Esquire's "most gripping story you will read this year."

I know. And I'm totally cool with it. But I'm taking you with me. And while I'm taking a "leave of absence" from this place, I can empty my bank account and drive to New York and we can get drunk together and talk about the good times. I just hope I can afford enough Johnny Walker Black label so you don't have to drink a tumbler of cough syrup in the morning just to deal with the shakes.

 

Boom, let me help you out since I know you're furiously searching through old posts to try and find something to embarrass me. I am insecure. I'm hopelessly optimistic. I'm a liberal pussy. I write odes to girls in high school I did nothing but hold hands with. My dad almost died of a heart attack. I've had my heart broken by too many girls too count. I wanted nothing more out of life than to be a long-form feature writer at a magazine and haven't quite made it. I worry that my stuff isn't good enough. I like Barrack Obama. I tend to critique stories of people infinitely more talented than I am. I'm a hopeless dreamer.

What else you got?

Besides beer-stained Brooks Brothers ties, I mean?

 

Double Down is also down with Ryan Adams. DD also makes obscure lyric references, as well as gets them by other posters.

 

I like Barack Obama too.

 

Awesome. I'm sure this means we can be friends again.

 

Ragu - nice example you are setting as a moderator.

 

Congrats, Jones. Sorry about the shit that got smeared on the back half of this thread.

 

Where's your real name Ayn?

 

Excellent - Johnny Walker black it is,

PS Barack only has 1 "R' and not 2 as you spelled it .

 

Think that pretty much covers it.

You've ridden on your girlfriend's coattails as far as this place goes. Intellectually and in terms of class, you are out of your element here, Boom. You always have been.

And you don't deserve to lick Chris Jones' shoes.

We'd all be better for it if you went away.
