I wasn’t planning on posting about this. Honestly; it was too self-serving, even for me. Not to mention embarrassing. But PZ, that neckless cephalopod, outed me. So here I am.
Before you click on the video below, please bear in mind that I know the guy who made it; we’ve met at Randi’s Amaz!ng Meeting and have talked many times on various boards and such. He’s a good guy… in fact, after watching the video, I would say his greatest flaw is that he’s not Scarlett Johannson.
But if that were the case, then I certainly wouldn’t be posting the video.
I have no further comments.

Is “celebrities” spelled “celebirties” in the video?
July 31st, 2007 at 6:14 pm
*hugs phil*

haha! That’s awesome!
July 31st, 2007 at 7:32 pm
Beautiful. Just…beautiful.

Brings a tear to my wooden eye….

Hey…you knew the job was dangerous when you took it…

I have a few choice pictures I could send and have added to that…what’s it worth for those pictures to stay private

Hale_bopp, I’m calling your bluff. What have you got? From the summer sessions?
July 31st, 2007 at 8:49 pm
Ah… I can feel the “bromance.”
July 31st, 2007 at 9:09 pm
Oh I would love to give Dr. BA a hug. Too bad Colorado and New England are not next to each other. That hinders the “physical contact” thing a bit. Dangnamit.
July 31st, 2007 at 9:32 pm
Which feeling to go with… creeped out or warm and fuzzy……..
July 31st, 2007 at 10:20 pm
Haha! I feel like you brought this on by posting about man crushes. I laughed heartily when I saw this over at pharyngula earlier. Thanks to all three of you!
July 31st, 2007 at 11:02 pm
You do so much good indeed, I would hug you. You are an inspiration for me.

That was pretty funny, That one guy that looks like Phil with the red hair, is that Jamie from the TV show Mythbusters?
August 1st, 2007 at 4:13 am
Awww, how sweet. I’m feeling the love. Group hug anyone?
August 1st, 2007 at 4:23 am
Good promotion video for your book, isn’t it?
August 1st, 2007 at 4:44 am
“Jamie from the TV show Mythbusters”
Yep, it’s him.
I was literally rolling on the floor laughing, that vid is just too cute.
*hugs

Argh, actually it’s Adam, of course
August 1st, 2007 at 5:18 am
That was great! Except I have had that d&%* song stuck in my head since I watched the video last night.
August 1st, 2007 at 6:52 am
I have problems listening to that song now
August 1st, 2007 at 7:55 am
My previous comment was marked as spam for some reason, any idea what I am doing wrong?
August 1st, 2007 at 8:22 am
Ha ha! Someone has a man-crush on you!
August 1st, 2007 at 11:57 am
I’ve always, ALWAYS hated that song. Good thing I found the off switch for my speakers. The video is still funny without the music.
August 1st, 2007 at 11:59 am
“Honestly; it was too self-serving, even for me.”
Not possible.
August 1st, 2007 at 12:00 pm
Come on Dr Phil, we’ve all been thinking it! Coincidently, I watched the original (inferior) video for that song last night — did you know that it has both ninjas and a big group of Tarzans? That’s class.
August 1st, 2007 at 1:03 pm
I wonder how PZ found out about this little gem?
August 1st, 2007 at 1:17 pm
Everyone hug Phil!

Y’know - I spent 30 minutes trying to get to PZ’s site as a result of this. It wasn’t until I took a closer look at the URL that I realized it wasn’t www.DEPILATEDCRANIUM.com, but www.DEPLETEDCRANIUM.com…
I was gonna give the Big Bad Astronomer a Big Bad Astronomer Hug, but Mrs BA became very possessive, and fended me off with a combination of double-probation super secret ninja moves and a very large boat hook (pointy).
(Disclaimer - ok, yeah, I live in the Denver area, but I don’t know precisely where BA lives, I’ve never met him or his family, nor would I look it up. Poor man needs SOME privacy. On the other hand.. it IS fun to make him squirm a bit)

I signed up to sing that song at karioke a few days ago, but the prompter was broken. Why do you and PZ hate each other so much, anyway?
