Cecil sighting - is the big guy in trouble?

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

A local band is launching their new CD next weekend. It’s called “Someone Save Cecil”.

:eek: He’s in trouble? Danger even?

While I wasn’t aware that Uncle Cecil needed help, I’m sure that, whatever the problem, 23,000+ Dopers are ready to and willing to lend their aid. Just let us know the problem, and we’ll work on it. Think of us as your personal help bureau.
[sub]And, personally, Cecil, I’m kind of hurt that you didn’t let us in on your troubles. Isn’t that what friends are for, to be there in times of need?[/sub]

Maybe they’re a fanatical Christian sect who want to convert him to their cause and he needs us a save him from them.

3

tavalla who is the band?

Is there a bunch of stray Dpers in Oz who’ve got together to Save Cecil because they know something we don’t?

4

ooops that was meant to be “Dopers” not “Dpers”

Sometimes, man, you scare me with your accuracy.

:eek:

That’s scary. All I knew was the CD title, not that they were denominational in any particular direction.

Now, knowing that, the title becomes a taunt rather than a plea for help: “Someone Save Cecil - if you can…”

7

Oh my! I can’t stop laughing. Words simply fail me. Except maybe “This, I succeed at?”

8

I don’t get it? Are y’all sure they’re talking about OUR Unca Cecil? Could it just be a coincidence? Has anyone even heard the song?!?!??!

9

Whoosh.

Righty-o I’ve emailed them to find out what the deal is. Copy of email as follows

"To Empty Tomb,

Hi just heard about your new album “somebody save cecil” and I was wondering if it related to the one and only Cecil who delivers “The Straight Dope” at www.straightdope.com

I there something we should know, are you trying to convert our Cecil or all Cecil’s? You have many anxious dopers awaiting your reply.

With Thanks
Leechbabe"

Ohmigosh.

Run, Empty Tomb! Run while you still can! Leechbabe’s onto you now! :smiley:

12

Dang, no reply as yet :frowning:

I’m gonna get to the bottom of this story even if it involves dirty nappies.

Hmmm I do however have an email titled “Gay Spiderman” very odd indeed.

13

Righty-o I’ve sent another email threatening to start listening to Eminem if they don’t respond to my previous e-mail. If they are good Christian boys they should hopefully respond in an effort to save my soul.

And if that don’t work I’m posting a NKOTB CD to them as a pointed lesson.

14

NKOTB…that’s a fate worse than death, right there. Leechbabe, you play hardball.

15

Yup, there’s only one step more you can go on the boy band highway to hell. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.

16

I suspect they’re too busy watching Star Trek reruns to read their email right now, leechbabe:

17

What leads you to believe that…no, I don’t want to know.
Never mind.

Gay Spiderman?

18

Gay Spiderman was just a little spidey cartoon, dancing around like Kevin Kline in “In and Out”.

Very disappointing.

And the nerdy trekkies of god whom plan to save Cecil are being sadly silent.

Maybe they think I am a nutso looney and do not wish to reply to my email. Nahhh, just 'cos I threatened them with boy bands…

19

Thanks Ice Wolf for your link I got a couple more email addresses from it and have re-sent my email.

I’m gonna get a reply even if it kills them.

So now you’re resorting to thinly veiled threats in order to uncover the Vast Conspiracy?
