Scandal rocks C&E

Some of you may have noticed that one our camels has not been participating actively in our endeavor. While you may think it’s because corporate America is holding a knife over his head people who know him know that’s not the case.

He is actually enduring the barbs and brickbats from other camels and random readers who criticize without understanding.

To me a blog is an expression of oneself, and those who criticize should take care of the log in their own eyes (yes, that’s from Matthew). People should appreciate diversity of styles--so what if it makes them think (sometimes a little too much to be fair)

So as I initiate the "Save the Fadilicious" campaign, I urge all of you to write back coaxing him out of his retirement. Also, if you happen to see him in person, give him a hug. I feel he needs it.
PS-This photo was produced by one of his critics who still found it in his heart to contribute to the campaign.

I hadn't noticed anything... but keep up the good work!

Hasn't the interest of a blog that has become so popular that it is the 7th most "googled" thing about camels and elephants extended beyond merely the views of its creators? At this point, shouldn't it serve the people? Well the people have spoken, and they say no ballet

I will stop reading C & E if Fadi resigns.

Mazerino said...

Wow, Fadilicious has become a lightning rod for controversy. Tall Paul has threatened to resign as editor if he stays, and Heather has threatened to stop reading if he doesn't (that's not going to help you garner ROTW votes, btw). What to do? Should we start a poll?

Don't go Fad...don't go...I need you like a fat kid needs cake..

SaiKo said...

Fadilicious is two days late and five dollars short every time. I spent half my ZS life waiting around for him.

I personally like him but feel he sets a bad example for all our illegitimate children. He should either do better or resign graciously.

Ameed said...

shouldn't the blog be called camels and elephant? and if fadilicious leaves that would make it camel & elephant.

Therefore, in the interests of correct naming you need another elephant and need to keep fadilicious, as it is too late in the game to change the name as you now have (#7) brand recognition.

With Fadi
-delisted from Google

Without Fadi
-#7 in Google

The internets have spoken: our long national nightmare is over.

Fadi has stepped down from office. A new camel or elephant should be elected to serve.

Mazerino said...

I'm not saying its going to happen, but if we lose a camel, we won't rename. We still represent the opinions of camels and elephants worldwide.

hopefully the signs i posted on wrigley field will assist in fadi's well-deserved return.

David Vinca said...

Who is Fadi? Is he that guy from abroad?
I am not sure we want Fadilicious back...the blog will turn into a running diary on the opera, ballet, choir singing, and driving PT Cruisers with like-minded folk.
I think we need some danger on this site.

As first ROTW I say, Fadilicious stays! Fadilicious injects a soft warmth to C&E that Mazerino's underpants just don't offer. Sorry Mazerino, but it's true, your underpants don't glow, they blind.

We should accept all Camels as they are ... even if it is hard sometimes...
