> \*\*Brothers and sisters! Fellow Citizens! For too long we have been oppressed by King Cecil and his “mods”! Even now, the Comte d’Oncle-bière bitterly oppresses the denizens of Par…err…the pit! The evil Incendefroid tramples us with clogs of steel! While they live in luxury, the people are starving! We are sick! I have a disease that requires me to put exclamation points after every sentence! Rise up with me, and we will overthrow Cecil and have a republic! Long live the revolution! Long live the Straight Dope Message Boards! \*\*

\<rousing anthem\>  
\*Do you hear the Posters sing  
Singing the song of angry Mods  
It is the music of the Dopers  
And Mister Adams, their God!  
When the outrage that we write  
Echos the outrage in our hearts  
We will raise an unholy stench  
Like a stinky fart!

Will you join in our crusade  
Who will be strong, fight tyrany  
In all the different thread,  
In I.M.H.O. and G.D?

Then join in the fight  
That will give you the right  
To post freeeeeeeeeeee!

Do you hear the Posters sing?

Only the witicisms and back-slapping in this thread are keeping me from feeling totally repressed.

Never before had I thought to compare Cecil Adams to Big Brother.

Egads!!! That would make the Teeming Millions the Proles!!!
