I would invite you to visit me, but your unit is longer than my street.

hee hee hee........(Haaaack!) thanks for bring on a coughing fit..........

Well, Andorra could certainly fit in the loo, there.

LOL! You can see that it doesn't exactly fit into our yard. Waaay more than 2 people need, but we couldn't walk away from it at that price. It was built just for extroverts like us - it has a BUILT-IN ICEMAKER AND BLENDER, and a built-in gas grill (hidden in a vault on the outside)! I'll never need to find out if the stove works.

I was afraid of what the neighbors would say, but they are pleased not to have to look at our ugly wasteland of a front yard anymore.

We can drive our giant tin can to the Spam museum to look at that giant tin can!!

I get cravings for it! And this Aldi version is even better, extra salty and greasy, with fewer tooth-busting bone chips than *real* Spam. Do y'all have Aldies yet? It's a cut rate store-brand supermarket? I've shopped at them in Europe, and now they have crossed the pond. Everything they sell is cheaper and tastier than the "big brand" version.

Bob: Spiced ham for sure... if you consider scalp meat to be ham. I think they make it out of parts that the hog continue to live a long life without. That's good eatin'!

My in-laws have one of those things. And, whenever they come to visit and park in the driveway... I always wait for the Neigboorhood association to start sending letters. No letters yet though. I think they are supposed to visit today... I can tell way before I get to the house if they have arrived yet.

From Wikipedia for those who don't know:

Spam is a canned precooked meat product made by the Hormel Foods Corporation. The labeled ingredients in the classic variety of Spam are: chopped pork shoulder meat with ham meat added, salt, water, sugar, and sodium nitrite to help keep its color. Spam's gelatinous glaze, or aspic, forms from the cooling of meat stock.[1] The product has become part of many jokes and urban legends about mystery meat, which has made it part of pop culture and folklore.

... made it part of pop culture and folklore and delicious meals ...

I think the gelatinous glaze makes it pop grease onto your arms when you cook it.

I haven't had Spam in probably fifty years--I think I'll put it on my shopping list. (I do get too much of the other kind).

DG, RadingRocks, and Bob: Didja ever have the pleasure of a meal of fried Spam and Kraft Mac&Cheese? It's heaven on a plate.
