http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/hokey you're from Texas and didnt know what Hokey ment? You must not be from around there, I've been using that term since I was a little kid...
hok·ey ([FONT=verdana, sans-serif] P [/FONT]) Pronunciation Key (hk) adj. Slang hok·i·er, hok·i·est Mawkishly sentimental; corny. Noticeably contrived; artificial
I know what hokey means, I guess what I'm asking is, "where did the name of this board come from?" Did this start out as a tounge-in-cheek deal that just grew? I would consider it the best and most informative website of it's kind I've ever seen. The talent and knowledge of many of the members is incredible.
I think it comes from Ryan's love of Soap Operas... Back in the day it was started to discuss the latest offerings from General Hospital, As the World Turns and Bitches and Snitches. It later grew into a discussion about automobiles thanks largely to the Pimp sleds in Bitches and Snitches. Later it developed into discussion of Traditional Rods and Customs as fools like Xibit began butchering Pimp Sleds in the name of entertainment. So as you can see the HAMB has a lively history and though we've strayed from the original Soap Opera content we do have a few who try and take us back there on a regular basis.

If you see your self in it, don't smack me, smack yo mama.
I always thought a "Hokey Pokey" was something a women's device for, er how shall I say... to be used when lacking a man or possessing a open minded one.
It was a joke... Only maybe not funny. Cut me some slack, anyone who goes by Curious Rash is missing a few cogs already
Regardless of what it means, you're thinking WAY too much. Focus that energy on your car for God's sake... Vance
'Hokey' I thought it was something else. What ever HAMB stands for I'm very happy it's here. It has put the fire back into my car sitting in the garage. Don't tell anyone but sometimes I like the O/T. Mick
Ok.....I gotta admit something.....When I first saw the name years ago I thought it was the "Honkey Ass Message Board". Oh well...Either way.....
Rashy, Where do you come up with this shit. Cracked me up. My wife always calls it the Hokey Pokey Board. You gotta know her dry sense of humor... Yep, Thats what its all about...
look up Hokey in the dictionary and there's a still picture of Hee Haw or Pettycoat Junction. Goofy as all get out but fun as hell, and every once in a while educational. Ass, that's just because it's a closeted meeting site for BF'ers Or the first server wouldn't allow just three letters in the URL? Or it's like calling your brother a Dumb-Ass instead of suggesting he's intelligence impaired.
yes what he pete said!!! i like to just follow rashy around and laugh!!!hell most likely be a big part of my healing process once the wife leaves me!!! now im off to start a thread [ot] about the funnist shit you have seen on the hamb....thanks for all the laughs rashy!!
Hokey and HAMB, Who would have guessed. I was under the impression that HAMB stood for (Hoodlems and Mommas Boys) I sure miss my Momma
Are you serious? If you put your whole self in, put your whole self out, put your whole self in and shake it all about, you will have done the Hokey Pokey and turned yourself around. That's what it's all about.
