YES!HE IS EL GUERROUJES BROTHER. I THINK HE'S YOUNGER HE RAN LAST YEAR ON A COUPLE OF RACES IN EUROPE.
Indeed, Fethi is Hicham's brother. He has another brother named Steve El Guerrouj who is now 16 and making is way through the system.
Wasn't that Hank El Guerrouj? His sister Buffy is pretty good also.
Hicham's father, Phil El Guerrouj, was quite speedy in his day as well.
Man, you guys are so funny I forgot to laught. What a bunch of bozos. El Guerroudj in Morrocco is like SMith in the USA. Get a life.
That's right, Six Pack, El Guerrouj is such a common surname in Marrakesh, they even sing novelty songs like:
John Jacob Jingleheimer El Guerrouj,
His name is my name to,
Whenever we go out,
the people always shout,
(everybody) There's goes John Jacob Jingleheimer El Guerrouj!!!
Yes, and one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in Morocco is El Guerrouj Kline Beecham. And who can forget the 80's Moroccan band The El Guerroujes? I think I have a few of their tapes floating around my car, in fact. In the 19th century and before, where do you think you went to if you needed some metalworking done in Morocco? You went to the Blackelguerrouj, that's where. Finally, where are artifacts of Moroccan culture, history, and innovation through the ages kept on display for the public to see? The El Guerroujsonian, of course.
Dont forget the ever so popular fast food restaurant McEl Guerrouj. Over a billiion falafels served every day.
And of course that fire arms maker..El Guerrouj and Wesson
don't forget Kentucky Fried Guerrouj and Guerrouj Hut.
US Miler still has 'tapes' in his car? is he from the 19th century?
Dude named Geoff El Guerrouj won Boston in the 80s. The despicable Dr. El Guerrouj always ruined it on Lost in Space when it looked like the Robinson's would reach Earth again. And who can forget Tommie El Guerrouj's and John Carlos's black power salute in '68?
In the 18th century, Adam ElGuerrouj wrote "The Wealth of Nations" which is considered to be the blueprint for capitalism.
In should also be noted that during World War I, many German immigrants in the US legally changed their last names from Schmidt to ElGuerrouj in order to avoid ethnic reprisals.
I was in Casablanca last year and there were tons of "McElGuerrouj" fast food restaurants.
They had a special "Super Jihad Meal" that consisted of Boiled Camel Rump Burger, Fried Falafel, and Super Size Milk Tea.
I super-sized the meal, but he Falafel made me fart horribly bad.

Don't forget those fabulous gassy green apples. Granny El Guerrouj.
Oh my gosh, thank you guys so much! that is the funniest stuff I've seen on the boards in forever. Seriously, my whole house is wondering if I'm ok cuz' I'm laughing so hard right now. Keep em' coming.
How can a house wonder? Do you live in one of those new "smart" houses, with a Hal-like computer monitoring everything a little TOO closely? If so, tell us about it.
the most salient examples of progressive Moroccan science and history are housed in the El Guerroujsonian Museum. This even includes a mock-up at the Moroccan attempt at an atom bomb, which but for the substition of dates and olives for uranium and plutonium, could have blown their enemies to El Guerroujereens.
The brave Captain John El Guerrouj, with the help of his Indian friends, helped settle this great nation (reference Disney's Pochohontas). Old timers may remember the short-lived 70s TV series about two cowboys on the lam - Alias El Guerrouj and Jones. And I've got $10 says Emmitt El Guerrouj breaks the all time rushing record this year.
P.S. - IMHO, U.S. Miler is the winner so far. Good stuff.
