    but you just want to dress him in fuzzy sweaters with bow-ties, buy him chocolate chip cookies and hug him!

    You don’t like chocolate chip cookies?

  2. Sili, The Unknown Virgin says

    I’m not sure full beards and bowties go well together.

    Sorry, PeeZeddybear. You’ll have to shave.

    The good news, is that you are gathering groupies among the skepchicks, groupies who are ever so excited to meet you in person.

    The bad news, is that these groupies want to “dress (you) in fuzzy sweaters with bow-ties, buy (you) chocolate chip cookies” and give you a great big teddy-bear hug!!

    The good news, is that the Trophy Wife just breathed a sigh of relief….

    From Blackadder the Third:

    “Oh, that is a lie madam. Prince George is shy and just pretends to be bluff and crass and unbelievably thick and gittish, whilst deep down he is a soft little marshmallowy, pigletty type of creature”

    Tweak the first half, and it’s you to a T. You little snuggly-wuggly-woogums, you……

    Nonsense! Full beards and bowties are both awesome, and therefore go well together. QED. :-D

    Bah! Do narwhals or cephalopods, the two most awesomest of critters, have either beards or bow ties?

    But she says you already have sharp teeth. You’ll have to go further if you want to deteddify yourself. I suggest growing out the beard and twisting it into dreadlocks. It makes Brad Pitt look sketchy and I’m sure it’ll do the same for you.

  8. Pikeman85 says

    So tempted to go to this, I only live about five or six hours outside of SoCal. I probably won’t though.

  9. cyan says

    Nope to the bowtie image. Can’t picture PZ enjoying being throttled with one.

    And tying up the phallic symbol into a non-threatening-looking neat little knot! – not

    Fuzzy sweaters – ixnay too. Functional sweaters, strongly knit and so more enduring sweaters, yeah.

    Just don’t see any connection between Teddy bears and PZ. (with Ursus arctos horribilis, yes, although I disagree about the horribilis part of that name – grizzlies are tough and strong and adept; only horrible to those who are vanquished by them)

  10. Joel says

    The only thing more ferocious than PZ Myers behind the podium is a PZ Myers-Daniel Dennett double header.

    When you’ve seen those two in action, you realize why the Religionists are so doggone scared of us. (Hint: it’s the facial hair.)

  11. ronsullivan says

    I think I’d really resent the bow-tie epithet, myself. Yuck, bow ties.

  12. Kieranfoy says

    @Andy Groves: Yeah, but he can hardly make jokes about consginments of ‘German sausage’ like George did, can he?

  13. ashleyfmiller says

    @Randomfactor

    Special Request?

    I’ll be there too. I’m even supposedly doing that dine with the speakers thing with PZ. Should I take chocolate cookies?

    @boygenius <3 that octopus sweater so bad

  14. ashleyfmiller says

    @boygenius I tried to say I hearted the octopus but it won’t let me do the heart thing I guess.

  15. Zeno says

    Soon to appear on milk cartons in Morris: PZ Myers. Have you seen this man?

  16. Crudely Wrott says

    I’ve seen some very suspicious and threatening stuffed animals in my day. ‘Specially Teddy Bears. Haven’t run into any for some time but since PZ seems to be wandering abroad with impunity lately, I think I’ll keep a few Famous Amos cookies at hand. It might save my life, or the life of a child. Or a tentacled invertebrate. I can only cower and hope his hunger is only for sweets.

  17. Crudely Wrott says

    Oh. Sastra @#5 wins the thread. Somehow Sastra just nails it. Thank you, dear. You always leave me thinking anew and feeling just a bit better for it. May you comment forever.

  18. Margaret says

    I can only cower and hope his hunger is only for sweets.

    May I suggest bringing a beer instead.

  19. Aquaria says

    Sheesh–everyone knows you don’t put bow ties with sweaters on teddy bears, unless you’re terminally saccharine.

    Must be why this was the only teddy bear with a bow tie and a sweater I could find.

  20. Rutee, Shrieking Harpy of Dooooom says

    Sheesh–everyone knows you don’t put bow ties with sweaters on teddy bears, unless you’re terminally saccharine.

    …I put sweaters on teddy bears…

  21. Aquaria says

    It’s ok to put on the sweaters. It’s okay to put on the bow ties. But not bow ties AND sweaters. That’s overdoing it.

  22. tawaen says

    Sheesh–everyone knows you don’t put bow ties with sweaters on teddy bears, unless you’re terminally saccharine.

    How about Hawaiian print shirts? That’s still OK, right?

    …My giant teddy will be very disappointed if he’s made a fashion faux-pas. Besides, I only stole the shirt for him to stop my dad from wearing it in public. Another victory for good taste.

  24. furr-a-bruin says

    There’s nothing wimpy about being a teddybear. Of course, I refer to 700-kilo full grown grizzly bears as “teddybears” so perhaps my perspective is a bit unusual. ;)
