The Final Score

Since Anthony asked . . .

I'm sorry to say that Chicago Norm's anti-Spam filter has been in effect since birth. However I have tried Hormel Corned Beef Spread, which is pretty much Spam in a different can.

Did you know that George A. Hormel, the granddaddy of Spam, once worked in a Chicago meat-packing plant?

Although I have not tried Spam (and hopefully never will), I'm pretty sure that my Oklahoma in-laws have, and have probably fed leftovers to the hogs. The hogs also have also enjoyed Twinkies, Hostess Cupcakes and Suzy-Qs on occasion.

Another did you know . . .

That fine casinos everywhere have Spam slot machines? Quite the eye candy. I'm sure they sense that I'm not a big Spam fan and have therefore sucked me dry every time I've played one.

Don't worry; Baumbach will be back soon. I'll bet he's tried Spam.
