Wonderful Spam!

 

1. Don’t know, OCM. But it just occurred to me that this might just be a really well-done commercial for Hormel.

   (Hormel makes Spam, for those of you in Rio Linda.)

2. mmm, curried Spam! Yum.

   Actually, the stuff isn’t so bad if you cut it in cubes and soak it for awhile in water or grape juice. Get some of the salt out and it’s just pork.

   These days Spam comes in about a dozen flavors. Meh. Stick with the original.

4. Spam?  Kewl - I hope the Taliban fighters enjoyed their load of processed pork. I’m one of those people who think it should be widely publicized that all of the coalition bullets are processed with pork fat for a lubricant. Sorry about that Mohamed, but that lard coated bullet up your ass just shut you out of heaven and those 72 virgins.

5. Uhh, Dr. Jeff,

   Didn’t such a rumor spark the first Indian Mutiny?

   The final spark was provided by the reaction of Company officers to the controversy over the ammunition for new Pattern 1853 Enfield Rifle. To load the new rifle, the sepoys had to bite the cartridge open. It was believed that the paper cartridges that were standard issue with the rifle were greased with lard (pork fat) which was regarded as unclean by Muslims, or tallow (beef fat), regarded as anathema to Hindus.

6. Yup and it’s also related to General Pershing’s shutdown of an Islamic insurgency in the Philippines.

   If I were fighting an Islamist, I would coat every bullet, grenade and bayonet in purest lard. I would strap a pound of bacon to the front of every Claymore mine and scatter shredded pork over every approach to my camp. Let them learn fear. Let them know that in fighting me, not only would their bodies be in peril, but their immortal souls as well. Live in peace or go to hell.

   Now you go too far. What a waste of perfectly good bacon! There are starving children in Obama’s Chicago slums that need bacon.

   Oh. Wait.

   They’re Muslim? Nevermind.
