I'm not too crazy about spreading the Gospel according to Ryan. The request is just another response from the masses who have again thought that traditional and the new word <font color="blue">(Retro)</font> are the next bandwagon to get on. These Love Train Groupies can just stand out and watch the real thing. If these people are truely interested.... We will see their intro with a real interest in spreading the news

Dunno, I have visions of flat black Hondas & Neons with WWW's on steelies and HAMB stickers. No hood showing off their stuffed in V-8's cruising all over the country! What's wrong with that? Beats seeing all those Calvin pissing and Stereo stickers. Or 1/2 the pickups in the country running WCC decals. Give the kids an alternative to Jessie and the Japanese. (Sounds like a group!) Be pretty hard doing a garage scene tho. You'd have to cover up the trash can full of empties and a lot of the posters and wall art. Just wouldn't look right. And of course, you couldn't actually let the HAMBer speak. You'd have to BLEEP the BLEEPing BLEEPer every time he BLEEPing opened his BLEEPing mouth. It would come off like OCC and that wouldn't be right. Hell, tell 'em to show up at the "Bend in the road" & we'll talk. Have 'em bring a couple cases of beer and something magnesium we can signal the space station with. We'll sing Cum-By-Ya with 'em.
Gosh it would be cool if all those Von Dutch Wearing celebs would join the hamb we could talk about high fashion!! No need for for them here!!!
[ QUOTE ] "I appreciate the offer and think the show is going great places, but to be honest with you I don't think the HAMB or my personal daily activities would be good content for a family oriented network. We don't build theme cars and we don't participate in highly commercial events or promotions. Put shortly and please excuse me for my language, but we are fucking hoodlums - not clean room marketers. I've enclosed the last available copy of our 2004 calendar in hopes that you see this note as an honored declination and not an aggressive retort." [/ QUOTE ] Great response.
Someone at TLC got a free calendar?!?! Talk about lucky!! I think it's interesting that this thread serves a dual purpose. 1. Ryan was able to tell us that he turned down TLC 2. TLC will be looking at this board anyway to see who they can get, but will see this posting and that we are not interested in becoming another Von OCC Choppers trucker hat logo for 15 year olds to wear to the mall.
Shit!!!! I had visions of Rocky hollerin' at you and sayin'"you don't have a clue what it takes to build a car!" Someone could make a fortune making adapters to put the new fad 35 wires on Escalades! Oh well
allthough it would be nice to maybe turn some kids our direction, it's hard enough to get the right parts we need now. if the gold chainers start thinking this is cool, then parts would be impossible to get. after it aired this place would turn into another yahoo chat board.
ill go to TLC ... itll score me beverly hills GOTHABILLY chicks! TLC, YOU LISTENING??? I CAN MAKE A PHAT OG RIDE OUT FUCKIN TIN CANS & RUBBER BANDS!
[ QUOTE ] Give the kids an alternative to Jessie and the Japanese. [/ QUOTE ] I agree, but do we really want to be the alternative? Little shits can be kinda' un-ruley at times.....................but then again so are we.
ok...maybe we have it all wrong....maybe TLC wanted to do a show about a group of people from all over the world who night after night sit infront of a glowing screen after putting in hard days at the office, shop, garage, and working on their cars, only to sit for hours offering help, opinions, guidance, jokes, and e-bay finds. maybe they wanted an episode about the passion that the hamb embodies, not just cars and swearing. YEAH RIGHT!!! although it would be funny as hell to see some hambers causing a ruckus on national tv, the world is not ready for the likes of the hamb. VIVA LA HAMB!!!!!!
At least we still have our dignity... ...unlike Orange County Choppers. You made the right call, Ryan. Thank you.
i just came up with the next hamb item...could even come as a free gift with the next years calendar purchase... the "HAMB, too hot for TV" video!!! the things that ryan wouldn't let TLC show you...see the gay michigan bitches modeling hrlc's fur coats....see the rambler showdown at the hamb drags, see naked california men on motorcycles, and all the other mischief that ensues!!! only $19.95
I concur...... Although, it would be nice to see Germ get his own reality show.........pure entertainment....
I am proud to be a "Fucking Hoodlum", but this is the first time I have ever been called that with Respect. Glad you said no thanks. check out my new signature TZ
Right on Ryan! You didnt sell your soul for the almighty dollar.Those T.V. movie types could screw up anything.I could hear Hank singing now--ARE YOU READY FOR SOME HOT RODS--ALL MY ROUDY FRIENDS ARE POSTING DOWN TONIGHT!
Damm it Ryan I have been told I have a face for radio and now you blew it for me . Germ and reality? Let me think..........No.....Danny
Way to go Ryan, hell its not like the would have flown us south Seas types up to the US for it or anything...... is it ??? I wish T.V. would can all the reality crap and go back to making good escapism, damn they want reality try spending 10 hours a day here About the only worth while making stuff show is the Pommy scrapheap challenge at least the y build something outa nothing not like some shows where we turn a perfectly o.k. whatever into a usless horrible looking POS !!
[ QUOTE ] kooks, the HAMB cook book is for cooks... [/ QUOTE ] WTF??? El Caballo you got me rollin on that one. What's next Food TV wanting to film the the cooking at the drags? Hell the Drama Queen Bullshit would go up tenfold if the HAMB got on tv.
