He’s not Ed, he’s not Tuba, he’s not Jillgat. He might be Arnold, but I doubt it. Do you believe in Cecil?
Yes!! I believe!!
[sub]hey, Smallville is on…[/sub]
What’s not to believe in?
He’s all of us.
Yes, Virginia…
I could just sit around,
Readin’ the Straight Dope all day long.
As long as I’m readin’ the Straight Dope
I’m learnin’ what’s right or wrong.
And who knows,
Maybe I’ll come up with a thread
To make people want to stop
Promoting ignorance
An’ kill an urban legend dead!
I believe in Cecil
I believe th’ Straight Dope
I believe in Cecil
I believe th’ Straight Dope
Cecil’s the Straight Dope and th’ Straight Dope’s Cecil
If you know what I mean
People who believe in Cecil
Are the smartest people I’ve ever seen
So read those books and post those threads
And send your letters in!
Tell the people what you’ve learned
or you’re lettin’ ignorance win.
I believe in Cecil
I believe th’ Straight Dope
I believe in Cecil
I believe th’ Straight Dope
Knowledge is the universal language,
And Cecil’s the key
To peace, hope and understanding,
And living in harmony
So take a fellow Doper by the hand
And come along with me
Tell the people what you’ve learned
or you’re lettin’ ignorance win.
I believe in Cecil
I believe th’ Straight Dope
I believe in Cecil
I believe th’ Straight Dope
Mac Fenris Davis
I am in awe. You do this foe a living…right?
Fenris once again proves she has more talent coming out her asshole than the average hack will ever even hear of.
If Cecil doesn’t take notice of that, he’s just ignored one of his biggest followers (and a damn good source of positive PR).
Reeder, I think she’s a freelance genius. But if she does sell her works, she ought to be able to hire Bill Gates as a cabana boy.
Sorry for the visual.
Instead of ‘freelance’, I meant to say ‘amateur’. Sorry.
I really don’t think Steve is a woman. Or is he??
I’m confused.
So what else is new.
You seem to have created a trick question.
First you ask if I believe in Cecil, to which I would answer Yes.
Then you imply that to believe in Cecil is to believe he is not also somebody else. That’s a leap of faith, especially considering Ed.
Uh, Steve?
Sorry.
:: I got this really hot deal on estrogen pills, Stevey-boy. Ever given thought to a change of … pace? ::
(I’m never wrong. Reality just needs adjustment from time to time.)
I have faith. I believe Cecil is a real person, and I believe Fenris is a woman.
Check Fenris email addy. But let’s not turn this into a Fenris gender debate. I believe Cecil is Cecil, not a conglomerate, not make believe. He wears pants just like we do.
And he ain’t Ed.
Is he?
Yup…I’m a guy. (And no, I don’t do song parodies for a living or even a hobby, outside of this board and the occasional friendly challenge from friends. But thanks!)
BTW: I’m considering if there’s a tasteful, understated, subtle way to create a sig with the phrase “Freelance Genius” in it.
Anyway, being male is just one more thing that Cecil and I have in common.
We also share the following characteristics:
Neither of us are a corporation.
Neither of us are Ed.
See? We’re practically brothers!

Let’s not forget:
Cecil
Fenris
I smell a conspiracy.
Even more interesting backwards…

I before E except in a genius!
Oh, and, since it has come up before, I’m male.
