Him and a bunch of dudes on bikes, and a bunch of cars with bikes on top, and a bunch of bike leading cop cars, and a bunch of bike following cop cars and ambulances, and a bunch of motorbikes just went past my neighborhood.

Pretty neato.

Doping or no doping, he is The Man.
Seriously inspirational.

Yeah, it started today in Fayetteville, went through PTC and then up Senoia Road through Tyrone (which is where I live) and is heading up to Rome by the end of the day.

No needles were visible.

That's cool, Chris. It's pretty nice to be able to step out in your own front yard and see this. Maybe I'll see some familiar sights when they broadcast it on OLN in a couple of weeks.

No, its Bill Tush. Did you have TBS back in the day?

Funny, that every luminary connected with Atlanta in the late 70's had that same open mustache: Lewis Grizzard, Burt Reynolds, Bill Tush, Ted Turner, my Uncle Bill etc.

the bikes were such a small part of this thing Timmy; timewise the whole field took about 3-4 seconds to pass; the ancilliary b.s. was like ten minutes.

No chance, I actually happened to be pulling up right when it came by, so I actually watched it from the intersection right there by the RR crossing, like 3 cars back.

People where whooping though and VIDEOTAPING the whole experience.

It was cool and all, but really, only slightly better than watching the Olympic Torch come down Lumpkin Street (a sham to get my hungover ass out of bed if ever there was one).

It had nothing on the Twilight Criterion, put it that way.

DUDE!!! My two WTBS obsessions from 1980-81 were Gordon Solie and Bill Tush! The show Tush was absolutely HILARIOUS! Plus, it launched the career of the funniest female SNL cast member ever, Jan Hooks.

Yeah, see WTBS was an actual UHF channel for us.....Channel 17 as it were. Bill Tush is god. Gordon Solie was The Punisher.........Tonie Schiaovane? Guilty of hate crimes. David Crockett? Sentenced to life in a plastic prison....

"Its pandemonium in Tulsa"...Jim Ross somehow slipped the noose....................


Bam Bam Gordy and Buddy Roberts? RIP. Gods.
