Guest Krayt Tion Posted August 4, 2001 Posted August 4, 2001 Spam, most likely recieving its name from Spam the infamous canned meat-ish product. A product that no one liked to eat. It is a generic meat-ish mix, cheap and mass produced. Not unlike many messages from the same user on forums. Trite, boring, definitely too much of it, no one really cares to read it, it offers no good substance. Spam was a poor quality thing pumped out in great quantity, much like posts on messages boards and other places can be.
matt-- Posted August 4, 2001 Posted August 4, 2001 Here are two better questions: Why is Spam(the meat)called Spam? Is it a combination of Ham and...and...spork? Which brings me to: What is Spam made out of?
CaptainRAVE Posted August 5, 2001 Posted August 5, 2001 I remember having spam once i think on a school trip to save money because it was cheaper......it was DISGUSTING.
wardz Posted August 5, 2001 Posted August 5, 2001 Did anyone ever play leisure suit larry, and you had the dude on the ship going on about spork? oh, it was just me then... Damn it! p.s congrats to the Aussies who gave us a good hiding at the cricket. You and the Yanks are one of the only nations I like. enjoy it, we'll beat you next time!!! wardz
Letalis Posted August 5, 2001 Posted August 5, 2001 LMAO wardz. Beat us? That'll be the day... And suffer to all you Yanks out there, Aussies own the swimming pool!
