And C K would NEVER spread misinformation about such a sensitive subject…
Wait, let me get this straight. Someone “outs” Cecil as being Ed, and the response is that the interviewer got Ed drunk and therefore anything he said can’t be taken as gospel?
Gotta love all-purpose alibis like that, huh? 
I don’t have the time but someone should try to do some genealogy on Cecil Adams and Ed Zotti to see what they can come up with 0.o
Well, you asked for genealogy…
Ed Zotti once mentioned in an interview (its available online, at http://www.annonline.com/interviews/990325/biography.html ) that his father was a trainer of homing pigeons, one of the few people left in “that obscure hobby,” as he puts it.
There is a Ray Zotti, who runs the Southside Concourse Homing Pigeon Club in Oak Park, IL. My guess is that’s pops.

In addition… in THIS Straight Dope article:
http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a1_016.html
CECIL ADAMS says that HIS father raised homing pigeons. No note saying that it was Ed’s. If you listen to Ed’s interview on Annonline.com, he states rather conclusively that Cecil asked him to ask his own father. This proves, rather conclusively, that Ed Zotti and Cecil Adams are one and the same person.
(And the little lurker shall lead them.)

I suspect this is an important clue. The baby pigeons are offspring of the homing pigeons, who carried the poison to the conservatory, which means the butler did it.
Egads, whitetho, you’re right!
And, as I quote:
Little Ed AND I.
Two separate people engaged in this conversation. One Cecil Adams, Cubs fan, well-endowed (so I’m told), side of building knocker-outter, odd sexual encounterer with females from St. Louis; and one Edward Zotti, father who had a mysterious homing pigeon hobby. Different people.
That proves it! :mad:
Or one person suffering from multiple-personality disorder. 
dan, you’re slowly destroying the faith of millions
Hey, wait! <b>I’m</b> the shatterer of dreams here! No fair!

Muahahahahahaha!
I do all the research, and dantheman gets all the credit. If I was into 1920’s style death rays, I’d totally shoot you with one.
