BEHOLD THE FUTURE OF UGA MASCOTING: ROBODAWG

PETA really is onto something here: a robotic mascot prevents so many of the issues confronting universities who use live mascots while providing opportunities live mascots can never offer.
For instance:
Beer tap. Handy in all seasons, and retractable for encounters with the churchy types.
Never dies. Only requires the occasional servicing, parts exchange, and lube job. Just like Mike Patrick.
Memory can be erased. Hard drive can be wiped clean to remove unnecessary data like "games against Florida since 1991" and "2009 Georgia football."
Built-in taser. Handy for close sideline encounters with Auburn players or preventing struggling fifth-year senior quarterbacks from taking the field if necessary.
Natural aromatics. For men, the robot would excrete the odor of bacon and cinnamon buns. For ladies: pure extracted Rennie Curran pheromone.
Rear-mounted flamethrower. For intimidation, of course.
Built-in toaster. Don't lie. You'd use it.
Will never pass out on a bag of ice in the middle of a game. This privilege will now be reserved for Georgia fans, and not their mascot.
--Accidental detonation. Have mascot designed by Georgia Tech engineers. Request installation of formidable amount of plastic explosive installed with detonator installed on a key fob given to Vince Dooley. Send Robodawg home with Willie Martinez. Vince Dooley, sitting lakeside at dusk with glass of iced tea, presses the button. Georgia blames Tech's faulty engineering, destroys blueprints, and simply orders another one. Bang. Arang.

PETA really knows where to pick their battles. They’re sending letters about a dog who lives better than most UGA fans.
You left “Willie Martinez” off the list of things to erase list.

Are they serious?… those dogs live a better lifestyle than those tree hugging hippies… PETA sucks, eat a fucking steak

They sent the same letter to LSU, but we weren’t going to listen to those pussies.

You’re missing the key here, PETA called for an “animatronic dog” – this is no mere robot – this dog will think, reason, feel emotions, and scare the living shit out of little children: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yya8TaaDV9A
Regardless, we’re keeping the memory wipe feature.

Miss Anderson, you are fucking with my childhood memories. That would make me sad, but I don’t seem to have that kernel in me.
Oh god. The machines have rebuilt me too.

Seriously, PETA can eat me. But won’t, because, meat. SO THERE.

Holly, if the anecdotes that my wife has related about her sister the militant vegetarian’s “sex positive monogamy negative” years are any indication, they’ll, ah, ingest meat as long as it remains attached to the original owner. Or something.

PETA as always can go straight to hell. I’d be hard pressed to think of an organization that is more annoying. That being said, Where can I order a robodawg of my own, cause it’s greatness.

Aw, jeez, this is going to generate a five-page thread on the Tech board about the feasibility and commercial applications of Robodawg. With diagrams and spreadsheets.

Orson, you should know better than to accuse a Tech engineer of poorly… engineering… something. Everything that that dog does would be a feature.

Mr. Dooley, press the fucking button now or this thing reverts to Full Coxian, AKA “repay owner loyalty by ripping it to shreds” mode. Press the button. Right. Fucking. Now.

Bacon and cinnamon buns, huh? That’s… my god, that’s brilliant. (Unless you’re really a heart surgeon, in which case it’s a diabolically delicious plan to pay for another summer home.)

When SkyNet becomes sentient Robodawg will be named Georgia’s defensive coordinator.

Til that Robodawg licks itself, color me unimpressed…..oh yeh….on the Clausen beatdown, I swear I was watching the ESPN at the bar, it was in the hearing impaired mode, and the text read…“Clausen will be out of practice until the smelling goes down”…and I nearly spit out my beer….
….and my God, all of the talk of Mangino on ESPN with his fat ass head, then they follow it up with Charlie Weis, and after looking at Manginos melon for 10 mins, I swear, Charlie Weis looked freakin skinny…

Given the quality of beer served at SEC tailgates, I’d say the beer spout is on the incorrect end of RoboDawg.

@Jack Fact – robodawg is already aware and knows what has been said…
@albino tornado – why splurge on tailgate beers? You’re just renting it anyway. With cheap beer you get the same experience for less money… It’s a fucking tailgate, not a wedding…

Just in time for Thanksgiving, a place for all your UGA joke needs: http://goodword.onlyattech.net/
Lane Kiffin was rumored to have been seen disappearing in a helicopter with an offer in his hand after seeing this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhxK8P0h5Fk

From first reading the comment thread, I thought people were confusing PETA with vegetarians.
I mean, aren’t PETA the guys who rescue abused animals, go after grade-A asshats like Michael Vick
and his merry dogbrutalizingcircus and stop the horror of puppy farms? Cause that’s stuff I wholeheartedly
root for. Not that I know a whole lot about them, so I googled: PETA mission statement.
And about complaining about Uga – well, yeah, on the one hand, really well looked after. On the other
hand, has to watch Georgia football day in, day out. I mean, that’s damnable cruelty, that, what?
Excuse me, I have to go find a real live duck…

@24, RE the hardest hitting 6 year old…
So THIS is what all the fathers are up to when their wives are at those toddlers &tiaras competitions. Seriously, these fathers are effed up letting little kids with their squishy skulls hit each other like that.

in other news, peta has petitioned south carolina to replace their current mascot with a big robot cock.
wait, what?

The EDSBS synergy never ceases to amaze me. A story about robotics followed by an ad for Universal Technical Institute below it.
Side note: Urban Meyer just scheduled UTI for November next year.

They’ve been saying that about the Stanford Tree for years now.

Finally! Something all SEC fans can agree on (other than the horrible officiating). Seriously, is there a better way to piss off large segments of the population than to try and take away their mascot? I think UGA VIII should be given a raw steak at the beginning of each game.

Maybe when PETA stops killing 95% of the pets they take in I will take anything they say seriously.

You should have also referenced erasing the 1943 and 1944 GT-UGA games since they actually have tried to erase them…

Maybe when people stop abusing their pets and abandoning their pets and start adopting
and rescuing pets in shelters and donating money to keep these organiztions afloat and help
animals survive and present an alternative will I take anything they criticize about said organizations
seriously.

Folks, PETA shold never be confused with animal “welfare.” PETA is a vast, rich, very well organized machine, whos only real agenda is to kill any and all ownership and use of all animals, regardless. If you doubt this, you need to read “The Highjacking of the Humane Movement”. Please: do not buy in to their propaganda of “welfare”. It’s pure BULL SHIT.
