The guy keeps yammering on twitter that he’s catching up to me in this online poll. I’ve got 62% of the vote, he’s got 12%, and he isn’t even in second place. I’ve been idling along, not worrying about it, but apparently I need to now langorously stretch out my tentacles, enfold his paltry percentage in their toothy embrace, and crush and rend.
I urge you all to go vote and teach Martin S Pribble a lesson.
He’s Australian, so you know he deserves it. I’ve already warned him that there will be a hug-off at the GAC, in which he shall be totally crushed even further.

Greta has only got 15% of the vote. Come on, people, let’s get behind the best atheist blog in the blogosphere.

Well this should be interesting! LOL – I know I can’t win the popularity contest, but I’ll let you know I’ve been in training for the Hug-Off! I’ve been eating Marshmallows!

I’ve heard that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. After watching poll after poll get crushed by the Pharyngula horde I’m in awe.
By the way that’s not my real name on this reply. Just thought I’d let you know. Just in case.

Pribble rhymes with tribble.
If that isn’t enough to get you voting against him, what could be?

So conflicted. Do I surrender to my natural tendency to obey his Poopyness? Do I show some kind of half-assed loyalty to my adopted home? Or do I vote for one of my favorite bloggers and acknowledge International Woman’s Day (in NA) all in one go? Hmmmmm, hmmmmm, oh wait, this is easy. [votes for Greta. Get's an attack of nerves and calls up Google maps. Is relieved to find that yup, it *is* at least 200km from the nearest body of water capable of sustaining cephalopods.]

Oh no, I voted for PZ before I realised that MP was Australian! Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. Sorry Marty.

Why would you want to disown me? I do Australia proud by even being in this damn (lack of) competition!

So conflicted. So, so conflicted

see that banner on the right there? –>> The blue one? Yeah, that one… see where that’s being held? There is a reason this is happening in Australia, because people like me live here :) What better reason to vote for me? Except if you are annoyed it’s not happening near you, in which case you should vote for PZ… Okay I’ll go now…

Marella’s mea culpa swung it for me – she sounds like a fellow recovering catholic (oh the guilt, always, the guilt) as well as Australian. Rest easy, marella, I nuetralised your vote.

I’m so ashamed to be Australian.
So behind the times…
Hope you didn’t expect anything more than a 55.6kbs internet connection here PZ.
It’ll run Netscape 1.22 just fine though.

PZ, you made me vote for you, but you also made me find Pribble’s blog. So, you kinda shot yourself in the foot there. he laughs at Outreach Media like I do so I must give him credit and readings.

Sorry not voting – why not just use a facebook login to verify. Why does it have to know who all my freinds are?

Actually you don’t need to register on facebook. You can give an email address. If you don’t have a throwaway email addee then you don’t deserve to vot.

I went there with the best of intentions, but got distracted by the feminine vices of Greta Christina. Abject apologies.

Damn. That was a hard choice. Almost voted for Greta (she has the kitties on her side!) but since it’s PZ’s birthday, I went ahead and voted for him.
Happy Natal Day, oh Tentacley one!

I thought this guy was supposed to be an atheist? As it turns out, he is a sophisticated theologian.
