Regarding the shrill cries from Knabe regarding the scoring of the "Great Essay Competition"....

WHO CARES?!!

I chose an obscure, bullshit subject of ABSOLUTELY NO CONSEQUENCE WHATSOEVER. You are totally correct, there is no way to judge this ivory-tower crap on its own merits.

Fact of the matter is- and those in the know will confirm this- the whole idea was too see how much time and effort I could get Knabe to waste on this ridiculous thing.

So the scoring, as I see it, runs like this:

Jocko spent 3 minutes reformatting a 12-year old essay from college he found on a dusty 5 1/4 floppy.

Knabe spent HOURS coming up with a rant that didn't even answer the question, and consistently capitalized the word "me."

Once more.... Jocko, 3 minutes. Knabe, HOURS.

Tell me one more time who wound up ahead here? BWWAAAHHHHHH

Hey Knabe, want to go at it again? How about a discourse on Cartesian geometry?

The REAL Jocko!
The REAL Jocko!
The REAL Jocko!
The REAL Jocko!
