I'm probably D-B'ing this but Chris Jones has the cover story in the August Esquire on John McCain.

http://www.esquire.com/features/articles/2006/060706_mfe_August_06_McCain_1.html

Jonesie can write like nobody's business.

The surgical scar from a nasty case of skin cancer that runs down the left side of his face—in stretches raised so that it catches the light, and then diving below the surface like a mineral vein—has cut away some of his former handsomeness. And his white hair is thinner than it once was. Despite that, however, and despite his tendency to squint and wince as if there were a bad taste in his mouth, and despite his stiff, robotic movements, permanent reminders of the nightmares of his youth, McCain can still make himself look hale, strong enough to run through a wall.

Besides being an awesome writer, he's a real mensch.
 
The two greatest feelings in the entire world have to be seeing your **** disappear into Jessica Simpson's boobs, and seeing "So-and-so Cover Story ... BY PLAIN OLD SPORTSED" on the cover of a major magazine.

I'm still working on what Jones has accomplished.
 
That was, um, descriptive. You definitely painted a picture though.

I don't understand what that sentence means.

I have part one of my two-part wish list taken care of ( ;D), now I just need a byline on a major mag.

Love that clicker commercial, Nick.

Post of the day.
 
Thanks everybody, JR especially. If I could just get two threads worth of praise each time I write a story, I could probably sustain a healthier ego.

Now I'm off to titty-**** Jessica Simpson, after which, my work here will be done.

Will she be enjoying the Frankenberry **** today?
 
I was thinking a little Count Chocula, if you know what I'm saying.
 
I saw the article on the newsstand and almost bought it - then I remembered I had a subscription :)

Tell her Slappy said Thanks again....
 
Hey Jonesy, I really enjoyed it and I don't give a rat's ass about politics.  How's that for a compliment.  :D
 
I saw this thread and immediately thought it had something to do with Jonesey's drinking prowess, knowing that a few of our kind recently raised pints with him. Which kind of begs the question of whether SJ is going to merit a reference or two in the article for which said pints were raised. I mean, a mention in Esquire couldn't help but add some legitimacy to this place.
 
I think we can put it this way novelist... Yes, Jones can write a little. And yes, Jones can drink a little.
 
Thanks, HC.

River: But at least the Esquire trolls would be well-dressed.

And spnited, thank you for coming up with my dream tombstone tribute: "Here lies Jones... He could write a little; he could drink a little."

If Jessica Simpson suffocates me to death with her tits, please forward my wishes to my next of kin.
