Welcome to the bodypart roundtable for a discussion on Plant High School TE, Orson Charles. Head, you start us off.
Mackie's Head:
Orson Charles will be in Southern California getting more play than a stripper at a Duke Lacrosse party. Between the weather, the beaches, the loose hedonistic women, and the coolest headcoach on Twitter, Charles will be (and wear) a Trojan. Pete Carroll pillaged a #7 jersey and scribbled Charles on the back of it with a Sharpie. The kids going to USC, get over it Heart you still got a great '09 class.
Mackie's Heart:
I beg to differ, Head. If you haven't noticed all the reports from the AJC the kids a good Christian and is praying over his decision with his family. With a classy head coach like Mark Richt who is value-oriented the two personalities line up and everyone who purchased a Matthew Stafford jersey will be able to wear it a few more years as UGA welcomes a new Tight End. Also, 2006 called they want their reference to Duke Lacrosse back.
Mackie's Head:
Charles is playing you for a fool. He told the LA News he was praying to David Lee Roth's hot-pink headband over the decision. I'm sure he spoke with the Knoxville paper regarding his college choice and made them aware he was praying to a tube of Fixodent. He's playing the locals by making them think he's their kind of guy and praying to what's important to them.
Mackie's Heart:
Well, that may be true because I haven't verified. But I think he's a good kid and Athens, GA would be a great fit for him. Not to mention his highschool QB whom he is good friends would still be his QB as a Dawg.
Mackie's Head:
...you're naive.
Mackie's Heart:
Well, you're excessively critical, skeptical, and lack faith...just like the entire state of California.
Mackie's Rectum*:
I think Knoxville would be a gre...
Heart & Head:
Shut-up Rectum, he's not going to Knoxville.
Mackie's Rectum:
Why not? Knoxville's a great place(...ppppprrrrrrrrrrrrtt) it's got a great marble quarry, excellent women's basketball, that awesome looking gold ball building from the 1982 World's Fair, (...pppprrrrrrrrrrrrrrrtttt) what's not to love!?!
Mackie's Head:
Ugh, Rectum that f#$%'in stinks man!
Mackie's Heart:
I'm glad I'm not near a nose.
AND SCENE!
See poll to the top right.
*damn near killed 'em!

D-Day for Orson
By the time you make your afternoon commute back home, we'll know if Orson Charles will be our future Tight End (not me, I'm hangin' a bird at The Man and Crip walkin' out the door at 1:00pm).
Thanks Pimpmywalk.com!!!
Regardless of where he commits, I wish nothing but the best for Orson as long as he goes to UGA...
Also, where the normal human mind might associate the name "Orson" with such famous people as Orson Wells, where I differ is I never got past associating him with Orson the Pig from U.S.Acres...go figure.
Happy Friday, suckers.

UGA Basketball
...WHHHAAAAAAAAAA!?!?!??????
Of course, I don't keep up with UGA basketball until the bandwagon begins to fill. This surprised me because I remember back when there were concerns of UGA basketball losing every single conference game this season. So far we've managed to squeeze a few wins out, a couple of which were against usual conference powerhouses (Florida, Kentucky).
I remember working on a project in Lexington, Kentucky when there were signs in the windows of local businesses to "Fire Tubby". I wonder how Minnesota is doing this season?

Tech Spelling Errors
Normally I don't try to rub mistakes in anyone's face, but the fact Georgia Tech students do nothing but brag about how S-M-R-T they are...I feel this is a little bit justified.
I can't access the actual page because when I click on it a window pops up that says:
"You Do Not Have Permission To View The Requested File"
(I think this is due to me being at work)
But The Regular Guys from Rock 100.5, a local Atlanta morningshow, have a link on their website to a page from Georgia Tech's College Newspaper which is absolutely wrought with errors. Someone took the time to edit the page with a red pen and the link is posted on their website under "FROM THE EMAIL BUCKET".
Here is the link to their website:
www.regularguys.com
You have to scroll halfway down the page to find the link, but if you're able to view it let me know (because I don't know why I'd be restricted).
Sir, our spellcheck security stronghold has been breached.

Your Next Big Thing
Lets get this all out on the table right now. Football is gone and I'm struggling to fill the void. Usually in this lull I turn to hockey, but the Thrashers' season is borderline unwatchable it's so bad. If nothing else I take comfort in Braves baseball being right around the corner. Having to put up with our players going to that ridiculous World Baseball Classic is lame and I'd rather the best baseball team in the world be determined at the Olympics...at least then we'd get a decent drug test out of our players.
Until the 30-something days until the MLB season opener, I have allowed my time to be occupied with my new favorite competitive sport...
Competitive Collegiate A Cappella Singing
Much like UGA football, I prefer the college game because the players show more heart and aren't just in it for the money like in professional competitive a cappella singing.
MEET YOUR UGA ACCIDENTALS!!!!
/lasers
/confetti
/Technotronic music
Not since Andy Bernard's involvement in Cornell's own Here Comes Treble has competitive a cappella been this exciting!
Check out our guy's video cover of the classic Phil Collins hit, Another Day in Paradise
Their website needs a little updating because at the moment we are awaiting the results of the February 7th ICCA Quarterfinals which were hosted at the Morton Theatre in Athens. If any of you guys know the outcome, please post in comments.
UPDATE:
The Varsity Vocals ICCA website posted that our UGA Accidentals defeated a lesser UGA squad (UGA Noteworthy, which are like the Mets of competitive A Cappella) by a score of 410 to 335 points! Also, placing third was the Rice University Philharmonics who only managed 326 points (yet due to a scorecard error still advanced to the Semifinal round...I kid you not).
The Semifinals will be hosted by UNC-Greensboro on March 14th. Our very own Accidentals will be taking on competition from cupcakes like Another Level from Appalachian State to top tier talent like FSU's own AcaBelles who completely DEMOLISHED the University of Florida's Sedoctaves at the UF hosted Quarterfinal 3 last February 28th!
So wet your whistle and don your classiest ascot, it's time for some SERIOUS March Madness competition!

Your Money & Your Bowels...but no football.
Mrs. Mackalicious and I have been conducting a little experiment this past month.
We took up the challenge of the leopard-print clad financial sex-cougaress herself, Ms. Suze Orman, and attempted not to eat out for an entire month. Luckily for us February is like the shortest month EVER!
"Ms. Orman are you trying to seduce me? ...No? ...Well, should I purchase this new Lexus now that I've got a mortgage and making $35,000/year with nothing in savings???"
So essentially the wife and I haven't spent a dime at any food serving establishment. You always hear people say "If you want to save money don't eat out so much and pack your lunch!" Take it from me, this is true.
Question.
What would you do with an extra $200 each month? I know it's a toughie, right? By eliminating two $30 meals each week ($60 total/week) and instead adding roughly $10-$15 extra to your grocery bill each week to cover adding one more big meal and leftovers...you, yourself could easily add an extra $200 to your income.
These figures were based off the Mackalicious household who is generally pretty good about eating a homecooked dinner most nights of the week, yet occasionally goes out for La Parilla or sushi if it's been a particularly craptacular day at work and we don't wanna cook.
Was it tough for an entire month? You bet. We both went through weak moments the first half of the month but once we got in the swing of things it was actually quite refreshing to sit down with each other over a fail-proof dinner. Unless you are my sister, you probably cook better than restaurants do anyway (...she found a way to smoke out her apartment by burning a loaf of store-bought bread in the oven...still wrapped in the bag of plastic).
Anyway, I was able to break my fast food-fast today at lunch by taking a trip to one of my favorite establishments...McDonalds.
If you have ever gone a long time without eating fast food, and out of nowhere you are compelled to down a Big Mac and large order of fries, then you feel my pain.
The term "massive dirrhetic blowout" really fails to embody the demon I've been exercising since 3pm...but that's all beside the point.
During this down economic cycle I highly recommend this exercise. Fortunately for me we were able to attempt this not out of necessity, but simply for the helluvit. But I am now able to rest assured knowing if for some reason I ever needed to tighten the belt on the family budget, the wife and I are more than capable.
My only suggestion would be to break your cycle with a trip to Doc Greens or somewhere...light. Otherwise you'll feel like you've got a huge purple Grimace shaped turd blocking your digestive tract.

Herschel on Celebrity Apprentice: or what Mackie calls news during off season
I'm not a terribly huge fan of Donald Trump, I think he is a relatively decent businessman who made a couple of stellar real estate decisions. Then he made a bunch of really really BAD investments, one of which included a girlfriend when he was already married (I subscribe to the Frank Barone philosophy of "If you're having problems with your woman, don't go out and get another one because then all you've got are two problems"). Anyway, he made a couple more good financial calls and ended up back on top and landed a television show.
But the only reason I'm relatively interested in Celebrity Apprentice is because #34 is on this season. In case you missed it, here's a summary!
Herchel is elected by Brian Boytano or Scott Hamilton (whoever the gay little ice skating guy was) to be the PM of the men's team. They gave themselves a horrible team name, KOTU which is an acronym for "Kan't Otherwise Think Upaname"...don't quote me on that.
Anyway a while back the Georgia Sports Blog sent a PSA out to any Dawgs in or around New York City to go buy a cupcake from Herschel Walker. That happened to be the first challenge for both the male and female teams of Celebrity Apprentice.
Long story short, the male celebrities lost to the female celebrities who's Project Manager was either Joan Rivers or a siamese cat riding in a car with its head out the window. The good news is, Herschel didn't get fired even though he was in charge of the men's team. The bad news is, now I'm probably going to have to watch Celebrity Apprentice again.
Apparently The Donald thought Andrew Dice Clay was enough of a D-Bag to fire instead so he did. That being said, the Dice Man took his firing relatively well. In his cab ride away from Trump Towers ADC parted ways with this inspirational piece of philosophy...
"Hickory, dickory, dock. The mouse ran up 'da clock...so I f*@%ed Trump's mutha. OOOoOOOOOOO!!!1"
...if nobody got that joke, it just goes to show how irrelevant Andrew Dice Clay is by today's standards.
The highlight of the show for me was seeing a Georgia fan on television holding his freshly autographed UGA helmet in the middle of downtown New York beaming with joy. There is something to cherish about SEC football fanaticism and I'm glad we were represented well by a rebel transplant (opposite of yankee transplant?).
My other opinions of the show:
-Melissa Rivers is every bit as ugly as her mother.
-Tom Green should always have a beard.
-There is a reason nobody knows who Khloe Kardashian is.
-A little part of me was scared Clint Black would suggest one of his black teammates be fired.
-Scott Hamilton must have lost his testicles in a tragic ice skating accident.
-My wife and I mistook Playboy Playmate, Brande Roderick for Gene Simmon's wife (Shannon Tweed).
-I'm glad the majority of high definition television came after Dennis Rodman stopped playing basketball.
-Professional poker players come across as very sleazy people to me.
-I can't tell you a single song Brian McKnight sings.
-I don't consider the women who hold briefcases on Deal or No Deal to be "celebrities".
-Donald Trump mistakenly referred to Herschel Walker the greatest college running back of all time, what he meant to say was he is the greatest college football player of all time.
As a footnote to this story, I'm sure all of us got a little bit of snow yesterday. I found the most entertaining aspect of this inclimate weather to be watching Channel 2 Action News and seeing the pictures people sent in showing off the snow in their yard, much in the same manner shortbus kids show off their macaroni artwork to the school janitor.
...here is the one I sent in.
...his name is Pepper, and he is cold.
