I wish to give tribute to the person that adds that extra umph for Cecil. The great graphic artist known as Ed Zotti, whose amusing drawing’s have added that extra touch to all his columns. I have read the Straight Dope for the last twenty years, and expect that extra special graphic with the column. Ed and Cecil go hand in hand for this great column.
Solute!
I’m only your wildest fear, from the corners of your darkest thoughts.
No, no, no.
Ed Zotti is Cecil’s editor. (And scapegoat when anything goes wrong. And, according to certain heretics, alterego)
The artist the inestimable Slug Signiori. (I think I spelled it right)

As Glida Radner would put it never mind. Slug Signiori sorry.
Just bumping this up to the top.
Because it occurred to me that by doing so, I could mortify Phobia, Zotti, AND Slug in one easy swoop.
Hey, you’re welcome.

'Eh, Signori e signore, the man’s surname is Signorino. Just to mortify everybody!
Although that would make a fascinating new conspiricy theory – what if Ed Zotti is really the same person as Slug Signorino!? 
Uh, why don’t we all just forget this compliment ever happened.

I could forget about it, but why? Some things can never be lived down. This is going to haunt Yue Han for a long time, mark my words.
What? Phobia was the OP and not Yue Han? Oh…
An infinite number of rednecks in an infinite number of pickup trucks shooting an infinite number of shotguns at an infinite number of road signs will eventually produce all the world’s great works of literature in Braille.
Now why would someone ressucitate this thread, when you have Phobia pleading, nay begging, for us to ignore it?

Would you guys leave Phobia alone. I mean with a name like Phobia, you know that he/she must have some major phobia, like being afraid of screwing up and everybody seeing it.
Let us just let this die the death that it deserves and remember it no more.

I couldn’t care less.
On the other hand if my post name was say “Omniscient” it might matter.

I love your signature quote every time I see it.
I’m only your wildest fear, from the corners of your darkest thoughts.
This sig not Y2K compliant. Happy 1900.
Actually, the truth is that none of them exist. Slug, Ed, and Cecil are all just figments of our collective imagination.

Well, if Phobia’s pleading, okay. Let’s just let the whole thing drop.
OH hell, I seem to have thrust the thread to the top again.
