<p>I'm really irritated at Carnival's latest announcement that although the U.S. Navy delivered spam to the stranded passengers, no one was actually given any spam.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There is nothing wrong with spam.  I LOVE spam.  For many years I've had to deal with  "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policies when discreetly buying spam.  While enduring those disapproving looks of cashiers I've had to say it was for the dog.  And then I get a visit from the ASCPA shortly thereafter.  I buy spam once or twice a month, slice it and fry it in the skillet to go along with cheese and macaroni or mashed potatoes.  I've been waiting for the U.S. Courts to overturn discrimination against SPAM lovers for decades now.  And what happens when a federal court decides spam lovers should be allowed to practice their freedom of expression?  The Obama Administration goes to the U.S. Court of Appeals and Supreme Court to get "DADT" kept in place until the Congress decides whether or not spam lovers are second class citizens.    Now with the new Congressional make up who in their right mind thinks they are going to let spam lovers sit at the same table as Ruth Chris Steakhouse patrons?  <span><img alt="mad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/mad.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>If I had been on the splendor I would have grabbed a couple of dozen of those cans of spam to take home and save on my budget.  Do you realize a can of spam costs around $2.85 in the supermarket?!  Wonder if I can write the Captain of the U.S.S. Reagan to forward a case or two of spam my way.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hmmph!  In an informal poll of my spam loving friends, 80% of us voted for Obama in 2008.  Now, 80% of us are going to vote Republican in 2012 instead.    Wonder how Huckabee and Romney feel about spam.</p>

<p>I really do <img alt="love2.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/love2.gif"> <img alt="spam4.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/spam4.gif"> especially when part of a Hawaiian meal.  With egg on white rice and gravy.  Yum.  It's been years since I've had any.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am embarrassed to admit it, though.  </p>

<p>Although not a SPAM lover myself, I do have several friends who love SPAM.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In Canada SPAM is quite legal, but to be honest there is some prejudice against those who partake in it, and debate still rages in the religious community about whether the desire for SPAM is within the DNA or a chosen lifestyle food.</p>

<p>We had Spam alot (ha-Spamalot) when I was growing up.  Inexpensive.  Had it with fried eggs for dinner.  I always liked it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Haven't had it in years.  Maybe I'll try it again.</p>

<p>I remember having fried spam at home, but I never liked it...even as a child. I'm from Mississippi, and I suppose I ought to like it...but it has always reminded me of dog food.</p>
<p>Sorry to those who like it...I've never been a fan of mystery meat.</p>

<p>In 1995 I went to Spam Jamboree in Austin, Minnesota (home of Hormel).  It was amazing the number and variety of dishes people made out of spam.  You are not alone in your love of Spam.</p>

<p>Spam is pretty tasty stuff, especially when my dad put in his garlic fried rice - it was a great way to bring life to the older rice, and my dad usually added in assorted bits of goodness (bacon, chopped green onions, chunks of scrambled eggs, and of course garlic.)</p>

<p>I usually have Scapple once a year.  Usually on New Year's Day.  Because my b-i-l always makes it.  I can resist if it's in the store and not in the house, but, if it's on a plate in front of me, I gotta have some.</p>

Ah canned meat.  Like SPAM I have given up Klick, canned corned beef and Canned Ham.  I have also given up baloney.  Baloney is the only one I miss - we used to fry it up and eat it with molasses on top.   </p>
<br></div>

I used to run home from grade school because I couldn't wait to put baloney in the toaster oven...ketchup and bread....great stuff
