It is said that “Spam” is short for “spiced ham.”

This photo also includes spiced rum.

The photographer is having Spam and Spum.

Sounds like an obscure roman dish

[-] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 5 points 2 months ago

nah, Austrian.

[-] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 2 points 2 months ago

naw, that's doormice

[-] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 13 points 2 months ago

Spum

so that's the first reason !

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 months ago

Common misconception. Spam is actually short for "is this SuPposed to be hAM?"

Ren and Stimpy makes me so uncomfortable after learning that John K. was a groomer pedo. Made all that much worse by him hiring his victim ("intern"), and recording BtS commentary while seated next to her. I was so disgusted by how many times I watched the cartoons and interviews, only to realize in retrospect that what looked like a young animator who was shy while speaking camera was actually a victim being pressured into praising her abuser in front of an audience.

...oh. i had heard he was "controversial" but uh not to that extent.

The Soviets during WWII called Spam "second front" because they were a little tetchy about having to fight Hitler mostly by themselves for most of their part of the war.

[-] UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 9 points 2 months ago

Guess they shouldn't have made an alliance with Hitler.

[-] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

So what is Rum made from corn called?

This person packed captain Morgan’s to drink neat, and spam.

I do not want to go camping with this gastronomist.

[-] prettybunnys@piefed.social 11 points 2 months ago

You don’t know … it could be rum and coke in that spam glass 💀

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I'd rather be camping with this guy than the guy who brings everything and makes biscuits and gravy for breakfast.

Why not just drink straight from the bottle like any other Captain Morgan connaiseur?

[-] Sculptor9157@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 months ago

It's Rum Spam.

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Can't make a post about that

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

I thought the first worst reason for carving a hole in Spam was to make a weed pipe, but then I realized what OP probably actually meant.

[-] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 months ago

I read this in Horatio McCallister's voice

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I wonder if he is canonically related to Kevin McCallister......

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I 100% guarantee that some stoner has smoked out of a block of spam. I have no idea who that person would be, but I promise that they exist and have done it.

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I've used potatoes and apples personally. Never used Spam because it never occurred to me to do so.

not an expert on rum, but isn't captain morgan some bottom shelf shit?

[-] GrabtharsHammer@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

The higher the rank of the sailor on the bottle, the worse the rum.

[-] U7826391786239@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 months ago

kraken eats them all

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 months ago

Yeah, General Reginald Longbottom's Genuine Navy Rum is FOUL!

Recruit Rum on the other hand..

[-] prole 3 points 2 months ago

You know it's bad because Navies have Admirals

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

That's actually the reason for MOST bad things!

Before someone decided that there should be admirals, things were mostly fine everywhere 🤷

[-] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Poopdeck Rum is the best.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Seaman Steve's rum kicks ass

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 months ago

I think simply being a recognized brand automatically qualifies it as middle shelf, but I might be wrong 🤷

[-] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

"Spiced Rum"

Swill you would never touch if its actual taste wasn't covered by additives.

[-] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

The label says premium, so...

Everyone gets all judgy until they get rubbed off with warm SPAM, then suddenly it's all "dark corners of the Internet" and raised pulse in the canned meat isle.

[-] mystrawberrymind@piefed.ca 9 points 2 months ago

Oh yuck! Maybe something high proof like Wild Turkey so it really burns so you can’t taste shit

[-] MummifiedClient5000@feddit.dk 9 points 2 months ago

How is this not OK when rum ham is considered a delicacy?

[-] ivanovsky@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

If he was going to commit crimes against humanity anyways, why not just use the fucking empty can of spam sitting right there (and chase it with a bite of spam)?

[-] cpaq47@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Also, who brings a shit glass camping?

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

The scout motto is, "Be Prepared." They never said for what.

First worst reason: pipe fittings.

[-] twack@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

That spam is sliced in half.

There are two of these heathens.

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Or he saved the other half for the first worst reason…

[-] trslim@pawb.social 2 points 2 months ago

I know what the first reason is because of Fallout New Vegas :(
