Best Jones?
Edited on Mon Jun-12-06 10:29 PM by undisclosedlocation
Without thinking about it, I get
Chuck
The Devil in Miss
Me and Mrs.
David (Monkees)
David (aka Bowie)
Basketball
Freddie
John Paul (sailor)
John Paul (Zep bass player)
Dean
and maybe the worst: Jim
not to mention Bob

and Google helps my aging brain with
Norah
Indiana
George
Quincy
Tom
Osmosis
Bridget
uhhhh, Jenny (she might meet somebody's idea of best)
Shirley
Bobby (golf, also basketball)
Tommy Lee
Catherine Zeta-
Mick (there's a Clash one and a Foreigner one; I know which one is likely to garner support as a Best Jones)
Jeffrey
Terry
Grace
Barnaby

and since The Daily Show's on as I type this
Jason

A poll is practically inevitable if this gets any response at all.

Edit: I vote Chuck.

Doesn't look like the threatened poll is going to happen, but thanks for the great suggestions.

21. Sadly, the only flavours any store around here carry are all the same...
And kinda boring. I really want to try berry lemonade, but not a single store here carries it.

7. Raymond Jones
My dad's across-the-road neighbor for sixty years and the best friend he ever had. A master carpenter whose cabinet doors never sagged and whose houses were an eighth of an inch out of square on his worst day.

Also one of the best guitar players I ever heard. I hope he lives forever!

:loveya:

9. John Paul Jones.
There's a multitalented individual, noted for his nautical command abilities as well as anchoring the band that invented metal.

For pure coolness, though, Grace Jones beats all comers with an oiled whip.

12. A great one indeed. I don't know how I forgot him,
except maybe that Jim blocked me on all kinds of James Joneses. Regardless, thanks for the great suggestion.

13. Brian? James Earl? Casey? Cyrano? You're missing a few.
Not surprising, since Jones is one of the most common English last names.

Interestingly, it's also the most common last name in Wales (many people with this last name are of Welsh descent).

I noticed that with these four names, I've placated Stones fans, Deadheads, Trekkies and Star Wars geeks.

I happen to fall into all four categories.

17. Where you been young man? I thought we'd lost you!
Great suggestions, as well. Insert red-faced smilie here for me forgetting Brian.
