What in the world is going on over on that side of the country? Is it El Nino time again? ---

Well, if that can count, how about: "I AM MASTURBATING LIKE A MOTHERFUCK, CECIL ADAMS. 😉 (And whats with the underscore between “about” and the colon? It doesn’t show up in the composition box while I’m typing, and I can’t get rid of it. Is this what I get for playing around in a thread attacking the Cecil?) ---

Good grief. I’m not sure if you’re looking for a straight/serious answer, or if this is just silliness, but the fact is that Cecil is an eccentric genius, and I emphasize the “eccentric” part. He’s convinced that if photographs of him are allowed out, he’ll be mobbed by fans every time he goes to the grocery store, they’ll tear his clothes and never give him a moment’s peace. OK, so I think he’s fantasizing big time and over-estimating his popularity. He’s the boss, I ain’t gonna tell him that. That’s why no TV appearance and no photos. Interviews and radio shows (mostly NPR), he lets Ed Zotti do those; again, he’s afraid that if he turns up at the radio studio, someone will photograph him and BLAM! there goes his privacy. That’s why he doesn’t “show his face.” ---

It’s rumored that Cecil HAS shown his face to select Dopers… Who were never seen nor heard from again. ---

From what I understand the front grille of the '69 Torino was based on Cecil’s face. That could just be a rumor though. ---

I submit to you names of dopers who were personally greeted by the Perfect Master: aha Ultress Grace There are others, oh sure, but have you seen any of these folks around in the last year? And if that’s what happens to folks so much as greeted by The Man… [sub]Do yer worst, Canuckienne.[/sub] ---
