…and say hello to the Teeming Millions! It’s been a while.

I propose we make this thread a petition to get Cecil back posting on the SDMB.

[raising hand]

Ok, one vote so far…

yeah, I get jealous of people who’ve been greeted by someone. Let’s dilute the value by getting more people greeted by Mr Adams!

I am one of only 19 greeted last time. But that was under my old name, I’d like some greatness bestowed upon my new name too.

Yeah, like he’ll do THAT again. Fuhgeddaboudit. **Unca Cece** don’t do encores.

Maybe you should start small(ish) and work your way up the ladder. Try to get **UncleBeer** to say hello to you. Then start working on **TubaDiva.** Then **Little Ed…**

I, for one, would simply be happy to have a mod/admin use my name in a less than derogatory context. 😃

Hey, I met Unca Cece in a dream last night and he said he **does** do encores. So there!

Cecil’s gonna prove you guys wrong that don’t believe in me!

Personally, I’d prefer to be showered with praise for wit and knowledge without having to resort to begging for recognition.  
But since that’s failed miserably, add me to the list of those who would like to be personally greeted/mentioned/smacked upside the head by the Master.

I would like Cecil to send Shayna and I a picture for the SD People Pages.

That I would like to see happen.

I too would like to be greeted by Cecil.

While I’m dreaming, I’d like a Porsche, and a movie/television role.

Hey lola! How’s the granola?

You guys are begging for attention from Cecil? Maybe you should ask Boris how he liked Cecil’s attention in this thread. [Russian Roulette](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=331). That kind of attention I could certainly do without.

God-fucking-dammit! Why don’t these miserable assholes CURB their dogs? Now look…I’ve got **Mr. Cynical** all over my new shoes!

Hee hee hee.

Hey, **John Corrado!** Great post! ROTFL! Keep it up, buddy!

Cecil will come, I just feel it in the air, Cecil will come.  
Yes he will. Yes he will. You must have doper faith…must have doper faith.

Well, not entirely…I saw your comment the other day in the **Davis McDavis** thread in the Pit, and I got to thinking “ **John Corrado** has brought me so much pleasure and so many warm smiles over the past several months, the very next time we cross paths I’ll make sure to say something nice to him.” I admit, however, that I was not _actually_ rolling on the floor in laughter over that post up there.

{Hah! Now when **Cecil** visits this thread he’ll think to himself “My, what a fine fellow this **Ukulele Ike** is, so thoughtful and generous to others,” and he’ll invite me to come live with him at his right hand in Paradise.}

…but do you think Ed’s trying to wean us from our imaginary friend?

But Ed should start posting more.

Awesome! I’ll never have to explain why golf sucks so badly anymore. Cecil implied it, good enough for me.
