Dear Mr. Adams, I have a Ouiji board. I have sage. I have an effing dream catcher for crissakes!! Get your butt on this board and give us(me) a thrill. We need uplifting. We need your humor. We need Ed Zotti to tell you to come back. I know you read the board. I can feel it. Come home, oh, Cecil Adams. Please, come home. šŸ„° Yours truly: bad, bad, bad beck. ---

Sounds like the OP šŸ¤© # The Wizard ##### Youā€™re a leader with a great sense of humor and a lively disposition. Youā€™re very enthusiastic and adore the arts, the occult, fantasy, and mysticism. People accuse you of being flaky at times, but thatā€™s only because you find yourself in so many different projects at onceā€“which makes it hard for you to focus on any one thing at a time. ---

According to the illustrations of a certain S. Signorino, Mr. Adams is either a turkey wearing a mortarboard or a man in boxers and a wife-beater with a bag over his head. I have also read that he is a recluse, an old geezer, and a Luddite of sorts. Heā€™s probably living in a nondescript shack in downstate Illinois, just now learning from ancient newspapers like the _Chicago Reader_ that Joe Maddon is leaving for the Angels. ~Max ---

Oh, god. Wouldnā€™t it be horrible if he forgot his email address and password? He may be out there trying to log in the the New site, as we speak. Surely Ed Zotti wrote down these things. Cecil ainā€™t got no freakinā€™ time to remember such mundane things. I know youā€™re tryinā€™ to log in, big Guy. Find a payphone(hard, I know) call Lilā€™Ed collect. Get your pertinents and get in this here thread(topic, jeez). [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/oh-cecil-where-are-you-beckdawrek-summons-you/915969.md?page=2)
