Darn my computer clock not quite synching in with the clock on this site. (I think it’s a couple minutes off, at least) Three people beat me to it, but since this computer is slow, that’s not surprising. Congratulations on 100 posts! Break out the funky hats and noisemakers! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Cecil Adams \* > So. Happy? Well, he posted to the thread, but I don’t see anything insulting directed at me, so I’m gonna take a stab in the dark and guess there was no acknowledgment of my presence:) Then I’ll go halfway too. Running half-nekkid through threads, that is…[sub]Which half? Oh, which half? A conundrum if ever there was one, I tells ya.[/sub] ---

You know, Cecil’s post really fits my image of him, a grumpy old man sitting on a mountain top. A sarcastipost. Although mountain tops are kinda hard to come by in the Chicago city limits. I’m impressed Euty. Threats failed to get him to come. I and a few other people tried to bribe him to greet us by promising to buy all his books and other products. All to no avail. But a post party did it. Sigh. ---
