Great Holiday Video - UGAg Hitler

Back for a quick hit.

Campus Video

Far be it from me to post things that are fodder for promoting the nerdiness that people associate with Tech, but of course people's ability to make fun of themselves is a sign of semi-well-adjustedness. I ran across this rap video filmed by Tech students that was pretty darn cool.................. References to whistle..............video footage at Bobby Dodd & Centenial Park........ and the "T" from the Tech Tower........... even Chuck Norris............ Was the "T" real? Check it out. Pretty well done if you ask me............. even has a nice beat...............

Funniest line of the video - the Asian guy walking to the car with a Mountain Dew T-shirt with the following line:

"Sweet Zeus, is that a mountain dude?
Nah, it's sweet mellow yellow come to bring us some food"

Also good:
"We goin' get some chow main, cruisin' in the cadillac,
Guys don't worry, MSG no give heart attack,
Chi-nese foo-da
taste so goo-da
Poo poo platter
Make you fatter"

Not sure why the ethnic humor was funny but just was..........

Street Cred or Just Embarrasing

Ok, it's one thing to have big-time rapper Outkast be a huge fan of your school. That is street cred if you ask me.


However, at what level of southern rapadociousness has your school become when a fictional student of your school is the subject of a duet between R.Kelly and Usher. It's true:

The singers' first duet, "Same Girl," hit the Internet Wednesday night. On the track, Kells and Ush find out they've been played. The record is in the form of a conversation between the two, during which the stars discover the truth and ultimately conspire to call the lady out on her lies.

Kelly starts off describing his fictitious girlfriend, who he is madly in love with and wants to marry. She lives in Atlanta, drives a black Durango and has a tattoo on her ankle. Usher then interjects, giving his own set of details about the woman: She works for TBS, has a child and went to Georgia Tech University. A stunned Pied Piper confirms everything, to Usher's dismay.

Of course R.Kelly's first draft was about about a 7th grader who convinced him to open up an ice cream parlor, but that's what collaboration is all about. You know, subtle changes...........

By the way - here's the song if you're interested.

ACC Coaches As South Park Characters

(click to enlarge)

Well, in a link that will of course spread across the 'net, here comes a parody of the ACC Coaches as South Park characters. Pretty good actually. Yes, Ralph Freidgen is the best, but frankly, that one is like shootin' fish in a barrel. Courtesy of the Georgia Sports Blog & KitKitchens blog.

Dickie V Spoof

Over at the UNC board, someone wrote this pretty hilarious spoof of Dickie V's thoughts on the GT/Duke game. Thought I would share:

Dickie here, back with thoughts on Sunday’s action. I thought the Buckeyes looked strong against Minnesota. And it was upset city in the ACC where the Wolfpack dominated the Hokies.

And speaking of the ACC, it looks like order has been restored as the Dukies notched another impressive home win against unranked Georgia Tech. What an awesome performance it was. I think it’s really obvious that Duke has built this turnaround by putting in some extra practice time perfecting the old Duke staples. For example, did you notice their complete domination from the free throw line? We’re talking 28 free throw opportunities to a mere 4 – that’s right 4 – for Georgia Tech. What an M&Mer! How can you not stand in awe at the one-sidedness of that statistic? And it you think that kind of perfection doesn’t matter, you better think again, baby! It accounted for a 15 point advantage in the made free throw department. Hey, it’s not hard to see the significance there when the final margin of victory was only nine. Even I can see that one, and I was a D performer in math!

Then there’s the amazing improvement in the Dukies’ defense. Just think about it for a minute. How many teams in America can hold an opponent to 4 free throws for an entire 40 minutes of PT? How many teams? How many? And did you notice how the Dukies were collecting offensive fouls left and right? We had diaper dandy Lance Thomas collecting three by himself. Did you see how he had the presence of mind to hit the deck on the slightest of player contact? That’s what you call basketball IQ my friends. I think Billy Packer said it best when he noted the Duke players were “feeling contact and flopping to the floor.” I mean they were dropping like bugs after a visit from the Orkin man, baby! What a thing of beauty it was. Yes, my friends, it is flopping like that that makes college basketball the great spectator sport that it is!

I was also impressed by the continued dominant play of Josh McRoberts. What an amazing skywalker he is. And just look at his scoring line. We’re talking 6 points on 2 of 5 shooting! Not to mention four rebounds by a 6’ 10” power forward! And I just can’t say enough about his passing ability. Did you see that second half behind the back pass? Ah baby, what a thing of beauty it was. And it was probably within 10 inches of landing in-bounds, too! That’s the thing about Mr. McRoberts. Even when he turns the rock over, he still just impresses me big-time!

The bottom line is this: In everything this kid does, whether its crying into a towel, cursing after a bricked layup, airmailing a pass into press row, or bouncing the rock off his own foot, he still has that steady composed look of a winner. And that’s why he will follow right in the footsteps of his mentor from last year, the all-time great PTP’er, Mr. JJ Redick. What else would you expect from a program that develops players with such consistency?

And that takes us to the most amazing component of this Duke team. We’re talking the hall of fame coach, the ultimate Rolls Roycer, the maker of miracles, one Michael Krzyzewski. His level of overachievement this year has been flat out unfathomable. Just think about it. He brings his young team of 6 high school All-Americans into the season ranked No. 10 in the polls. He takes them all the way up to No. 5 after a brutal non-conference season. Sure, some Duke haters questioned the quality of opponents like Columbia, Georgia Southern, UNC-G, Kent State, and San Jose State. But the bottom line here is Duke won, frequently big, against all of these teams. Granted, they stumbled a bit after playing a conference schedule that they had no choice but to play. But even this week, Coach K still had his once 5th ranked Dukies in first place in the prestigious poll category of "others receiving votes!" How incredible is that? And you know what it all comes down to? His passion for the game. You can just see it in so many ways. Like the way he slapped hands with each and every one of his players -- even those benchwarmers who never, ever peel off their Johnny Cash all black warm-ups -- to celebrate his own personal record of 700 wins. Yes, my friends, Coach Krzyzewski is excellence unsurpassed. He is the be all and end all, the Alpha and the Omega. He is, in the words of one Tina Turner, simply the best!

So those are my thoughts on another day of incredible hoops action.

Where are they now - Calvin Johnson

So Calvin Johnson was in Indianapolis last weekend at an NFL scouting combine. Along with a number of other prospects, he was put through his paces.

The results? How about 4.33 40............. 11 foot standing broad jump................. 43 inch vertical............... What can you say - guess he must have been really under the weather...................... No seriously, those are just plain ridiculous measurables and an NFL even is not going to have a motivation to pump up these numbers. Unreal.

Now this is a pretty dang hilarious thread from a Tampa Bay Bucs site, discussing Calvin Johnson (as they really hope he goes to the Bucs). Some major hilarity ensues, along the lines of the M.Faye legend stuff. Here's a sampling of the creativity:

The reason Jimmy Hoffa is buried under Giants Stadium is because he tried to play defense against CJ.

CJ is the only known living human to survive a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick to the face.

When CJ makes a quick cut the entire stadium shifts 2 inches.

I heard CJ's tears cure cancer. Unfortunately, he's never cried.

He will when the Bucs draft him. I just hope the medical community is on hand to collect his tears.

Why would CJ put out a fire? Isn't he usually the one burning people?

I hear he is going to replace Barbaro. He was so upset about the horse that he has decided to run his races. Jockey and everything is included.

Motivated by the sad story, Calvin Johnson went on a five yard crossing pattern and somehow managed to catch the Lindbergh baby.

I heard he's Luke's real father.

When Bruce Banner gets mad, he turns into the Incredible Hulk. When the Incredible Hulk gets mad, he turns into Calvin Johnson.

Calvin Johnson CAN believe it's not butter.

I heard CJ can eat Kobayashi in one bite.

Calvin Johnson knows exactly where in the world Carmen Sandiego is.

Calvin Johnson is the only person ever to successfully divide by zero.

Calvin Johnson once helped jump start a Hummer using his nipples. The Hummer exploded.

When Calvin Johnson does a push-up, he isn't pushing himself up, he's actually pusing Earth down.

Calvin Johnson can lead a horse to water AND make it drink.

Calvin Johnson gave Mona Lisa her smile.

Calvin Johnson has counted to infinity-twice.

Calvin Johnson's hand is the only hand that can beat a royal flush.

Calvin Johnson ordered a Big Mac at Burger King......and got one.

Calvin Johnson can have his cake AND eat it too

For every touchdown Calvin Johnson gets next season, Bill Gates has volunteered to donate $0.32 to foundations to cure cancer. Cancer is expected to be obliterated worldwide by game 3.

Calvin Johnson does not sleep, he waits.

Everyone loves Raymond. Except Calvin Johnson.

They once made a Calvin Johnson toilet paper, but there was a problem-- It wouldn't take mess from anybody.

Only Calvin Johnson can prevent forest fires.

There are now five cup sizes at Starbucks: Short, Tall, Grande, Venti, and Calvin Johnson.

When Calvin Johnson was born, the only person to cry was the doctor. NEVER slap Calvin Johnson.

Pigs line up to be made into footballs in hopes that one day Calvin Johnson will catch them.

Calvin Johnson went to the beach and some kids tried to bury him in the sand. This proved to be a futile effort, however, because nothing can cover Calvin Johnson.

Calvin Johnson is allowed to talk about Fight Club.

Calvin Johnson's incredible greatness has been attributed to the fact that his genetic code doesn't have any A, G, or C. His genetic code is in fact, nothing but TD's.

The last man who made eye contact with Calvin Johnson was Ray Charles

Calvin Johnson doesn't breathe, air just hides in his lungs for protection.

Every time calvin johnson catches a football an angel gets its wings

And for the height of weirdness:

Calvin Johnson was running so fast he went 50 years back in time. There he was taken in by a group of nuns who he spent the night with. The next morning CJ was gone and they were all pregnent. 9 months later they gave birth to the '72 Dolphins.
