You mean him that is all-knowing, all-seeing and the Supreme Master of all knowledge. He Who Can get Away With Wearing These
Not That he Would, But Could?
He whose very breath speaks of wisdom and eloquence?
How the hell would we go about heaping praise on him?
What we need to do is find out what Cecil wants for Christmas (or Chanukah ;j ) and after he posts it, well, then we’ll buy it for him. So Unca’ Cecil all you have to do is tell me what you want and we (Dopers) will do all that is in our power to get it delivered to the Reader in time for Christmas.
Of course he is probably too smart to fall for something that simplistic.
All we need to do is ask the stupidest, most moronic, ignorant question ever…and then NOT ANSWER IT! Ahahah! Cecil will be so driven by his quest to quell ignorance that he won’t be able to stop himself answering it!
Foolish mortals. I have a hunch (just a hunch mind you) that the great and powerful, all knowing master routinly participates in discussions and debates. I believe he does so under a different name (or possibly several), protecting both his identity and the integrety of the discussions (probably uses a made up location as well). If he did not use a pseudonym it would totally distract from the serious (ok, sometimes not so serious) work of fighting ignorance. Any post containing his original screen name would quickly fall into people groveling like -
Watching the Straight Dope tv show was my first introduction to the Great Mr Adams. I don’t know if it was the information presented or the little blue guy (remember the little blue guy?) that got me hooked, but soon after I was reading the articles and books and such and spreading the news about this site. Over the years it has remained a constant in my ever changing existance, one that I hope to keep for many years to come. If I ever were to get the chance, I’m afraid that words would fail me, I could only utter a simple “thank you” to be echoed by each and every one of the teeming millions that read and enjoy and spread word of all media that the Straight Dope produces (get busy on those book sales people) but, no matter how humble or sincere, the words “thank you” could never truly express the level of gratitude that I feel. Mods, please pass my (our) sentiment along, and Unca’ Cece, thanks again for everything.
If he posts, he posts. If not, I was still sincere and I believe I’m not alone in the sentiment. Until then a thought occured to me: I wonder who the “Other” 30 people are? As far as I can tell by mouse-overing his name, Cecil is the 31st member of the board (a little high I would think but I’m sure he has more pots on the stove than SDMB). I seem to be #56145, I wonder who the other original members of the SDMB are? Who is #1?
