"HAVE A SPAM CHRISTMAS"

"SPAM MATTERS"

Ah, in a brotherly and forgiving spirit, may we hope that

this will be THE YEAR when "Spam-bashing" becomes

history...and all the naysayers see the light!

Can't you just visualize that famous scene in AIRPLANE

in which the passengers were lined up in the aisle, awaiting

with hammers, hatchets, Stillson wrenches and whatall to

bash some sense into the pussilanimous-panicking-

passenger.

To knock sense into Spam-haters, I visualize a more-humane

treatment...like the old backhand back-and-forth, back-and-forth

facial slap...until you hear the famous movie line: 

"THANKS...I NEEDED THAT!"

SPAM deserves some reverence...some appreciation...some

RESPECT. After all, how could we have won WWII without 

it. Yes, we have discussed this before.

Time to tell APPLE to take a hike and dump their derogatory

iPad terminology "SPAM" for that junk column. Insulting! Got 

any ideas for them?

I'da never made it through that semester at Southwestern

Seminary one of the summers I studied there--- without 

Spam...for you see, money was short and I lived on Spam 

and home-fried potatoes...yum...yum. the whole time..

You are saying "Well, I've been there and done that

Spam and potatoes---NO GOOD!"  This is not new to

me---I've heard it before. Don't you get it? YOU FORGOT

THE KETCHUP!!! Plain and simple....It was: THE 

KETCHUP!

"Not to" interject a negative here, but you know the 

scariest thing I've ever seen in my life? It was Raley's

Supermarket, when they closed in circa 2012 (a mile

down the street from us.)

They had a "sell-out" sale, and the third week I dropped

by for old time's sake---one last time---and guess what.

THE SHELVES WERE EMPTY. (You don't want to see

it, trust me.) Oh, a few mops and brooms and dented 

tomato juice cans, and whatever.

When global warming melts Antarctica and Mexico goes

under water and the grocery shelves empty (or when

the dollar fails)  don't expect to walk into a store and

find four or five cases of Spam stacked nicely in the

vast empty shelves....and load up your basket...the 

guy ahead of you did...already... 

Yes sir, Spam will be the first thing to go, along with

tuna, Wolf's Chili, Hormel Tamales, and Sardines

a'floatin in tomato sauce...plus all the canned fruit...

Just say'in...

A friend of mine, who has traveled in Hawaii

a lot, tells me that over there they LOVE

SPAM---why he went to a luau in which they

had a 70 pound fake pig made out of SPAM!

I ask you, doesn't that sound...just marvelous?!

As to stockpiling, I try to avoid it...somewhat...

In WWII they called it "hoarding." But I do

have a coupla cases stored in my attic. If an

emergency arises, I could spare you a few 

cans, maybe...

As far as a hint for any Christmas present 

for ole Mil this year----well, I think you know

WHAT I LIKE!

May you too...HAVE A SPAM CHRISTMAS!
