Oops! I screwed up a trackback to the Daily Ablution. If you're from there, please see this post for developments in early Soviet underwear studies which wholly vindicate Milne's touching defense of dear old Comrade Stalin.

See, now if Carter and Reagan had concentrated on shutting down Spam production the Cold Ward could have been ended a decade earlier.
Speaking of Carter, he was up here last week to attend the commssioning of the USS Carter.
A lot of pointless work the ungrateful bastard caused me.
The famed "Killer Rabbit" didn't make an appearance.

SPAM was used as a B-ration - to be served in rotation with other meats... Spam is spam, it's not a meat. It's not even been fed anything! Furthermore "spam" sounds too obscene to appear on children's menus.
Good how that spam trivia page contextualizes spam's development with other historical events. Something to think about next time I eat processed meat: "what happened the year this was invented?".
I love this blog. I love it. If it didn't exist, my productivity would increase by 50%, british GDP would go up, the pound would rise further against the dollar, destabilising the transatlantic economy and causing a pan-european crash. thank god for bogol!

well, he may not have been a rastafarian as such, but he was the original Ras Tafari. it's a bit like asking whether kafka was kafkaesque. but only a little bit.
if i decided to make you my god, I would be a Bogolian. you wouldn't though. you would therefore have more intellectual freedom, not to mention more plain common sense.
The Church of Bogol. i wonder if there's any money in that idea.

bogol is right: haile selassie was a coptic christian. much to his confusion, jamaicans decided he was god incarnate based on evidence from a speech by marcus garvey. marcus garvey wasn't a rastafarian either. rastas are oddly unperturbed by all this.

I thought Selassie worked for the CIA? Rastas seem unpeturbed by most things. I was fed spam fritters with monotonous regularity at my secondary school. The menu had not changed in 40 years & had a distinct wartime austerity flavour. As did the textbooks - dunno what they tasted like, but I had a few that had my mother's name in 'em is how old they were. Ah, Maggie, how we miss you...

Spam fritters - that's spam fried in batter. Remember we're next door to the nation that eats deep-fried Mars Bars. Er, and across the ocean from a nation that likes deep-fried turkeys. I'll stop that train of thought now.
I had some onion rings the other night that were so very fried they were like eating deep-fried batter coated in batter and deep-fried. My arteries wheezed in pain as I ate.
Forgive me, arteries, they were delicious. So full of greasy juice.

Hemmings, a college roommate of mine used to refer to such delicacies as fried fried. Knowing him, he'd probably try a deep-fried Mars bar and maybe even one of those saveloy abominations the chippers in England sell. I like to think, though, that he'd draw the line at a batter sausage.

Ohh, and those chip-shop fishcakes. Like pieces of odorous, vinegary bath sponge. If it wasn't for those, and Spam, we'd probably still have an empire.

Nonsense! It was eating the natives' food that LOST us it you fool! A well-cooked spam fritter should form a small well of grease in the centre when depressed with a fork. Truly, they are awful. Deep-fried battered black pudding however, is another matter. With mushy peas & vinegar.

Rob, I realise with blinding clarity that you're right, and I shall be going through my cupboards later and throwing out anything along the lines of mulligatawny soup and chilli sauce. Mushy peas are a good source of the many important minerals to be derived from food colourings.
