So Ed is Cecil’s (what?) third editor? Who were the early ones? It’s almost tweny years now since I first ran into the Perfect SOB, and he doesn’t seem to have changed much. ---

Thats the thing. Cecil has been around longer than ed, but the writing style is the same, so Ed didnt just replace the previous Cecil. ---

“Cecil” brags like hell, but, as the great Zen master Dizzy Dean tells us, “It ain’t braggin’ if you done it.” ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Coldfire \* > \*\* > Cecil 1 0 lobley \*\* OK, this is mundane and pointless, but I must share it…what’s with the difference in marking scoring? I saw that both **Coldfire** and **lobley** are located in Europe. I watch EPL football, and visit UK sites, so I know this is how a score is presented for football. In the U.S. our papers will just say “DC United 1, Kansas City 0”. Is the format you’re using only for European football, or are all sports scores reported like that? Of course, if the screen shows USA 3 0 Mexico in a few hours, I won’t give a hoot about the formatting 🙂 Sorry for the sidetracking, but this didn’t look important enough for a GQ. ---

Hell, I was just imitating lobley’s scoring. Yours sounds just as logical. 🙂 ---

Ed Zotti was at the ChiDope, not the Great and Powerful Cecil. Cecil was busy. ---

I remember hearing once that someone discovered Cecil’s secret identity, but apparently now they’re in the Witless Protection Program. I personally think Bill Keane (of Family Circus fame) is behind it all. ---

Perhaps we should ask Cecil if Cecil exists? 😃 ---

For a picture of two people who aren’t Cecil, look [this](http://www.livejournal.com/talkread.bml?journal=stoneswivel&itemid=7840&nc=4) from a recent ChiDope. Ed’s the good-looking one on the right. ---

Yes, Cecil exists. And to all of you who rant on how he doesn’t, would you kindly shut the hell up. You sound like a bunch of raving athiests in a church. ---

All I know is, if Cecil didn’t have the attitude he does, he’d be a glorified Ann Landers. 😉 ---

Somehow I doubt Ann would ponder the number of calories in male ejaculate, attitude or not. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cecil/114422.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cecil/114422.md?page=3)
