In today’s Staff Report, Why do vultures circle dead stuff?, the listed author is “Guest contributor George Angehr,” known to us on the SDMB as Colibri.
However, in Cecil’s December 15 column on Caterpillar Sex, Cecil penned the following:
Why, after Cecil himself has appointed him to full membership on the Straight Dope Science Advisory Board, has George been slighted in this egregious manner? Will this cause him to get upset and take his birds and go back to Panama? Worse, will this cause him to leave nasty tropical bugs in Little Ed’s bed, infecting him with some incurable disease.
Come on, people, we can’t let this happen to our Colibri!
Bildo, while your compassion for Colibri is commendable, you needn’t worry. His next Staff Report will indeed bear the title “staff”, with all the benefits and responsibilities accrued thereto and hereinunder, forthwith.

. . . and hereby, whynot, and overthere.
All of which, added together with $1.00, will buy a cup of coffee. Or about 1/5 a cup if you’re at Starbucks.

Thank you for your concern, Billdo, but the wheels of Cecildom grind slowly (although they grind exceedingly small).
First, there was lots of paperwork to fill out. Then the security check. The urinalysis and blood test. A small amount of plastic surgery. (I didn’t need my left pinky anyway). And a few discreetly placed tattoos (the one on the inside of the upper lip being particularly painful). These things take time.
I have also been informed there is a secret initiation ritual yet to come, which will be performed without the aid of vaseline. :eek:
Nope, I never left. I’m still in Panama.
That’s what they tell me, but since Coldfire still periodically complains about not having received his yet, I ain’t holding my breath.
Jill has two Gauderes?
