You know that no amount of arguing is going to determine one way or another whether or not there is a Cecil. However, when I wonder why men have nipples, or how there can be a fruit called a grape that tastes nothing like a grapefruit, or see symbols of secret organizations adorning the money in my wallet, I feel his presence in the world. It’s a feeling you just can’t put into words, and it’s good enough for me. Call it denial if you wish, but if there is no Cecil, I don’t want to know about it. ---

It’s really these two old hippy guys in California. I know them both personally: > > There is no Cecil, and you’ve met 'em both? \*\* Well, duh! At least someone around here is starting to get it. Johnny Angel, you’re soooooooo close to the answer! When the doorbell rings in a few minutes, go along quietly and they may let you live. ---

Liber, is that, you? LOL, you’re still using that bullshit nice-guy story? (FYI to those reading this thread, I was that uber-mensch that “was always peering in his bedroom window”) And here you are, wasting your time trying to preach your BS to even more fans on this trashy message board. Haven’t you got anything better to do, like try and learn the English language from books about video games? Whatsamatter, you get paddled too much if you flame Cecil on alt.cecil nowadays? I may be an doper, but I’m nowhere near as pitiful as you… And I was actually starting to think you had something resembling an intellect.

You made me waste a perfectly good mouse click. Besides, we already know Lib is Cecil, just look at his giant post count. ---
