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

This photo also includes spiced rum.

The photographer is having Spam and Spum.

Spum

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The sad thing is what destroyed his career was more his inability to meet deadlines than any form of sexual misconduct.

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 weeks ago

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

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 weeks ago

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

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks 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 15 points 2 weeks ago

It's Rum Spam.

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

Can't make a post about that

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

They could just drink from the bottle, yes. But, then they wouldn't have the inspiration of the spam cup for afterwards.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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.

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 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 2 points 1 week ago

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

[–] GrabtharsHammer@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] U7826391786239@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 weeks ago

kraken eats them all

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

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

Recruit Rum on the other hand..

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You know it's bad because Navies have Admirals

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

That's actually the reason for MOST bad things!

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

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Seaman Steve's rum kicks ass

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

"Spiced Rum"

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

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

The label says premium, so...

First is to eat it.

Third is to fuck it.

[–] MummifiedClient5000@feddit.dk 9 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] mystrawberrymind@piefed.ca 9 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago

Bruh. Eat the spam, now can is cup. Pour small amount, now cup is shot glass.

[–] ivanovsky@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks 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)?

Also, who brings a shit glass camping?

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

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

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

First worst reason: pipe fittings.

[–] twack@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That spam is sliced in half.

There are two of these heathens.
