kelel01 1 #2 August 3, 2004 Probably . . . nobody wants either. Unless you're in Hawaii- they eat a lot of that canned stuff. Kelly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrewEckhardt 0 #3 August 3, 2004 QuoteIs there any x-reference between SPAM the processed meat and SPAM the junk email? Yes. It comes from a Monty Python sketch set in a restaurant where nearly all the dishes contain spam and the Vikings sing things like QuoteSpam spam spam spam. Lovely spam! Wonderful spam! Spam spa-a-a-a-a-am spam spa-a-a-a-a-am spam. Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam!

speedy 0 #4 August 4, 2004 The sketch..... Scene: A cafe. One table is occupied by a group of Vikings wearing horned helmets. Whenever the word "spam" is repeated, they begin singing and/or chanting. A man and his wife enter. The man is played by Eric Idle, the wife is played by Graham Chapman (in drag), and the waitress is played by Terry Jones, also in drag. Man: You sit here, dear. Wife: All right. Man: Morning! Waitress: Morning! Man: Well, what've you got? Waitress: Well, there's egg and bacon; egg sausage and bacon; egg and spam; egg bacon and spam; egg bacon sausage and spam; spam bacon sausage and spam; spam egg spam spam bacon and spam; spam sausage spam spam bacon spam tomato and spam; Vikings: Spam spam spam spam... Waitress: ...spam spam spam egg and spam; spam spam spam spam spam spam baked beans spam spam spam... Vikings: Spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Waitress: ...or Lobster Thermidor a Crevette with a mornay sauce served in a Provencale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle pate, brandy and with a fried egg on top and spam. Wife: Have you got anything without spam? Waitress: Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it. Wife: I don't want ANY spam! Man: Why can't she have egg bacon spam and sausage? Wife: THAT'S got spam in it! Man: Hasn't got as much spam in it as spam egg sausage and spam, has it? Vikings: Spam spam spam spam... (Crescendo through next few lines...) Wife: Could you do the egg bacon spam and sausage without the spam then? Waitress: Urgghh! Wife: What do you mean 'Urgghh'? I don't like spam! Vikings: Lovely spam! Wonderful spam! Waitress: Shut up! Vikings: Lovely spam! Wonderful spam! Waitress: Shut up! (Vikings stop) Bloody Vikings! You can't have egg bacon spam and sausage without the spam. Wife: I don't like spam! Man: Sshh, dear, don't cause a fuss. I'll have your spam. I love it. I'm having spam spam spam spam spam spam spam beaked beans spam spam spam and spam! Vikings: Spam spam spam spam. Lovely spam! Wonderful spam! Waitress: Shut up!! Baked beans are off. Man: Well could I have her spam instead of the baked beans then? Waitress: You mean spam spam spam spam spam spam... (but it is too late and the Vikings drown her words) Vikings: (Singing elaborately...) Spam spam spam spam. Lovely spam! Wonderful spam! Spam spa-a-a-a-a-am spam spa-a-a-a-a-am spam. Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Spam spam spam spam! Dave Fallschirmsport Marl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peacefuljeffrey 0 #5 August 4, 2004 QuoteProbably . . . nobody wants either. Unless you're in Hawaii- they eat a lot of that canned stuff. Kelly That's not true! I've been waiting for years for someone to approach me about remedying my inadequate penis size! No, really, I love Spam the meat. I was in Walmart late one night (as is my habit), and saw the shelf with Spam. I thought, "This stuff has been around for ages; it's like an American icon; there has to be something to it; have I really lived until I've at least checked it out? So I did. When I got home,when I opened the can, the stuff was cold and moist and looked pretty gross, and I have no trouble telling you that I would not have eaten a single slice of it. BUT... FRY IT UP IN A SKILLET with some Pam (heh heh, Spam -n- Pam) until it's crispy, and you have yourself one tasty substitute for hard-to-manage, greasy-splattery bacon! I fry up thin slices of it unti they're crisp, then make a 3 egg omelet, and put diced tomato, diced green pepper, American/Cheddar cheeses, and the fried Spam, and it is OUT OF THIS WORLD DELICIOUS!! I think you all should try it. Don't count Spam out until you've done what I describe. You'll become an addict, I swear. --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...
