This is a new category to honor an old friend, that left us way too soon. I will update frequently, so please comment or email with any Hampisms you would like to share.
-“Whatever you do, never put chicken skin in your garbage disposal.”
-“Never bet on a streak to end.”
-“I slept in a nice clean ditch!”
-“Stop calling me that, I don’t like it.”, after multiple attempts by me to establish the nickname ‘Hampy Go Lucky’.
-“You can still feel her spirit here, though.”, after driving out to the witch’s house, only to find the house had been demolished. (Not sure if Hamp or I said that, but we both kind of shrugged our shoulders and left.)
-“You dishonor this man’s profession, by smoking in a non-smoking cab!” (Not sure these were the exact words, but the sentiment is correct. He was not very happy with me.)
-From Nick while riding through Downtown Macon, coming back from Georgia-Florida, “Hamp, are you going to just disregard every redlight in the city of Macon?”, after we had ran about three in a row. Hamp promptly slammed on brakes in the middle of an intersection.
-Hamp-“Let me try a bite of that Filet.”
Me-“But Hamp, I just thawed it out!”
Hamp-“I know, but it looks so good, I want to try it raw.”
He really seemed to enjoy it.
-” So, Power, when did you become the moral compass of this nation?”
–“Some people may call it a fishing lodge, I call it a trailer. HA!”
-Question: “Hamp, what are you gonna tell those trick or treaters, who come to your house and you have no candy and they say trick or treat?”
Hamp: “I choose trick!”
