when something more important is eminent, you instead ignore all responsibility. also, leaving your trash all over the place and acting like a total slob.
John had a test, but instead of studying he was pulling a john and playing pokemon and leaving his take-out food all over the couch.

When you look someone straight in the eye and ask the dumbest question possible as if you are sincere with your question knowing damn well the answer.
Going to the loan officer at the bank and telling them you have a 400 credit score with multiple chargeoffs, no job or income and you live on your friends couch and absolutely no way of making the loan payments and then asking if you could qualify for a $400,000 unsecured credit line with the lowest interest rate. The loan officer looks you straight in the eye and asks you if you are "pulling a John Bates" on me?

"Pulling a John Rogers" means when you agree to go somewhere with friends, you cancel at the last minute or sometimes after the event has started. It is generally in association with some unforeseen circumstance like your sister was planning on flying into town and you just found out about it 20 minutes ago. Canceling usually takes the form of a text message. In rare instances, a phone call or email/instant message will occur.
"He's 15 minutes late....he must be pulling a John Rogers again" - look at phone, sees text message: "Sorry guys, I can't make it".

Or, 30-60 minutes before meeting for dinner, someone in the group will receive the following text/email/IM "Sorry guys, I can't make it - I PROMISE I'll be there for the next game".

1) To cheat at something. Maybe a video game, Spades, a card game, or a race.

2) To bang another lady while your rightfully married partner is unable to react to the situation, for whatever reason.

3) To try to do something great for the public to hide how big of a jerk you are at the personal level.
1) "Quit looking at the other side of my Yu-Gi-Oh cards, you dip-shit! If you pull a John Edwards on me like that again, I'll burn your entire collection in the back-yard!"

2) Jessica Simpson's boyfriend had to pull a John Edwards on her in her own home! He was caught banging a chick on top her bed! As if she had enough to be upset about! She's Jessica Simpson! Her life has been dropped on shit creek without a paddle!

3) The stupid man is trying to run for Vice President. Even know he cheated on his wife who has breast cancer, he still thinks he has what it takes to become a figure for this country. Encourage people to be stupid and do things wrong. We're not going to let John Edwards pull himself at us again!

Pull a John Preston is the act of single-handedly fucking up a group of people in the most awesome way imaginable while using a gun/pair of guns/club/pair of clubs/katana/your bare goddamned fists. It doesn't matter what you use because you're such a badass the fight will be over in seconds leaving nothing but a circle of bodies around you.

An individual capable of pulling a John Preston is not to be fucked with. Seriously, they can shoot you without even looking at you, dodge bullets and know what you're thinking before you do.
"Man, I was at the bar last night and there was this fight that broke out. All of a sudden, some guy pulls a John Preston with a pool cue and before I know it there's, like, eight guys KO'd on the floor. It was awesome!"

"I was heading to my car to go to work and suddenly a ninja posse appears in front of me. So I pulled a John Preston on them. Wasn't even late for work."

"So, I storm into this building and there's, like, twenty guys with rifles shooting at me. I drop my M4, whip out my Berettas and pull a John Preston on them. Wonder if they'll give me a Congressional Medal of Badassery?"
