Friday Cephalopod: Another step in the fusion of cephalopod and technology » « I learned some things today

I was hoping I wouldn’t have to do this…

loincloth

…but I may have to deploy the nuclear option against atheist backsliders. Iris has been converted by mere pictures of Sexy Jesus, and this cannot be allowed to stand.

As soon as I can find a loincloth somewhere in the house, I may have to deploy a few photos of Sexy PZ here. Unless you all can persuade her to revert.

Isn’t my threat sufficient incentive?

    Sometimes a woman just has to do who a woman has to do.

    I recall reading somewhere that most modern representations of jesus are based on Caesare Borgia, whose father, Pope Alexander VI, was fond of having him model the savior. So I always get an extra giggle or two from the idea that christians worship the graven image of one of Rome’s greatest rakes.

    It’s definitely time I turned off the computer and went to sleep; I read “Iris” as “Isis” and then put it all in capitals, and you cannot imagine how confusing that was.

    I clicked on the link. Why did I click on the link? I’m desperately suppressing guffaws, because I really don’t want to explain why I’m rolling on the floor laughing.

    Not to mention PZ and his loincloth – hello the imagery!

    Gee, a couple of weeks ago I saw a bumper sticker on a really macho pick-up: “REAL men love Jesus”. Now I know why!

  12. trollofreason says

    Why would this be a threat? I just wanna-… I just wanna-… I just wanna rub your beard all over my chest, PZ!

    *wants badly to see daddy-bear PZ in loincloth*
    *wants badly to not do the vomiting necessary to pretend to like that skinny hairless Jesus that would get him to do that*

    Aaaaargh! What if we ask pretty-please?

    Always listen to chigau’s advice. Go see the whole calendar. Especially October.

    Ohhhh. Hoo, haa, ha ha ha ha, oh gawd I’m laughing so hard I can’t breathe! I couldn’t sleep so got up and tuned into THIS! I’m really not going to sleep now. I’ll never get the image of Sexy PZ out of my head!

    Wanking over an image of “Jesus” didn’t make me believe when i was a teenager, it’s not going to work now…

    The picture of Jesus as a fireman threatening the burning bush is fucking epic, though…kudos to the mind that visualized that.

  22. polishsalami says

    PZ Myers getting around Morris in a loincloth? Makes a change from the Borat mankini at least.

  27. plainenglish says

    The unsolicited ad that appears just under the charming loincloth invites me to click on a link that will start me on a path to being a priest with The Companions of the Cross.
    I suppose you are going to tell me that this is not God calling me directly! He sees us all in our underwear and thinks I belong as a companion.
    That’s it…. I’m signin’ up…. getting to work on my loins and cloth straight way…

    Wait… that’s a threat?

    I think you are seriously underestimating how many Pharyngulites have a real thing for bearded biology professors, PZ…

    You should really offer the loinclothed PZ pics as the incentive; you want to see PZ in all his sexy glory? Fix this Iris situation first.

    No Iris back in the fold, no hot biologist action – it’s as simple as that…

    irisvanderpluym:

    That’s because He is not just some rando zombie, Tony. He is a Zombie God!

    Shamelessly stolen from some random thing I saw on the internet:

    Jesus was not a zombie. He was not mindless nor did he consume anyone. Nor was he a ghoul or a wight – although his soul and intellect were intact, he was not a rotting corpse. He was not a vampire – while he transubstantiated wine into blood, he never drank it from a person. Jesus was not a ghost or a wraith – he was corporeal and still had his wounds. The results are therefore clear:

    Jesus was a lich.

    A lich is created when a powerful magician or king striving for eternal life uses spells or rituals to bind his soul to his animated corpse and thereby achieves immortality. Liches are depicted as being clearly cadaverous, their bodies still bearing the wounds they received before or during their death, and often have the power of necromancy, allowing them to bring the dead back to life.

    PZ, don’t do this. I can already read the lines on an Irish blog: The time when PZ Myers threatened to send a woman unsolicitated semi nude pictures in order to bully her so she wouldn’t leave his little echo chamber.

  32. says

    Giliell, what if this were all an elaborate ruse by the woman herself to get some sweet, semi-nude PZ pics, huh? In that case, we can all have a(nother) good laugh at an Irish blog.

    Why, then the MRAs would start complaining about the perfidy of predatory women preying upon naive biology professors or something, and how that totes proves we live in an oppresive matriarchy that sexually exploits teh menz… and then we could have a good laugh at the MRA idjits as well.

    Also, we blokes are not just sexy, sexy machines, you know. We have feelings too! ;-)

    Iris
    You’Re acting as if facts had anything to do with it.

    Gregory Greenwood
    Yeah, that’s what they all say. And then they walk around looking good. If guys wanted to be respected and treated like people with feelings and stuff they wouldn’t look attractive to people interested in guys.

    Ah, gotcha – cunning.

    If we are going to have large numbers of Pharyngulites fantasising about hawt biology professor action on this thread, then how about a little mood music to help set the scene?

    *Channels MRA ‘logic’, applies it consistently to this sceanrio*

    Besides, if women couldn’t just treat guys like they exist solely as eye-candy without any extraneous feelings or humanity, and do so whenever and where ever the impulse took them without any limits at all, then where would the world be? Humanity would probably instantly go extinct or something. Won’t someone think of the (as yet unborn, and indeed unconceived) children?
