Deep within the catacombs of the Arthur B. Edge Center on the campus of the Georgia Institute of Technology, a team of scientists works feverishly on an endeavor so secret its code name — Operation ‘Droid Dawg– cannot be breathed under pain of banishment from the breakfast table at the Silver Skillet diner. It has taken decades for the project to reach this critical stage, and there were times when its originator believed it would never move beyond the blackboard.
“Ladies and gentlemen,” says the scientist in question, Prof. George P. Burdell, “we are but months from sweet fruition. We have the financing. We have the political leverage. What we need now are the devious touches that will make our animatronic bulldog the most effective faux animal weapon since the Trojan horse.”
“What if,” offers Simon Bar Sinister, doctor of robotics, “we program it to do everything a normal mascot would do, right up until the point he runs on the field and sees Lane Kiffin. And then, via remote control, we command him to turn that sweater inside out so he’s wearing not red but orange.”
“Good one, Bar Sinister,” Burdell says. “Anything else?”
“Here’s something.” This from Dr. Jack Stapleton, long the go-to guy when it comes to training dogs for nefarious purposes. (Google his name.) “We make it so our creation charges out of the tunnel in Jacksonville, and when he reaches midfield he stops, raises up on his hind legs and does the Gator Chomp with his front paws.”
Burdell nods. “I especially like that,” he says. “But we need something truly devious for the game two days after Thanksgiving.”
“I believe I have it,” says Velma Dinkley, a veterinarian who drives a peculiar flowered van. “Our side leads by four points. Aaron Murray throws long. A.J. Green catches the ball and breaks away for what seems the winning score. And my associate Shaggy whispers in Uga 8.0’s ear, ‘Go get him.’ Our creation dashes onto the turf and drags down Green at the 2-yard-line as time expires. Georgia Tech wins. We are triumphant.”
“Splendid, Dr. Dinkley,” Burdell says. “Simply splendid. And with that, we’re ready for the prototyping. Any questions?”
“Just one,” Bar Sinister pipes up. “Tell me again how we got PETA to propose this notion of having a robot mascot to the folks at UGA in the first place.”
Burdell: “I just thought of the stupidest thing I could imagine, and PETA said, ‘That’s a great idea.’ And their shrill lobbyists went to work, and finally Michael Adams said to Damon Evans, ‘Do whatever it takes, but make these loons go away.’
“And now we’re adjourned. Chili dogs — let PETA protest that! – at The Varsity on me!”

This whole idea is absurd, assinine, and pointless.

Their goal (besides personal enrichment)is to do away with all uses of animals, for food, recreation (hunting and fishing), research and even pets. All the while local animal shelters are closing due to lack of funding because stupid fools send tens of millions of dollars a year to groups like PETA.

RULING REVERSED!
POLAR BEARS CREATE CAMPAIGN UPROAR!
Washington, D.C.
-AP
In a surprise announcement today, U. S. Government spokesman Dimmitt Bumdas disclosed that the Department of the Interior has removed polar bears from the Endangered Species List. The move amounted to a reversal of action taken by the Department just days ago.
A somewhat sheepish Mr. Bumdas announced that “the whole thing was just a geographical oversight”. Questioned further by reporters, Mr. Bumdas stated that “the reduced number of bears recently observed in the Artic region apparently came as a result of a large number of the bears having stowed away in the cargo hold of a Carnival Cruise Lines vessel and traveling to the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico, where the creatures were discovered lounging on area beaches, slurping pina coladas, and raiding local fish markets”.
Bumdas called the behavior of the bears “perplexing and inexplicable”.
The Department of Interior spokesman then surprised those in attendance by proclaiming the need for a new federally funded program to “correct this disturbing problem”.
Interior is calling for the program, estimated to cost some $500 trillion dollars over the next fifteen years, in order to corral the vacationing bears and return them to the Artic ice floes “where they are supposed to be”, according to Bumdas.
The plan includes, the spokesman said, a re-education component wherein polar bears will be taught by federal bear instructors to believe that “grouper and red snapper DO NOT taste just as good as salmon and seals”, and that “the idea that summering in the Yucatan is preferable to clambering about frigid Bering Sea ice floes is, well, simply misguided”.

With parts made in Japan, I am the modren man
I’ve got a secret I’ve been hiding under my skin
My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain I.B.M.
So if you see me acting strangely, don’t be surprised
I’m just a man who needed someone, and somewhere to hide
To keep me alive-just keep me alive
Somewhere to hide to keep me alive
I’m not a robot without emotions-I’m not what you see
I’ve come to help you with your problems, so we can be free
I’m not a hero, I’m not a saviour, forget what you know
I’m just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control
Beyond my control-we all need control
I need control-we all need control
I am the modren man, who hides behind a mask
So no one else can see my true identity
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo…domo
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo…domo
Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto, domo…domo
Thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For doing the jobs that nobody wants to
And thank you very much, Mr. Roboto
For helping me escape just when I needed to
Thank you-thank you, thank you
I want to thank you, please, thank you
The problem’s plain to see: too much technology
Machines to save our lives. Machines dehumanize.
The time has come at last
To throw away this mask
So everyone can see

Underlining the significance of this developing story, Senator Barack Obama weighed in on the developing issue from the campaign trail in Oregon. Senator Obama met privately with reporters after speaking a campaign rally before some 850,000 supporters, where, incidentally, it was reported that more than 700,000 persons had to be revived after fainting.
Citing the plight of the bears as a sure sign of the hopelessness enveloping the entire Western Hemisphere, with the exception of parts of Cuba and Venezuela, Senator Obama called for sweeping change.
“These are typical white bears, clinging to their tropical drinks and seafood salads, who cannot be expected to understand what is needed to preserve their own well-being”, the handsome and dynamic young Senator declared. He then concluded his remarks by assuring the entranced reporters that “if elected in November, I will bring change that all bears can believe in”.
Late today, the controversy, now being called Beargate in some Washington circles, escalated further still when a supporter of the campaign of Republican Senator John McCain (R-AZ) joined the growing fray.
Alaskan Governor Bridgit Nowierre, a staunch supporter of Senator McCain in his bid for the presidency, questioned the sentiments underlying the statements by Senator Obama. “I object to the use of the term ‘typical white bears’ by SenatorObama”, the Governor declared. Ms. Nowierre concluded her remarks by proclaiming that “when elected, Senator McCain will equally represent black bears, brown bears, Kodiak bears, and yes, even Grizzlies”.
Meanwhile, reports have arrived from our correspondent dispatched to the scene in Mexico. Associated Press International correspondent Felix Goode spoke to one polar bear he encountered lying near the surf outside the port city of Progreso. Speaking with our reporter between sips of a Corona Light, and while snacking on a mackerel, the bear, who identified himself only as “Whitey”, seemed surprised at all of the attention. “I certainly didn’t mean to cause a big fuss”, the animal explained. Asked by the reporter why he and his fellow bears decided to come to Mexico, the creature stated flatly that “it seemed like a good idea at the time”. The indolent animal then borrowed a pair of sunglasses and a bottle of sunscreen from our correspondent, crawled under a coconut palm, and fell asleep.
Additional reporters have been assigned to this story as the controversy grows to worldwide proportions. We promise to keep our readers abreast of new developments just as soon as further information becomes available.

At first i agreed with nearly everyone on here…. and wondered why PETA would say such a thing. But i just asked my Vet student roomate… and she said she agrees with Peta even tho shes a UGA fan.
Turns out that bulldogs are genetic freaks, creations made by man for appearance. In truth, they cant hardly breath, and cant even mate without artificial insemination.
Still dosent mean i want 2 replace the long line of ugas tho.

That’s two pathetic essays in a row, Mr. Bradley. Surely
you could think of something interesting to write during
this week. How about under-reported incidents in Tech-
Georgia games, such as the questionable pass interference
call that gave the 1997 game to Georgia? The one where
the Georgia player said, “I had to beg the official for the
call” and O’Leary said he was upset because it was a late call.
Just a suggestion.

(Metallica plays in the background). To Mark Bradley and the blog…
Richt Must Choose:
A 6-5 season ain’t sittin’ well in Athens, GA. Especially, when the Dawgs have been tremendously slaughtered by their most hated rivals (45-19 Tennessee,
41-17 Florida, and 45-42 Tech in 2008). Something must change between the hedges. A once proud and dominant Bulldog defense has become one of the weakest units in college football. It’s time for Mark Richt to make a very difficult decision. Either Willie Martinez must go, or CMR must go along with him. Although Richt built a very impressive resume’ during his first 8 years on the job, his program is rapidly decaying.
There are many problems with this year’s squad, but the weakest link over the last few seasons is on the defensive side of the ball. I’m not sayin’ there ain’t play makers over there. There are. And that is the source of extreme frustration for Georgia fans all over the country. You could possibly see 3 Georgia DTs selected on the first day of the NFL draft. If ILB Rennie Curran skips his senior season, he could be one of 4 UGA defenders selected highly by the NFL.
What am I trying to say? There ain’t no talent issue in Athens. It’s all about coaching, or lack thereof. Under the tutelage of Willie Martinez, Georgia’s defense has done nothing, but freakishly diminish year after year after sorry azz defensive year. It’s time for Richt to make a decision. Martinez must go, or he must kick rocks as well. As a proud fan of the Georgia Bulldogs, it’s a sad day when I have to write an article such as this. But, Georgia fans don’t wanna see any more of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDgilYwh-ww
Do the right thing, Richt. Get a real DC or get the (censored text) outta town!
Go Dawgs!!

willie…a great Churchill line…”up with this I will not put”…
Mike Lester did NOT invent Buzz
November 24th, 2009
9:20 pm
Ok I know this is trivia but here it goes:
The original inventer of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket mascot was Judi McNair who, according to the Winter 2004 edition of the Georgia Tech Alumni Association Tech Topics magazine, donned a homemade yellowjacket costume in 1972 and performed at home football games. She rode on the Ramblin’ Wreck and appears in the 1972 Georgia Tech Blueprint yearbook. McNair’s mascot was considered a great idea, as it was a big hit with the fans.
In 1979, McNair’s idea for a Yellow Jacket was reintroduced by another Georgia Tech student, Richie Bland.(Currently a radiation oncologist) Bland, who was apparently unaware of McNair’s prior initiative, paid $1,400 to have a local theme park costume designer make a yellow jacket costume that he first wore at a pep rally prior to the Tennessee football game. Rather than obtain permission from Georgia Tech as Judi had done in 1972, this student, a few weeks later simply snuck onto the field in costume during a football game and ran across the field. The fans naturally believed that this costumed character was acting as an official member of the cheerleading squad and responded accordingly. By 1980 this new incarnation of the yellow jacket mascot was given the name Buzz Bee and was adopted as an official mascot by Georgia Tech. This new Buzz character would be the model for a new Georgia Tech emblem, designed in 1985 by Mike Lester.
So, Lester designed the emblem based on the already invented mascot. As Paul Harvey used to say “now you know the rest of the story”

Cuz- Fantastic! I remembered something, almost. I went to Stratford-upon-Avon a few times. Next to the back garden of Shakespeare’s house was an Esso station. I took a picture of that strange juxtaposition.

Personally, I’d like to see the new Uga be from a breed of real, useful bulldogs–either an American Bulldog or a Pit. English are about as tough as Yorkies–all show.
But truthfully, as a Georgia Alum, it pains me to note that none of these bulldogs can successfully catch a grown gator. Gators love to eat dogs. Sad but true.

Okay, then. You guys have convinced me that I need to put aside the Michael Connelly and John Sandford books and dust off my Poe and Shakespeare in the secretary in the living room. And, find some history books. My favorite Poe is “A cask of Amontillado”. Freaked me out when I was about 13.
