A Short Essay on Give 'Em Enough Rope
by Flex Flexerson
I. Introduction/Statement of Purpose
In this paper, I will prove GEER is the best Clash album.
II. Body/Evidence
Give 'Em Enough Rope is the best Clash album because all the songs are perfect. By the transitive properties, GEER is thus a perfect album. All other Clash albums* have deficiencies of various seriousness. The only thing that might be better than GEER** is battle dolphin - and that's not a Clash album.
[To prove this, I got the opinion of noted GEER expert eumaas, who said, "The power of semen is astonishing."]
III. Conclusion
GEER is the best. Better than London Calling, self titled, Sandinista, Combat Rock, Cut the Crap, or (Super) Black Market Clash.
The End.
*CoL is an EP
**More tests need to be done
Revision I: It has come to my attention, that I failed to quote a primary source on the issue. Problem solved. Additions appear in [...]

If I was your teacher/prof, I'd have to heavily deduct points for egregious inaccuracies.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

This is a rarity - one of the only arguments in classical logic where even defensible attacks on the premise do nothing to disturb the concrete truth of the conclusion. WORD.Flex wrote:A Short Essay on Give 'Em Enough Rope

Cheapskates is a great song.
I like it better than Death or Glory.
