Bizarro Hamb

[Roothawg]

Here lately , it seems that the HAMB is kinda like Bizarro world. Lots of strange happenings and stranger people. Thanks to all the regulars for being.....well.... regular? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Kinda hard to explain the board just seems different lately.........

[Kerry]

I hope I'm considered one of the regulars. Don't think I could handle HAMB fiber in my diet.

[ray]

i think im many circles being a "HAMB regular" is an insult.

[Roothawg]

Maybe the State Assylums have internet access now?


Kerry, you are as regular as they come........

[Smokin Joe]

Little HAMB & CHEESE on RYE 'eh! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Just exactly what do you mean by being regular? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Roothawg]

Well, HRH ....what I mean is................

[Nads]

It's scientific my man.
Because germ seldom posts on the HAMB these days the void has to be filled with something.
It's the same principal which causes water to accumulate in modern car's headlight buckets and how the sight of strangers doing it makes your partner hot.

It's not the head it's the vapidity.

[Roothawg]

I see................

[Nads]

It's what made Jesus be able to walk on water....the meniscus.

[BELLM]

Phases & changes. Lots of new faces, lots of new regular posters. Don't see the "pack" mentality as much as we used to. Kinder & gentler HAMB.
I promised my wife I would cleanup my language. Done pretty good so far. Sure makes it hard to express myself though. So I guess that makes me part of the change. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[ray]

if only we could watch strangers do it on the hamb.

[Plowboy]

It was my "coming out" wasn't it. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I can't say that I am kinder nor gentler.

Hey Rashy, I think I am going to steal that as my new signature. "So Many Retards, So Little Time"... That cracks me up!

Remind me to tell you about the time I got socked in the head by a retarded guy some day... and no, I don't mean RF either.

Nads hit the nail on the head. It's called the "quantum theory of insanity."There is only so much insanity among any group of poeple.The more one person posseses, the les the rest of the group has and vise versa. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[OGNC]

Hey Rashy,

The worst part is that my buddy Steve saw the guy pull the hit-n-run on me and kicked the holy crap out of the guy before he knew what happened. So I am forever known as the guy who got punched in the head by a retard, but Steve is the guy who beat up the retard. I don't know which would be worse to tell you the truth! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Meniscus: 1.A crescent-shaped body.

4.A cartilage disk that acts as a cushion between the ends of bones that meet in a joint.

[Nads]

Being retarded is something I aspire to.

[Tman]

So how DO YOU like the new Green Day RF?

[Brooding Swede]

Roothawg, Regular? And E-regular? Yes on both. It’s gone up and down in the last six months from being way to many - completely Off/T post and then it will swing back to the not so Bizarro world. Back to Good car post. Yes it has changed a-bit from when I first was told to look here for refuge. I usually only post when I can't figure something out and need help or a good car question. To many posters don't use any kind of governor to control the shit that comes to their mind and ends up as an Off/T post. YES VERY BIZZARO. BS

[Django]

AND I found THIS BAD ASS PIC on the thread about VWs... FROM A VW MAGAZINE!

BIZARRO!

http://www.vwtrendsweb.com/features/0405vwt_hotrod19_z.jpg

[pigpen]

Big Daddy Roth, when asked about his philosophy on building cars, had this to say. "The weirder the better". Who can argue with a genius like Roth. What is bizarre to some is merely mundane to others. It's a matter of relativity.

pigpen


Relativity: A theory which is based on the two postulates (1) that the speed of light in a vacuum is constant and independent of the source or observer and (2) that the mathematical forms of the laws of physics are invariant in all inertial systems and which leads to the assertion of the equivalence of mass and energy and of change in mass, dimension, and time with increased velocity- called also, "special theory of relativity".

[RF]

Sorry to further contribute to the bizarro-bs-board, but, no, I don't really like the new Green Day. I bought it just to get a free Brainstew ring tone for my phone.

To get things back on track, who can tell me what the "Golden Submarine" is/was? (And no, it has nothing to do with Nads'ss defication traits)

[jalopy43]

I have broke the code to gain two -way access on the monitor screens. I CAN see strangers doing it from where I sit. The stranger, the better. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gifSparky

[Nads]

I don't know what the Golden Submarine was/is, but I do know that The Rutles recorded a song called Yellow Submarine Sandwich. I love The Rutles.

Has anyone ever seen the line of dried fruits, nuts and confectionary called Golden Stream?

I thought that was an odd name.

[Homeresque]

I think that statement actually proves that you have a little retard in you...

"Do you have a little retard in you? Would you like some?"
Someone had to say it.

The Golden Submarine was a pre-war lakes streamliner, run by a guy named Miller(not me), I think. Whada I win?

[RF]

All right, retarded it is. I keep printing out the ring tones from the Internet, but can't figure out how to get them into my phone...

Homer, you are pretty much correct. Golden Sub was one of the most beautiful creations by Harry A. Miller. He built it in 1915 for Barney Oldfield.

[Unkl Ian]

The HAMB always gets a little strange around a full moon.
Sometime stranger than others.

Usually it's just annoying newbies trying to show how tough they are.
Or some mindless arguement about some shit that doesn't matter.

If it gets wierd enough,long enough,it's usually followed by Tech Week.


There really IS order in chaos.
The trick is you have to be back far enough to be able to see it.http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Nads]

Hey Rob, is that the same Barney Oldfield who recorded Tubular Bells?

[RF]

I can't type when I laugh. I don't think those are the same Barneys, though...

Am I correct to ASSume that you collect vinyl?

[CURIOUS RASH]

<font color="green">Maybe it is a Bizzaro thing.

Like that episode of Seinfeld where Jerry went somewhere and went out with this group of people who were all friends.

Each one of them had a personality like one of his friends and you could tell who was supposed to be who.

I have noticed the same thing in my travels, hooking up with HAMBers.

Of course, we don't have a NADS in our group but our drug supply is limited to things that kill here.

So, maybe lately what you're noticing is that your regular HAMB friends are busy, tired of the stupid shit on here, and just not posting much.

So, in their absence, there are these OTHERS who ARE posting things that are similar enough to be comforting but different enough to be annoying at the same time?

That being said,

I like cheese. </font>

[Nads]

Yes I do collect vinyl Rob.
I have thousands of records, ranging from the unlistenable to the barely listenable.
I like to lay on the ground and listen to Ommadawn on headphones and pretend I have eight ears.

Have you ever heard Black Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Coon"? It's hard to find, I'll burn you a copy if you like, it's experimental reggae in Quadrplegic, er I meant Quadrophonic.

[stealthcruiser]

hey Nads,
that was mike oilfield.

[RF]

They headlined the '60s peace rallys in Watts and Mississippi, right? Real popular in the Southern states if I remember correctly.

[Roothawg]

and to think if I would have posted a question about a hotrod it would be on page 3........

I like chesse as well.

Not actually Flat Ernie, it goes like this, "God save the Queen, her fascist regime, she made you a moron, a potential H bomb."

[Hot Rod To Hell]

Is this the 5 o'clock free crack giveaway?

[porknbeaner]

I thought things moved pretty quick when I came on board.
Now we have more new folks on a daily basis than I can keep up with. Doesn't seem like they stay around though. Kinda like MR Natural, "Just Passin' Through"
And you're absolutely right, lotsa real odd stuff happinin faster than that. I think we're going into an ice age or somethin'. Definately some cosmic forces at work.

[fab32]

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to retrieve the 10 minutes I used reading this thread? If not, that's OK, I was just wondering. Root is right, about asking a Hot Rod related question, they just don't have any stamina these days.

I hear there's some good reading on cereal boxes these days.

Supposedly a carpenter remodeling a Chicago home found several of these posters used as insulation in the atic. He sold prints of the original.

[slammed]

Tommy, make a copy of that killer poster and HAMB auction ti, please.

[Nads]

Tommy, wasn't the car a featured attraction at Goodwood this year?
Is the car still in America?
Cool story about the poster.

See...you can talk about urine, dope, records, AND hot rods all in one post. Nothing bizarro about that!

[OGNC]

Don't forget about the Retards and Green Day... though it might be one and the same.

I don't know anything about the car. I don't recall ever seeing any modern pictures of the car.

It was a famous race car of that era. As I understand it he toured the country with the car. When he got to your town they would write in the dates and place in the blank space on the poster.

BTW The HAMB has so many bizarro inside jokes that I haven't a clue what you are talking about most of the time. It's so far over my head I don't even try to understand. I just play around with my old hot rods.

<font color="green"> Wow!

This post has gone to hell quite nicely!

If you set your preferences for number of posts to show per page to 99, your tech article will be on page 2, not three.

The problem with some tech articles is that they apply to a small number of people.

For example, "Can someone help me adjust the Mutilator valve on my 1920 Ford steam engine?"

Now, I could care less about steam engines and have had no success adjusting the mutilator valve on my SBC so why read it?

Now, on the other hand, a post with a title like this appeals to the smart ass little bastard child in all of us.

I find it to be a useful and relevant post. </font>
