Here I am conjuring Space Demons. Notice that one hand is gloved - that's to constrain my power. We don't want to reach too far in the the black void.
I've already committed to buying Elite's an adult beverage or two - if anyone recognizes me and mentions Space Demons or says "Geaux Tigers", you'll earn yourself a drink*. I don't usually mesh my sports enthusiasm with my skeptic/science enthusiasm, but it's the only pic I have really, and thought the visual cues might distinguish me.
*This offer is not valid with any other offer. Spruce22 reserves the right to refuse service to anyone who is a dick in general**
**Unless I'm drunk and/or attracted to you

Sir, I do believe you will be buying a lot of people drinks.

That's the plan! And since I'll recognize you (didn't you post a pic?), I'll be sure and offer a few your way. Plus I always fall for the "poor college kid" routine.
I don't have a trust fund though, so there will be a limit. I might have to be liberal in my assessment of who is, or is not a "dick" as I eloquently put it.

I did post a pic, in fact I've posted two. And I am definitely in college and poor, but I don't think I fall under the "kid" catergory... but 2 out of 3 ain't bad.
Hmm, I think it may be useful to post some criteria pertaining to your assessment of "being a dick."

If you insist:That doesn't matter, if it includes Todd Robbins then it is the best choice.
This photo was taken after a showing of Play Dead, in New York City.
In this photo, from left to right, is a fellow skeptic named Edward (not sure if he's going to TAM), The Great Todd Robbins, The Wonderful Eugenie Scott, actress Geri Berman (in hideous make up, from the show), and then that's me on the end.

I was at that show too! Sat across the aisle from Genie.

Yes, I remember how your stench was hovering behind me.

Oh that's right. You sat in front of me. I guess I had mentally blocked that part out.

How about a picture where you're not dropping names to try to impress a bunch of skeptics?

* Excellent. I'm not a dick in general; merely specifically.
** I'm banking on the drunk, but from there, who knows?

Go to enough TAMs and Dragon*Cons and other events, and you'll have a good pile of names, too.How about a picture where you're not dropping names to try to impress a bunch of skeptics?

We should start a separate thread for anyone interested in one-upping each other on celebrity photos. Not sure if I would win, in the end, but I could be a serious contender!
I would post my own photo with Richard Dawkins, taken at one of TAM 8's VIP luncheons. But, that would just make everyone else over-the-top with jealousy. I don't want to do that to people, here. It wouldn't be fair! I would rather save the photo for an actual contest.

Oh, I do, it's just not one of those things I understand, honestly. All the photos I have of me with celebrities were typically against my will

Hmm, I think it may be useful to post some criteria pertaining to your assessment of "being a dick."
It's a unpredictable formula involving at least the following variables. I've yet to figure it out myself!
- My level of intoxication
- The intoxication level and behavior of those around me
- My bank balance
- Astrological compatibility between me the person in question
- Color of person's soul aura (Lavender folks count yourself out straight off!)
- Involuntary physical reactions due to my evolutionary need to procreate (which is minimal for me personally, but I can't deny humanity's history)
If anyone can help me clarify my decision making process or think of any additional variables I might have missed, please feel free to help me out. I'd love to understand myself a bit more.
However, I'd simplify it by saying it's like the controversy over the porn/art issue in the past. I'm like the government - I know a person is being a dick when I see it!
(luckily I didn't set myself up for any jokes with that last sentence)

Oh you're good then. Just be very specific. If you're a dick in more than one way, that qualifies as general.
Adventurous, and logical!

I would win that thread, if we were basing it on my Todd Robbins criteria (I have two or three other pictures with him around here somewhere...)

I think you covered most of the variables. Unless you like a good bar bet... or will at least fall for them
