Congratulations, Esprix! I’m very happy for you. Good things come to those who wait, dear. 
Hmmm, now I just gotta plot and figure out how I can get Unca Cecil to say hello to me. 
Esprix, you rock.
Uh, want to welcome me? I’ll wait the 3x10^10 years until I say something worthy to be noticed by Cecil, but second hand glory would help sustain me.
Or I could post every day asking Cecil to say hi until I get banned/succeed.
Or come up with such a good question I get on the Straight Dope itself.
Or, anyone else want to do it? I’m happy with the crumbs from the Master’s table 
I am not worthy to have quote your name. God of posting, your forums have introduced me to a world of staying up to the early hours of the night and I thank you. These message boards have been the highlight of every time I go online. I bow to you.
He’s already directly responded to me, and I’m completely satisfied with that!
I’m just very happy that The Perfect Master actually posted to a thread I am on! I fully expect that’s as close as I’m gonna get for, oh, a couple thousand posts anyway. Congrats, Esprit! You truly deserve it! I’m too new to really be jealous. Yet.
I just find it odd how all of the bribing didn’t work. Instead what did work? Bart and Lisa’s trick.
“Can we have a hello Cecil?”
“Can we have a hello Cecil?”
“Can we have a hello Cecil?”
“Can we have a hello Cecil?”
“Can we have a hello Cecil?”
“Can we have a hello Cecil?”
“Can we have a hello Cecil?”
“Can we have a hello Cecil?”
“Can we have a hello Cecil?”
Unca Cecil, may I have a [sigh] virtual hug from you? Pretty please? With a cherry on top? I’ve been a good girl on the boards. A virtual hug from you would just make my Christmas complete, I’d be so happy. Won’t you give me a virtual hug, Sweetie? Just for little ol’ me?
She’s got HIGH hopes, she’s got HIIIIIGH hopes, she’s got high apple pie in the sky hopes…
When I have 6467 posts, maybe THEN Cecil will welcome me…
Wow.
I have witnessed a post of the Perfect Master.
I am in awe.
Congratulations.
In the off chance that I’m still alive, I’ll look for your personal welcome by Cecil in the year 2089.
DOn’t hold’jer breath. Cecil still hasn’t spoken to me yet.
[sub]And to think of all the stupid puns I plopped down into Great Debates questions about the existence of God and States’ Rights and stuff, too! Hmph! Some guys just don’t get no respect.[/sub]
If it’s any consolation, tracer, you post-9-11 post about the “transformer towers” has made me a fan. I think you were the first to attempt humour again on the board and for that you deserve Kudos, even from the Perfect Master himself.
Humour? What do you m… oh my God … You mean, the new World Trade Center towers they’re planning on building are NOT going to transform into a giant humanoid robot?!? :eek:
Um… Cecil, I have brought this nice box of chocolates for ya. All you need to do to have them is say hi!
Honey
:eek:
THE CHOSEN ONE! CECIL HAS SPOKEN DIRECTLY TO ESPRIX! TOUCH ME, OH ESPRIX! LET ME FEEL THE TOUCH OF THE ONE WHO HAS BEEN ADDRESSED BY THE PERFECT MASTER!
:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
CECIL! CECIL! I BELIEVE IN YOU AND ED SO TELL ME THAT I’M SAVED!
Congratulations, Esprix.
Hi, Cecil!!! I already have your books - purchased them at bookstores, at FULL PRICES. Had to buy another because my sister “lost” one of them - 'twas the one with the “gry” question.
I am…
I am…
I am thinking Unca CeCe should very definitely hire some bodyguards against ye stalking teeming masses…
Holy Zombies Batman.
Y’all do realize this happened a year ago? Don’t you?
