Bob Birdsong's Current Occupation.
« on: May 28, 2017, 08:52:50 AM »
Someone posted on here he works from 6am to 6pm holding up a sign on a highway overpass, out in the hot sun, with a 1-gl (3.85 litre) jug of iced tea.  It may even be one of those 5% jugs, that Rich Piana would use to fill up with his foul concoction.  ONE DAY HE MAY.

The post was something to that effect.

Discuss this.

PS - at the 1984 Mr. Olympia, they booed all the competitors who placed 7th through to 10th.  Did they expect everyone to place higher than they did?  LOL.  How would that even make sense?  Bob Birdsong fairly placed 10th at that contest.  At 5'8, he was what, 200-lb at that contest?  Jacked to be sure, but not big enough to win a state show today.  A good everyday fitness look though.

Isn't he able to live comfortably on the Ric Drasin movie residual checks?

No he used to be the sign guy. Wasnt 6am-6pm either. More like 9am - 6pm.. Might've been 8am i forget.

Now hes worked at Clarks Nutrition for at least the past 5 maybe 7 years. Has lunch everyday with a big fat white lady at mcd's. Never see much talking between the two so cant really tell if theyre a couple.

LOL!!!

I love the time frame!  ;D

Poor guy's $1,000 check at the 1984 Mr. Olympia wasn't enough to live off?  ???

If Bob placed 10th in 1984, it makes me wonder how Jeff King would have placed.  Top six for sure.

Sad.  I think this is an arbitrage opportunity for someone who wants to find him and pay him to do a truthful in depth story of his entire bodybuilding career.  I'm sure it would be interesting if he could remember all of the various things he witnessed.  I think he was born again at some point.  Still, I think there is some good info there that needs to be archived for future historians of bodybuilding and also probably some good stories of fucked up shit.  Probably for $300 you could get a huge amount of info.

For $300?  Never mind just a bit of 'info' - for that amount of money (having seen the Drasin video) he'd probably throw in another gang bang movie featuring an ass-to-mouth daisy chain with a bukkake finish...  :-X

Ask MATT C if he will pay Bob Birdsong $100x3 for YouTube videos, similar to the interviews by Natural O - Jon.

Not sure if he'd remember much of it be a decent interview. His mind isn't all there. Why do you tho k he was the sign guy? Dude who replaced him was a black guy who looked like a california-rasin, carried a gallon jug of 115°sunlight-heated Arizona tea, smelled like urine, had occasional screaming fits in the parking lot, & drove a white 1987 Cadillac limo to work. Once in a while his sister would call the gym looking for him cuz he'd go sell/get lost. Think he got disability and moved I to an assisted living place after new owner came in an fired him to save money. Dude generated a lot of business.... Guy who replaced him was a Mexican punk fresh outta prison with neck and face tattoos. Had to fire him myself after he came in to workout after his shift one night smelling like whiskey and being belligerent and following our front desk girl into a back room and freaked her out (think the "Diner scene" in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas where they order the key lime pie). That dude ended up getting unemployment because he claimed the new owner of the gym this was the third owner my buddy and the rest of the gym staff were well aware of his inability to stay away from alcohol or some shit.... Nobody knew he was an alcoholic. Anyways. Had to wake up early on my morning off for court that day to give my version of events that night. So the Sign Guy position and a gym is usually not a position filmed by fellas who are all there
