Five years ago today, I decided to stop lurking and join the SDMB! Today, I received a beautiful signed picture of our beloved Cecil as a gift for my 5 year anniversary. I also received a smaller picture of the SDMB staff in the hot tub. I must say, it’s a handsome staff. Except for the guy with the bushy unibrow and the flared nostrils. I think it’s a guy but I can’t tell. Anyone know which staff member that is? Go me. I’m 5 years old today. ---

For your tenth anniversary, you get invited to the hot tub for one night. You’ll be blindfolded so that you can’t find your way back again afterwards, though. ---

Happy Annivers, **Morgenstern**. The complimentary box of chocolates should be arriving soon, altho’ we’ve had a problem with FedEx deliverypersons devouring them. ---

I don’t think I got any photos on my five-year annversary. Guess the policy changed. I did get _extra_ hookers and blow on my ten-year anniversary, however. Something to look forward to! 😉 ---

No. They don’t like you, either. The goat was from that _other_ site you frequent. We won’t mention its name. Wouldn’t want to spoil your reputation, here… ---

> [@Peter\_Morris](#): > > What type of picture? Charcoal sketch? Oil painting? Since Cecil has never been photographed. Thank you – I was wondering that too. This would be a picture of the same Cecil who’s never been photographed? Were Cecil and Little Ed both in the staff picture? Have Cecil and Ed ever been photographed together? [sub]Wait a minute. How can Cecil and Ed ever be photographed together if Cecil is never photographed?[/sub] [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/thank-you-cecil-staff-i-love-the-pictures/625939.md?page=2)
