Bless (pointbeemo) | 18 comments Was message 1314 even a question?


message 1209: by Groovy (new)

Groovy Lee Isn't this the second time JOHN has broadcast his book on this game thread? Isn't he the same JOHN from message 1290? Shouldn't someone tell JOHN that he is bordering on spamming--on a game thread, no less?

Again--what's the name of this game????

Michael Gallas | 1226 comments Simple happiness is not posting the same post in the same thread more than once do you think?......


message 1219: by Groovy (new)

Groovy Lee How can John's book "Simple Happiness" helps if he only annoys? Doesn't his annoyance not make you want to view the book?

Do you think a Queen should lower herself to such a level as to click on a spammers obvious spamming?

Lenita says we should flag him. But I agree with Kaydee, "Off with his head!! And then we'll flag him." Who agrees with me? Michael??


message 1226: by Susan (new)

Susan I agree off with his head.........now?


message 1227: by Michael (last edited Feb 23, 2016 01:20PM) (new)

Michael Gallas | 1226 comments Doesn't everybody love spam?..Monty Python seems to think that....Right?...and a Queen can do whatever she likes....Smiley Face thingy.


message 1228: by Bless (new)

Bless (pointbeemo) | 18 comments What kind of person loves spam if he or she is not the spammer?


message 1229: by Michael (new)

Michael Gallas | 1226 comments Does this help?

The three and a half minute sketch is set in the fictional Green Midget Café in Bromley. An argument develops between the waitress, who recites a menu in which nearly every item contains Spam (among them, "Lobster Thermidor aux crevettes with a Mornay sauce, garnished with truffle pâté, brandy and a fried egg on top and Spam"), and Mrs Bun, who does not like Spam. She asks for an item with the Spam removed, much to the amazement of her Spam-loving husband. The waitress responds to this request with disgust.

At several points, a group of Vikings in the restaurant interrupts conversation by loudly singing "Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spammity Spam, Wonderful Spam." The irate waitress orders them to shut up, but they resume singing more loudly. A Hungarian tourist comes to the counter, trying to order by using a wholly inaccurate Hungarian/English phrasebook (a reference to a previous sketch). He is rapidly escorted away by a police constable.

The sketch abruptly cuts to a historian in a television studio talking about the Vikings. As he goes on, he inserts the word 'spam' into everything he says ("...and Spam selecting a Spam particular Spam item from the Spam menu, would Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam..."), and the backdrop is raised to reveal the restaurant set behind. The historian joins the Vikings, Mr. and Mrs. Bun are lifted by wires out of the scene, and the singing continues.

Bless (pointbeemo) | 18 comments Is it wrong to admift that I sort of enjoyed that?


message 1231: by Groovy (new)

Groovy Lee Should we tell Michael that he has a vivid imagination about Spam?
And should I mention I had Spam for dinner last night?:)


message 1232: by Michael (new)

Michael Gallas | 1226 comments You think that was my imagination???...no no no no no...It was borrowed from Monty Python. I dont even know what spam is...can you tell me?


message 1233: by Lenita (new)

Lenita Sheridan | 1010 comments Isn't Spam that processed meat that comes in a can and is yummy when fried?


message 1234: by Michael (new)

Michael Gallas | 1226 comments Do you take it out of the can before frying?


message 1235: by Lenita (new)

Lenita Sheridan | 1010 comments Do you like the taste of fried metal?


message 1236: by The Shed (new)

The Shed My friend Metal? You like my friend?


message 1237: by Susan (new)

Susan Ive never tried it. Is it really tasty? Should I buy some?


message 1238: by Groovy (last edited Feb 24, 2016 11:29AM) (new)

Groovy Lee I like Spam--at times. But would you dare to go out on a limb, go to the store and pick up a can, rip off the top, then let it slide onto a serving plate, then eat a slice? Would you?
