Great pics!

I never knew they had Flavors Of Spam!??

Neither did I. I thought Spam came in only one flavor: slimy :)

[silent_jonny]

For some reason the “Lite” Spam cracks me up!

LOL! It's an oxymoron, like "safe" bullets :)

[retrokitten]

"This metrosexual is getting done up, baby!"

LMAO!!! Yes! I can't believe I never watched that show before this season. It is so funny!

I’m reading about the slit experiment now.

How in tarnation does the photon know it's being watched and act the opposite way? Kind of mindboggling when you think about it?

Do you realize the distance between the nucleus of an atom and the electron is an enourmous distance. An atom is mostly empty space.

Get small. Climb inside a vaccum cleaner...;-)

I’ll probably be here on Hell’s Kitchen night. We can all just jump on here unless someone starts a Hell’s Kitchen thread.

Feel free to use this thread if you want to :)

Is that okay with you, Matt?

YES, CHEF!

:)

Has anyone actually had Spam? It seems like something you would eat on a dare.

Yes! My grandma thought Spam was it's own food group :)

She would cut the Spam in slices, cover each side with flour and fry them in a skillet. Very good. Deadly, but very good :)

I was reading about it on Wikipedia and this is the part that really blew me away...

For example, when electrons are fired at the target screen in bursts, it is easy to account for the interference pattern that results by assuming that electrons that travel in pairs are interfering with each other because they arrive at the screen at the same time, but when laboratory apparatus was developed that could reliably fire single electrons at the screen, the emergence of an interference pattern suggested that each electron was interfering with itself; and, therefore, in some sense the electron had to be going through both slits. For something that most people continue to imagine to be an unimaginably small particle to be able to interfere with itself would suggest that this "sub-atomic particle" was in two places at once, but that idea is strongly at odds with the truism, "You cannot be in two places at the same time."

OMG! Now that you said that, I remember my mom saying her mom did the exact same thing!!! They didn’t have much money growing up and at the end of the month it was Spam and potatoes.

[silent_jonny]

Spam and potatoes.

Wow--I'm having a flashback, LOL! My grandma made the same thing. She would fry the Spam, then fry the potatoes in the Spam grease. Nothing was wasted :)

She made her own biscuits too--rolled the dough and everything. On Spam days, she would make Spam biscuits--MAN! Those were good :)

[sirchtruth]

YES, CHEF!

LOL! And he's so stoic everytime he utters that phrase. Ramsey's screaming his bloody head off with veins a poppin' and Matt just stands there looking like he's just been caddle proded and all he can say is, Yes, Chef! LOL!

I don't know how you made the original connection between Matt and Sam, but it should win the award for "Separated at Birth?" fer sure!

Homemade Spam biscuits.....

I don't know if there is anything better in this world then a grandma's baking.

It's a medley of George Michael tunes ... which means George Michael himself can't be far behind. Heaven help us.

Yep. He swishes his way onto the stage to sing a new song, wearing womens sunglasses.

The Gaydar is gonna BLOW, Cap'n!

What is this bullsh*t song he's singing? The lyrics sound like they promoting socialism.

"Praying for Time" off his 1990 album "Listen Without Prejudice, Volume 1." That song is slow enough, and sounded horrible last night (he said he had a cold, and sounded like it).

[retrokitten]

Were any of you Mystery Science Theater 3000 fans? They have a new version called, "Cinematic Titanic." Same cast, but no more robots. I haven't downloaded the movie yet, but the trailer looks very funny.

Cinematic Titanic presents "The Oozing Skull."

[silent_jonny]

I’ts been years since I've had Spam. Now I want Spam, Spam biscuits and Spam-fried potatoes! :-P

[retrokitten]

Well, it sounds like your weekend plans are all set. LOL

SPAM BBQ AT SJ’S HOUSE!!!!

[silent_jonny]

"Praying for Time" off his 1990 album "Listen Without Prejudice, Volume 1."

So it wasn't even a new song? Why was he even there?

[silent_jonny]

I just saw a commercial for Hell’s Kitchen. Ramsay was jumping all over Matt because he was sweating into the pasta—LMAO! There was a close up of him—the sweat was dripping off his nose like a runny faucet. Ramsay kicked a trashcan :)

[retrokitten]

I'm a very sweaty man, Chef.
