The New Official Spam Thread!

[Glamily]

I lost internet for a week! And phone so I couldn't do school.
My friends are ranting at me cause I like Justin Bieber's music as well as Miley Cyrus's but I still hang crap on them as people.. Its only their music I like, they have good voices.


*Admin note* Keep the four letter words to a minimum and if possible, find alternatives. We are still PG-13 friendly, last I knew. Yeah, the occasional hell and damn are allowed to fly, BUT... You know the rest of the speech so I don't need to go into it. Have a good one and don't let them get you down, it ain't worth it.

@Paden:

My mother-in-law's ringtone is Dueling Banjos... If you knew the woman, you'd understand it, but put it like this: She makes Jeff Foxworthy look like a dyed-n-the-wool Yankee...

  I told my Aussie friend, Shell, this and she didn't get it. But I LOVE it. I think it would work great in the Clean Jokes thread.

@Glamily:

Its only their music I like, they have good voices.

We often were without TV so I often heard music on my older brother's car radio. Some performers are just that, good performers, and some have talent. I remember the first time I heard "I Wanna Hold Your Hands", I told my brother, "That group will never make it." But I love a good performance and appealing appearance so once I Saw them I changed my opinion.

What is a SPAM anyway? 

[Theraven]

A type of canned meat.
There is also E-mail (or forum) spam, which this topic is dedicated to (as we want little spam elsewhere).

This one is really funny -->

Hahaha. I like to spammmmmm,

[Theraven]

I feel really stupid right now... I'd just downloaded a mmunch of DW related mods, and prepared to have some fun with them. Only thing was, NOTHING showed up! I looked through the catalog several times - still nothing. 

I was about to go panicking around when it hit me.

I'd not unrar'ed the files. *facepalm*

Everyone makes mistakes,  guess...

Did you know that "spam" spelled backwards is "maps"?

but what i want to know is what does it taste like?

[Theraven]

I'm pretty sure it tastes like some kind of meat, but as I've never even seen it in stores, I have no idea...

Yup, I'm very helpful today 

[caffeinated.joy]

It tastes pretty much like what it looks like: Dog Food.

thanks caaffeinated.joy,henrun to the bathroom to get sick

[Paden]

Actually, if you fry it hard enough and close your eyes, it's like a cross between ham and bacon. As for what it stands for, this is my best guess. Stuff Posing As Meat.

[fatedicewolf]

Nice, Paden I would have never thought of that one!

Not that anyone really shives a git, I found the following on WikiPedia:
 
Introduced on July 5, 1937, the name "Spam" was chosen when the product, whose original name was far less memorable (Hormel Spiced Ham), began to lose market share. The name was chosen from multiple entries in a naming contest. A Hormel official once stated that the original meaning of the name "Spam" was "Shoulder of Pork and Ham".[8] According to writer Marguerite Patten in Spam – The Cookbook, the name was suggested by Kenneth Daigneau, an actor and the brother of a Hormel vice president, who was given a $100 prize for creating the name.[9] At one time and persisting to this day in certain books, the theory behind the nomenclature of Spam was that the name was a portmanteau of "Spiced Meat and Ham".[10] According to the British documentary-reality show "1940s House", when Spam was offered by the United States to those affected by World War II in the UK, Spam stood for Specially Processed American Meats. Yesterday's Britain, a popular history published by Reader's Digest in 1998 [p. 140], unpacks Spam as "Supply Pressed American Meat" and describes it as an imported "wartime food" of the 1940s.


Paden's description is also mentioned in that article.

[Theraven]

It could also be a shortened version of SPiced hAM...
