You people are being too picky. Be realistic, lower your goals. Cece won’t make an appearance in this thread, he’ll wait longer to make his appearance even greater. As for me, I’ll be content with anyone acknowledging me. It doesn’t even have to be a moderator. Will someone please greet me? It doesn’t matter who…anyone? I feel lonely. ---

“I got greeted by Cecil!! Woo fucking hoo!!” Gimme a _break_, you amateurs. There is only **one** thing that really matters: Cecil [cursing at you like a Russian sailor](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=23950). And there is only **one** poster here that can really say he had that happen to him. Yes, your very own **Clog Boy** 😃 ---

Aw, geez, Ike, thanks. (I’ll have to remember that begging for appreciation does actually work occasionally.) Just for the record- I find most of your posts highly amusing. The only ones I don’t are the ones I think you’re trying to be serious about. So warm respect and kudos to you. ---

As Cecil’s evil twin (who knows nothing), I’ll let him know that you’re all waiting for him to make another public appearance. Of course, it may take a while, since the next family reunion isn’t for several months, and he doesn’t talk to me a whole lot ever since I stopped showering and… umm… attacked him with lima beans (but bro, that was SO long ago! Okay, two weeks, but still…) Anyway, I’ll do my best to pass the message on to him (maybe I’ll have our cousin, Jesse Ventura, give him a call?) ---

Mr. Cyn, I’m WAAAY ahead of you. I’ve been insulted by: TubaDiva, Manhattan, UncleBeer, and Ed Zotti. So far all I’ve got left until I have a complete list is Slythe (who I think actually HAS insulted me before), Alphagene (I think he has too), Lynn, Jerry, Cecil himself, Arnold (think he has, too), David B (not sure, but him too), Euty, Gaudere, and Dex (think he did, too). All in good fun, people, all in good fun. 🙂 –Tim ---

Hey Coldy, if that’s what it takes to get your excitement level up, I consider you a min-numbingly boring buffalo licker. Well, OK, I really don’t, but it has been awhile since I posted, so I am just trying to get back into the flow of things here. ---

Do you think that We could make The Straight Dope into a proper religion of sorts, enouth to please the Aethiests, Christians, Islam, Agnostic, etc.? We already have several books, and his teachings, what more would we need? ---

Cecil may greet you, he may call you names, but has he actually answered you in a column? I’m breathlessly awaiting his next book to see if my letter is in it. Screw being greeted, I wanna be famous! I wanna see my name in print! Available at a Barnes and Noble near you! BWHHAAAAAAAA! I know, I know…I can feel your jealousy from here. Cecil Adams answered my question. So, who wants to touch me?
