This just goes to show you how addictive these two sites are! I enjoy the Vintage Photos on the H.A.M.B. just about every evening while listening to the Internet music. Kind of a relaxing way to finish the day...

I used to be addicted to looking at that thread also until it got to where people were just reposting the same photos over and over again.

Ryan, I think this will call for a new T-shirt!
I survived the 2014 HAMB outage.
That is if we survive.

Eveytime someone responds the pictures are shown again, but that's okay. I have seen very few pictures re-posted otherwise.

So I spend the day on Google doing research but half the results point me to the HAMB ... which is down.
I bet the NSA have put half their staff on leave 'til Ryan gets the HAMB back up again. US internet traffic down 25%. Two nuclear power stations closed down!

Have you been watching it from the start? I am not talking about pics coming back with a response. The same photos from the first few thousand pages are being reposted sometimes several times. I can remember seeing them. But thats ok because it would take a week to go back and look through that long thread. I think it was at about 900 thousand posts when the hamb went down wasn't it?

Don't know how much longer I can take this. Last night actually sat on the porch with my wife and stared out the screen window and she said "why are YOU here"? I said no hamb, and she said there is plenty in the frig. I went back out to the shop because trying to explain what is going on would definitely put me over the edge. Boss, help me!!!!!!

X2 ! No HAMB but there appears to be quite a bit of 'corn'. . .

That's DAMN FUNNY I wonder if she is a blonde & also reminds me of this nut house. Forgive me for hi-jacking your post but I have to tell you this one:
I was on the cardboard creeper under the park avenue trying to change the oil. Well I had it jacked up & on jack stands & wriggled underneath but the jack stands were in the way & the clearance was very very close,my gut was rubbing/cleaning the under carriage. I couldn't get to the drain plug & claustrophobia was setting in. I said screw it take it to a garage & started to wriggle back out when she grabbed my belt & started to pull on it. HOLY MOTHER OF Jesus I thought the car was coming down & let out a bloody yell. She says I'm sorry I thought you were stuck. I said Did I ask for help get out of the blanking garage further more if I want your help I will ask. Then she started the crying routine. No Hamb & just cold cuts for dinner.
Come on Ryan get er dun. BTW I went under from the front & got the oil changed. Lots of room in front.

My wife once asked me if the HAMB was a porn site......."Well you sure spend a lot of time on there!"......."Honey if it were a porn site I'd only be on there for a few minutes" ...........
