So PZ and I are so close that we are definitely in a statistical dead heat (I am enjoying a 0.7% lead right now).
I have begged, whined, pleaded, bribed (keep those links coming!), and pandered, and I am almost out of tricks.
Almost.
Rebecca had an idea: a bet between PZ and me. Whoever loses has to do something humiliating (more humiliating than losing to the other I suppose). Perhaps PZ should pose for next year’s calendar? Maybe I need to kiss a squid, or adopt an octopus.
Let’s get some suggestions here, folks. But hurry! Time’s running short.
In the meantime, PZ has a suggestion on his site, which I will happily accept. I just have no clue what he could write about. Maybe how much he loves Ken Ham? Mwuahahahahahaha.
Vote! The polls close at one minute before midnight tonight Eastern time. And I’ll be posting a list of people who promoted the BA Blog either tonight or Monday– the list is already pretty long, and I want to make sure I don’t skip anyone.

I am all atwitter at the thought of capturing his squiddy nakedness in my calendar of goodies. Mwa ha! Go Phil!
December 15th, 2006 at 12:16 pm
Why should appearing in the calender be seen as something humilating? I would have thought it was an honour! (I supposed it could be considered humilating that he didn’t get in the first time around!)

Vote for Phil! Who wants to see a naked PZ?
December 15th, 2006 at 12:47 pm
Wow! The web site is taking a Looong time to respond. Guess it’s all that last minute voting for the BA, eh?

Another link headed your way…

hehehe that calendar thing is a good idea.
December 15th, 2006 at 1:18 pm
I think you’ve got that the wrong way around…
We get a naked PZ if he loses!

As in the Simpsons, perhaps the BA could mow the lawn in a dress.
December 15th, 2006 at 1:44 pm
OK looser has to do the “I’m a little teapot” song in a dress and post a video to YouTube!

Hey, Phil! I defended your honor at the Pharyngula website. Sorry about the ballpoint pen reference, though.
December 15th, 2006 at 2:16 pm
I just voted, your lead is 8057 to 8054.
December 15th, 2006 at 2:21 pm
Arrgh! Pharyngula just took a 3-vote lead!
December 15th, 2006 at 2:27 pm
Reason #13 to vote for Pharyngula…
This will be my last plea for your vote, to the relief of many. My next comment on this subject will be a miserable concession speech glorious in-your-face crow of triumph, after all the votes have been counted and……
December 15th, 2006 at 2:39 pm
I just put you 1 vote in the lead. Go BA.
December 15th, 2006 at 3:18 pm
I am new here but I have already voted twice.
Good luck BA!!!!
