mr_pinkSo what else is hot in biblical studies blogging for the month of June 2009?

  • John Anderson (Hesed weʾemet) stormed into the Biblioblog Top 50 this month, up 44 places from his previous blogspot ranking to No. 33. His sudden ascension to biblioblogging fame was due not only to his exemplary Old Testament blogging, but also due to his Blogger of the Month interview on Biblioblogs.com, and not the least due to the (not one, but two) interviews he carried out with himself during the month of June.
  • Amongst the new entrants to the Top 10 were Neil Godfrey (Vridar), leaping 12 places to No. 3, and Mandy and Calvin Park (The Floppy Hat), up a massive 34 places to No. 5.
  • The biggest rises were from V. Henry T. Nguyen (Punctuated Life), up 113 places to No. 11; Doug Chaplin (Clay Boy), up 117 places from his previous blog’s ranking to No. 22; Rachel Barenblat (Velveteen Rabbi), up 96 places to No. 29; and Douglas Mangum (Biblia Hebraica), up 80 places to No. 21.

  1. When will you dethrone Jim (even if just for a month)?

  2. Okay, you know how I feel about both you – Lopez for your west Texas witticisms and “Manifold Marine Betta” just because there is so much opportunity untapped with your handle – but come on, the dude has a pink hat! Do something, if not for your country, for the Church?!
    Also, what’s a brotha gotta do to get some love like this?! Payments? Buffet table? Homeless signs on the corner?

  3. HiScrivener: “Manifold Marine Betta”… You lost me, my friend.
    Polycarp: You can keep your black suit, but the pink hat would be a nice addition.

  4. @Lopez, he’s got such a great handle. “Polycarp”. Despite the root word and etymology, the first time I saw it, I thought of “many fish.” I don’t know why it made me laugh, but… now I peruse ways to duplicate that name. “Manifold” means “multiple, or poly-” and “marine betta” is a “carp, or fish”. Voila. Don’t you feel edified my brother? :)
    @Many fish guy: You really would look snazzy in that thing. Maybe then we get a catchier handle like, “Pink Panther”. Ooooo, so spy like. So impressive.

  5. Yeah – he’s come up with over a dozen or more so far. I am been racking my brain trying to come up with just one for his…but alas, I am just not as quick as he!

  6. Working on it…. I guess I’m just not that controversial enough.

  7. I know, I know – but that pink suit is catchy – maybe if I got one!
