Went up to the airline ticket counter wearing my new HAMB shirt and an older lady asked, with a rather concerned look on her face "what is a Honey *** M***age Board?"

i saw a couple of HAMB stickers and plaques at paso a few years back....i thought it was some kinda secretive hot rod club that had steep standards. then they let me join. not quite exclusive but damn glad to be here.
Now THAT'S^^ funny right there, I don't care who you are..... .....she probably thought you were some kind of dirty ****ographer. Marty McFly
Just getting my t-shirt in the mail yesterday, I quickly unwrapped it, and held it up for my lady to see, pride and excitement in my eyes. I got the look that we've all seen before, like when you show them your great new swap meet purchases, and she says... "The 'Hokey *** Message Board'????" Was pretty funny. Great hammer story. Pete
Me and a buddy of mine were checkin' out the cars in the host hotel parking lot in Joplin after the HAMB drags last year. A newer Chevy Suburban rolls up slowly beside us and soccer mom & her hubby asks us if there was a car show in town. I told her about the drag races and then she asks me, "What does HAMB mean?" After a quick explanation she smiles & gives me an "okay...". They were impressed that an internet message board would bring so many cool cars and people together from all over. Behold the power of HAMB!
On a recent trip to San Francisco i was wondering through some shop in haight ashbury,wearing my HAMB shirt,when this guy came up to me and ask are the new shirts out,he was a HAMBER from indiana,we spoke and connected on the hamb ....HAMBERS are everywhere...in a way its like a secret society.You go out with a HAMB shirt on and people approach you and talk to you,your friends or girlfriend asks you "who the hell was that"...i just tell them a "friend from the HAMB,you wouldnt understand"...they dont.
OK so just before Easter I was standing in our Kitchen and my Wife says " Hey please write a few things on the War Board" (our war board is just one of them dry erase boards) for reminders. So Im writing this and that for Her. Later that day I came home and my Wife and Daughter are sitting in the kitchen and turn to me and start laughing... My wife says "you been spending to much time on the Computer I think.." Im Like what My Daughter says.." Hey how about some nice Easter Ham ba??" Im Like what Then they say to look at the war board........Its says "pick up HAMB" might be lame but thats what happened..
Yeah iIm the dee jay, When i told them what HAMB ment they had the deer in the headlights look. Of course they were driving new 09 cars. What a hoot. Good times Two Tall Okie.
HAMBers and hammers. that's funny. when speaking with civillians I call it the Jalopy Journal. most people have an idea of what a Jalopy is. it is much less confusing to them.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=The H.A.M.B. 1.The H.A.M.B. The "Hokey *** Message Board". An online community devoted to the discussion, appreciation and upkeep of traditional hot rod and custom cars. I saw a photo of a tastefully done Model A roadster on duce rails over on the H.A.M.B. 2.The H.A.M.B. Hokey *** Message Board. Emphasis on Hokey. Hot Rod Enthusiast forum for wanna-be non-conformists. Yet, acceptance of the group is based on tribal ritualistic criticism of concepts that may be outside the 'norm'. Yeah, it's a car like you see on The H.A.M.B., Flat black primer and red wheels driven by an Elvis Costello look-a-like with a pack of cigarettes rolled up the skinny armed sleeve of his T-shirt. He's into the 'Stray Cats', like the retro-greasers over at The H.A.M.B.
