I'd like to know the authenticity of the Marine character who was against the war and the recruiters, too. Call it subconscious, call it a vibe, whatever. There were a lot of things that just didn't seem right.
...and some serious square footage.
Worst comes to worst he can always get a job at the Enquirer.
a trap
Firm place to stand, lever long enough... ;')
My brother had one tour at the Randolph MPC Desk that contacted Officers for that duty around the countryside. He worked at night and had to wake each one up to provide all of the information for their somber visit the next day. He often had to order them to do the job with the statement that it would go in their OPR if they refused the detail.
What did I win????
You still should fry it first .... gak, out of the can ...
Only the most idiotic libs in the world would have ever really believed anything he had to offer. Its humorous that it has taken this long.
My wife love spam, she doesn't eat it out of the can ~ she removes it from the can, refrigerates it, slices it and eats it in a sandwich, like any other cold meat.
She opens a can once or twice a year.
I fry it to a golden brown which gives it a nutty flavor ~ not bad. ;)
No table could turn over on that greasy porker.
I take the stuff when I go camping .... it's great with eggs over a campfire .... I remember reading somewhere that that Spam was developed for the Russian army during WWII by a company here in the US ... Hormel??????
I agree, I've eaten it that way myself ~ we keep a few cans on hand for emergencies.
Name origin
Introduced on July 5, 1937, the name "Spam" was chosen in the 1930s when the product, whose original name was far less memorable (Hormel Spiced Ham), began to lose market share. The name was chosen from multiple entries in a naming contest. A Hormel official once stated that the original meaning of the name spam was "Shoulder of Pork and hAM". According to writer Marguerite Patten in Spam – The Cookbook, the name was suggested by Kenneth Daigneau, an actor and the brother of a Hormel vice president. The current official explanation is that the name is a syllabic abbreviation of "SPiced hAM", and that the originator was given a $100 prize for coming up with the name.[2]
Many jocular backronyms have been devised, such as "Something Posing As Meat"[3]
According to Hormel's trademark guidelines, Spam should be spelled with all capital letters and treated as an adjective, as in the phrase SPAM luncheon meat. As with many other trademarks, such as Xerox or Kleenex, people often refer to similar meat products as "spam". Regardless, in practice, "Spam" is generally spelled and used as a proper noun.
Spam is a canned precooked meat product made by the Hormel Foods Corporation. The labeled ingredients in the variety of Spam are chopped pork shoulder meat with ham meat added, salt, water, sugar, and sodium nitrite. It has gained a peculiar infamy, along with something of a place in pop culture, and has even entered into folklore and urban legend.
Other varieties of Spam include Low-Salt Spam,Spam and Garlic,Spam and cheese, Spam with bacon (Hormel bacon, Spam spread, Spam Lite (containing pork and chicken), and Spam Oven Roasted Turkey - the latter is a halaal food, meaning that it is allowed under Islamic law, and is especially popular in Muslim markets.
Spam is produced in (among other places) Austin, Minnesota, USA (also known as Spam Town USA). In 2002, the six billionth can of Spam was sold.[1]
Hey thanks for that bit of history ... it's always neat to learn something new ....
