Cecil talked to me. Twice. In two different threads.
I believe in him. I’d sell my soul, my family, and my left testicle (but not my right, I’m kinda attached to it) for him.
If you believe in Cecil, then clap your hands!
<little girl voice> “I do believe in Cecil! I do, I do!” </little girl voice>
Seriously, I don’t think I even believe in God, but I want to believe in Cecil. But it would be ironic if he is the biggest sock of all time, no?
A few weeks back, out of the blue, my three year old son asked if I believed in God, Buddha or Santa Claus, apparently as exclusive options. There’s gotta be a way to work Cecil in there somehow. Maybe Zotti. I dunno about Fenris, though.
[sub]On the Fenris X/Y chromosome issue, I think Feynn has something to do with it. That’s what always through me off. And the talent thing.[/sub]
But Feynn is also male!

Grammatically correct is the following.
Neither of us is a corporation.
Neither of us is Ed.
I believe in Cecil Adams the Father Figure Almighty, Maker of The Straight Dope and the fight against ignorance: And in Ed Zotti his faithful editor, our Overseer; who was conceived by The Teeming Millions, born of great Molly McCree, suffered under the ignorance of the unwashed masses, was flamed, winced, and flamed back; he descended into The BBQ Pit; the third day he rose again from the dead (after his second cup of coffee); he ascended to The Chicago Reader, and sitteth on the right hand of Cecil the Granddaddy Of Them All; from thence he shall come to judge the stupid and the trite.
I believe in The Teeming Millions; The Straight Dope Message Board; the communion of Moderators and Administrators; the stomping out of ignorance; the resurrection of pride after such stomping; and the threads everlasting.
Amen.
(I also believe that if I wish and pray and bug long and hard enough, he will post to this thread before he goes back to lurking.)

I believe in Cecil, of course I also believe flying monkeys will come shooting out my butt.
OW!
No, I don’t have a banana!
What? Well, I think simians are covered under the category of General Aviation, but you may want to call the FAA first.
OW!
How many of you guys are up there?
Well, you just answered your own question there.
Cecil Adams is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me read interesting columns;
he leads me besides those who do not understand;
he restores my soul.
He leads me in informed paths for education’s sake.
Even though I walk in the darkest valley,
I fear no ignorance;
for you are with me;
your words and your wit–
they comfort me.
You prepare a column before me
in the presence of the unwashed;
you anoint my head with knowledge;
my cup overflows.
Surely wisdom and understanding shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the Straight Dope
all my life long.

He knows! Our underground agents will be contacting you shortly. You’ll need to change your id to kebbis, now. 
Hallelujah! A blessed miracle! I believe! I BELIEVE!

Hmmm, that bodes well for me 
Socks are not entitled to opinions. Besides, people have seen Ed and me in the same room at the same time. Dallas area dopers can confirm that I am, in fact, female, and a real person.
Back when this web board was first set up, I DID make another username. I used it twice, but purely as a joke. My “other” name is Vinnie. When we decided to disallow multiple usernames, I refrained from using that name. There have been times when I’ve really, REALLY wanted to use that name…but it wouldn’t do.
I have never made a secret of the fact that I was Vinnie. In fact, the only reason I made the second name was because it was an old joke from the AOL board.
Oh I believe in Cecil
He knows his stuff
That sexy thing
Oh I believe in Cecil
He can’t be wrong
That sexy thing
