Well, Cecil never greeted ME, the Great and Malignant SPOOFE, so what makes you think he’ll EVER greet YOU?!? (Heh… just kidding… here I am, copying and sending that link to my buddy right now… :D) ---

My birthday is the 16th. I share it with Beethoven and Mark Twain and my brother. If Cecil posts here, to acknowledge the coolness, so be it. If he says hi to the other posters here, cool too. I, however, will not abase myself. I have this theory that all the cow-towing and such probalby upset his delicate stomach… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cecil-adams-you-are-my-friend/141335.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cecil-adams-you-are-my-friend/141335.md?page=3)
