Your spelling sucks, too. Also, while one appreciates a certain humility, let’s not overdo it.

Impudent pimple, what have you done for me lately that I should brighten your day? Besides, we’ve got enough tacky sig lines already.

Oh, my. Hey, since we have an excess of volunteer asskissers here, can somebody take time out to do this guy? Sounds like he could use a little loosening up.

Three Cecilian posts in one thread! THREE! Unheard of! Unbelievable! Pretty soon we’ll be swapping chili recipes and mailing each other birthday cards.
I don’t know about you other guys, but I’m off to buy a T-shirt and coffee mug to show my gratitude.

Hey Ike, BEND OVER HERE IT COMES
{{SMOOOOOCH}} {{SMOOOOCH}}
There ya go, glad to be of service
YOO HOO Cecil, you’re next
Hmm, mojo57, I don’t think that’s what Cecil meant by “loosening up” Ike.
But, I could be wrong. Acknowledge me, Cecil, and tell me what you meant!
[sub]P.S. The offer to kiss your ass still stands.[/sub]
Damn! Part of the original group of stalwart poster’s critical of recent articles who have now been overlooked by Cecil in favor of the late-coming rubber-neckers.
So close, yet so far…
And I even gave a link in my post, fer Chrissakes…
Would just like to take a moment and say that the whole lot of you owes me big time. 
It was MY post (Stating Cecil has lost his edge), which brought Cecil out of the woodwork for an unprecedented THREE POSTS in the same thread.
And damn if MY post (indirectly) didn’t make this the most read thread in recent memory. It’s as if Unca Cecil’s postings have all but injected caffeine into the hearts of the TM’s.
So, you’re welcome. Money is also appreciated. I use PayPal to make it easier for all.
Joins the line to kiss FRUMYP’s ass.
I think Cecil’s columns are still as sharp as ever.
But he doesn’t know how to mix it up with the posters on his board. Maybe with regular practice, especially in GD, the quality of repartee in his posts would improve. (I’m sure the mods would allow him to post under another username if he wanted to practice up on the sly.) But every post I’ve seen from him has been as lame as the three on this thread.
My advice would be: stick to your columns, Cecil.
DAMMIT!! i Finally get the chance to participate in a thread with the 1 and only Cecil Adams and I fuck up on the spelling. Sorry F-R-U-M-P-Y.
Hey that was only the warmup; I agree it would require Uncle Cecil’s supervision to finish the job properly given the vaguarity of the phrase “loosen up”. Hell, SOMEONE has to run the camcorder.
Perhaps I am talking out of turn, but didn’t this thread start out as a criticism? Of course it did! Until he replied…
–Flup!
Now, I hate to jump to the conclusion that a rude poster with a low post count is automatically a troll, but…
My point precisely.!
And what do we do with Troll asses?
of course, I’m perfectly willing to qualify the term “low post count…”
:rolleyes:
–flup you and your mother
I got acknowledged.
Poor Crunchy Frog, missed the boat again…
What the hell?
I, like so many others here, have always had a deep admiration for Uncle Cecil. However, the few times he’s posted recently (ie the past eight months) he just comes accross as a cranky old fart. Is it just a facade? Is he lost in a delusional world where his intellectual superiority gives him unlimited rights (which apparently override good manners when addressing others) and make him touchy when others actually question something as insignificant as his writing style? Or is he indeed a cranky old man?
I hope it’s simply an attempt to be funny but I sadly feel a bit let down.
This is fighting ignorance?
Nobody’s perfect. Being the smartest man in the world doesn’t mean the Master has to be the sweetest, kindest man in the world. He’s from Chicago, after all.
'Sides–I bet Unca Cece is a perfect gentlemen once you get to know him!

dpr, everything after Cecil’s first response in this thread has been an attempt to goad Cecil into posting pesonal insults or acknowledgements. My insult to Cecil was intended to get him to post something with a bit more zing than his first two forays into this thread. And I got it. I am still weighing up whether to put words to the effect that “Cecil thinks other Dopers should stretch my clacker” in my sig, but it’s a lovely gesture.

This bites.
I kiss Cecil’s ass. I assure him he hasn’t lost his edge. And what do I get for it? Jack shit! Well, I’m taking this to a different level.
Cecil, you have been lame. There, I said it. This isn’t the Pit, so I won’t flame you, (you are so lucky), but I will say this. You have lost your edge. I dare you to come back and prove once and for all that you haven’t. So far, I have been very unimpressed.
[sub]This of course was meant in humor. I am still the ass-kisser I have always been [/sub]
