Have the great Cecil ever replied to one of your threads ? Are you one of the few lucky , blessed people who were actually welcomed to the board by Unca Cece ?Do you think we could convince him to welcome me ? I guess not , but if he did it would be " A halloween Miracle" . If you were spoken to by the great one this is your place to support me in my hopes to join you in the " light " . If you havent been blessed yet, this is your place to join me in hoping to be let in to the small select group of people that Cecil Adams has replied to.
P.S. Will naked pictures , free beer , and cold hard cash help my chances ?
Well, there was this one time where someone started a thread (I don’t wanna tax the hamsters), basically asking Cecil to post. One poster got really into this, shamelessly begging the Master to greet him by name. This went on for days and days. Finally, the Master did grace the thread with his electron prescence and lo, he did greet this poster. The lucky poster’s name? hoo-ha.
Me, he’s never responded in any of my threads, at least not after I’ve posted in it.
Yes. Send me naked pictures, beer, and cash, and I will personally endorse your request for the Master to greet you.
Anyway, Cecil does very occasionally grace the boards. There was a great thread in CCC in which Scylla challenged Cecil’s column about flea circuses and Cecil came in to defend it. It was quite a dust-up, but I can’t seem to find it on search. It may have been lost in the Crash.
Cecil responded to my very first post. It was a response to the column about the origin of the word “Abracadabra.” He basically said that the theory I wrote was possible, but he didn’t have time/space to list every possibility.
Be careful what you wish for. The Perfect Master entreatied other Dopers to loosen up my anus with their tongues. :eek: In his defence, I did call him a basket-weaver, a vile insult in any language.
