    I was lying in bed last night and got to thinking what is the proper way to say the name of out group! Do we try to pronounce the B at the end, or just say HAM.
    When we refer to a member is he/she a “ Hammer” or a ” HamBer” ?

    Gotta put the B on the end, or people won't realize that you're talking about something they have no idea what it is.

    Personally I say 'on the HAM' or 'he's a HAM'er'.

    Saying it with the B makes it even more ridiculous. HAM-BUH, oh he's a HAM-BuR.

    When people ask about my avatar I tell them it's a HAMBster. I emphasise the 'B' otherwise they think it's a furry rodent.

  24. Just like saying Ham and Cheese. No idea how anyone could think otherwise. Unless you were referring to the Hawaiian****ociation of Mortgage Brokers.

    Also, I don't speak the word "HAMB" out loud in public.
    To me, it's like a secret organization, not for the uninitiated, similar to The Knights Templer.

    When you say "comb" or "bomb" do you add the "buh" sound to the end of it? ;)

  30. Anyone I talk to about the H.A.M.B. already know what I'm talking about, and it's pronounced with a silent B. :)

    If by chance I'm talking to someone that may not know what I'm talking about, there won't be any doubt that I'm talking about the HOKEY**** MESSAGE BOARD !!
