This is a few days late but kind of interesting all the same:

Hoping to drum up some business, Laurence Canter dashed off a Perl script that flooded online message boards with an advertisement pitching the legal services of Canter & Siegel, the law firm he ran with his then wife, Martha Siegel.

My mom loves the meat. I love teasing her about it. Actually I only ate it once on a camping trip 8 years ago, but some things you don't forget.

I haven't liked spam the meat as much as I've gotten older. I've never liked spam mail.

I should have suspected spam to have been a creation by lawyers...

Anybody hear about the big SPAM festival up north somewhere? They serve foods like SPAM pies and puddings. Blech! :stick_out_tongue:
