There is a whole collection of Skeptic Trump cards available on the web, and what do you know, I'm in there:
A bit chipmunky, but look: I have no worthy adversaries, and no arch nemesis! I guess I'll be scampering to the goal line unopposed, then. (I notice, though, that Dawkins' nemesis is Alister McGrath — that's like saying the biggest obstacle in your way is a blob of jello.)

Oh, no. Mooney and Kirshenbaum have written another loopy op-ed. I'm reading it in complete bafflement: what is their argument? What are they trying to do? Because none of it makes sense. It's confusing, right from the beginning, in which they sneer at Richard Dawkins for publishing a new book…
Good news! While I still get flooded with email every time Bill Donohue puts my address in a press release, I'm getting 90% fewer death threats! I think that maybe the example of Ms Kroll and her trollish husband has made people thinking twice before explicitly spelling out their gruesome plans, so…
The media are lashing back. The post-convention media (with the exception of one article in the Australian) has been abysmally bad, relying on tried-and-true excuse-making from religious apologists. It would be nice if they actually had conversations with atheists rather than immediately running to…
Salon has a peculiarly defensive article by a Christian confessing to being embarrassed about her beliefs, which seems like a good start to me. She should be embarrassed. As a fun exercise, though, try reading her article while categorizing its statements in the Kübler-Ross stages — there's a bit…
I'd say a lot chipmunky.
Looks like PZ is filling on creobot/godbot troll meat for the long hard Minnesota winter...
I think your cheeks are puffed out, PZ, because you're underwater and holding your breath. See all those bubbles.
Not sure why, though.
Ah, you must be of them microbiologists.
If Pee Zed's anything like this fellow it's obvious way all the blobs of jello run away.
The closest I can think of off the top of my head for an arch nemesis is the Rookie. Not even a blob of jello, as it didn't set properly...
John Wilkins as arch-nemesis?
That looks like PZ could match Dizzy Gillespie blow for blow.
Blobs can be pretty damn scary.
I think PZ's arch nemesis could be Bill Donohue and Vox Day.
One is certifiably crazy and the other is a mean, witch hunter class, corrupt, Catholic excuse maker.
Their super power is emitting enormous amounts of slime.
Saying PZ's arch nemesis is Bill Donohue is like saying that Obama's arch nemesis is Orly Taitz. Not a worthy opponent and insane to boot.
Is it just me or does Christopher hitchens card look like a Tim Burton Villian
All you have to do to become Bill Donohue's arch nemesis is come out strongly against child molestation.
Lol, I like how Hitchen's is the fictional atheist alien Oolon Colluphid from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. That makes me chuckle.
Well, since that includes almost all of the moral adults, he is an arch nemesis to a lot of people.
The art on the card lets me know that I'm not the only one who thinks you have very awww-how-adorable pinchable cheeks. =^_^=
I thought his archnemesis was KWOOOOOOOOOK!!!!
That should be KW*********K!!!!
A water flea who can't swim. Why even mention the name? Unworthy to be an archnemesis of PZ. *An accommodationist who can think? Just said an oxymoron...Sorry*
Zeno @#3--He's underwater because that's where the zebrafish are, and he's studying them in their environment!
Cheeze....
#7 FTW
Wow - that caricature of Ariane Sherine looks HOT!! :-)

Enjoy...
Hitchens has you totally beaten in the Arch Nemesis dept. One of his is Oolon Calluphid (and, presumably, his trilogy of philosophical blockbusters, "Where God Went Wrong", "More of God's Greatest Mistakes" and "Just Who is this God Person Anyway?").
A bit chipmunky? Nah; just stuffing his cheeks with crackers for next winter...

[Daffy and Nasty Canasta play cards; Daffy deals]
Daffy Duck: [aside] I've got a royal straight flush full house with four aces high.
[to Canasta]
Daffy Duck: What do you got, stranger?
Nasty Canasta: [shoving a gun down Daffy's throat] I got a three of clubs.
Daffy Duck: Beats me.
Although, the cheeks makes you look a little chubby.
@ 25
Good one!!
congrats PZ, at least you didn't have to hold up a number which is sooo embarrassing and unfashionable these days .
Did you check to make sure you beat Phil Plait and Hemant Mehta?
Talking of that pygmy brained moron, does anyone know he is getting on with his demands Seed remove Pharyngula from Scienceblogs ? Did he ever publish the letter he sent them ?
How very odd, as I am just finishing Zelazny's The Great Book of Amber (all 10 Amber books collected).
Is this your plan for world travel now? We just concentrate on your Trump and bring you to your next conference? I suppose it would be much easier on your back.

Where, I wonder, is Susan Jacoby? I hope they do her Skeptic Trump soon.
PZ's Simpson's-style card sez his arch nemesis is Ben Stein.
Still not really a worthy adversary, but has some name recognition at least.

I wish they could make it into a real CCG. Complete with Action cards, Opposing Archetypes, and various mock scenarios (trolling, debates, appearances, conventions, flames etc. etc.).
