At last, they found an internet contest I can’t win

Categories:

It’s stacked against me. They’re trying to raise money for Skepticon IV, and one of their schemes is a set of unreleashed cheesecake shots from the Skepticon calendar, which are obscured now, but donations will gradually reveal the underlying photo. Featured: Jen, JT, and…me.

Oh, man. They’re asking for donations to uncover my photo? I shall be forever unseen. I actually recommended that they do the reverse, and show the photo outright and take donations to cover it up, and we’d be done already. I was ignored! How dare they!

I hope it’s the picture of you on your Octopus Throne.

Some things are worth a penny or two.

Gah, how much to keep it all covered…*Dang, the Redhead found my cash stash for another yarn run*

Why not do the same with cephalopods?

Not a god-believer among them, or at least no belief in human gods.

Start off fully clothed. After that, more revealing pictures will be shown unless donations reach a sufficient level.

Oh, PZ, you underestimate your manly charms. Some of us dig the ~~rumpled teddy bear~~ fearsome atheist firebrand look.

If there are enough donations, will you reveral your true, non-euclidean form in all its tentacled glory?

I’m confused now. I see how the other two will turn into pictures of Jen and JT, but what the heck is that in the uncovered square of your picture? I may have to donate to your widget just so the mystery stops bothering me.

If I had money, I’d like to know how much I would have to donate to get this photographer to do a MenUps photo of PZ. http://www.petapixel.com/2011/10/04/men-photographed-in-stereotypically-female-poses/

Well, so far PZ’s picture shows a skull, and that’s about as undressed as you can get… I think he should have posed with his head showing above an x-ray skeleton version of his body.

PZ, the pharyngula crowd is just weird enough that this is probably more appealing to them than the other two pictures. Or you could have just put up a picture of you punching Jesus in the throat. That might do it for them too. ^_~ Good luck!
