Jeez, put in a hard day’s work, hit the rack, wake up and…

Poomph!!

The things you can miss if you don’t stay hancuffed to your computer.

[tongue in cheek]I don’t see why you guys don’t think Cecil would break a board rule; he’s already posted a flame outside of the Pit. And did you notice that his post count is in the double digits, and he registered just a month after Ed? What more proof of sockpuppetry do you need?

As for Cecil welcoming aha to the board; “yo” isn’t exactly the same as a welcome, now is it? [/tongue out of cheek]

Hi Cecil!! My friend’s Erica and Julia both turned 14 today, can you with them a happy birthday today? That would really rock! I know you have a busy schedule and all, so if you can’t it’s ok, but please try!

If you’re interested in talking (or reading) about things like psychic orgasms on a regular basis, there’s an excellent discussion mailing list on such subjects at [http://www.jabberwocky.com/lists/sex-wizards/](http://www.jabberwocky.com/lists/sex-wizards/). Recent topics have included how to remove silicone lube, hot-wax play, vulvodynia, diarrhea following anal sex, circumstances of nipple erections, men who are insufficiently communicative to be good lovers, how long after a hernia operation one must wait to have sex, and getting soap residue off of sex toys.

There seems to be a good balance of men and women on the list, although women seem to post more, and I haven’t seen anyone get flamed in the few weeks I’ve been on the list.

There are facilities for anonymous posting.

**WOW**!!! I was _ **personally** _, sincerely, thanked by the **‘Great One’** himself! And, he even said that I was part of an ‘impressive group’! Thank you, kind sir.

\<swooning, purplebear almost has a psychic o…_ahem_ but struggles to retain some decorum in the presence of children\> 😉

Oh, be still my heart, and let not this chance slip away ere I have fully appreciated all of it’s flavor and glory; that I may at some distant future time, whilst bereft of joy, however temporarily, gaze back upon this glad day and a smile once again grace my humble visage.  
Congrats aha!! I just _knew_ you would do it! 😃  
Happy belated birthday Jezebel! 🙂  
Way to go, Coldy! You did get noticed! 🙂  
Congrats to all of the others in our ‘impressive group’! 😃

I was out of town from May 6th to May 10th, so was unable to respond quicker. My apologies. Man, the only time I leave my 'puter in almost 3 months, and look what I missed!! :eek:

I was one of only 16 people who replied? Small turnout. Oh well, hey, happy birthday, Jezebel!

I figure since this thread made the 5/10/2000 threadspotting entry on the Straight Dope main page, it makes sense to include Cecil’s [third](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=23611) 5/6/2000 MPSIMS message he included in a thread titled “Any Takers on wheter aha will get Cecil to welcome him?” where he welcomed the majority of the people who are fortunate enough to claim to have been personally welcomed to this board by Cecil Adams (yours truly included).

Thanks to all who’ve jumped on here to wish me belated birthday greetings.

I’m still in a state of shock, myself. And if I’d known that all I have to do is say something (“I want to nominate this thread for Threadspotting”) to make it happen, I’d have demanded the winning ticket to that big ass lottery. 😃

Ah, well. You live and you learn.

Curious that ol’ Cecil would come to mpsims out of the blue isn’t it? 😉

Well, **Jezebel** , wherever you are (you may be a “Guest”, but perhaps you had an email notice attached to this thread??) . . .

_ **Happy 30½-th Birthday!** _  
(:eek: Sorry I missed this thread the first time around.)
