ATL Idol: Frolic & Detour’s Farewell
[Ed. note: This is the farewell post of FROLIC & DETOUR, who was recently eliminated from ATL Idol, the “reality blogging” competition that picked ATL’s new editor. It is marked with F&D’s avatar (at right).]
I’ve speculated about whether Sophist and I know each other. Well, we do. We wrote the HLS Parody together. Now I know that Shawn Johnson wasn’t BSing when she said she was thrilled that her team finished 1-2 in the all-around. I got the silver, but they’re playing my
Shortly after Elie won his job, I accepted an offer I’d been hoping for. As soon as I wind things up at the firm, I’ll be starting a new job in the law school world. Gold on beam! I think this worked out the right way for everyone. Thanks for the ride.
Love,
Frolic

I AM FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!! IFINALLY DID IT!!!!!!!!!! FOZHILLE MY NMIZZLE YALL..
HATERS GO AND REST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOLL@@@@@@@@@@@ WORLD!!!!!!!!!
Good luck to you, F&D. Nice blogging.
You'll be missed.
NOT!
Your national anthem? Because you went to Harvard? No wonder y'all are such douchebags.
Congrats 1 - looks like you really wanted this.
Yes, but Shawn Johnson finally won gold (earlier today). But you will forever remain the bridesmaid - try not to think how different your life would be had you won this competition.
Peace out.
Is the avatar you?
You like hot. I like. It nice.
#1 = the guy who, until now, came up second.
Bow Wow old friend, bow wow.
Pity the poor students at whatever TTT F&D has gone to.
Congrats F&D, glad to hear things worked out for you.
Personally, I'm looking forward to commenting on the "Fall Recruiting Open Thread: Vault 1115-1120 (2009)" thread.
Go Douchemeir & A'Wipe LLP!!!!!
Is Harvard prestigious?
This post makes me extra glad F&D didn't win. She would have been the Tyra Banks of blogging, viewing every subject as another opportunity to talk about herself in a glowing manner. Please go away forever F&D. Yech.
But wait--"shortly after "Elie won his job"?
Elie?
Sophist is a WOOMAN!!!!!
YLS to HLS. this blog is a sinking ship. What's next, Columbia?!

Congrats F&D, and good luck. Show the 1Ls what penicillin really feels like.
--Elie
F#CK Harvard.
#6 -- Genius, that's what the "gold on beam" reference was.
"Shortly after Elie won his job, I accepted an offer I'd been hoping for. "
Let me see if I understand this. You were hoping to accept the offer from a school and yet you wasted our time by participating in this contest? I mean really.
Thanks for the spoiler alert about tonight's Olympics broadcast.
What is wrong with keeping one's options open?
22,
This is 20.
Umm......nothing wrong with that at all.
What's wrong with a little snark directed towards F&D?
Seriously? Both from Harvard? First they take all the legal jobs, now they're moving into comedy? Harvard kids couldn't possibly be funny - certainly not the ones i know.
How much does the EIC of ATL pay anyways?
What a sore loser.
I think you lost because F&D is plural and you are singular.
Also, maybe you should go back into time in attend YLS.
HTH.
Congrats F&D. Glad it worked out for you.
4, seriously? you're that dense?
All your base are belong to HLS.
Harvard,
The San Diego State of the East.
Congrats F&D! Good luck!
25, why not serve a FOIA?
Everyone, why is there a Penn emblem on F+D's emblem consortium?
The flag of Penn represents Marin, who finished in bronze medal position.
Oh dear. Any HLS student that feels this strongly about their school = douche5000. But then again, the astute knew F&D was bad news when she introduced herself as an "Ivy League girl with a Midwestern attitude."

Self-righteous Harvard graduate. If you were so special, you wouldn't be fighting it out for a BLOGGING job. Go do something productive. Better yet, do something counterproductive: bill some hours. Just don't bore us by describing the ennui.
Congrats and good luck. Blogging isn't for everyone.
Congrats on the new gig F&D. I enjoyed reading your posts during the competition. Pay no attention to all the negative comments -- really, these guys just don't know how to say anything nice.
Good luck!
F&D, you were good, and you had my vote. Good luck at your law school gig.
I agree with 14 and 20. Sorry Elie but a better quote is "the first nights the toughest mo doubt about. They march you in naked as the day you were born, half blind and and skin burning from that delousing shit. when they put you in that cell and the bars slam home and you know it's for real."
FD we award you no points and may god have mercy on your soul.
Was very happy that Shawn won a gold on the beam! And a teaching job at Penn is pretty golden....
Good luck!
hey FD go check out the article Bess Levin posted from radar magazine....possible career alternative...prob pays more than blogging
I am little disappointed that both of the finalists were liberals. This blog is one of the few that gives voice to conservatives. Hopefully, that will still continue.
Omg, 41, you're such a retard. She didn't accept a teaching job at Penn, the Penn flag is up there because it represents Marin, the one who came in third.
Taking "Fair Harvard" as your anthem?
Here's something more appropriate:

Hey 15 - You must be thinking of "Ellie," which is generally a woman's name. "Elie," like "Eli," is generally a man's name.
Sour. Grapes.
That is all.
Why don't commenters realize that by being an asshole at this stage, you're making sure that the grapes actually ARE sour? In other words, you're proving that F&D is better off in a different job where there is less exposure to abuse.
Yes, she is. And we as readers are better for it.
The only version of Fair(y) Harvard I enjoy is the one abruptly interrupted by Roger Meyers Jr. throwing his desk placard at the singer.
There should be a Vanderbilt flag sharing the third spot.
50, you sir have the mannerisms of a Yalie.
