    According to my wife-yes. Personally, I don't think so but here I am, 2:00 in the afternoon on a work day and I take time out to check my PM's and respond to a thread.

    It's not an addiction, it's an education.

    JeepersCreepers:My name is Kevin and I'm HAMB addict
    HAMB:Hi, Kevin.
    JC:I started using about six months ago. It started on my Myspace, a gateway drug if there ever was one. I requested some info from a car club out of DFW. They refered me here, where I envitably got hooked up with local users. Sure we'd hang out and talk about other stuff, but eventually, the conversation would land back on the HAMB-when was the last time we checked it, who was on, what was posted, when were we going to get back on and post pictures of us hanging out, talking about the HAMB. I know I'm sick, but I got it under control for now...I think.:(
     
  4. Remember that one dude that got FIRED fo surfing the HAMB too much at work? That was sad.

    The American economy has collapsed. Experts claim that it stems from an addiction workers have surfing the net and a site calle the HAMB. A 90% reduction in time spent on actual work has caused the problem. A senior fellow at the American Institute for Economics studys regards the situation as, "Critical! We must put a stop to this. The HAMB must not be allowed to interfere with people and their jobs."

    Apparently Jim's just seen the new Star Wars movie and felt the need to channel Yoda.... :D

    Although I don't post much (lack of any projects cuts down my useful input), I read the HAMB like a fiend. I've learned more in the two years I've been following things here than I could have ever imagined. Hopefully, when circumstances finally allow for a project, I'll be able to put all of this to good use.

    I'm not sure it's an obsession (yet) but I sure like it alot!
    (I check about 4 times a day suring the week)
    It's the only way I'd hear opinions from all over the world..I've gotten to chat with people that had way more knowledge, and understanding of "our style" than anybody that lives near me.
    Thanks guys for all I've learned, and especialy Ryan for bringing it together!
    I look forward to lots more info..and ocasional BS.;)

    I never had a problem while I lurked but now can't stay away, I'm blaming Ryan. "So I do traditional Rods and Kustoms a bit, I can handle it".

    hahahaha

    it's just for recreation man, it's no big deal, and I can quit anytime
     
  14. Not an obsession as much as an addiction...

    Is that a bad thing...?

    If I could, I'd pack the HAMB in a bowl and smoke it...
    I'd distill it down to 180 proof and slam a jar of it...
    I'd hide it in the toilet tank or in my toolbox and sneak it when nobody was lookin'...
    I'd truck it in from Canada and Mexico and have the FEDS in a tizzy...
    I'd have the HAMB sniffin' dogs bitin' the crotch out of my HAMB underwear...

    Now... would someone tell me, please...
    What the fuck was I doing when I sat down, here...????
