Bloody vikings. A Mash I made about the many mixed feelings on Spam. Personally, I've not ever consumed Spam. But I hear from my mother that it's gross. And that's enough to convince me to not eat it. Ever. Enjoy.

I had it once

Very salty.
It's as if they couldn't find any good meat so they simply drenched it in salt.

Here comes some more

pythonline edumacation!

Firstly, Spam is awful, but then again it is preserved meat, and if you don't open the tin, it will outlast civilisation itself (bit like cockroaches really). Still, if you are starving to death, it makes a good alternative. Notably, in the middle ages, this is what they did to all their meat, soaked it in salt, firstly to preserve it and secondly to disguise the fact that it was well past its sell-by date, this is also why spices were soooo expensive, but enough on medieval history (is there such a thing as enough history?)

Secondly, why do we call spam spam? (and by spam I mean the kind that goes in your junk mail folder)

As you may have guessed, it DOES have something to do with the canned meat. The thing is, bang in the middle of the second world war (and some of you may remember this :P), rationing was put in place in an attempt to preserve the food supply. The one thing you didn't need a ration card for was spam, because they had soo much of it and it never went off provided it wasn't opened. At the end of the war, they STILL had loads of it (presumably people were happier going hungry than eating spam) so they went off a buried it in bunkers all over the world, the exact locations of which only generals were/are made aware. This was in an attempt to prevent losses due to supply lines being cut off. None of it has yet been dug up.

Thus anything that comes in huge quantities and is largely unwanted is branded "spam"

See what you learn here? Better than any school!

Excellent mash by the way...soon enough you'll be putting the veterans to shame!

Well thank you for that very edumacational quip on spam

I'm willing to bet that if someone dug up those ancient cans of spam, they'd still be considered edible. Like twinkies.

I think I'd rather go hungry rather than eat that vile, revolting meat.

I dare you to open it. And then post the picture on PythOnline. And then make it talk in the mashcaster.

Oh I would

But I love my little spammy!
*hugs possibly rotten spam can*
Not to mention my mother wouldn't be happy with me filling the camera with pictures of rotten meat. Also it's the only meat I own (not counting the family's meat that the rest of them [not me anymore] eat) since I'm now a fishy eating veggie.

spam spam

Maybe when you go off to lemming college where all of the little lemming's are drinking vast quantities of lemming ale you will be so intoxicated that you'll open the vile, and old can of rotten, decomposing spam and eat it. Between two old crusty pancakes. With ketchup. The End.

Well

I do like ketchup.....
but I never could picture myself a drinker
maybe I'll be tricked into doing it. I'm always told I'm gullible.

I think

a drunk Lemming may be one of the signs of the apocalypse.

American beer looks like Apple Juice? Light weights....

yeah I'm not someone you could see drunk

I'm crazy enough without the stuff....
and if I did get drunk I'd probably be the one causing the apocalypse with my mass craziness and obstreperousness.

Oh I have that written down on a piece of paper titled "Random quotes by Eric" that I wrote when someone was practicing their 10 minute long scene in theatre class.
"In a perfect world T.S. Eliot would spell toilets backwards"
"I know Victoria's secret; she's a slut."
I'm thinking about making ones for the other pythons as well
