Breaker breaker good buddy, got the blackwater thumping and the chokes in the tummy. We be breaking wind on these shaky sider's all the way to Alamo City, then up to the Mistake on the Lake by way of Hog Country. Snowshoe's on standby since big charlie's on a fox hunt and I don't need pink wallpaper.
This windjammers cuttin' the cable, 73's to the xyl, 8's to the seatcover, out.


I agree Jon, the front page articles are improving quite a bit. Some good talent.

Heh, I used to be into CB, back in 1979/80 when it was still illegal in UK.

Best song ever.

Thing's awesome. Do people still USE CB? I think it would be fun to have if people still used it at all.

[nevermind1534]

I think it's mainly truck drivers, and some hobbyists that use it now.

Whats the point of talking like that?

It's due to the nature of the radio frequency that CBs use. "OK" can sound like any number of things if the transmission gets garbled along the way, whereas a "10-4" doesn't sound like much else.

Trucker ten-codes share some similarities with police ten-codes as well.

Not legal in the UK? WTF?

DonT-FeaR: I too was raised by a family of truckers. My adopted mother still has a photo of her dad with his first truck. He was lighting the headlamps...

I was also taught to drive by my trucker uncles and grandfather. Every time I pass a car on the freeway and don't move back to the right, I still twitch from being smacked in the back of the head. I also have the habit of turning on my lights on every vehicle I drive even in broad daylight.

Not legal in the UK? WTF?

Yep, it was illegal at first, but thousands of illegal rigs were smuggled in and were fairly easy to get hold of, if you knew who to ask.
Then, due to the obvious demand, it was made legal but on different frequencies, and FM rather than AM. So the new rigs couldn't talk to the old ones.
