Weren’t they pro wrestlers?
i wash myself with a rag on a stick
They were in the guinness book of world records as the world’s fattest twins.
The years where motorcycle and tire manufacturers learned to ‘Build Them Stonger’
this picture defies laws of gravity
Those poor little motorcycles
in the 70s these cats were everywhere – like lee majors and farrah fawcett
Now, this is an everyday thing at any Walmart!
weren’t these guys in michael jackson’s moonwalker movie
How did they get on the bikes?
You too can have a pretty dope time if you only plan to live until 30.
This photo was in my ~1978/1979 Guinness book of world records that I got at a Scholastic book drive in my elementary school. I thumbed through that book a ton and distinctly remember this photo in it. They were the world record holder for heaviest twins.
Now I get the Simpsons reference.
This photo instantly reminded me of Speed Demon, from Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker movie.
Double body shaming
> Billy McCrary died on July 14, 1979, at the age of 32, following a motorcycle accident in Niagara Falls en route to a Ripley’s Believe It or Not! museum.
Well that’s a bit of a surprise.
Seems they inspired the idea for the motorcycle twins in Michael Jackson’s Speed Demon
Always close, the brothers are buried side by side in a graveyard near Hendersonville. Their grave is marked by a 13-foot wide granite headstone, which is believed to be the largest in the world.[4] “The twins are buried at Crab Creek Baptist Church Cemetery near Hendersonville. According to Roadside America, their gravestone is inscribed with two Honda motorbikes and the words ‘World’s Largest Twins.
Got a pig in the ground, got some beer on ice, and the world’s fattest twins are comin over tonight…!
One died from a motorcycle accident at 32. The other died of heart failure at 54. Don’t be fat, and don’t ride bikes people.
Man this is just depressing
Hank Williams “Notso” Jr.
Imagine how fat they could get on current “food”!!!
Guinness Book of World Records for longest aggregate time without being able to see your own dick
Is this genetics or did they both eat equally as bad?
I remember seeing this photo in the Guinness Book of World Records. I remember this and that food record guy named Peter Dowdeswell (SP?) who set a shit ton of eating records. I can’t tell you what I had for lunch on Wednesday but I remember random stuff from hanging out in the school library from 7th grade lmao in 1990.
I’ve had dreams of these guys. I’ve never understood why or where they came into my brain from?
I remember seeing them in the Guinness book and I think hot rod magazine when I was a kid.
I wish I could make a living g out of being far and riding dirt bikes. Curse myself for not being a twin!
Once viewed as an anomoly, but now too many Americans look like this.
Michael Jackson Bad VHS movie. Who saw these guys in there? Long time ago
This was in Guinness book of world record when I was a kid
Reporter: “So fellers, did this act ever get you guys some action?”
Twins: “If by action you mean diabetes, yes. If you mean womenfolk, I’m afraid neither myself nor my brothers here have seen hide nor hair of our dangly bits in nigh on 25 years.”
What kind of car are these?
Is this what that part of the world known as ‘the south’ is like?
So what was their real surname?
I feel like this photo has been in my life longer than most of my memories from the 70-80’s. Is it possible I took this pic in a past life?
I presume eating was another essential part of their lives
Must’ve had a lot of flat tires.
My dad actually grew up with the McGuire twins in Hendersonville, NC. He used to tell me stories of them riding all around town with their motorcycles screaming haha.
