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?

Post you picture:-)

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.

choner

I am not concerned about bandwidth, but I am afraid of bandheights.

what about band-girth?

it makes me laugh. That's purpose enough.

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.

and in the words of our brother cruiser...amen

If you ever get Hubcaped, you will feel priviledged!

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)

I don't know the technical term, but it seems AVB has a clown-phobia.

technical name: Coulrophobia

Cause it's funny. Nuff said.

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

Remember, newbies are at the bottom of the food chain. Just below pond scum, but just above Liberal. I would, sit back, hold on & shut up!.... ;>)
