The mailman just dropped off my HAMB calendar and it's just as good as I'd hoped! Great work by all those involved!

At some point Mercman's calendar got folded in HALF http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

But it seems to be alright with him http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Well that sucks! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif Thats why we put the cardboard in them so that wouldn't happen! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif Hopefully all the mail delivery folks aren't that stupid. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

If he wants to stop by the house and trade it in for a perfect one, he can.

Ever since I used to sit through Dance Fever to fill the gap between The Muppet Show and CHiPs on Saturday nights as a kid, I've thought Denny was da MAN!!!

He'd flash those groovy moves and introduce the contestants in his wide collars and sparkling get-ups...

[/ QUOTE ]

http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif you noticed http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif The first 100 or so calendars got pieces of cardboard that I used to slide inside a t-shirt or dress while I painted on it. Hence the painted cardboard. After we ran out of all those, a couple of the guys ran to Wally World in a pickup and FILLED the back with flattened out bozes. You have NO CLUE how many leftover cardboard boxes and scraps I have in the basement now http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif I could start my own shanty town in Livonia! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

It was too cold to snow...
Mailman is probably waiting for the next heavy wet snow to dump it in the drift by the mailbox.
The gas and light bills showed up just fine tho...

On a lighter note:

Balding: CHECK
BEER Gut: CHECK

got mine too, perfect shape, fucking awesome overall. as far as mail goes, there sometimes isn't much you can do to prevent it from being trashed. my fucking college diploma came in the mail with a do not bend or fold decal, but i couldn't see that until i unwrapped it from the rest of the mail that it was rubber banded around...

oh, and thanks to everybody for making the calendars happen!

Mine showed up today too, in perfect condition.

And I gotta say, this isTHE COOLEST calendar I've ever seein -- graphics, printing, text, photos, it's all top shelf shit. The fact that it was all volunteer just multiplies the coolness by a huge factor.

Hint -- if we can start on next year's calendar NOW, and have it ready by August/September? We can probably find a larger market for it to support the HAMB.

I'll volunteer to do the PR/news releases for it if it happens again.

NorCalNic, if yours is badly damaged by the dew by all means let me know and I'll replace it. That goes for anyone else too whos calendar did not fair well through the postal service. I think it's pretty cool when you can mail something on Monday from Michigan and guys in California are getting them on Wed!

The "Gay Michigan Bitches" did miss a few Califoria envelopes that were here in the computer room cuz they hadn't made it out to the trunk yet. Please don't feel left out if you didn't get a "Love Message" from the guys.

To those such as PurplePickup and SCR8PN, I knew I could get "away" with a "special" little "message" on your envelopes cuz I know your wives, and they know me. I wouldn't want to get anyone in "trouble" from something that was written by me. You know what I mean.

Curly, what is your "real" name and I'll look on the list to make sure your name is listed. They all went out, and yours should have been there by now. Unless you live way out in the boonies or something. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

looks like this is the 80th reply. it appears to me that most everyone is raving about how good the calendar turned out and passing along the message that his/hers arrived (and mostly in good condition).

i gotta add that (a) mine arrived yesterday in good condition, and (b) these things are about as cool as a calendar could be.

my sincere thanx to EVERYONE who had any part in making these happen. that includes whoever had the idea, the artists, the photographers, the writers, the order takers, the accountant, the mailers, and whomever else i've forgotten.

I'm glad I din't get the love letters like the other Cali boys. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif Denise didn't have my addy at the packing party so I think they didn't know I was in Cali too. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif </font>

Got mine and it looks great. Love the tear-off design. Use it &amp; throw it away when it is done - HAMB style!

Thanks to the "GMB's" - and Denise.

Got mine today. I just ordered it cause I like the HAMB people and figured it would be neat! I sure was blown away by what arrived. Neatest calendar I have ever had. You all did great work!!!!! Oove the bit with the little tiny 2004 on the front between the 1948.

I just got mine in the mail today. I was starting to get nervous as we are celebrating X-mas with my dad this weekend. He is an original hotrodder who has been captured by the Billet Bitches, I think this might get him back on the right track. I knew Denise wouldn't let us down. They are far better than I ever imagined. I'm glad I got 2 but am thinking I may need a couple of more. Let me know if there are extras. Thanks again all at the H.A.M.B. who put this together.
PS. the packing job was AWESOME!

I just got mine today. I SCORED a cardboard with a multi-colored glittery splotchy outline of a heart! That was almost as cool as the calender!

This is a bitchin calender, I had no idea that there would be different pinstripe designs on every page, how cool!

Im glad I got mine and will get many other HAMB created items in the future! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I think it is loaded on the same pack mule as mine...I'm in Cleveland so when I get mine I'll let ya know. It should only be a couple of more days http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I was at my wife's work X-mas party last night and the post office was having their party in the other banquet hall in the same building. The post office had a slight problem...their credit card was denied on a $6000.00 bill!!!

They probably are gonna raffle off our calendars cuz they are sooo coool!

I knew I could get "away" with a "special" little "message" on your envelopes cuz I know your wives, and they know me. I wouldn't want to get anyone in "trouble" from something that was written by me. You know what I mean.

Mine arrived Thursday while I was out of town and the mother-in-law who checks the mail for us was quite confused about me getting "Love from Michigan". Sharon and I got a big laugh out of that. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif The calendar looks great and will be a perfect addition to the shop.

Got home from San Diego this weekend and low-n-behold, I had calenders in my mailbox! They're friggin awesome! But I have to ask about the cryptic love note I got... it simply said "Thurs." on the cardboard... I guess I'll just wait until Thurs. to find out.

Tagman, I mentioned earlier for you to PM me your real name so I could check the list to make sure that, not only did you order them, but they were shipped out to you. The offer still holds. PM me your name and when I get home tonight, around 10pm, I'll get back to you.

If you paypal'ed and DIDN'T include your address on the form, guess what, your order then didn't make it to the spreadsheet. But of course, you wouldn't have forgotten to include a shipping address now would you?? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

For the Christmas present you can print out this thread, wrap it, and give it to the person who's getting the calendar. It will build up their excitement about receiving such a cool Christmas present, even though it's going to be a few days late.
