What the HELL does your HAMB name mean?!?!

Got stuck with the Mikey thing in the 60's.....damn life cerial commercial
"hey mikey....".
Fast foreward to the 90's...traveled most of the US working for a "major airline" as a single source parts expediter. One of the guys i worked with was from the bronx, and liked the Honeymooners....Ralph Cramden, Ed Norton, etc.....one day i was walking into a site at JFK international & saw Nick across the shop.......and he hollers, Hey Mikeyboy.....
it stuck

 

Please stop.

 

It was 1963 and I was ten. Went to my buddy's house for the weekend and discovered he had a stack of old car magazines his uncle gave him. We spent the whole weekend reading and re-reading every one.

I went home and mailed in a subscription to "Rod & Custom" magazine. I still have all those issues from 1963 (and hundreds more from before and after).
I've been hooked on this silly hobby ever since.

So my name is a pun on R&C, but it also describes the '58 Belair (now long gone) in my avatar:

"Wow, it only has a little rot in the floor!" Until I started grinding away...

 

My name is JOE and I used to play bass for a band called URBAN RIOT.

 

Nice one deuce .iread the book a long time ago about Lazarus long (time enough for love?)also seen the film about the sled called rosebud but cannot remember the name of it ...........both very very good and thank you for letting me remember "time enough for love " i will get another copy ans read it.........Marq

 

Actually, it stemmed from my big brother's name, Harold. His friends used to call him Harold from Hell, and in turn, I ended up being referred to as Jimmy from Hell!He used to be Harold in Hell, then he got a divorce.

 

Pigpen. I got that awful name in 1966, on the USS Kitty Hawk, working in the avionics shop. I was wiring some test panels one day while we were out at sea off the coast of Nam, and made a horrible mess. Wire clippings, spot tie, solder, pins, plugs, an awful mess. The shop chief gave me that awful name because I didn't get the mess cleaned up fast enough for him. Almost 40 years gone by, and I still have that awful name. Disgusting! Here's a pic of my smiling face and some of the pig iron (aluminum) that I once worked on, in another time, and another place. More pic's and info at www.vf-114.org.

I'm not cool enough for a name either..................David Webber

 

I'm a Heinlein freak. Lazarus Long and Maureen and of course Dora, are my favorite characters. I'm hoping for a TV series.

heres your avatar.

 

i got the nick name my freshman year of highschool in metal shop because that year they banned smoking on school grounds. I use to take a piece of 1/2 plate into the welding area and just waste rod after rod so i could smoke. i was also the only one that knew how to even use the arc welder.

kustom came my senior year for the cars i had and it has stuck for the past 15 years

 

back when i was just a little guy i could be seen tagging along side of my dad . his nick name was YOGI so its only fitting that i got BOOBOOO as a nick name early on. when i first got on the HAMB i strugled with a nickname but always got back to booboo and since no one elase had it it was a perfect fit .

 

I own a 1950 Stu D Baker.

 

Email, name of the garage, rods & relics, basically didn't think about anything fancy at the time, and upon reflection now I don't much give a shit. Had a truck for several years and the real truckers were irritated cause I didn't gat a "handle" for the CB. Never was much of a conformist.
Sawzall get's my vote for best handle, got 3 myself.

 

Enough said. -MIKE

 

I'm in the Twisters Car Club in Enid Oklahoma. I know I'm Twisted. (You have to be just to post on this site!!)

 

carartNICK

CAR = I like cars
art = I am an artist
NICK = my name is NICK

(NOTE: one fellow Hamber thought my name was: carrot-NICK. NO. That is wrong. But I do like carrots...new name!: wasupDOC?)

 

"Jangle" is a word that kind of created itself over time (long funny story) and I just incorporated it into my speech and became known as the jangle guy. It's a multi-purpose word: to jangle is to screw up, relax, party, whatever you need it to be.

I considered taking advantage of being Rockys brother and naming myself Bullwinkle or Pebbles or some such shit, but as usual, took my own path...
Anyone know where this path leads???

Oh, and the Tyre Friars Hot Rod Gang is our tiny club of tiny hot rodded English street/strip cars...

 

My first name.

I had a '46 Ford coupe = FORDY 6. That has since been replaced with a '31 Ford coupe...

 

Mines what i drive and all i could think of under pressure!

 

The motor that moves history...

 

My pop's and I both raced dirt cars at the same time. We were both big guys and named AL, so he was Big Al, and I was LIL' AL.(Or Shithead to pop's!).

 

61-66 Ford trucks are Nick named "Slicks" because of the way they look. I drive a 64 F100.Mike

 

Im new to the board , I own a merc , and I can be jerk !

 

I'm more curious about where you went to find that avatar than I am about your screen name. Do you mind telling where you got it at? Thanks, CH

 

I own a Crematory. Any questons?

 

DeSoto + Hudon = dehudso
