Art & Inspiration Your HAMB I.D. - How will I know another HAMB member???

They always ask for their Alliance discount! Then you do the secret hand shake to verify they are not Posers.

 

I carry a bunny with a pancake on its head to shows...

 

If you have a booth at a swap meet, hang a make shift sign, with H.A.M.B. on it..that should spark some conversation, and possibly new friendships.

 

Hand out flyers that have your Barn-Find 1929 HENWAY For Sale, any HAMB member will know WTF.

 

Is it a playboy bunny?

I have a HAMB banner made up every year for Hershey and get all the HAMB people to sign it. Only down side was some hard core Ford Barn ahole thinking I was Ryan and wanting to pick a fight with me because of the wording in the "Rules of the Hamb". They don't call them Aholes without a reason, you had to be there,funny stuff.

 

Like dogs... sniff eachothers butts

 

So a bunch of us go to a show.
One guy tells how he saved a 32 five window that was just a roof and part of the cowl.
Another guy describes how he used some aluminum siding and boiler parts to build his hot rod?
We HAMBers just sat around the campfire,stirring the coals with our dic.....


Look for HAMB banners(not around campfires tho!) We've met lots of great people at shows.

 

just ask what the best lunch meat is....if they answer correctly then you know your in the clear. then you can proceed to find out who they are.

I look for droolers hanging around rust. HAMB members all.

 

Im just amazed when someone says what does HAMBee mean???

 

If you're selling at a swap meet, post a sign that says "discount for HAMB members on all items"

If the buyer greets you with the secret handshake=10% discount
If they go straight to the secret ass grab=20%

If they claim to be a HAMBer but don't follow through with the above, impose a brief HAMB trivia quiz to weed out poseurs.

For 10% off answer one of the following;

1) What is on the HAMB bunny's head (per 3 w Larry)?
2) What movie is Bad Bob's Merc featured in?

For 20% off answer one of the following;

1) Recite one of Germ's trademarked words (TM) (ie; "Peachplunger")
2) State the number of cars Chris has bought in the last 2 years (including "parts cars").

 

rofl!!!!!

 

That explains it, I thought he was coming on to me.

 

when they get within 10 feet of a rat rod, they break out in a rash!

 

I do the same. It's amazing how many swap meet vendors and buyers check out the classifieds every day but don't participate on the board it's self.

Of course you get that "You one of dem Hamb guys?" from some guys who see themselves as outsiders for one reason or another.

 

It would be great to have a HAMB patch to sew on to my jacket, but I don't see one in the store....

 

BWAHAHAHhahaha......You'll be getting the bill for cleaning the coffee outta my MAC keyboard, ass.

Mine is my hat...

 

He said INSIDE diameter...30" was a mental picture I DIDN'T need....

 

Or... "Hammer? Yeah, I got a hammer. It's the only tool I used to build my rod."

 

The really "cool" people don't want you to know they are on the HAMB.

But for the rest of us... it usually starts out with some small talk about hot rods... then turns to "are you on the HAMB?"

And you usually get an answer something like "Yea, I'm fifty-vee-eight-butt-lover! What's your name??"

THEN we do the secret ass-grab...

You have to do your homework,haha!
Lots of HAMBers wear HAMB shirts. I have met many just cause they recognize me from threads on the HAMB. I also set up "Camp HAMB" when I go to big events,so members can stop by,sign the banner and say HI. Many HAMBers hang out there and store their parts or stuff they buy,plus I try to introduce the HAMB members to whoever stops by. It takes a while and you have to contact other members when they are going to an event. LARS is the best show to meet other members. They come from all over the world to that show.

 

THAT would do it! HA! Thats some funny stuff there!!!!R~R

 

I meet HAMBERS everywhere I go .I usually see people that look like traditional
rodders and ask "Are you a HAMBER? "
I am working on a sign for my booth saying "HAMB spoken here" .

 

Nice hat...

 

or...I'll glady pay you Tuesday for a H.A.M.B. member today...wimpy

 

Might use that as my logo on my next BBQ shirts....thanks.

 

When we go to shows I just look for the tag, and then the converstaion starts from there. Just joined the alliance Thursday of this week hope they mail me the instructions to the hand shake and the ass grab!

 

I.D. Lost mine in a flood!
