Esquire

In related news, our very own Jones has a story about his, ahem, oversized Spaldings in the most recent Esquire.

I know that I never want to be asked to a party on a banana boat.

 

Nice feature about Shaq and how he's going to help LeBron win a title this season. I understand lead times and magazine deadlines, but why not run that last month? Why risk running after the Cavs are bounced from the playoffs?

 

Wrong mag, Inky.

When I read Esquire, I start thinking about winning the lottery. Then I wonder, "even if I had $100 million, would I really spend $30k on a watch or $800 on a cashmere travel pillow?"

 

Page 132 of the newest issue (with Miranda Kerr and her bra on the cover) is a profile of Shaq by Scott Raab. It arrived two days ago. Almost two weeks after Shaq's team was eliminated.

 

I've paid no more than $100 for a suit, for the one time a year I wear one

 

NO OUTING!

 

I'm not sure I've ever bought a suit.

I've owned two that were gifts, I believe: A white one (shade of Steve Martin or Tom Wolfe) and a beige one (shades of, well, maybe nobody).

Otherwise, the Navy blazer has done fine for me over the years -- but oddly, I can't find my latest one.

I will not be on the cover of Esquire/GQ anytime soon.

 

Provably and demonstrably helped me pull chicks.
