How do you meet hambers at shows?

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by adamshumard, Sep 1, 2011.

  1. I wear my HAMB issued shirt and walk around until somebody introduces themselves to me, or until I spot another person/car with HAMB swag. Then I clutch nervously to said person's pant leg while they introduce me to other HAMBers. :D

    But after reading some of the initial posts on this thread, I now understand why the number of ass grabs I get at shows has gone up so much... :s

    I wear my HAMB shirt yet only a couple people have ever said anything to me. then again, I 've seen people in HAMB shirts and didn't say anything to them.
     
  4. Same here. I don't approach people very often, and I am quite unapproachable, ha!
     
  5. Maybe you need sweatpants that say "HAMB" across the ass?

    At the Frog Follies last weekend I asked only one person if they were a HAMB and he was. The very original 1932 5 window coupe with early 283, dropped heavy axle, and bias ply big’s and littles was my hint
     
  10. A Hamb Tee shirt works for me.

    Generally, when I roll in the gate, the hushed whispers begin like "oh my gawd, I think that there is cleatus" ,, "holy sheet cleatus is here!" ,, "whoaa, cleatus! - can you believe this? - f'n A!!!" then next thing you know its all over the loud speakers and the line begins to form....then everybody's chick wants their titty signed.
     
  12. Shana said it was so good she paid me!
     
  13. Some people say its Turrets. but I randomly blurt out "mufuckinhamb"
     
  14. At what point do you usually wake up during these 'proceedings'?? Before or after the long sleeve 'tie inna back' sweatshirt is produced??

    I wear a T-shirt that says:

    People stop me to agree...

    If I see that shirt, I'll stop you to disagree.

    Because I'm one, too.

    It's rather funny but I wore one of my HAMB shirts to a local swapmeet a few months ago and encountered a number of people who check out the classifieds on a regular basis but don't participate on the board. I might have got the Hamb discount from Headers on a pair of 57 Buick hubcaps though.
    But yuppers, a Hamb shirt or cap is probably the best way to have people know you are a member on here.

    Rather easy honestly. Build a car and post detailed pics on the HAMB. Post where you are going to be with said car (HAMB friendly venue) and trust me... they come out of the woodwork. :D

    Seriously, I thought every car guy over 50 was automatically a HAMB member? Can anyone name 5 car guys over 50 that are not HAMB members? :confused:

    here's a couple ways that might identify some real hambers, say the word r** r** , run an I.F.S. on a fenderless 33 chevy, or use z's instead of s's in a post
     
  27. found a HAMB dash tag on a firewall today, asked and forgot!!!
    and a t shirt is a giveaway too:D
     
  28. This brings them out!
