My, Gentleman's Quarterly

For the past six months or so I've been receiving the magazine GQ, or Gentleman's Quarterly. Regardless of what you may think or have heard previously, it's a rather informative magazine. Recently the December 2007 issue arrived to my doorstep. On the front cover and within its binds were "The Years Big Winners".

This list included Kanye West, Alex Rodriguez and Bill Clinton.

Oddly enough, I have a different list.

Andy Rice-
This booking agent powerhouse made the big move from Seattle to Boston to land himself in one of the most prestigious households this side of the Mason Dixon line. He will now be forced to drink md 20/20 on weeknights and wait for Jeff to listen to Crime In Stereo's "...Is Dead" in its entirety before he can take a shower. The anticipation is even killing me, I need a Xanax.

Taylor Sullivan-
This year has been huge for "Taybird". He recently "punk'd" Jeff for the $50 he owed him right before he left for lovely Puerto Rico. And only earlier this year I over heard talks between Tay and a womenfriend (not to be named here!) about trading some Uggs, for who knows what... wow! Not to be outdone by the goatee he was sporting just in time for the winter cold. I expect nothing but the same in '08 from "Taybird".

Sean McNeil-
There are guys who are top performers, and are constantly on lists like these, year in and year out. Sean, is one of them. He's a big winner not only because he downed an entire caffeine free Diet Coke and then muttered a few second later ".....this isn't beer?", but, in the wee months of this year Sean really began to shine. It was a cold night in the North End, Sean had one too many pitchers of Newcastle Brown Ale, and upper decked Jeff's toilet with puke. This was after he ran out of the bar with the waitress he was trying to impress worked at, so she didn't see him puke. As a brilliant man once put it, "So... you're sayin' theres a chance." Yes, yes there is. THAT, ladies and gentleman, is a man at the top of his game.

There's so many more people I'd love to acknowledge here, but only have time for these big three today. If you feel shorted, or feel like you should be a part of the list as one of "This Years Big Winners", drop me a line. Until then, keep your shoes tied tight and grab an md 20/20. Maybe YOU, can make the list in '08.
