Are you Famous Amos? Last time I saw you was after you lost your cookie money. You were narrating a GED class on late night PBS station. I just hope you’re not that guy from Jeopardy - The last thing we need on these boards is another know-it-all. ---

I’m betting Manson. On a side note, I was on Cable TV for a brief bit. Does that make me famous? ---

Cecil? Is that you? Could be - think about how hard it would be not to just be able to hop into any of these threads and act like a nut? You know, just be one of the teeming millions for a few? But, noooo, we all freak out when Cecil posts in a thread so why wouldn’t he want to just cruise around in here sometimes? And he would be the most famous **doper** I’m thinking… Hmmmm 🙂 ---

C’mon, folks, you aren’t thinking! Now just who is the most famous Doper of all? Why, Unca Cece, of course. Which leads me to this horrible conclusion: **newscrasher** is a sock puppet of **Cecil Adams**. :eek: So. Who’s gonna report him to the mods? Not I, said the little red moose. {On preview: Oh, horsenuts! I missed the second page. Oh, well - let it ride.} ---

> [@AwSnappity](#): > > If Cecil had a sock, would he get banned? Or would the admins let it slide? Stay with me here, I think this idea has legs. Cecil’s real name is Cecil Adams. He gets at least one pass at anonymity, doesn’t he? I mean my real name’s not **smartini** and I’ll bet yours is not **AwSnappity** 😉 So I think Cecil deserves the same. :: pulls up a chair for Cecil :: ---
