Never mind that. It was my birthday last month, and all I wanted was a Happy birthday from Our Gracious Leader. But did I get anything? No. He was too busy conversing with Uncle Beer over cocktails and hookers.

But I still Believe!!

This reminds me of the pathetic people who will line up for miles to see an image of the Virgin Mary that some farmer discovered in his corn crib.

HEY! No bumping in line up there!!!

yeah, but in this case, it’s an image of a man with a big “?” where the face ought to be. and we’re not pathetic, just desperate:D. there is a difference.

If Cecil says hello to me I promise not to post in MPSIMS for a week. And stop running through threads naked.

In case nobody noticed (and to my dismay I noticed too late), our Unca Cecil posted to [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=89551) just two short days ago.

If you keep it up there may be hope. 🙂

Of course not. One post from him is equivalent to 200 posts from one of us. That gives him 16,000 posts… better than Handy (but not for long, probably).

Anyway, I just want to say that I think Cecil is a sexy, sexy guy, and I would like to carry his child.

Since **Cecil** is being so prolific of late in ATMB (actually _posting_ and everything), I thought I’d give it another shot.

I have it all figured out. It’s almost Christmas and as you all may or may not know Cecil is really Santa Claus. Being Mr. Claus has its perks, one of them being a list of all the naughty and nice people in the world. It appears that either none of us are nice enough, or we’re just not naughty enough. I think we must all be somewhere in the middle of the pack. So what we’ve got to do is be much, much naughtier('cause you know nice won’t cut it around here) and stand out a bit. Maybe then the great Cecil Claus will grace us with his presence(or presents whichever you prefer).

[sub]This theory can be shot down by the mere existance of Jarbaby. She’s definately naughty enough, therefore she must not truly exist and is a figment of our collective imagination.[/sub]
