After talking to Rockbill regarding some comments that he made to the blog that were never posted I found out that they had been automatically “quarantined” in a blog SPAM file. My apologies, Rockbill. Even though you think it’s OK to boo the President at a baseball game, I still never intended that your comments be spammed out. Lucky for everyone though that it got me to thinking about the word “SPAM”.
In culinary terms, SPAM is a delicacy manufactured by Hormel Foods containing ham, pork, sugar, salt, water, a little potato starch, and a mere hint of sodium nitrite in a vacuum packed can that does not require refrigeration and will basically last forever. Originally called Hormel Spiced Ham, the product manufactured since 1926, had a name change in 1937 after a friend of the Hormel family came up with SPAM at a New Year’s Eve party. There was no alcohol involved there, huh? During World War II, sales boomed as not only was SPAM great for the military, as it required no refrigeration, it wasn’t rationed as beef was, so it became a prime staple in American meals. Nikita Kruschev credits SPAM with the survival of the Russian Army during WWII (there’s an inside Bizzle Bros. joke with Nagafooki, regarding Russian vomit, but I will not dwell on that here.)
So why is such a high-quality, salty ham and pork product (ham is pork, isn’t it?) with a prestigious name like SPAM with such a storied history (6 billion cans sold) associated with such a negative activity on the internet? We all know that SPAM means unwanted, un-solicited e-mail, blog comments, etc.
I may be the last person in the world to know this but the use of the term ‘SPAM’ was adopted as a result of the Monty Python skit where a restaurant serves all its food with lots of SPAM, and the waitress repeats the word several times in describing how much SPAM is in the items. When she does this, a group of Vikings in the corner start a song: “Spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, lovely spam! Wonderful spam!” in an increasing crescendo, drowning out other conversation. Hence, the analogy that unsolicited email was drowning out normal business on the Internet.

Thanks for taking my complaint seriously, Barry. My two postings about Evel Knievel did finally appear. I am writing to ask about your Nagafooki comment. How is it that you now have inside jokes with Nagafooki? How does one get to have inside jokes with the Blogmaster? How many are in the inner circle? My comments get quarantined, but Nagafooki has a direct and personal pipeline to Barry on Buffalo? Please explain.

While researching Little Debbie nagafooki re-discovered some facts about Twin Peaks and the death of Laura Palmer. BOB was ultimately responsible for her death. I wondered whether BOB and Barry On Buffalo were the one in the same. In an earlier post I stated the following:
“Check this little tidbit out:
BOB (Barry on Buffalo) is a disembodied spirit
capable of taking over a human being. After he takes over,
he manipulates his human host to commit acts of sex and
violence and ‘feeds’ upon the emotions this produces.
Something strange is going in nagafooki’s inner circle of friends and I think Barry On Buffalo may have something to do with it.”
Be careful what you wish for rockbill
nagafooki said
ok rockbill you found me out. I can’t keep this inside anymore.
I will tell you what I went through to get access to what Barry On Buffalo calls “the trust”
The first thing to know is not to bother asking to be in “the trust” You will be contacted when you are ready.
The next steps are a lot like the first three SAW movies followed by EYES WIDE SHUT.
Finally, the members of “the trust” will cleanse you by giving you what they call ‘a shower of gold.’
I was blindfolded but I am pretty sure they just went peepee on me.
By the way check out my link to The Konformist’s interpretation of EYES WIDE SHUT. It is one of the greatest movies ever made but many are confused. If you were confused read the article and then watch it again. Once you click on the link you will wind up on an FBI watch list but at least you will be one step closer to “the trust”

In my search for truth, justice and info about SPAM and Just when I thought I was letting go of my hatred for Heather I found this site:
http://deceiver.com/index.php?s=heather+mills
Celebrities are all phonies.
I promise you Barry that I will soon say something about SPAM but I got distracted by Deceiver.com and the truth.
You know the line “You can’t handle the truth!” Well it is acurate. Most people don’t want to know the truth since it is too hard to deal with. They would rather believe that everything is poop and giggles.
The Truth about SPAM is coming.
I will find it and post it here.

Rockbill,
You truly are part of the inner circle and may even be up for a Bloggy award in about 40 years. I’ll admit, however, that I am afraid, deeply afraid, as we all should be, of Nagafooki, therefore, he gets some special liberties.
rockbill said
OK, I withdraw my request for being an insider, and I (and the world) can only hope that your Nagafooki-management skills continue to contain whatever threat Nagafooki poses.
Here is another question I have been pondering since the SPAM blog appeared: how many sets of famous brothers are there throughout recorded history? By this I mean those that are formally known as Brothers, such as the mysterious Bizzle Brothers. I came up with only six while waiting at the bus stop this a.m.
Doobie Brothers
Ringling Brothers
Smith Brothers
Blues Brothers (and the spin off Bruise Brothers)
Brothers Karamazov
Brothers Grimm
Sisters’ nominations also welcome.

Maryt4905, I suggest that you write a “bloguest” on the following subject:
“Virgil and Morgan, the Unknown Earps”
PS: If talent of all “bros” is not required, how about the Baldwin Brothers.

nagafooki said
The three sisters are corn, beans and squash. In cultivated space, companion planting, as it has become to be known, is an ancient technique. The Native Americans practiced it by planting corn, beans and squash together in mounds of earth. The corn grew straight and provided a perch for the beans to grow while the squash trailed down over the mound crowding out the weeds.
They also placed fish on the mound as an offering. Science has validated how and why this specific type of companion planting is so effective.
Oh yeah, pleeeeeease don’t write a blog about Wyatt Earps unknown brothers. As I have told the Bizzle Brothers on their blog, “I want more pictures of food to comment on”
I can also go on forever about those darn three sisters too.

Doodlebob was in Frankendoodle.
It is a stretch to say Doodlebob is SB’s is an evil twin because he isn’t a real twin. Although real twins are evil and they are freaks but that is another story.
Spongebob created evil doodlebob with a magic pencil.
He was “doodled”
Check out the link. Very very funny
