Hey, neat. I'll remind people that it was Mr. Duggan who suggested the name, and as you probably all know without me saying again, it's from THE MALTESE FALCON: Gutman's parting words are "And to you, Miss O'Shaughnessy, adieu. I leave you the rara avis on the table as a little memento." That imbecile! That bloated idiot!
