Sorry if this isn’t the right forum to post the question in, but could someone let me help me out with today’s link: [Need an attorney? Need one bad? Here you go.](http://www.bcm-law.com/Bio/MichaelBrandow.asp?) I’m not sure what I’m missing. Is this a fellow Doper? Is it because of the slightly bug-eyed look? (If so, that’s a bit odd for making it to a WE.) Is there something else I’m missing? ---

That picture looks like he’s from one of those horror movies where a guy is possessed by a demon on Halloween, and that’s what he’s chosen to put on his website? I think it’s hilarious, but I’m easily amused. ---

Allrighty then… I got that it was an odd picture, but it also struck me as an odd link to make it to WE. That is, while not everything can be as great as Opal’s Bubble Wrap, linking to an unfortunate picture seems, oh, I don’t know. I’m not complaining at all, I just wanted to be sure that there wasn’t something more to it than “hey, look at this bad picture.” ---

This guy looks like he would not only chase the ambulance, he’d gnaw on the tire when he caught it. Definitely the kind of lawyer you want on your side of the table. ---

His picture reminds me of the Friends episode where Monica and Chandler go to get their engagement pictures taken, and Chandler just can’t look natural. [Link.](http://i.tbs.com/v5cache/TBS/Images/Dynamic/i23/friends_episode151_337x233_032020061513.jpg) ---

Even so. I’ve earned my seat by Hell’s own Kitchen long before this thread, I’m afraid. No disrespect to this attorney who no doubt is a fine gentleman. ---
