Not that anyone reads this anymore, and who can blame you. We've been asleep at the wheel:
But, last weekend, we were all in Milwaukee to witness the special union of Danger and his lovely bride:
It was a fun event where we sang, danced, ate Indian food, gave it about 5 minutes as per Al's instructions and danced some more. And of course, we did it all in style. My words can't possibly top the 2nd video, so I'll shut up now:
Mazerino
Al Waris
Fadilicious

Lack of updates update
Sorry for the lack of posts lately, but we have excuses:
- The weather's finally nice in Chicago and we can go outside to play
- Nothing has pissed Mazerino off lately
- Al is busy finishing up school
- Obama has won the Democratic nomination
- Fadilicious is in charge of this week's content
- We are busy working on our secondary jobs

It's not us, it's you, Fadilicious.
Editor's note: This was written before Fadilicious hastily posted his first piece in nearly three months after being tipped off to his impending termination by an Alnonymous informant. I have decided to publish it anyway since I thought you would enjoy it.
It's been nearly 2 months since Fadilicious' last post and he has officially squandered the outpouring of goodwill from those who voiced support to keep him. Al and I have encouraged him several times behind the scenes to post and he just hasn't made an effort. Because of his lack of motivation and recent budget cuts due to our financial situation, I am sad to announce that Fadilicious has been demoted to "guest blogger who will probably still never write anything." Yes, our ad revenue hasn't been pouring in like we'd hoped and we can no longer afford his fake health insurance. Luckily he has his second job to fall back on, and we look forward to seeing him around the office.
Crap, I got the year wrong, but it feels like over a year since he posted...
I know that you're saying to yourselves, "But Mazerino, it's called Camels and Elephants. It doesn't work with only one of each." You are absolutely correct, and in light of this problem and our dwindling readership (you're a fickle bunch), we've decided to re-brand. We will now be known as "Camel Sand Elephant S." Sure it doesn't sound as great, but we'll be able to keep our URL intact. That's something, right? Check out this leaked mockup of our new logo:
On an unrelated note, we are currently hiring bloggers whose names start with S. Those named Sandy will likely get preferential treatment.

Politicious Edition - Why wouldn't she quit?
If the math doesn't work for her, what is Hillary's rational for staying in the race? To put it in John King's words (since "no one does it better than John"), "it is not impossible for her to win, but it is next to impossible". I know she is convinced that she is a better candidate to win the general elections, but that is irrelevant since every candidate thinks that way. I say this is pure selfishness on her part and the arguments she is giving are all rubbish.
May I beg the favor to know the opinion of our dear and faithful readers?

Friday "Things I Like" Mashup: Politics and Southern States From Which Someone Voted During Campaign Al
We've been on an unpublicized quest to get at least one visit from every state in the US. So far, we've had viewers from 25 states and D.C. and, during Campaign Al, we added a much sought after southern state to the mix. In honor of becoming our 25th state, I am proud to announce this week's mashup:
O-la-bama
Unrelated Camels and Elephants news:
--Al has informed me that he will be writing a response to our campaign on Monday. So, look forward to that.
--Fadilicious has promised to make his long awaited, much anticipated return to the blog later today. If not, he's re-fired.

Admin Appreciation
Today is Admin Appreciation day, and we would just like to thank our fantastic admins for their continued support. Thanks to Eileen, Emily, Heather and Gillian for always getting us to our destinations without issue and for dealing with Mazerino's stupid requests to install a roof on his cube.

We dodged a bullet
All camels and elephants are present and accounted for after last night's shocking earthquake rocked through Illinois. No injured trunks or humps have been reported as of press time. Normal blogging operations will resume shortly.

Ding dong the blog is dead
In light of our recent loves, losses and vacations, musing on inane topics has fallen by the wayside in our respective lives. Therefore, it is our intention to bow out of this crazy game we call blog gracefully. I know what you're thinking--"Camels and Elephants is the reason I wake up in the morning." But, all good things must come to an end. So, we're going out on top.
Thanks for all the love and support. It was great while it lasted.

Reader of the week
Fadilicious was the prime contender for ROTW because he has been doing nothing other than reading the blog the past couple of weeks. However, he was disqualified since he is a partner(sleeping thus far) in the blog.
This has been an action-packed week for us mainly arising out of the "Save the Fadilicious" campaign. Reader participation has been over-whelming, so much that we had to hire people to sort through the mail. As Mazerino had earlier mentioned , you are all winners in our book (blog??).
However, the award must be given. There are some strong contenders, Saiko has researched various possible interpretations of ROTW, Holly has been leading the "Save the Fadilicious" campaign in print, Heather and Trixyone have threatened to leave. On the other hand, Dr. BJ has assumed the mantle of "voice of the non-elephants and non-camels", and has attracted other followers.
After much deliberation the award is being given to Berg, for participating vigorously and commenting furiously. Even though no one seems to care for his opinion, we do (not too much though). As a reward to the underdog, Berg , you are our Reader of the week.
PS: Mazerino your MS Paint skills are sorely missed!!

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.

Reader of the Week: Daderino
This week's reader of the week was a no-brainer. It goes to my dad for finally learning how to use the computer. I understand that he just started typing the C&E URL into his browser so he should be here within the next 3-4 hours (days?) to claim his prize. Apologies to SaiKo, Jane and HP Laserjet. Keep up the good work in the comments, and your number will be called.
Artist's rendition:
Congrats, daderino.

The better sex
As a blog run by 3 men we appreciate our female readers (as evidence by our ROTW selection) and despite pressures from our more crass readers we have endeavored to provide fare that is wholesome for both sexes.
On the occasion of International Women’s day we would like to holler at all the women who have played an integral part in our lives. This includes those who brought us here and those whom we’ve met along the way. If it were up to us every day would be International Women’s day. (Did I hear an “Awwww”?)
*Smoking is injurious to your health
PS: Special prize for anyone who can tell us what a female elephant or a female camel is called.
PPS: We're still voting Obama (Those of us who have a vote).

A most exquisite pick up line
You have probably heard a good deal of pick up lines and possibly used some of them too. This, I trust, you have never heard in that context.
I was at a bar with a couple of friends this past Saturday (not a very unusual habit I might say). One of my friends was telling me that everyone in this bar is stupid while we were walking around. The following conversation ensued when we bumped into two random girls:
My Friend (to both girls): "Did you go to college?"
[One of the] Girls:"Yes"
MF:" OK, then we can talk to you. Everyone seems to be stupid in here"
G: "Are you stupid?"
MF:"Yes, that's why I came here" [This sentence has been slightly modified because of inappropriate content].
I was, of course, laughing out loud during the whole conversation, until one of the girls flung me a look of great scorn. At that point, I thought my safest bet would be to retreat. My friend and I both left and the conversation ended there. I decided to keep that pick up line on record: "Did you go to college"?

Art is for all
Dear average heterosexual man,
Yesterday, I went to a ballet show, the last 40 min of which were utterly mesmerizing. Today, I auditioned for a choir. I also went to the gym, and on my way there, I listened to "Somewhere over the rainbow". Mind you, I am straight.
Why are you afraid of going to art events? Agreed, ballet is not the most masculine dance on the planet; I can assure you however that your heart will not start beating for a guy if you go to a ballet show or watch an opera. Art, it turns out, does not change your inclinations. As much as it does not turn gay men into straight ones, it does not transform heterosexuals to homosexuals either.
Art is for all, heteros and homos alike. I hope you will find those insights useful.

History Channel
Yesterday, there was a show on the History Channel about... UFOs. During that show, a preview was played about a new show: "Ax men" which is a show about people cutting off trees.
If this is not enough indication for my critics that the History Channel defies its name and purpose, then they may be damned for their ignorance.

Douche Of The (next) Week
I nominate my "Arabia" friend as next week's DOTW for reasons too obvious to set forth (read article below).
Arabia and what not
I have a friend who used to think that "Arabia" is a country. That same friend was trying to convince me yesterday that History Channel - with its shows about Modern marvels, ice road truckers, etc...- properly covers the history of the world in general. He thinks that a show on how to manufacture a truck would be a proper history show. How can you fight against such ignorance?
