Title: The famous camel ....
Post by: iheartcheese on July 25, 2012, 08:05 pm
Good Evening Roadies and Roadettes

Like a lot of you most likely are I'm proud as fucking punch to be part of this " thing " we're all taking part in and was thinking of getting myself a T-shirt made with the famous camel on the front , no silk road name or anything on it as I can't really be bothered with the making up stories shit when I inevitably get asked what silk road means ! I only tell those  about the road who deserve to know such mindblowing info and being a walking talking advertisement for the best website on the internet(s)  would obviously bring it's own hassles at times !

But anyway back to the camel , I need a large size picture of it that I can put on a Tee and can only find small thumbnail versions which isn't going to cut it.

Anyone able to hook me up with one ?

I would be very interested in getting my hands on a high-res image of the camel.

Any idea how to get the file?

Thanks

I think it is also of great importance that we find out the name of this excellent animal. So far no word yet from SR Staff on this beast of burden, so I gather it is possibly an undercover operative. But perhaps we can give it a nickname! Yes! :)

I purpose 'Amal', for Amal the Camel. But others may have other ideas. ?

^Shit I was just thinking of this the other day. Forgot what I was going to call it though. What about Silky, Smuggle, Eyjafjallajökull, or a dynamically generated sequence of words?

Maybe the camel doesn't want you to know his name. Maybe he wants to remain anonymous.

How about Bill, or Gary? Both are quite marvelous names for a camel don't you think? ^-^

That really resembles too closely to Joe Camel, the mascot for Camel cigarettes. If we'd name it Camel Joe, I think DPR should set up royalties with Camel cigarettes first :D

I purpose 'Amal', for Amal the Camel. But others may have other ideas. ?

What's particularly cool about "Amal" is that it actually means "Hope" in Arabic, so there. The hopeful camel hopefully hops.

I heard that a technique that smugglers use to get heroine/opium from Afghanistan into Iran, is to shoot up a camel with some gear. Apparently, they get high, like it, and learn that they'll get some everytime they go back and forth carrying cargo. That camel looks pretty high to me lol

'Pushkar' after the famous camel fair.

Have you been? It's pretty cool. Apart from the camels and the bhang lassi, there's a 'longest moustache' competition. There's guys with moustaches you wouldn't believe - several feet long. The only problem is, the same guy wins it each year. It's pretty obvious why if you think about it.

Never quite understood the appeal of the shirt myself. Sure, the logo is fairly unrecognizable in public now, but in time, who knows. It only takes one person who glanced at one of the SR beatup stories on gawker to notice.

I consider knowledge of SR to be a privilege of the highest degree.

Which is why I'm in two minds about the idea of merchandising it.
