Spam, spam, spam

| December 2, 2013

Yeah, I’m complaining about spam again. Some of you are getting caught up in our spam filter, and I can’t help that. Well, I could if I wanted to troll through our spam comments – we had 933,000 spam comments last month and 81,000 in the last two days, so you see my dilemma. If you let me know in a timely manner that our spam filter ate your comment, I can dig it out, but please understand that none of you are being moderated without being told of it beforehand. if your comment gets eaten, it’s probably because of the Three Stooges Effect where you’re commenting the same time as we have a flood of spam comments and you get tossed along with the spam into the folder for that.

And, I’m also letting you know that TSO is currently working on that update I promised a few weeks ago. I’ve seen the first draft, so it’s coming, trust us.

Not that I’d want to give such a cretin this much credit, but does Mr. Nordic Blue Genes Wickre have anything to do with the spam onslaught? I mean, for all his ridiculous legal sputterings, you’d think he’d realize that that kind of attack is illegal. If he’d be involved, anyhow.

Jonn, thanks for all you and the staff do to keep TAH going! It is greatly appreciated.

PintoNag

Thanks for letting us know, Jonn. I feel sorry for you, that you’re having to deal with that kind of nonsense.

Just in case we get a whole tanker load of spam, it could probably be included in “The History of Dumb, Stump-sucking Donkey-Clowns I Have Known and What They Said To Get That Title”, if anyone wants to write it.

I thought TSO might want to, but he’s busy on something else, equally brilliant.

Spam and eggs with Spam……

Old Trooper

Jonn, that Nigerian Prince email, that I sent you, isn’t spam, it’s totally legit, dude.

Fried Spam sammich. Mayo, mustard, lettuce, swiss cheese slice, all stacked up on good ‘ol all American white bread, ice cold Dr Pepper (Dublin Dr Pepper, not that corn syrup crap) and it’s nom nom nom time.

A Proud Infidel

Meh, you haven’t had Spam until you’ve barbecued it on the grill!!

Spam Musubi. Slice and fry Spam, add 1/4 cup each of mirin, soy sauce and brown sugar, cook until it has a nice glaze on it. Sandwich between two layers of rice, wrap with nori (seaweed). Best golf snack ever.

Virtual Insanity

Spambalaya.

Yeah, I did that.

Ex-PH2

Guam hash is made with Spam.

And I certainly wasn’t expecting a Spanish Inquisition!

MCPO NYC USN (Ret.)

Special Processed Army Meat (SPAM) invented by Hormel.

A wonderful mess of unidentified meats that is guaranteed to deliver a heavy dose of carbs, fat, protein and sodium. During WWII it was also injected with vitamins for the children who were forced to eat the canned wonderfood.

My dad lived on SPAM in Korea and loved a fried SPAM sandwich on occasion.

The people of Hawaii eat it for all three meals and many nations have been kept alive by consuming it.

So if you are complaining about SPAM you are unAmerican.

Ex-PH2

Hormel will be issuing a new version of SPAM: teriyaki SPAM.

Also, SPAM consists of six simple ingredients: pork with ham, salt, water, modified potato starch, sugar and sodium nitrite.

Eat hearty. Fried SPAM sandiwches with pickles and mustard. SPAM wontons. SPAMrolls. SPAMaroni and cheese.

A Proud Infidel

Teriyaki? Hmmm, do they have Cajun or jalapeño?

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition (and sit in the comfy chair).

Ex-PH2

@16 – Not yet. But you can add those seasonings to it.

@17 – 🙂 🙂 🙂

I had a platoon sergeant that used to cook spam with rice and various cans of c rations on hand …. seasoned with Kim chi or various types of hot sauce. It was different and killed all parasites on contact.

Ex-PH2

YOu wanna talk about SPAM? Okay, I have been busy with literary efforts, but lurking while working.

I have been getting telemarketing phone calls for ‘senior insurance’ since Nov. 1. I either don’t answer or I hit the ‘end’ button.

This afternoon, I was in the middle of a really great, emotionally-satisfying piece of prose. It will require little to no editing, once I’m done.

I was just about to get into the part about sex and the phone in my pocket rang.

I lost my concentration, and had to come here, to the refuge of TAH, to regain it.

Being an Army brat, I grew up eating lots of SPAM, and considered it a real treat, for Mama didn’t serve it every day.

Mama would roast it whole in the oven, or fry it sliced on the stove.

She usually served it with a side dish of spaghetti and cheese, made using Velveeta cheese.

I loved eating SPAM sandwiches.

At the time, being a typical kid, I didn’t realize or appreciate what a good life I had as an Army brat.

A Proud Infidel

I remember cutting it into cubes and adding it to mac & cheese when I was in college, I’d also blacken it in a skillet with some eggs for breakfast.

CI Roller Dude

But I don’t like Spam…

NHSparky

Spam and eggs for breakfast. The kids think I’m insane.

B Woodman

Ex-PH2,
Shouldn’t that be the SPAMish Inquisition?

And I do enjoy a good fried SPAM sandwich on occasion. Just need something with it to cut the salt (or at least not add any more salt).

Old Tanker

I love Spam…..except the kind I got this weekend from a post I put up months ago. I must have gotten 25 spam comments in a matter of minutes on that one. (My “Stolen Valor has Gone to the Dogs” post)

War Protester as in the group that sang "Why can't we be friends?" not because I don't like them but everyone else here at TAH took all the good wars to protest (Eggs).

Well there’s spam eggs sausage and spam, that’s not got much spam in it.

Eggs

oops, left that protest thing in there.

Thunderstixx

I didn’t know that TAH was opening up a cooking page !!!

I like it!!!

A Proud Infidel

A grilled spam & cheese sandwich,…

Hey Eggs, you should see the number of posts I’ve done after forgetting to remove the “Crimean War Protestor” prefix!

For anyone who is interested, the entire run of ‘The Mod Squad’ is now available on DVD.

Why has no one satirized 70s TV shows yet?

NHSparky

Because they were parodies of themselves.

And, I’m also letting you know that TSO is currently working on that update I promised a few weeks ago. I’ve seen the first draft, so it’s coming, trust us.

So Phildo is going to Spam Psul’s #2 hole with this little package of un-edible meat product?

I can’t wait. Maybe I should go to Parklawn and pop open a few tins and leave a few lumps of Spam and raw egg on Psul’s Mother’s grave…as, you know, a tribute.

(I bet the deer would eat it RIGHT up)

Ex-PH2

Not the deer, ChipNASA. Feral cats.

ChipNASA

Those too. I used to live down the road in some apartments that backed up to Rock Creek in Twinbrook and we used to see *lots* of little groups of “outdoor” kitties…..I’d like to go pet them and get close to them and then they’d bolt to the woods or sewers…that’s when I realized there was a *huge* population of feral cats in the area.
They’d walk around in little groups like the Sharks vs. the Jets in West Side Story. It was comical.

A Proud Infidel

@ChipNASA, that sounds like a waste of some perfectly good spam, I suggest leaving some generic stuff there, the cheap stuff in honor of whatshisface!

ChipNASA

@36 A Proud Infidel

How about I eat a can or two of Spam and then process it in to a coiled decorative holiday sculpture just for Psul’s Mommy??

/Oh and do it when it’s really cold so it freezes.
