He's on record as liking mine.....Originally posted by UtahDan View PostI will probably live to regret sharing this opinion but:
Win: SU
The Field: Fail"Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action. His actions are supposed to reflect his ethical code.
The rest of us rarely bother to think about our actions." --Solon

Here is the deal, RoseBud. Most contestants focused almost exclusively on mimicking SU's writing style. This is kind of like doing a replica of the Mona Lisa. Technically impressive, but ultimately doomed to be seen as a fake. YOhio and I went with a different strategy, opting for irony/caricature. That in and of itself is a tribute to SU, given that he is such a fan of irony. Of course, it also lets us poke fun at SU - a cheap but effective way to win votes.Originally posted by RoseBud View PostBahh.... this is nothing more than a high school popularity contest... and I needed the CASH!! grrrr.....
The entry by Babs also contained a nice dash of irony and humor, but I suspect she got some sympathy votes (she's still grieving from the Red River Rivalry loss)."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

As opposed to the brown-nosers wanting to get in good with the board admin. I tell you, I don't know what this board is coming to.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostThe entry by Babs also contained a nice dash of irony and humor, but I suspect she got some sympathy votes (she's still grieving from the Red River Rivalry loss).

Speaks volumes.

I'll leave it to Tim, SeattleUte, and/or, TripletDaddy to explain my entry. It was purposeful, and I dropped tons of hints about what I was doing. The nature of authorship is tricky. I didn't want to win this competition, in order to demonstrate my point."Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action.

Can you imagine what we would be doing if AA had put the stakes at TWO dollars?Last edited by Jeff Lebowski; 07-05-2009, 01:52 PM."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."
