Now I don't want to step on anyones toes or challenge any memories, but I'm sure the "Fata" came about not just because of numerous threads but because at least 2 weeks after Fata was in fact placed on waivers (and scooped) some poster (I think he had been on vacation) started a thread called "Rico Fata put on waivers!?!!?"
I am prone to drink/hallucination/moronicism so I could be wrong, but that's how I remember it. I also realize that I am a real nerd for actually having this in my brain so no need to point that out.
To get a sense of it, imagine if someone showed up on the board tomorrow with a thread titled "Flames trade Saprykin and Gauthier!!??!"
Aaah, CP history. Even if I made the whole thing up, it's still good to remember.

In the immortal words of Ed McMahon, with a little bit of Phil Hartman sassiness...."You are correct, sir!"
The earliest uses of the Fata were classic, as was the first time Crazy Joe unleashed the dancing Fata as a .gif shortcut for posting, "Rico Fata is on waivers??"
Great stuff.
