Cecil

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Dear Cecil,

I do not presume to come to thy table, Oh Cecil in any way other than the most humble manner a mortal could possible be. But let me beseech a moment… nay a second of your time.

You see I am truly troubled.
WallyM7 has seen fit to throw down a gaunlet as seen in the the jdavis thread.

http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=23288

As you are aware Wally is forever stirring the pot.

And a little smartass, namely one Talkinsquirrel has even attempted to lower any standard of communication that we might have with each other in the future with a $10.00 bet. Said bet being that I could not persuade you to come to this post and welcome me to this board.

For both of them I apologize, for they are but ignorant buttom feeders when placed within the context and backdrop of your realm.

As you have probably noticed I am prone to sucking up to my superiors. I’m not sorry about this. In fact I pride myself on it as one sure way to get around on this crazy planet. Hey, smoochin ass…it’s the way of the world ain’t it Cecil? Those who deny it, are doomed to wallow around in the pit of the ordinary and the minimum wage for all the days of their lives.

But let me get to the point as I know you are busy.

I am not going to attempt to get you to say hello or welcome me to this message board with a lot of crap about mrs. aha and iced tea. I know you are far beyond such cheap verbal enticements as those. Even though your lieutenants Jerry Davis and Ed Zotti ate it up like animal crackers. (sorry guys)

But if you could, just in the fleetest of passings… in the wink of an eye movement that catches your attention which would cause you to happen to glimpse the very edges of this thread… (inhale) if you could possibly hit a key on your golden keyboard inside this post…(exhale) well then… that would be something wonderful.

Doesn’t have to be a complete sentence even. Just the word welcome would be fine. Or the letter W would suffice. I would even take a welcome through a proxy courier such as Ed Zotti (if I haven’t burned my bridges with him after that remark above.)

So this is a knee scraping, head bowing, butt kissing ( my specialty) request from me to you for a welcome to this board.

And don’t forget there is $10.00 involved. That would be 5 for you and 5 for me. :slight_smile:

I remain your humble servant,

aha

Geez, now THATS pathetic. All it would take to make me happy would be a WallyM7 sig.

OMG, I’m going to get soooo busted for laughing this loud at work when they find out what I really do all day!:eek:

aha, you amaze me!

Aha:

Cecil came to me in a dream and welcomed you to these boards. Then he gave me this list of commandments that everybody needs to obey…

Manual sig line #17

aha:

You must be off your rocker - only offering 50-50?

Give all 10 to the Big C. Then you might have a shot.

6

Fulfilling a request by the mighty aha, I shall proceed to bump this thread to the top.

Never say I wasn’t there for ya, dude. :slight_smile:

Bah, I’ve got you beat by a good year. Why, I can still remember ole’ Cece’s priceless greeting when I first posted:

http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=38

Sniff, what a guy.

Good Goddess, I feel like James Stewart in Rear Window here. I just can’t stop myself from looking in to these threads, to see if it’s gonna happen.

9

Hoo boy, you’ve really bitten off more than you can chew this time, big fella…

10

Wow you are great at this ass kissing thing aha! Did you take classes for it?

Aright I’m taking bets here!! Any takers?

I still say he aint gonna pull it off :slight_smile:

11

Ain’t no amount of asskissing gonna get Unca Cecil the Technophobe to write a greeting to anyone on this board. I’ll put a round of drinks on the DC Doperfest that it doesn’t happen by midnight Monday.
And it doesn’t count if Ed Zotti posts and Cecil signs it. It’s gotta say “Cecil Adams” in the lefthand column (and we all know what his userid number is too, so no faking it) for me to pony up.

12

So long, aha. It was nice knowing ya.

Not only is Uncle Cecil gonna snub you, but I just talked to Jerry and he is pissed. Zotti, too.

Consider your sorry butt banned. That’s right. Sayonara.

And as a reward for tipping them off as to what a shmooze you are, they’re sending me a boatload of cash and a coffee mug.

Plus Cecil is going to give me his home phone number so that I can call him any time I want.

13

Dang Wally, yer freakin’ cool. Can I touch you? :slight_smile:

Speaking of which, have you gone out of the sig business? I don’t care either way, frankly I wouldn’t be surprised what with all the requests you got. I just hate the suspense.

** You know the weird thing is, I KNOW it’s an impossibility of this happening. ** And yet, just like in the movie, ‘From the Hip’ where the defense attorney (Judd Nelson) says, * “And there is no murder, because here is the ‘victim’” * and everyone looks to the back of the courtroom (except the murderer…of course!) waiting, mouths wide open in anticipation.

I’m just sitting here, anticipating the impossible. NO! Not that Cecil’s dead! (I just know some wiseguy will say that!) That he’ll sweep through the door and deliver ** aha ** from the flames of his fellow posters!! I’m strangely rooting for you aha!!

A-ha… I believe you will get your reply, but guess what, the “Great Unca CeCe” replied to one of my posts once… ok… so the post was that “I doubted his existence” and gave my futile evidence (I was young and nieve, not to mention stupid, but Cecil cured me of the stupid as he has millions) that he was really a creation of Ed. My Great Unca Cece gave me (I think, if I remember correctly) 4 words in my thread… I believe they were “did somebody say something” …or along that lines there. What really matters is that they were unforgetable… completely unforgetable. I did a post search to prove the subject, but I got no returns later then a month ago. Damn new boards.
SO ANYWHO, my point is that EVEN IF you get a reply.

I GOT ONE FIRST!! THPPPTTTPPPT!!! (thats the sound of my tounge sticking out and me blowing air briskly acrossed it… like a rasberry if you undertand that meaning.)

[command]C’mon Cecil get in here![/command]

Cecil needs to make appearences on here more often, he is neglecting his fanbase. Cecil get in here and participate from time to time, please. A few hours a week would help liven up the boards. I hope i’m not speaking to a brick wall. I’d love to jabber with you concerning the meaning of the Universe.

Aha, you crack me up. I really hope Cecil welcomes you… I’d hate to see you come to the end of your reign. Of course, no doubt, this also will be added to your sig…
Keep the faith, all that ‘ass-kissing’ has to be good for something…(I’ve always enjoyed…that sort of thing, myself!) :wink:

Number one, I am un poquito peeved that Aha has only focused his cheesy asskissing on male admins/moderators of this site. Okay, Cecil is a god and Jerry and Ed are mini-gods, I understand that…but a welcome from frigging Eutychus in your sig would give you more points here than name-dropping some of us Alpha Bitch staffers?

Number two, Cecil owes me four dollars so he’ll only get one.

Speaking of frigging Eutychus … any takers?

Euty, could you personally welcome me to the message board.
