OT - TLC comes after the HAMB

Damn, I was hoping they'd air us screaming at each other and meeting impossible deadlines for our posts....

 

That is some funny shit. I for one would have liked to see how they were gonna make this group family friendly. That would have been worth the price of admission. Hell you should have sent Germ as the official represenative. At least it would have been funny.

 

Did you see Old School?

I can totally see the Vince Vaughn character watching that episode of Rides yelling "earmuffs!" to his kid...

Perfect reponse.

Stacey

 

WTF!!!!
Ryan have you gone mad?
We ARE family friendly!

Hatfield Family, McCoy Family, Dalton Family, Addams Family, Osbourne Family, Munster's Family, Manson Family...

 

well stated Ryan..

 

zman said it,send germ as host,that woulda brought better ratings than the two dicks on discovery channel....good call ryan,don't think the general public would understand anyhow......hell,i'm still tryin to figure it out

 

Interesting........

 

It was inevitable that someone come knocking at the door. Good decision. The world is not ready for flat black soccer mom minivans with HAMB stickers over the West Coast Choppers sticker in the back window. I hope they treat that calendar with the respect it deserves!

 

It would be kinda cool to air HAMB. but your right on the editing selection....

 

The amount of non-traditional hot rod viewers that would invade here would be astronomical. Good call Ryan.

 

right choice ryan. ain't none of us with brains trying to be celebrities. but then, i don't tell "everybody" about the hamb, only those that will get it.


oh, and glad to see you are talking about the tv TLC, i thought maybe "left eye" Lopez was stalking you or something!

 

haha....I told Monster Garage what you told TLC....FIRST!
And I didn't even give them a parting gift.....Ryan,your skateboard can't possibly have too much dust on it,judging by your clever bon mot to TLC.....

My thoughts exactly. Can you imagine?

You mean I've missed my chance to type on T.V.?

 

Good call Ryan. I could see that being the begining of the end for the HAMB. Kind of like the guy who turns his hobby into a business and finds out that, now it's is no longer fun, just work.

 

Now if it were to be a show about real world dysfunctional hot rod & custom builders thats different.

TLC would never portray the HAMB for what we really are. So much for "life unscripted"

Good call Ryan.

WHAT!!!! SAY IT ISN'T SOOOOO!!! YOU SAID NO!?! Now I'll never be able to go the Gadzook's store in the mall and buy my West Coast Von Choppers HAMB t-shirt!!! ARGH!

 

That was a great, well thought out response. Thats why you get the big bucks !!

 

I believe Ryan's response, while being blunt and to the point, was very tactful and appreciative. That's a tough combination. I am impressed.

I like our HAMB just the way it is. Pimping it to the masses would be disastrous. I have a lot of respect for Ryan for not "selling out".

Thanks, JH

 

Good point, we need to have new HAMB t-shirts again, I only have two and they are getting threadbare.

 

I'm with ya Ryan, the only way that I would allow them to do a show about the HAMB, is if Germ could host it, UNEDITED!

 

On one hand it would be cool if some of our cars could be on TV... but on the other hand... the fucking mass hysteria that would follow with every Tom Dick and Laquisha wanting to be a "RAT RODDER" would buckle us...

So, I think you handled it well... ya fucking hoodlum.

I think it's too late for not wanting any non-trad and goldchainers to join the HAMB, Well the population here has almost doubles in a year, probably from the R&C article and other HAMBERS mentioning the site.
On another note, I think we have enough going on between all of us to do a HAMB Televsion Channel, not just a cameo on some episode

 

Hoodlums?

Give me a break.

Amen.

 

Thanks Ryan for the well scripted and polite refusal to sell this thing out.
Well done.

Good call...Just think of the huge qauntities of chuckle-heads that woulda jumped in here!

 

Good job!

The HAMB would indeed get overwhelmed by cooks!

 

Yeah fuck them guys ....the nerve of them wanting us to be part of ANOTHER show. Way to go Ryan, we need to hold out for "HAMB TV"
