The Cecil Adams Pit Thread

Hey, I can beat that. And Otto too.

After all, in this thread, he singled me out from all the other Teeming Millions as unique in his esteem. :smiley:

  1. I’m sure Cecil is a pen name, and I’m also sure it represents an actual person. If Cecil were actually a committee it wouldn’t be too goddamned hard to appoint somebody to log on here once in a while and hang out with us, now would it? Seeing as he’s too lazy and looks down on us too much, Seeing as he’s all clean and soapy in his ivory tower he just feels that he’s above the other 99 44/100% of us, and doesn’t have to bother.

  2. Why don’t you guys stop bickering amongst yourselves, you foolish turds? What have we come to? We’re supposed to be attacking Cecil, not each other.
    Can’t you see it’s what he wants?

Do I know you, little friend? I can’t seem to recall ever meeting before, though from the breadth and depth of your post I doubt I would have even noticed.

Diapers and pooping? Oh Lord. Well, I suppose this is what I get for playing with children in The Pit. Carry on.

It would be quite possible for “Cecil Adams” to be a trademarked pseudonym and Cecil still not to be Ed Zotti. Suppose that Cecil has an unusual name, for example (and hypothetically) Zbigniew Mientkiewicz – not only would the Reader proofreaders go blind checking the spelling on that name, but he would be extraordinarily easy to find if he gave his real name, even in a city the size of Chicago. Given his known irascibility, his desire for privacy (even though he clearly also enjoys the adulation of fame), and his willingness to have Ed do the occasional interview in his name, he could very well be a distinct person who writes under “Cecil Adams.”

And if I hear any more blasphemy about the non-reality of Cecil Adams, I’ll send Uncle Guido after the miscreant! :wink:

And right after Unca Cece appears, the Great Pumpkin will rise out of the pumpkin patch.

And Charlie Brown will finally kick the football before Lucy pulls it away.

Could it be said that this thread is an exercise in Perfect Master Baiting?

No. I will not duck and run. I will stand here and take it full force. C’mon, hit me. I can take it. Further, I deserve it.:smiley:

It’s not an issue. It’s pure bullshit. I don’t have a hard-on for you. I think, as I’ve pretty well shown, that quite often you’re not all that honest in what you tell yourself about the world around you. What appears to me that’s pissing you off is that I don’t buy into your usual take on reality.

Hey, let’s be a little careful about who we call a heretic!

I think they are four categories of Dopers represented here.

[list=a][li]The Faithful, who believe in the existence of Cecil, and accept the fundamental tenets of the SDMB dogma, e.g. Cecil is the world’s smartest human, Cecil is infallible, etc.[/li][li]Non-believers, who say there is no Cecil.:rolleyes:[/li][li]Heretics, who believe in Cecil, but claim that he is fallible, [/li]and finally,[li]leander, who deserves a special category for denigrating the intelligence of someone he says does not exist. :dubious: [/list=a][/li]I gotta stick up for heretics. We promote intellectual stimulus, and can even deepen the faith of believers who take the trouble to ponder these weighty issues.

As for the non-believers, feh! Here, you can borrow my hammer.

Just to clarify, for those of you not quick enough to follow along on your own, I believe that the man behind the curtain is fallible.

Now come on, is that so hard to grasp?

**STONE THE BLASPHEMER! BURN HIM! **

THERE IS NO GOD BUT CECIL, AND ED ZOTTI IS HIS PROPHET!

Well, nothing’s perfect. But it is pretty good. :smiley:

Ha! You cannot bait the Master. You can however, summon him.

Cecil, we call upon you in your infinite wisdom!
Come to the Pit and speak unto us!
It is I Copaesthetic who calls you!
Arise and Walk!

The power of Cecil compels you!
The power of Cecil compels you!

Cecil, you fucking wanker – I’ve bought every one of your books (and the original is about to turn into one big dog-ear, so I’ll probably buy it again), and you haven’t had a book out since fucking 1999. Hello?

You fucking kark, would you get on the frigging stick, call the publisher, and publish something so I can buy it?

Loser.

So why does he not post so often?

Easy, he is too busy prepping the world for Monkey Butlers.

He has almost got them to use a deft sidearm motion when throwing feces from what I hear

Meh. I will give it 2/10. About what I would have expected. Not sure why you bothered if that’s all you could summon. Although I have to admit the combination of smug and clueless in the same package does make for a good deal of unintentional humor.

Good Lord. You’re an annoying little fella, aren’t you? Though I have to admit, the irony of your post was somewhat amusing.:smack:

That’s sweet, you couldn’t think of a single thing to say, yet you posted anyway. Although you are consistent- clueless and smug till the end.

3/10 this time. Bonus points for the grammar, but demerits for attempting to use the smiley feature to cover your lack of content.

As you’re into our little round friends, here is one that seems highly applicable to your vast contributions to this thread:
