Emergency (MC) Hammer

 Curl 1208913995 Jess Hemerly showed me this photo of a delightful alteration of an emergency hammer box. I asked her where she got the image and she just said, "the Internet."

Is this Emergency Hammer Box legit?

I tried it.
M.C. Hammer shows up. He's half drunk, hopped on on goofballs, and he wants to dance. Then his mood swings, and he's crying about how nobody wants his parachute pants. Then he's mad about rappers today are such posers. Geez.
Then he's hungry for caviar, but he can't find his wallet. I went to Albersons and got him cat food. Anyways, it took hours to get rid him, so if you see this emergency hammer box, ...don't.

@#3 Oh, it's legit alright. It's 2 legit 2 quit.

There is no real hammer in there, just a half-empty bottle of Chivas, a copy of "Timecop," and cassette tape with an endless loop of "King of Wishful Thinking."

I want one of these boxes but....... what the HELL is an emergency hammer? Is the green sticker part of this for real or is that part of the joke? (In which case this should be captioned "alteration of an emergency box" rather than "alteration of an emergency hammer box", if there is indeed no such thing as an emergency hammer box. Because I sure as hell have never heard of an emergency HAMMER. Is this one of those deals where you have to break into the box to get the emergency hammer to break the emergency glass on the emergency alarm?)

Ok, this better not turn into another internet meme like "Rick Ashley". I don't want to suffer the dread of being "Hammered" with each new email, document or web page.

Stop now, before it's too late!

Release the Hammer! Looks like Cash4Gold really turned out well for him.

Cory #12, emergency hammers can be found in trains and subways. In emergencies, you use the hammer (it has a point on one or both ends) to break the glass of the window, thus giving you an avenue of escape. Many people have them in their cars, or similar devices that can puncture the glass, which is then much easier to push out.

Also...makes it much easier to break INTO cars...

I think your friend was being cagey about acquiring the image because she had to use her secret time machine to go back to when Hammer was relevant or funny to get this pic.

U can't touch this
U can't touch this
U can't touch this
U can't touch this

My-my-my-my (U can't touch this) fire hits me so hard
Makes me say,"oh my lord thank you for blessing me
With a glee to flee and two hyped feet"
It feels good
When you know you're down
A superdope homeboy from the Oaktown
And I'm known as such
And this is a wall-uh!
U can't touch this

I told you homeboy
U can't touch this
Yeah, that's how we dyin' and you know
U can't touch this
Look in my eyes, man
U can't touch this
Yo, let me bust the wall down
U can't touch this

(imagine hammer in a fire suit)

Fresh new kicks and pants
You got it like that now you know you wanna dance
So move out of your seat
And get a fly girl and flee this heat
While it's rolling
Hold on
Bump a little bit and let 'em know it's going on
Like that
Like that
Cold on a mission so fall on back
Let 'em know that you're too much
And this is a heat
They can't touch

Yo! I told you
U can't touch this
Why you standing there, man?
U can't touch this
Yo, sound the bells, fire is in, sucker
U can't touch this
Give me a song or rhythm
Making 'em sweat
That's what I'm giving'em
Now they know
You talk about the Hammer, you're talking about a show
That's hyped and tight
Singers are sweating so pass them a wipe
Or a tape to learn
What it is going to take in the '90s
To burn the charts
Legit either work hard or you might as well quit

That's the word,because you know
U can't touch this
U can't touch this

Break it down

Stop. . . Hammer time

Go with the flow
It is said
That if you can't flee from this
Then you probably are dead
So wave your hands in the air
Bust a few moves, run your fingers through your hair
This is it for a winter
Dance to this an' you're gonna get thinner
Move slide your rump
Just for a minute, let's all do the bump
Bump bump bump

Yeah, U can't touch this
Look man, U can't touch this
You better get hyped
Boy 'cause you know ya can't
U can't touch this
Ring the bell, fire's back in
Break it down

Stop. Hammer time

U can't touch this
U can't touch this
U can't touch this
U can't touch this
Break it down

Stop. Hammer time

Every time you see me
The Hammer's just so hyped
I'm dope on the floor
And I'm magic on the flight
Now why would I ever
Stop doing this?
When others making records
That just don't hit
I've toured around the world
From London to the Bay
It's Hammer, go Hammer, M.C.Hammer, Yo Hammer
And the rest can go and pray
Can't touch this

U can't touch this
U can't touch this
U can't touch this
Yeah,U can't touch this
I told you, U can't touch this
Too hype, can't touch this
Yo, we outta here, can't touch this

if anyone feels like recording this i would love to hear it.

This just won't work. When a fire breaks out, "U can't touch this". "Uhoh uhoh uhoh uhoh, Can't touch this"

When I was 6 or 7, my elementary school didn't have summer school, but during the summer you could go to the school and check out balls for four-square, basketball, or other activities. A lot of kids were there.

A buddy and I were wandering around campus (not allowed). We came to a fire alarm, and I wondered about the glass cover- it must break pretty easy, huh? Yup! Sure does!
Alarms sound everywhere, so like a responsible citizen, I ran like hell! Dashing across the street I looked back at about 300 people chasing me!

My friends, there is nothing quite as exhillerating as being chased by several hundred people. I've never felt so alive.

lol, internet. Not only does the internet faclilitate the creation of memes starring fallen pop icons, but it also allows said pop icons to respond.

Hammer's home in Tracy, ground zero for the real estate bust, has probably fallen in value more than his mansion in Fremont did. He must be feeling pretty boxed in with a big mortgage. If only there was a way to release the Hammer from the box.

Take a look at this

@12 The image implies that you attempt to break the glass with your hand, possibly creating a second emergency.

@16 "When an attempt is made to break it, a tab will shear and by the use of a spring the glass is thrown clear."

Subject was treated for head wound caused by flying glass from hammer box.

Hey,
There is a fun talk at Stanford Grad School of Business on March 17th. MC Hammer and the manager of Death Cab for Cutie are going to be there among other distinguished panelists from Tapulous, Mozes…
