An homage to greatness.

Posted on November 26, 2011December 9, 2011 By Andrew Thaler 2 Comments on An homage to greatness.

There are many faiths in the world, but the one truest and purest is David Shiffman’s faith in me. Yes, that is a shrine to the Southern Fried Scientist that David is kneeling before. The offering appears to be of the magnetic marine creature variety. I too am filled with faith, faith that our own David Shiffman is still in the lead. And faith in our readers to keep voting for him so that it will stay that way.

The shrine of the ancient mariner?

Confused? David is currently competing for a $10,000 blogging scholarship being decided by public vote. For every day David remains in the lead, I’m posting an embarrassing picture from his past.

    It’s worth noting that this shrine to the Southern Fried Scientists was in the Southern Fried Scientist’s own apartment. And yes, that shirt I’m wearing is awesome, you’re correct.
