Zette, that was _you_??? I had no idea! I _love_ that story/article. I actually met a guy on a plane, while flying from Jersey to San Francisco, who had seen the guy. What a trip! ---

> [@](#): > > I can pad my post count too What a great idea! I can use this thread to increase my count. And it’s all legit, since I can claim that I’m trying to keep the thread high up so that Cecil can notice it. Oops… ---

If anyone gets greeted by Cecil in this thread, I will send them $5 (American, of course…none of that other cheap stuff). Of course, if Cecil greets ME I will send HIM $5…(Yeah…I’m so sure he’s lookin forward to that…). ---

Maybe this is the wrong approach. Cecil may not respond well to begging. Lessee, what motivates Cecil? Well, he does like to fight ignorance. So if we post some truly ignorant stuff to this thread, maybe he’ll come in to fight it! I’ll start. Have you heard about the guy who woke up after a wild night with a girl he just met, and discovered he was in a bathtub filled with ice, and had a terrible scar on his lower back… ---

Yeah, I heard that story…the bathtub the guy woke up in was in the White House, where it had been installed by Millard Fillmore and H.L. Mencken. ---

Yeah, and did you know that there are only two words in the English language that end in -gry? Angry and Hungry. Yup. That’s it. IT’S TRUE I TELL YOU! Don’t believe what anyone else says, because it’s obviously wrong. No matter what. ---

According to the papers, Sir Alec Guinness was stopped by a 12 year old who told him that he had seen Star Wars over 100 times. Guinness, who was always polite, asked the boy to promise him never to see Star Wars again. So it is with Cecil. Why do you want to talk with him? My plumbers tell me (and they are often wrong) that Cecil Adams is a typical Chicago Reader liberal, lives modestly in a house he renovated near Wrigley Field and is active in local environmental and historical preservation issues. John Cusack would play him in a film. But then again, there is no Cecil, only us, the teeming millions huddled against the cold.
