Title: Spam, spam and more spam
Post by: Scott Davis on May 09, 2001, 02:54:16 PM
I remember when I was little I loved spam. I totally hate it now. The whole idea is gross.

Anyways, what I really want to say is that i finally updated my site. I try to do it on tuesdays, but I work on tuesday, and thus I become extremely lazy.

The site has been open for a month tomorrow and we have over 65 reviews!

Tut tut, spamming another persons website. On the other hand I do write for your website so I'll let you off.

And it's zombie week

I'd hardly consider this spam of any kind.  Making a single post about your b-movie website updating is fine with me.

Considering the second weekend of June should see me in New Orleans for NOWFF, the subject of what canned food to donate came up.  I'm thinking that 10 lbs of Spam would (again) be fitting.

Man, those people are going to hate me.

In store I work at, we have 8 different kinds of spam. Well, only one brand is named SPAM but the rest have weird foreign names and include weird incredients that would boggle your mind!

Ever hear of a thing called "potted meat food product"?  I've bought it several times as a gag gift, but nobody has ever worked up the courage to actually consume the stuff, probably because one of the ingreedients is blatantly "chicken fat".

I think you mean "partially defatted chicken fatty tissue".  You know, they could make a sequel to THE STUFF about that stuff.

Title: Food I Fear!
Post by: Andrew on May 10, 2001, 02:14:39 AM
Forrest Walter's bad movie site was one of the first I ever encountered.  It's really more a part of the site than the specific focus, but he has a great section called Food I Fear that cracks me up.

Excerpt from Forrest's take on Vegemite:

"It triggered some sort of primitive defense mechanism in Mark...he took a whiff and immediately started batting the air, apparently trying to 'kill the bad thing' hovering in the air around him."

Go and check it out, he has a blurb about potted meat food product.

Yeah, that "Food I Fear" site is pretty funny, but I recommend this experiment.  Someday, when you have a lot of time, travel down to your local supermarket and traverse every isle.

Me and a friend of mine did this one night, and I was amazed at what I found.  Did you know they sell whole chickens in a can?  No?  How about bacon?  Okay, well no matter where you live, you can find pig's feet in a jar.  Don't believe me?  Go look.

What about MSG?  I thought that was something they banned in the seventies.  No, they just realized it was bad for you in the seventies.  It's still in almost every soft drink, under a different name.  Not enough for you, you say?  Not to worry, they'll sell it to you in a big seasoning jar marked MSG SEASONING.

I didn't know that anybody had a taste for sardines packed in tomato sauce, but there they are upon the shelf.

I find I watch b-movies for a little taste of alienation, but how can brain worms from outer space live up to the otherworldness of my own neighbours?  I mean, my God, who eats sardines packed in salsa, let alone craves them?

Forget salt and butter; popcorn tastes great with MSG on it!
Title: Marmite: The Stuff of Satan
Post by: Fritz on May 10, 2001, 06:00:47 AM
Forget Vegemite, Marmite (made of yeast, oo yummy) is one of the most evil thing i've ever tasted. The funny thing is, before he returned home train robber Ronnie Biggs said it was one of the things he'd missed about England.

Food I Fear...is a fearsome site. You could do a horror movie (Well, documentery) on the processing and preperation of the contents of that stuff. Eyecchhh! And to think this all started with a mention of Spam! BTW, there is a book about Spam, with the script fot the M. Python Spam sketch, included. An entire book! More about Spam then the human mind can Comfortably concive.......

I heard from friend that the canadians have a spam equivalent called "spork", can anyone verify this, or was he just yanking my chain?
Title: Re: Spam, spam and more spam
Post by: Scott Davis on May 10, 2001, 06:37:49 PM
Yes, we do have a product called spork.

And its just has gross.

I actually own a book containing over 100 haikus and senryus related to spam. it's a collection by John nagamichi Cho called "Spam-Ku: Tranquil Reflections on Luncheon Loaf".

Cheeks pink as primrose,
SPAM-sculpted.  Sweetly dimpling,
Pigmalion smiles.

My friend is kosher,
She doesn't understand my
Passionate love, tears.

I hear the SPAM ball
It bounces - porqua porqua.
A haiku of spring.

"SPAM" in French is "SPAMME".
Like SPAMME frites and SPAMME l'orange.
The French are so cool.
Title: Food I Fear (again)
Post by: Fritz on May 11, 2001, 07:00:57 AM
Forrest Walter's Food I Fears is very funny. One thing though, who scared of Pesto, it's a great way of getting out of cooking you just boil the pasta, drain pasta, then stur in pesto !!!

It's funny, this is the biggest topic i've seen and it's about food.

Deviled Ham - 3 different types!
Cooked Ham
Prem
Spam
Corned Beef - 2 different types
Klik
Kam

So 11 different kind.

Excuse me while I puke.

You know what is really bad? The fact that if something is in stores, that generaly means someone buys it. I have never ever seen someone willingfully eat spam that made more then 15,000 dollars a year.
