What do you think the chances are that Cecil has a secret screen name or two on this board, so that He can move amongst us, tweak us, play with us, interact with us undetected? Kinda like the message board equivalent of celebrity dark glasses and a paste-on beard.
The citizens of Dope Town are as a whole very witty and bright, of course, but I find certain ones whose writing is so consistently, “professionally,” hysterically funny/creative/unique, that I wonder…Who might he be??? (Of course, I’m sure there ARE plenty of professional writers and humorists residing here, or should-bes.)
Yay or nay; whaddaya think? And if yay, WHO would you name as Possibly Cecil? Even if you know for a fact that person isn’t/couldn’t be Him, play anyway. Who here slays you enough to be put in that class?
*Disclaimer: Cecil, I do not mean to be blasphemous. I apologize if my insinuation that you would ever have idle/vacuous enough moments to find toying with us mere humans a good or entertaining use of your time is offensive. After all, it’s not like we can tell you anything you don’t already know. Excuse us; man has a way, facilitated by the limits of earthly understanding, of attributing human-like characteristics to its God.
Zero. Zip. Nada. Goose egg. Cecil’s ego would not ALLOW him to hide behind another name. It’s just that posting more often on the message board would require him to, you know, INTERACT with people, and he can only do so much of that.
Ed is Cecil’s friend sort of like Jimmy Olsen was Superman’s friend and called on him for assistance with the plaintive “Zee-Zee-Zee” of his ultrasonic watch, although Ed uses a cellular phone that has a great plan with lots of minutes. Cecil is mysterious and vague flitting into and out of lives like an ethereal wisp on the edge of consciousness. Cecil is not a discrete entity but a smear of probabilities. Cecil is as real as a two by four upside your head. Cecil is you and Cecil is me. Cecil is in all of us. Cecil is the disease and the cure and there is nothing OTC that can cure him, just bed rest and lots of fluids, preferably an ice cold Sam Adams Wheat.
