SPAMalot in Camelot!

"You must find a shrubbery!!!"

"I fahrt in your zhenerail die-rectshon!"

"'Tis only a flesh wound!"

"Perhaps it was an African swallow..."

"I'm not dead yet!"


Okay, I think I've gotten that out of my system. I saw Monty Python's SPAMalot over the weekend and it was everything I expected it to be. It had all the fabulous (quirky) quotes from the original MP & The Holy Grail plus some pretty funny additional scenes. I highly recommend it to any Monty Python fan.

Outside the theater, there was a bonus:










That's right... THE SPAMMOBILE!

They were actually handing out free samples of SPAM!

While we're on the topic of SPAM (which we are) here is a labeled diagram of a can of SPAM.


And, a list of the best uses for SPAM (other than eating it, of course):
  • Makes a good decoy for those annoying dogs that follow you around whenever you escape.
  • The oil from just one can can generate enough electricity to liposuck the fat from the asscheek of a Californian.
  • 10,000 sundried Spam blocks + a little drywall mud = a new brick veneer finish for the old double wide.
  • Stuff into underwear for instant Bridget Jones costume.
  • The high oil content makes it an excellent suntanning product that doubles as a tasty beach treat.
  • Handy sink stopper.
  • Can be carved into very attractive lawn sculptures.
  • Set two or three slices side by side: instant mouse pad!

I don't like Spam.

I do! I like green eggs and spam. But only in a box with a fox. Or in a house with a mouse.

Actually, we used to dine on fried spam sandwiches when I was little. Not TOO bad.

Also, if you butterfly the loaf, put maraschino cherries and peanut butter in the cracks, sprinkle on a little brown sugar and bake it at 350 for 30 minutes, it's pretty delicious. If you're, you know, a homeless guy or something.

Word ver: oaueoe ... which is often the noise people make after eating spam.

My Grandpa worked at Austin MN Hormel plant as a young man. Because of this - Spam and hot dogs are not allowed in his house - so growing up - we never ever had to eat Spam. (I actually feel quite lucky about that!)

Just testing to see if I still show up as anonymous.

I still don't like Spam. I prefer Armor Treet.
