Day 63 - He's a Bad Spamma Jamma!
It's Monday! Sorry for the delay this morning, Blogger and I are having technical difficulties.
That FIGURES, because it's MONDAY.
Rise and Shine, People! Look alive 'cause it's time to go to work!
Time to open your work email and see how many tens of thousands of Spam email messages came in while you were off for the weekend! Spam, spam, spam, and spam.
How many precious minutes of our lives are now spent deleting SPAM messages? What an aggravation. I've mentioned this before, but every time I open my email and ALL I have is SPAM, it gets annoying.
I get drug related spam, mortgage related spam, porno spam, and a lot of spam with unknown content.
In the good ol' days, SPAM used to be a food. Still is, except they now have SPAM, Spam Lite, and Turkey Spam.
I saw the end of a John Wayne movie just the other day. He and others (in military dress) were stranded in a blizzard somewhere. At the end of the movie, they were found by search planes. The planes air-dropped some emergency supplies to the survivors. John Wayne opened the supply bag, reached in, and pulled out a 5 lb. rectangular block of SPAM. He took one look and hurled it as far as he could out of sight. Guess he wasn't starving that badly.
Did I already tell you I was in a SPAM eating contest once? Bad idea. A local radio show held the contest. There were 4 of us contestants if I recall correctly.
Don't get me wrong, I like SPAM in small quantities, inside bread, or as a side dish.
The SPAM eating contest dumped an entire, room temperature can (complete with oozy gelatin) of SPAM on a plate. The contestants had to put their hands behind their backs and eat it with nothing but their teeth. Eeew.
I didn't win, and I don't mind that I didn't win. I still have the audio of the program on tape somewhere, by the way. A collectors item for sure.
By the way - for years after that, my nickname at work was 'Spamette'.
Have a nice day and Happy Monday! (I have my foot on the Bloggyman's head right now)
I'm hungry... do I have any SPAM in the pantry???

I grew up on spam and loved it. Imagine my first husbands' (Georgia boy) surprise when I served a spam loaf with brown sugar/mustard coating, cloves etc (recipe on the can) for dinner with scalloped potatoes--he loved it. My son also likes fried spam and eggs. I feel right at home in Hawaii where everyone eats spam.

I think I like spam, but don't think I'd buy it on purpose.:) Glad to see you're back up and blogging away. We all missed you this morning!
