kohlenklau Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Maybe they could use the SPAM grease to lubricate the action on their M1's? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I doubt that's a real photo. If they had marked "SPAM" on the boxes it would have negatively affected morale Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Hey! When the ammo dump features come out we can do a mod with "SPAM" on the crates!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Looks like Battleground. I despised Spam when I was a kid and still do. My mother went in the hospital when I was 6 for what seemed like a year and ALL my father could cook was beans, Spam, and fried baloney. I used to pass my beans off to my brother when ever I could get away with it. Beans, Spam and fried baloney haven't gone in my gut since 1975. Mord. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kohlenklau Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Spam was typical payment for certain services, shall we say female civilian provided services, in the Italian theater of war. Cigarettes also of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Emrys Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Spam was typical payment for certain services, shall we say female civilian provided services, in the Italian theater of war. Cigarettes also of course. In the winter of 1943-44 tens of thousands of urban Italians were on the brink of starvation. It hadn't occurred to the Allied high command that it would be necessary to provide still scarce merchant transport to move food to the Italian civilians. As a result, said civilians would do just about anything to get a little food. Or cigarettes of course. Rick Atkinson devotes quite a bit of space to the problem and its ramifications in Day of Battle. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 Mmmmmmmmmm. Nothin' says "Happy Valentines" like good ol' SPAM in the shape of the very organ it fills with spicey pork goodness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSTK Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) Looks like Battleground. I despised Spam when I was a kid and still do. My mother went in the hospital when I was 6 for what seemed like a year and ALL my father could cook was beans, Spam, and fried baloney. I used to pass my beans off to my brother when ever I could get away with it. Beans, Spam and fried baloney haven't gone in my gut since 1975. Mord. Spam and fried baloney? You lucky bastard! I would have given my right arm for Spam and fried baloney. I had to settle for breast milk instead. I suppose if it was good enough for my father, it was good enough for me.

mjkerner Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 You guys are soooo elitist (well, except BLSTK). I love Spam for breakfast when I am camping. Cowboy coffee, Spam, eggs and biscuits. Mmmmm...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I eat scrapple, so much for elitist Spam is just wrong.Coming from a scrapple eater that kind of says it all. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrapple 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 Below is the photo from the first post's now apparently dead link.

mjkerner Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Pffft, Scrapple. OK, I'll give you that you guys may not be elitists. Just p*ssies. Real men eat Spam. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Upon reflection, I think sburke moves up from p*ussy to wimp. Although I wonder if Scrapple grease has the same utility that Spam grease has around camp. You other guys...no changes. This is not opinion, btw. I deal only in facts! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 I actually will buy some of this if they have it...after I use a trench knife to scrape away that cosmoline-like substance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I actually will buy some of this if they have it...after I use a trench knife to scrape away that cosmoline-like substance. I knew I could count on you to man-up, klk! But that "cosmoline-like substance" is really God's tears, shed for all the wussy-men who can't abide by Spam. It has great lubricating qualities, although best not to discuss in polite society. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
folkie Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I eat scrapple, so much for elitist Spam is just wrong.Coming from a scrapple eater that kind of says it all. scrapple esse gudt! real men eat scrapple, you'll find a lot more gnarly bits of a hog in scrapple than you will spam. hell we even have vegetarian scrapple we call mush. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sburke Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Man and I thought we'd actually become friends in a way, then you invite me over to serve spam. Bummer dude. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Man and I thought we'd actually become friends in a way, then you invite me over to serve spam. Bummer dude. Dystopian view there, Mr. Burke. He is actually paying you one of the highest compliments one man can give to another..."You're such a good friend, I simply must invite you over for a delicious Spam dinner. Your choice of flavors!" Probably the most beautiful two sentences in the English language. @klk: Those coordinates will greatly assist the NSA/Homeland Security in sending drones after you. Best serve the Spam in your basement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
