Sweetening the pot

By pharyngula on May 8, 2011.

Since my opposition is dragging in loads of riff-raff to try and raise money for Camp Quest, I've decided to bring in some firepower of my own. The beard is willing to make the great sacrifice if Team PZ wins this competition at the end of this month. Even better, at the request of my daughter Skatje, I will recreate the look of 1980s PZ:

In fact, since Skatje and I will both be at Convergence at the end of June, I will coerce her into helping me re-enact this very photo, and will post it to the web. It can't be a perfect replica — I've grown a little wider, and she's gotten a wee bit taller — but that'll be part of the challenge. Also, she usually wears black, not pink, and I don't think there's any way I'd ever be able to talk her into a frilly pink dress, but at least she's now got lots of pink inked onto her shoulder.

So donate. I expect the beard to destroy the competition (I think they are completely lacking in manly facial hair. How can you bear to support them?)

Riff-raff at the School for Vampires
I've found out about the spooky cartoon show my daughter watches that I wondered about, the one where one character looks just like Riff-raff in the Rocky Horror Picture Show. It's Die Schule der kleinen Vampire / School for Vampires, a co-production among Germany, Italy and Luxemburg. The Riff-…
Hey! This contest isn't fair!
I've been asked to compete in a fundraising contest for Camp Quest. But look what they did to me! Five awesome atheist bloggers are competing to see who can raise the most money to support Camp Quest! Since one of those bloggers is the indomitable PZ Myers of Pharyngula, we have made two teams…
Heads I win, tails they lose
In the last episode of our competition to raise money for Camp Quest, I had elegantly and cunningly turned the tables on Team Beat PZ: after trouncing them thoroughly in all fundraising efforts, I had maneuvered them into desperately offering all kinds of humiliating forfeits if they should win the…
