sorry eveyone but this i am sure is in the wrong place cause its not tech nor is it a question about somthing. or is it to post pictures of anything cool. what it is is an ass kissing to ryan and everyone else out there. first, ryan thanks for a really cool place for me to gain knowledge and expand my talents. thanks for a place to meet really cool people, that i found out first hand are willing to fix a broken down car on the side of the highway just so i could make it to the show. thanks for all the moderators on here for keeping the subject close at hand and keeping the pedifiles out. this is a really great idea behind this message board and i just wanted to take my time, and your time to express this. i did not do this to see everyone jump on the ass kissing bandwagon but it would be great to see others thank the ones who put this together for us to waste time either while gaining motivation or finding a happy place to retreat to after slamming a finger in a door. now that being said i got a truck to work on. thanks to all the fellow hambers
I like Ryan too! He's my Hero! Has anyone esle seen the loose tooth in the HANB crash T-shirt? Too Cool!
Why stop there! Tell em' that you like the color of his eyes or how he looks cool while driving his 38 Ford. Or how he combs his hair the "Oh so perfect" way! Hey I like this place just as much as the next HAMBer, but......Hey, maybe this may get you on Ryan's "A" list. I think he would also probably like it if you baked him some cookies. Ken
Very nice of ya to say, but trust me... I don't deserve the credit I get... I got good pals that put up with my flighty personality and ways in an effort to do their "jobs" that they VOLUNTEER their time for. I also have about 15,000 people on my side that I don't know at all, but that spend the time to post and make this place what it is... Fact of the day: www.jalopyjournal.com has been the most highly visited hot rod site in the world for over 5 years now. That means we get more traffic that ANY hot rod site on the planet - not just traditional ones... Last month, we had 5.6 million pageviews by over 350,000 unique visitors... We easily get 4 to 5 times more traffic than any of the sites ran by the big dogs - primedea. Can you believe that shit? Lot's of other folks can't... The fact that we are able to keep this place orderly, on topic and "small feeling" is a tribute to the moderators and the posters themselves...
i see a few of you guys took my message wrong as i figured you would. i am not saying this to get anything or to be on the "a" list. i was only a line cook not a pastry chef. baking is like oil and water with me. i don't care about any of that. i am just showing my gratitude, just as i would in any situation that would benifit myself in succeeding. i am sure everybody here is greatful for what has been given to them(i.e. jalopy journal and the hamb). i only wanted to take the time to say thanks. no one forced you to read it. if you recall the headline says "ryan", not "dumb ass closed minded asshole", but thanks for letting me know who you are. never know who you run into on a road trip.
Don't sweat it man, you're right on. Sometimes the "i'm a superior bad-ass when I'm at my computer" people astound me.
It's like this. You post on here and you're fair game. a) you could of sent him a PM and an e-mail. b) You decided to tell all of HAMB how you feel about this place. It's like in High School when you tell your buddies "i'm in love" of course they're gonna bust your chops. Same here. Ken
We are just busting balls. We understand what your saying. Cant get too defensive over our stupid comments, otherwise we know who not to screw around with. Great road trip so far.
Fellas, don't prove me wrong on the same thread. I think those fellas were just busting chops. Nothing serious at all... And if they weren't, don't sweat it... they go as quickly as they come. It's all good.
So what's stopping us? We could start a HAMBville, which, to remain exclusinve would have to be a "gated community" with community rules and regulations ro keep the riff raff(normal people) out.
Yea... the atmosphere would be that of the HAMB Drags parking lot... a hellova place to raise a family! Sam.
We'd have to build our own oil refinery first, then a dragstrip, then garages THEN we could get started on the houses. We can call it... HAMBsterdamn Where'd you get a ticket for NOT having inoperable vehicles in your yard.
Make me the first Hamb cop,i'll be stroking tickets left and right.every house should have an ocean of junk cars or should i say'projects' yeah thats it thier PROJECTS by yolly!!
Wow... HAMBtopia. Who woulda thunk? This thread is spiraling way outta control...but I like it. Let me know where the emigration gates are for this HAMBworld we're creating.
We could even bring backs HAMB s beer, from the land of the sky blue water, and the way cool HAMB s bear.
