What is with all of those stupid clown inserts in the picture posts? It takes no imagination to keep cutting the same pic and inserting it into other photos. Besides wasting bandwith and storage what purpose does this serve?

Yeah! What purpose does Hubcap serve anyway!?

I think we should question the Dallas Cowboys about their cheerleaders...I don't get it!

J/K!

Hubcap the clown is our little tongue-in-cheek mascot, so to speak. If you ever post a pic of your mug here, sooner or later it too will be "Hubcapped"! Cbid seems to be okay with this since there are tons of Hubcap-erized pics...

Everyone here on Cbid loves to waste bandwidth. We just thought the clown would serve that purpose best.

AVB --- Hubcap the Clown is a member of these forums, since the very beginning, although he hasn't posted in quite awhile.

He is a respected Shriner, and performs for kids in Springfield, Illinois at Childrens Hospitals to make their lives a little happier.

Since the conception of these forums at CB, he has been the 'unofficial' mascot here ... and it is considered to an honor to be 'Hubcapped' ...

... and it's tradition.

You use the clown because Hubcap the Gorilla didn't have the same zing to it.

We post the clown with other pictures because we get paid to. If you put your email address down we can put you on the list and you can start getting some of the free cigars too!


Hubcap doesn't post here anymore because I stole his little motorcycle and he lives 25 miles away from a library with a computer. I took his little fez too. When I want to, I can be a bad man. Who knows maybe I'll ride into your town with my slippers. Weirder things have happened!

AVB. Are you some kind of Redneck or a disgruntled NY Yankee fan?

Not that anyone really cares but you should really lurk a while before posting your opinion.

It looks like your true colors have shined through.

(Not meant to offend any Rednecks or NY Yankee fans)

redneck, Just what colors would that be? I find it hard to believe that there is only one person who finds this annoying. Maybe others are more polite then I. BTW, I knew that Hubcap is/was a real clown and used to post here. What I don't understand is why this is thought to be funny after....oh I don't know, the 100th time or so.

Oh well, to each his own.

In all seriousness AVB most of the time I don't think its funny either. Although sometimes someone does tdo a hubcapping that is out of the ordinary and very funny.

But I don't think its meant to be funny. Its more of a tradition. Why do brides wear white? Why do Packer fans wear cheese on their heads? Why do people pass cigars out when a baby is born (although lots of new babies on this board and I have yet to receive any cigars). Because that is the tradition. Someone started hubcapping and it just snowballed from there. If you don't like it that is fine. Then start your own tradition.

Actually, he gets to be even funnier after about 501 times ... to avoid having to wait for an additional 400 pics to be Hubcapped, you could always get up to speed by going back and reviewing that many of the old pics ...

Just a thought

plabonte: Starting my own tradition wouldn't change this one so that is pretty pointless.

SteveS: I did review about a thousand of the old picture posts, that's how I know it is annoying.

Magnafide: Judging by some of your previous posts I guess I gotta forgive you cause being a Raiders fan you don't know any better.

Normally at this point I would re explain my point that it isn't supposed to make sense. But I sense that this post is more for the purpose of trolling then the actual understanding of the art of hubcapping. So I'll refrain from any such explanation.

I dont know any better? Thats a laugh. As I see it, you have three options. Learn to; take a joke, take a pill, or take a hike.

Watch out AVB.
Mag may dress up like a Clown and scare the piss out of you.


Of course, MOST Raider fans dress up like something every weekend.
Judging by their performance this season, I guess next week it'll be the ol' Bag over the Head costumes...


Yes, Mag, I HAD to comment.
Until those thugs in Oakland dress the part of Fans rather than S&M torture demons, they're going to be on the receiving end of my derogatory comments.

Joe, go play somewhere else for a while.

AVB, go change your tampon. You are a sensitive little bitch. There, now you have something to gripe about.

You got a problem? e-mail me at Magnafide(at)AOL(dot)com. We can speak freely there. If not STFU!!

who in the hell are you to come here and make fun of a tradition that has been going on for as long as i can remember.

i would suggest if you don't like it here, don't stay.

if you do want to stay here, listen twice and talk once.

Don't ya just love this country? You get to say things like: "Who the hell are you to tell me I can't question what I want." You have the choice to answer or not.

Slim provided enough information on the 8th post. The rest of this is just people trying to get change for their dimes.

Seems to me AVB is just one of those people that likes to stir it up and get his (or her) kicks by pissing people off.

The best way to deal with this type of person is to ignore them. Do not reply to their posts. Soon enough they will go away.

Ya know, I like it when new blood stirs things up....I love reading all the threats and put-downs......It's a open forum, and someone that's been here for 5 years has no preference over someone thats been here for 5 days........so, good for you AVB to inquire, he asked a simple question, and bad for the other 25 to put the newbie in his place..

my bad for for responding unkindly. so i start over please.

it isn't the question you ask, who is hubcap and why is a fuss made, and why is he always popping up.

it's the way you asked the question.

instead of me quoting you, reread your post as though some newcomer walked into your "club house" and asked why do you have all those stupid pictures of "whoever" and what is the point to it. you are taking up too much wall space, and i don't find it funny.

if you can detach and read it through those eyes, you will see why some people, including me, were offended.

it's like saying to someone, why do you drive that stupid car, why do you cut that cigar with that stupid cutter. i hope i have explained things properly so you can understand why you got such negative response.

There once was a poster named AVB
"What's with this clown" posted he (or she)
This hubcap myth
is a waste of bandwith
But the hubcapping continues much to our glee

The question came fast and furious.
Just what is this clown? I'm curious.
He pops up in places and on people's faces
And wastes lots of bandwidth and spaces.

The answer was outrage unbound.
He disparedged Hubcap the clown!
Our tradition is trashed
We should all kick his A**
(Or take a break and learn to calm down)

Thats pretty good AVB I'm impressed
But don't you think its time to give it a rest?
He's a silly clown, its a silly tradition
And we are all well aware of your positition
That hubcapping pictures is juvenile
But your seem a newbie so just wait awhile
This is a great board with lots of great members
But with your piss and vinegar you're only flaring tempers

So sit back have a smoke and count to ten
and calm yourself before you post here again
Becasue you can B*%$# and moan all the live long day
But I think hubcapping pictures is here to stay
