I realize that there are not all that many people who know, but is Ed Zotti left handed?
Trying to draw links between Zotti and Cecil, huh? If it is true that both are left handed, I’m sure it’s nothing more than a coincidence.
Actually, I’m more interested in ruling out the possibility altogether and ending any further speculation.
Read the catcher thread didja? Maybe Ol’ Cece is really the smartest human bean and threw a curve ball 20 years ago that finally went across the plate. http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a1_303b.html
I don’t have a link handy, but didn’t Ed state conclusively that he was NOT Cecil in a thread once upon a time?
Besides, they’d have to be banned for being socks, wouldn’t they?
Yes, Ed Zotti has a left hand.
“I did not have sexual relations with that left hand.” --Ed Zotti
If Zotti isn’t Cecil, he’s a plagiarist. Large sections of Cecil’s columns are reprinted in Zotti’s Know it All!
mud-slinger!
Heretic!
Pigeon-Fancier!
I keed! I keed! I keed wit chou!
“Is Cecil Adams really Ed Zotti? It all depends on what your definition of ‘is’ is.” – W.J. Clinton, on one of the burning problems of our day.
I’m left-handed . . . Omigod, what if I’m Cecil and didn’t even know it?
If Ed Zotti is Cecil’s right hand man, could Eve be his left hand woman?
I was always under the impression that this was a moot point. I thought the story went like this:
Ed had a terrible accident in 1972 with rendered him a veritable vegetable. His sister Sybil tried to nurse him back to no avail. Eventually, she recognized that Ed was trying to communicate by winking…1 wink equaled the letter A. 2 winks - B, 3 winks - C. etc…etc…
What she could not have realized at the time was that it was really not Ed who was communicating but our lord Cecil. Ed kept his darkest secret of being a medium for the spirit world from everyone except his first true love Sally…
Anyway to make a long story short…Ed finally emerges from his coma with the unique ability to answer any question succinctly. Worldly Knowledge he never knew he even possessed…with this knowledge he knew he was on an instant mission to cure the world of ignorance…and this is exactly what he set out to do!
Is this another bible discrepancy?
IIRC GOD created Adam and Eve to work the garden, NOT Ed and Eve.
Unless there’s some connection between Ed and Eden? :eek:
Sure, but how many times did Clark Kent say, “Me? Superman? Wow, you sure have an active imagination, Lois.”
I don’t suppose Ed’s wife is named Lillith, is it?
Maybe Cecil will finally pay us another visit and clear this mess up. He hasn’t been here in like an eternity.
Another thought…
Isn’t Ed like a nickname for an editor? and whoever knew any real person with the name Zotti? Maybe we’re going at this all wrong?
So you’re calling Cecil a liar?
God’ll get ya for that Ashtar
He’s left-handed when his right one is busy.
So Cecil is really superman, all becomes clear. Then Eve would be Louis Lane, and Ed Zotti would be the editor at the daily planet.
Ed White?
Perry Zotti? (A pernicious vintage, taciturn and surly, grown on the prairies under the Hawk. Goes well with roast goat.)
