It’s as if some Dopial prophesy has come true. Could the incarnation of Cecil be far behind? Heaven knows we’ve seen more than our fair share of anti-Cecils lately. Happy ---

Dude, I really, really hope you are genuine and intend to stay around for a while, so welcome to the Boards. I would hate to see such a name go by the wayside if you decided not to post again. So now all we have to do is get that **Chicken of Bristol** in and **Mangetout** ’s head (or something else) will explode in ecstasy. ---

Question from the peanut gallery here. I can’t seem to get [BoardReader](http://www.boardreader.com) to search for anything further back than approximately a year ago, but I thought that I remembered the existence of a doper named **Chicken of Bristol** during the Winter of our Missed Content. (I think I remember this person expressing interest in a Phoenix dopefest, actually.) Is there any way to search that time period to see if I am hallucinating or if there really was ever a **Chicken of Bristol**? (I’m quite aware of the unreliability of memory, so I’m really curious to see if this was a real memory or if I’m remembering things.) ---

If they registered and posted solely during the period that was lost, wouldn’t you get that search result? ---

Good question. You’re probably right. I think everyone who registered in that time period had to re-register. ---

**Mangetout** , this is clearly reinforcement of the idea that if something is repeated often enough, it becomes a truth. It is also an indication that the apocalypse is nigh. ---

I shall withold judgement. I am, however, annoyed by the removal of my favorite dig at **Mangetout**. Not that he really needs digging. Crap, I thought that joke would go on forever. I’m sad. ---
