A Public-Service Clarification
“Dear BRK, can you explain the meaning of the term “bam-bam”? I understand “bling-bling” to be vernacular for shiny and/or expensive jewelry, but the term “bam-bam” eludes me. UrbanDictionary yields the definition “Another word for a fat blunt to smoke weed”, but I find it hard to believe that your wife requires you to buy illegal drugs for her. Please clarify, Sherp.”
From the movie Talladega Nights, bam-bam was indeed a colloquial term for cocaine, you’re correct. However, Mrs BRK has adapted it to mean, “Anything I particularly want at any particular moment.” This can be cash or material goods, or just a general “Appease Me!” feeling.
Mrs BRK sees some dark chocolate covered raisins? “BRK, buy those; I need some Bam-Bam!”
Mrs BRK wants a new truck? “BRK, you’d better get a good bonus this year. I need the Bam-Bam for my new Hummer H2!”
Comprehension and consistency are not as important as Mrs BRK getting to say “Bam-Bam”.
And you know, we may have to publish a BRK-Urban Dictionary.
And have no fear, denizens of central Florida, Mrs BRK will never have a Hummer H2. We once owned a Dodge Ram 1500 Rumblebee with the big V8 Hemi. In the driver’s seat, her eyes would glaze over and her spittle would coat the inside of the windshield. She would raise the seat as high as it would go so her 5′3″ frame could see over the steering wheel, race the engine to redline, scare the beejezus out of soccer-moms, and cause their minivans to high-tail-it out of the fast-lane.
No joke. We sold that thing PDQ.

cocaine, not marijuna in talladega nights.
One more reason to add to my already long list of why not to get married.
I’m a LONG time Gran Turismo fan, I just wanted you to know that the Dodge Ram is also known as “the Chuck Norris car”
Mrs Brk is starting to sound more and more like TJ…
@gyldenfeax
if you don’t want to deal with demands for “bling-bling” and “bam-bam”, then don’t find one that looks like Mrs Brk
SHe became all crazy behind the wheel of a big dodge ram and you were thinking of geting a BMW at least in the ram she would have been safe.
@BRK
Just be thankful that your wife knows what she wants. Most women just bitch about you _Not_ getting them bam-bam while _Not_ telling you what it is they want.
You are the lucky one.

I’m so glad somebody else asked this question.
hey, a girl’s got to have her vroom-vroom to go with her bling-bling & her bam-bam.
Mustang GT Convertible FTW!

Haha! The rumblebees were AWESOME. I had a Dakota with the 4.7 V8, which we promptly put a throttle body spacer, flowmasters and nos (set to auto-engage when the gas pedal hit the floor) on. After I picked up the truck from the shop the day they put the nos in, I busted the driver’s set. How? I was at a red light next to a little kid in a ricer (I believe it was a Nissan) and stomped the gas at green. Tore the driver’s seat right out of it’s brackets, and the next thing I knew I was driving from the back seat.
On the bright side, I beat the kid to the next light, and it gave me an excuse to replace the seats with the leather with suade inserts. Downtown Anchorage and the egos of kids with moded japanese cars were never safe again. I cackled.
Maybe Mrs BRK would be happier with a Hemi Cuda convertable, a la Nash Bridges?
My wife is 5′3″ and loves her Prius. I’m just sayin’…
