ATTEMPT TO IGNORE THE MAGIC MAN.

by Orson on May 1, 2007 9:45 AM EDT

We'll have some actual content up in a moment. Please, for the moment, accept the wonder that is Alabama's Magic Man, rocking out here to Laid Back's classic "White Horse." He points! He smiles! He displays the best crotch grab we've seen in Tuscaloosa since Mike Dubose's!

The yellow caution tape? That's to keep his sexiness from stunning you cold.

Magic Man loves the shrooms. Can you tell?

Why is his suit yellow? With that much dedication to his “craft” I would expect it to be red.

That’s nothing. The accomplishments of Magic go far, far beyond that.

I heard several people were turned into toads just for walking through his space. Don’t mess with Magic!

White Horse – Yellow Suit Dept?

Have not heard that song in years, amazing….

When that OG goes into his local Sears looking for a suit, and the salesman asks what he is looking for, does the say: “Show me somethang in yellow, ’cause I already have one in hot pink.”

While we’re at it, here is another display Alabama dancing (and rapping) skills:

Similiar kinda guy, Orson, and anyone else in Atlanta, have you ever seen Baton Bob in Midtown? If not you are missing out.

California Weirdos RULE!

You guys out East or South may have some doozies, but in LA, on any given day, our weirdos trump yours! Here is Mr. Venice Beach, Jimi Hendrix playing guitar, turban wearing urban commando:

Brian—

Baton Bob is a Midtown fixture. What viewers have to appreciate is that Bob dresses and acts like that 24/7. In fact, he may have just decided to appear in the Pride parade, and not been a part of the plan at all.

I have been lucky enough to witness The Magic Man eat fire one night at The Booth. Then he produced a lit cigarette from his mouth for a nice white woman, truely the best days of my life.

Is that the lovely, quaint section of Tuscaloosa, the one that so enhances the game day experience? You know, buying pirated DVDs and funnel cakes from carnie barkers….sigh….college game day at UAT. It’s awesome.

completely unrelated, but this should appeal to the edsbs audience

I don’t know what’s weirder, SKLM, your guy on the guitar or the crowd around him without a boat drink in sight. Beach walk and no drinks… damn weird if you ask me.

That is very true about Baton Bob. There is a chance he was unaware of any parade at all. Good solid local celebrity.

Tricks are what hookers do for money…or cocaine!

SKLM-I know that guy’s been in a movie I’ve seen. It could be something obscure like The Gift with Jane’s Addiction or something. Dammit!! Now I’ve got to rack my brain all day.

In SF, one weirdo makes a “living” pretending to be a growling bush down at Fisherman’s Wharf.

That’s good times on that Bushman character.

: I first saw the turban guy in the parking lot before concerts at Irvine Meadows ampitheater back in the late 80’s or early 90’s. I quick google shows that he’s actually been doing his thing since 1973! And he has been in several movies.

I love hearing UF guys talking about how backwards the people in T-town are.
How is it that some of the most famous serial killers of all time just happen to show up in Gainesville.
We may be backward but our loonies have better things to do than go on killing spreas. Like working on their dance moves.
