Sir David of Gromit   (Member) Man, this thread is like Squaresville, man. (draws a square in the air) A perfect reply. Another Princess Point!    Posted:   Jan 16, 2025 - 5:30 PM     By:   Sir David of Gromit   (Member) I'muh get me a pair! They're in the drugstores now, so they're cheap, Tafkaan. And if you're as old as you say you are, you're going to need cheaters soon.    Posted:   Feb 22, 2025 - 6:14 PM     By:   Josh   (Member) New year, new glasses. Thanks for the inspiration, Dibs!    Posted:   Mar 4, 2025 - 6:28 PM     By:   Sir David of Gromit   (Member) New year, new glasses. Thanks for the inspiration, Dibs! Today: wearing Bernard Herrmanns. Tomorrow: yelling at oboists.    Posted:   Mar 4, 2025 - 6:29 PM     By:   Sir David of Gromit   (Member) and.... you're welcome, Tafkaan.     Non-Film Score Discussion: Poindexters are back    < 1  >   Go to page:  1   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1
