Pretty big and heavy too?
Can you imagine if we had the Texas Jones trilogy? Texy's sidekick could be John Ross Ewing! :p

: Does this mean George Jefferson was inspired by Thomas Jefferson? It all makes sense now! I'd like to use the term "kedge anchor" here, but I don't feel like giving out definitions this early in the morning.

: : So you're saying that Virgil Jones is to Indiana Jones as James Bond (the ornithologist) is to Ian Fleming's James Bond (the spy). As for neither Mr. Jones nor Mr. Bond wanting to have anything to do with his famous counterpart, I guess they weren't cleocentric and not interested in stellification. Or maybe they suffered from kakorrhaphiophobia (fear of failure - just in case you've never heard that word)?

: : : A friend of mine was telling me about how when he was a kid his grandma told him (back in the 1980s) about the "Real" Indiana Jones. According to my friend's grandma, the character of Indiana Jones was based off of a guy named Virgil Jones who was at one point in his life searching for the Ark of the Covenant. My friend proceeded to tell me that Virgil Jones lives/lived right here in Arlington, TX but Virgil doesn't want to be associated with the character of Indiana Jones. My friend's grandma evidentally was friends with Virgil years ago. I told my friend, "You're joshing me." ("joshing" means "kidding" just in case you've never heard that word.) I seriously thought he was kidding with me because he's always pulling the wool over my eyes in some form or another. However, he was dead serious about this, so I go and pull out my phone book. There's like 3 Virgil Joneses in there.

: : : So I'm coming to the experts (you and you and you and...) Has anyone here ever heard of this person Virgil Jones?
