What's he got that I haven't?

In all the confusion, work, and excitement of the last week, including an NIH study section and a trip to give a talk, you may have thought that I've forgotten about a monthly feature that has been ongoing here since the very beginning and that will likely continue as long as (1) this blog exists and (2) Fleet keeps sending me calendars.

If you're in college, as apparently our intrepid blog mascot and promoter of colon health is, March is usually the month during which your spring break appears. Of course, when I was in college at the University of Michigan, spring break used to be at the ridiculously early time of mid- to late Februrary, but that was just U. of M. (I hope). And what do students do on spring break? Head to Florida or Cancun or someplace warm to hit the beaches, drink beer, and chase the opposite sex. Although you may not know it from his calm, smiley demeanor, our intrepid blog mascot is quite the ladies' man, and here he is proving it yet again?

What's he got that I ain't got, besides a rather large appendage on his head to be used for unmentionable purposes? Oh, and a cape. I'm guessing the cape has something to do with it.

You know, I don't know what's more disturbing, EneMan posing nude last month or this.

Regular readers of this blog since before the move to ScienceBlogs a month ago have probably wondered when everybody's favorite blog mascot would return. It's likely that Christopher Mims and the rest of the ScienceBlog editors probably hoped that he wouldn't, so as not to associate the Seed…
Unfortunately, I was way too busy this week to come up with a new edition of Your Friday Dose of Woo. However, there's still stuff to be mined from the ancient history of this blog, stuff that most of you, my readers, have probably not seen. This one, for instance, dates back nearly two years (…
Doing the random Technorati search, I happened to come across a disturbing statement. Indeed, our intrepid colon cleanser was not pleased when I forwarded this to him: Eneman, real last name, Fleet, is an illegal immigrant worker. We know that there are dirty jobs to be done in the world, and the…
I don't recall how I came across this. Perhaps it was while looking for photos of our intrepid mascot that I don't already have, or perhaps it was to see if anyone else has anything to say about our cheery but strange mascot, the purpose of whose head you really don't want to think too much about…

weird. I spent every break working as much possible in an ultimately futile attempt to pay my way through college. (no, I never got any financial aid, student loans, or anything else). If I had any 'free time' - I spent it reading next quarter's textbooks.

How odd that Eneman is posing with chicks, since everybody (well, anybody who's as much of a fag hag as I am) knows that the primary users of enemas are gay men!

That's not odd, Amy. It's just another reason why they're willing to pose with him.
