Spam Mystery Solved
Two smart readers, David Allen and the monomial Jared, emailed me separately in response to my recent rambling post wherein I complimented the beneficent Amanda Frazier while denigrating Spam. Given that they both identify the same source as the inspiration for Spam as a descriptor for junk email, I am quite certain that they are right.
Apparently Monty Python is to blame. Now it makes perfect sense. Velveeta has too many syllables.
And if you think the Monty Python skit is entertaining, check out Hormel's official Spam website. (Shiver)
