Cat's away, mice will play. We need our webmaster! Help!

By the way there is a Spam Museum. And we're talking about that meat-like substance in cans. The website is precious, and they have calendars you can get (I got one as a gag gift a couple of years ago). They have a Spam mobile and a Spam fan club. Turn up the sound, too:

Yeah, I heard that one too. I'd rather eat beans and tortillas any day, assuming I'm looking for ultra-cheap eats.

Where is Daddee? This Spam museum thing is just up his alley. In fact I'm surprised he hasn't treated us to it before.

Yeah.....

Last time I ate that stuff was in Hawaii, when I lived out on the land (meaning: off the grid)--over 20 years ago. Everyone in Hawaii eats Spam. Well, not everyone, but the locals do eat it. Anyway, you had to fry it pretty crispy and then drain off all the grease, have it with scrambled eggs or something to make it palatable. Blech.

Bacon-flavored Spam in breakfast burritos. Yum!

There's no accounting for taste, as the saying goes....

I've attended 'Spamboree' that last two years and competed in the cook-off (2nd place in '06) both years. Each year has about 50 cook-off entries with quite a bit of variety. It's a hoot.
