A thread about doper’s ten year anniversaries on the board gave me a nostalgic flash from the old AOL message board. I remember a graphic of Cecil’s brain pulsating in a jar. Does a picture of that exist out there somewhere? I just have an urge to see that again.

Lemme find out – it’s copyrighted material, of course. (The graphic, not Cecil’s brain. Though now that I think about it …)

Anyway, I’ll ask if we can post a shot for old times sake.
