\*\*Happy 29th Jezebel \*\*and keep 'em coming. (Bet you look better than I did at that age. I was already turning grey, and that was just my face!) ---

Happy Birthday Jezebel! Some newbies get all the luck, I guess. But you earned it. I usually skip questionnaires, but now I can’t remember why. ---

::blinking in stupefication:: Did I read that a-right? First Cecil himself, the erudite uber curmudgeon, came out of seclusion to swap “howdies” with the Teeming Millions–including ::gulp!:: me. And now he’s wishing happy birthday to a poster?! Clog-boy, re-read the books. Actually, this whole thing is very…very…CECIL. Think about it; he pays due tribute to the valiant posters who scientifically described psychic orgasms. The man is _fighting ignorance_ here, and this isn’t stuff you can just trip over in most journals–excluding tabloids, of course. “Eat shit and die” is actually a sterling, funky Cecilian growl with a smile. Hey, at least he didn’t call you “insect” or “maggot”. And even if he had, it’d still be a friendly salute more meaningful than a few score empty pleasantries. Actually, Coldfire, it’s an enviable sig, though not as spiffy as “Cecil admired my psychic orgasms”. Dang, gotta admire high-minded attitude like that. Veb ---

Aha’s new sig says: > [@](#): > > The only poster to have been personally welcomed to this board by Ed Zotti, Jerry Davis and Cecil Adams. My God, man, didn’t you learn anything from the last time you modified your sig? First, you put Ed second. Now you have the gall to put Cecil _third_?! After all the whining and kissing up you did? You are just begging for trouble… ---

Jesus. I spend a lousy forty-five minutes OFF the god damn board, and I miss Cecil THREE TIMES. Well, I’ve certainly learned MY lesson. {setting alarm clock for 15-minute intervals} ---

I feel your pain, Uke. This is what I get for going off boozing for the weekend instead of maintaining eternal vigilance on the MB, like I should. Wages of sin, I suppose. And Sweet Jesus, aha. Putting Cecil _third_? You get your greeting and then don’t feel like you have to kiss up anymore? I dunno. ---

Cecil, your a tease. subliminal message: [“Cecil up your post count”] I hope my magic mentalism works. ALAKAZAM! Have Cecil have you noticed that your message board is getting bigger. I prepared a speech: I have a dream fellow dopers and dopets that one day Cecil himself will become a SDMB regular poster. I have a dream I have a dream! (Ok, not that original) I’m happy to know Cecil can participate in mundane pointless things. 😉 Hey, could I get a yo? Is this your first thread? -Mike ---

_ **HEY!** _ I responded to your questionaire too, in all kinds of gloriously graphic (if, when compared to the others, less spectacular) detail…and _my_ birthday was three weeks ago on April 16th. ::: pouting ::: Of course, my birthday “gift” was a proposal of marriage by my love, so it’s not like I’m _too_ bothered. But aw, c’mon! FTR…I turned 27. No, no, Don’t mind me, I’ll just be curled up in bed, enjoying my psychic orgasms. ---

Jezebel, Happy Birthday! Cecil, I understand you not identifying those of us who participated in the survey in the column. Although, I was excited to see that one of my responses had been singled out as unique! However, now you know I’m a weirdo and I have all but given up hope of receiving a personalized thread or welcome! But I’ll just take this one since I _was_ mentioned in a way! Thanks!
