Hey Slazz..Lukester has been bustin ass on his pickup but I can't seem to get my ass in gear. I'm almost finished collecting parts for my winter build and I've been cleaning, sandblasting, glassbeading and painting parts prior to assembly. Boring but necessary work. I gotta step up the activity level!
Had so much out-of-town company with friends and inlaws, there's been little time for the "important" things in life. Building hot rods!

I'm never get bored bullshitting about old hot rods. I do get bored reading soap operas and bitch sessions about things that noone has any control over. They get the most responses.(usually not from me) So why did I respond to this one. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Slazz, you are right. We all need to do something about it. I should have a rolling chassis for my A-V8 soon, look forward to post up-date pix and talk about hot rods and old cars. As in any community, there will be bitch sessions, hey, we can't all think the same, but let's keep it about TRADITIONAL CARS.

How many message board members does it take........ ...to change a light bulb??

1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed

14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light
bulb could have been changed differently

7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs

1 to move it to the Lighting section

2 to argue then move it to the Electricals section

7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs

5 to flame the spell checkers

3 to correct spelling/grammar flames

6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another 6
to condemn those 6 as anal-retentive

2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"

15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb"
is perfectly correct

19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this
discussion to a lightbulb forum

11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs
and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum

36 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy
the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique
and what brands are faulty

7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs

4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected
URL's

3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this
group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group

13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"

5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy

4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"

13 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about
light bulbs"

1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start
it all over again

Winfab

1 to post a picture of a naked guy changing a light bulb.

I havent had a internet connection for a a few months and I really don't feel that I have missed all that much on the hamb except for the occasional artist crying about recognition or whatever artists cry about(because that's what artists do,right????) http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif All in all I am still a Hamb addict and I have made a lot of freinds on here. I guess thats what freinds do after they have hung out for a long time and thats talk about fucking nothing. Sometimes I feel that I'm stuck in between two Bi-polar motherfuckers(yes, I've been there) talking about everything but anything. All in all the Hamb is what we make it! Respond to the volkswagen posts and thats what it becomes, respond to the "What color shirt will match my shoes post" and we have the Kelli Osborn chat room. Me? I'm a read Playboy for the pictures kinda guy! I think we can agree on that http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

So Django what your saying is that it takes a 187 Hambers to change a light bulb (lightbulb, sp?) or maybe you want to kill everyone on the Hamb or maybe I am just too goddamned bored at work today????? ;D

I think a lot of HAMBERS are actually working on their cars and whats being posted is from people with too much time on their hands.

Sorry, Slaz, here, I'll help out. I'll post the "Top 3" list of most popular HAMB topics...

Allright, I'll make it a top 10 letterman style...

#10 "Where can I get fiberglass T-bucket bodies cheap?"

#9 "Anybody got an extra Model A coupe body they don't want?"

#8 "Help, 1-wire alternator trouble."

#7 "I got some angle iron that usta be a bedframe, can I make my chassis out of it?"

#6 "I caught Burndup and my teenage daughter in the back of his car, and goddammit, his fuckin car left a 3 foot wide oilspot on my driveway!"

#5 "Does this look gay?"

#4 "What do you guys think about ______?"

#3. "Boyd Coddington can lick my ass."

#2. "What Does this have to do with Traditional Rods and Kustoms?"

And, the all time, most discussed, and therefore most popular thing to discuss on the HAMB...

#1... "MY PUSSY HURTS!!!"

Hey! i resemble that remark...
but seriously... it's always been this "boring"... you just have to pick and choose the post you open / follow (or at least i do)... there are some i never open b/c i think i know what they are about by the heading. i just don't waste my time... that's why that one about webrodder.com, got me so red assed.... i was just pissed off that i read it....


and trust me this isn't the first time this exact type of post has been on the hamb.... it is usually titled "hey why aren't we posting about cars?"; "shut up and build something" or something to that effect... everything seems to be cyclical in life.... the hamb is no different.

we used to get some sweet posts about how you sucked if you weren't on the old board, and the "i've been a hamber longer than you" ones too... i think everybody takes care of that when they rip intro's / newbies now... so i don't open those either.

The only thing ive been posting has pertained to building my '29.

I've been workin my ass off on the front axle and bones which I wont show untill the parts are ready for CHROME.

I think everyones working on there projects.

Just in the last week I located most of my missing parts right here on the hamb INCLUDEING a title for the A...
That and a trans,
what adapter to get for the hemi,
what b/c to run on my hubs,
backing plates for my poncho rear end,
how to properly count gears in the 3d member
sold a bunch of stuff
This place in anything but boring...
you get out of it what ya put in, its true.

How difficult is it to use some punctuation so we can actually
read/decipher their insane run-on sentences..??

That's my pet-peeve, and don't worry slazzen, you aren't the only one..!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Your verbal expressions are far to complicated for my diminutative comprehension.

And, you must realize, that without knowing or ascertaining, It is highly impropable that I can reach a prognostic diagnosis regarding any pertinent data submitted here.

And I do not hear all that well.

Could you re-post with all capitals, so I can better hear you?

Off topic, but I am collecting parts for the Roothawg or Die Coupe.
Monday, chassis work begins with rear suspension.
After that, body goes back on frame for fitment of front suspension and alignment thereof within the confines of fat front fenders.
