Maybe I should have used a spoiler box.

Nuts. _I_ have the intelligence, creativity, wit, \*and \*ego to “be” Cecil. Therefore his uniqueness is already disproved.

Does Little Ed have all four qualities? Well, from his recent appearances, we know that he has at least one…

😛

I didn’t mean to imply those were the only qualities that make Cecil, well, Cecil. I only meant they’re where I fall shorter than the Boss. Obviously, another important quality is his infallibility.

OK, now, seriously, discussion about Cecil should be in a different thread, for all that the OP asked whether Cecil ever lived in Ohio. (The answer is “No.”)
