My God (Cecil) have you forsaken us?

[SandyHook]

Wow! Got in on the first page of an actual “Cecil Thread.”

[Airman_Doors_USAF]

I would never jump on the bandwagon. No, never.

Hey Cecil. Good to see you.

[davidm]

People, People, Calm Down! We’re supposed to be hardheaded skeptics here. Everyone is immediately assuming that this is a real visitation. This is very likely just a trick of the light or condesation on a dirty window or something. Geeze!

[Berkut]

I saw an image of Cecil in my danish this morning.

[Smeghead]

Nonsense. He couldn’t have, because he was quite clearly appearing in my scrambled eggs at the time.

[benthames]

Now all y’alls need to settle down. I Enjoy Cecil’s Columns. However, I do not worship, idolize, bow, kowtow, hail, praise, or in anyway honor his presence on this thread like you people do.

Master? Great one? Dark Lord? Royal? All right, whatever trips your trigger.

You’re both wrong; his face appeared on the wooden door of my kitchen cabinet, I knew it was him because it looked the same as the time when his face appeared on a ripening banana in my fruit bowl.

On my screen, you’re the first post of page 2.

**I predict this thread will now grow to at least five pages, as everyone rushes to post under Cecil.

Of course, that’s not what I’m doing at all. Nope. **

Count me in

**Um…why does Cecil speak of himself in the third person? **

Aha!!! So that’s Cecil’s secret identity… fatherjohn!

:dubious:

[t-keela]

Damn, I ought to be able to get a sig. out of this thread somehow, huh?

If Esprix can do it…

[HerMajestyLorna]

Do it, t-keela.

And congrats on luring him in…

Sorry ** SandyHook ** but as I see it, you are strictly 2nd page material.

**Cecil is mindful of the rising tide of ignorance and will smite the unrighteous soon. However, right now he is enjoying a little veg time in the hammock and watching the Cubs tank. This fills me with thoughts of futility and waste and puts me in the mood for dealing with the Teeming Millions. See you after Labor Day. **

Smite them? I know we’re fighting ignorance and all, but I never knew it was gonna get physical. Nevertheless, I will not hesitate to take up arms against the ignorant if you so desire.

You were top of third page here.

Go to the Straight Dope Home Page and to the section called “Buy Stuff” and scroll down and look at the T-shirt.

OK, buy the T-shirt.

My point is that the violence of smiting ignerrence has always been inherent in the system.

I can’t help but notice that Cecil got off the hammock to post on my birthday. Coincidence? Nah…

[nitroglycerine]

Cecil, I apologize for anything I may have posted that was not up to the high standards of the SDMB. I must respectfuly request, however, that if you smite me, please do it using your 1920s style death ray.
Thank you,

Jon
