Wow, you're like the Grandmaster Flash of the HAMB. Congrats! Why don't you share some of your favorite photos you've taken over the past ten years.
Got it. I gotta stop bending the elbow whilst on the HAMB - too few functional cells in the grey matter to see the subtle nature of your post.
You guys are sweet - thanks. I think I spent the first 3-4 years on here photoshopping cars as '62Buford'... then switched my handle over to 'BLAKE' in honor of this really cool guy I know... he's awesome... get to know him...seriously. I do miss posts from Germ... and Stinky The Austin Bum... and the occasional one from The Knowbodys. I also miss the severe ration of shit given to folks what didn't intro prior to their first post... that was never not hilarious. "Would you just walk into a stranger's garage and jump into the conversation without doing an intro...?", we would say. Aaaah... good times. Viva La HAMB!
We are the Knowbodys. We are from Knowhere. We know nothing of which you speak. 62buford was a fag. This Blake guy on the other hand... is one hell of an attorney...
Ahhh... nice. This the first pic I ever posted here... part of my intro. The Buick was just back together (but not yet lowered), so we drove to a little car show-slash-ultralight-fly-in near my folks' place in Central BFE, Texas. I was reasonably proud of the Buick... but the HAMBers called me a fag and told me to shut the hood. Remember, kids... it gets better.
Congrats on your milestone. Crazy ain't it...that any of us are still here let alone ALL of us are still here. If you see an old post from say '03 pop up, check out some of the names...damn near all of em are still hanging around. See you in Joplin, -Abone.
I think I remember your Buick..and I think I remember sombody did call you a fag...fag was a popular word back then, but not as popular as "HAIRBITCH" -Abone.
What..? This old thing...? You don't want it...it's still dusty from that trip to Terlingua 2 weeks back.
I forgot about "Stinky The Austin Bum"! It took me a year and a half of reading the flaming threads before I actually met a few of the original members. After I met Fonzi in California, krupanut, buzzard, and the rest of the Texas crew including Blake did I join the board. And there hasn't been a day since then that these fellows haven't regretted inviting me to their garage!
