That's actually what it's made of, whether that's where they got the name or not is less clear.

Spam has probably been around since the late 1800's, Hormel's packed ham was a pretty early product. I'm pretty sure Mr. Hormel is long dead.

Please don't blow up the back fence in trying to create one.
You put what in my Power Mac?
Its like what happens when you cross a phoenix with a super black hole; it's powerful enough to destroy itself, only to be reborn in a vicious cycle of torment and pain. Or in this case, nonsense.

Dude, imagine Redline Trash Talk; the unholy spawn of B&B and ATT.

Spam is absolutely foul. If you're ever bored make yourself a spam burger, makes a McDonalds corkboard burger taste like Aberdeen Angus.

Kangaroo! Oh no..
OH GOD.
I just had a revelation. In Winnie the Poo, Kanga is the mom, and Roo is the son. I never put two and two together until now. Granted, I never had a reason to, but sitll. Wow!

Eeyore was always my favourite, Tigga was always a close second however.

Oh yes. But Pooh was always my very very favorite. ESPECIALLY Classic Pooh. That was my thing.
Does anyone have any idea what sex Rabbit was? I could never tell.

Junius Matthews (original voice of Rabbit) was a guy, but I must admit that I've occasionally questioned Rabbit's sex as well.

Everytime someone says Rabbit is a boy, I swear that "he's" and old woman. Whenever someone says "he's" an old woman, I swear "he's" a man. It's very frustrating. I was too young to make note of any pronouns used in place.

But the series came from the books directly. At least the original did.
I think it has more to do with the voice of the disney rabbit vs. the voice I heard when reading the books, or listening to my dad read them.

Ah, I see. That would make sense, wouldn't it.
Those were such wonderful stories. I forgot how great A.A Milne was.

I'm kinda scared to reread them after a recent episode invovling me reading Babar to a bunch of pre-school kids. I got about half-way through the book when I realised what an incredibly racist, sexist, neo-colonialist story it was. So know I approach all children's books with some hestitation that I'll realise they're not as good as I remember them being.
