That, and repeating the crane incident could seriously threaten his life, if the wall actually gave out.

Cecil, whoever you are, thank you for humoring us. It's always good form to pretend like you're not the Perfect Master for fleeting moments, so the Teeming Millions can be reinvigorated with the juice of non-ignorance. I'm sure these parables have a true meaning lying beneath the surface. Lo, let us pray we are able to dechipher them.

Who is this newbie Cecil Adams?


He really isn't as good as Scylla at telling a funny story.








Now I will duck and run.

Thank you, Unca Cecil . If either incident had killed you, I'd be here working instead of on The Straight Dope.

Never before in my life have I stood so close to greatness
And that ungrateful woman should have PAID WITH HER SOUL the chance to bask in the warming magnificence of your ignorance purging aura Uncle Cecil, the Enlightened.

If at any time you are in need of a faithful manservant/hired thug please do not hesitate to summon, I am at your disposal

Hey, I am listeing to Jazz, right now

Duke Ellington actually.

Nice to see some fellow dopers, including Unca Cecil sharing that interest.

And both stories were quite entertaining. Glad to see nothing badly came of either.
