And Spam was born!

The email, not the processed meat.

 

[Whatever]

My mom loves the meat. I love teasing her about it. Actually I only ate it once on a camping trip 8 years ago, but some things you don't forget.

Spam, spam, spam, spam-
Spammity-spam
O wonderful spam!

Actually, I don't like spam, so I'll be passing on the spam, spam, eggs, spam spam, sausage and spam...but happy spamiversary!

I haven't liked spam the meat as much as I've gotten older. I've never liked spam mail.

Anybody hear about the big SPAM festival up north somewhere? They serve foods like SPAM pies and puddings. Blech!
