Judging from what I posted in the “orgasm thread.” I think I was mentioned in this weeks column too:

I believe **I** was one of those two women!!

ah…it is always good to hang around in the back of the room with the cool kids…

Happy birthday Jezebel. I’m quite content with the hello I got from Cecil earlier. I have no complaints. My heart is happy now that he as spoken to my best friend, **aha** , now I can sleep at night again.

The morning after…

Thanks for the all the birthday greetings, everyone. Much appreciated.

Hmmm. Still in shock. A great big “you’re welcome” goes out to Coldfire and aha, both of whom hitched a ride on my wagon, yet neither of whom wished me a happy birthday. Might be having to talk to my new best friend Cecil about this…

I want to nominate this thread for “Threadspotting”.

Happy Birthday Jezebel!

The quote above is true, although I was mentioned in Cecil’s birthday OP to you. ( hoo-ha remember?) and I would like to believe that just maybe… I had a little something to do with flushing Mr. Adams out and into mpsims. 🙂

Many Happy Returns!!!

Happy Birthday, Jez, from a fellow newbie and also friend from elsewhere. Here’s hoping your luster rubs off on me – hell, I posted thoughtfully and occasionally in General Questions and GD, which I’ve been informed is the path to slow newbie acceptance, and here my buddy goes off and makes a major splash and then gets welcomed by the Man Himself. That’s what I get for trying to lay low…

Hey, Cecil, I _directed_ her here, so she could fill out your fascinating questionnaires! Hey! Down Here!

(Goes off to sob jealously in the corner)

Okay, amnesty granted to both aha and Coldfire, who have each at various times made me laugh so fucking hard that my nose can now distinguish between soda, milk, and beer.

And Hep… what can I say? I like to make an entrance.

Jezebel-

Happy belated birthday, and many more!

I’m 30 myself, so enjoy your last year of active life.

Not more belated. Well you know that, am I rambling again?  
Paw! Git my medicines inta here! I’ve having a spell!

I don’t know, aha. . .Sounded to me like Cecil was doing his Al Pacino/Scent of a woman impression there at the end of the OP.

But I suppose having Cecil personally welcome me (🆒) to the board was worth 25 bucks. And it wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for that cool Chinese poet, Hoo-ha.

I once dated a gal who had p.o’s. I gave her a few, one time it was simply by walking up to her after a shower. She smelled the coast soap and told me it got her going. Well, maybe that credit should go to the gang at Coast, but I did take the shower and scrub my cracks and crevices

Happy (belated) Birthday, Jezebel!

And congratulations to Hoo-ha. I knew Cecil wouldn’t let you down.

But I thought you WERE Ed. 😉

(Hey, if Cecil and Ed ARE the same person, wouldn’t that violate the “One name per person” rule?)

Exactly. And we all know that Ed would never break the rules, and THIS is our undeniable proof that Cecil exists.

So there.

Exactly what I was thinking. _They_ made the rule, obviously _they_ wouldn’t break it.

Also, let’s break this down:  
\<\<… Cecil and Ed ARE the same person…\>\>  
“Cecil and Ed ARE” is plural. “the same person” is singular. It’s totally illogical. _They_ can’t be the same person.

Sheesh, Jezebel, I was startled clean out of my manners; many apologies.

A belated but sincere happy birthday to you. Though, on reflection, it doubtful what my good wishes would add. Good gad, girl! You have psychic orgasms AND Cecil Adams extending personal birthday greetings to you?!

::mutters and shakes head::

The woman is gonna own the damned _planet_ with options on a few others before she’s forty…

Many happy returns of the day, Jezebel! Hell of a present to get, indeed! You’re exactly two days older than my sister, which is kinda funky but she doesn’t have the added aura of a whole OP by Cecil Adams addressed to her…

_hoping one day to fill out that Great Questionnaire and maybe make his mark, too_
