The Straight Dope 30'th anniversary is coming!

That’s right folks, February 3 will mark thirty years since Perfect Master Cecil Adams began his glorious struggle against the forces of ignorance.

Oh geez… How to prepare? What to do?

Begins putting up bunting and buying booze for upcoming celebrations

Well, we’re throwing a party in Virginia for some birthdays.

Cecil, I’m sure, is welcome to attend.

Ummm, 30 years you guys.
Am I and Jonathan the only ones who care?

I do. February 3, eh?

Sorry, due to distance, I’ll be there only in spirit. Here’s to another 30 years! :slight_smile:

You know…

If he goes another 30 years I’m going to begin to doubt his existence.

Maybe we can do a SimulDopeFest…everyone in their particular regions, counting down the seconds to Feb 3…kind of like New Year’s.

Paul Atreides make sure you pick up some Rumplemintz…:wink:

Or better yet, here’s to another year. Hopefully after that, we’ll have won.

Hey, I can dream, can’t I?

In this week’s The Onion:
30th Anniversary Of 1973 Commemorated
WASHINGTON, DC—Across the U.S., ceremonies have already begun to commemorate the 30th anniversary of 1973. “No one who lived through 1973 can ever forget it,” said singer Tony Orlando, unveiling a plaque Monday on the National Mall reading “1973: 1973-2003.” “From Richard Nixon’s second inauguration to Billie Jean King’s defeat of Bobby Riggs, 1973 was a special year that will be celebrated all year long.” The U.S. Postal Service announced plans Tuesday to observe the milestone with a paisley stamp trumpeting “30 Years Of 1973.”

Yes, and Fire Water. What better way to celibrate 30 years of Straight Dope?

I care.

So do I

03 Feb I’ll still be recovering from my Groundhog Day celebration.

Men, 30 years! Cecil is old!

I will join the celebration in spirit and drowned in spirits. Is that good enough?
