Watch It, Pal

What's the Spam Can doing to Stuart? And why is the Tobester so amused? It's all innocent, of course. Because this is the Spam Museum in Austin, Minnesota, home of the Hormel Foods Company.

The Spam Museum is a must-see. From your first spample of Spam to your last dollar spent on Spam merchandise, this place is another example of what America is all about.

Lies and deceit. Because Spam is not ham. Heck, Spam is barely even a food. Yet we love it. Oh, how we love it so! And the people who work there? They are such Spam devotees (and company people to boot) they resist any attempt to wink or nod at the joke that is Spam. Go to England and try to get one of those guards in the silly fuzzy hats outside Buckingham Palace to smile or crack up. They don't. Neither do the employees of the Spam Museum admit that, hey, maybe Spam is kinda silly. And a whole museum dedicated to it? Sillier.

Oh well. Go when you get a chance. For now, go eat your Spamburger and leave me alone.
