Spam, It's What's For Lunch
I've been inspired again by Maggie Mason. She has started a series of Spam Header Posts where she lists some of the more interesting & amusing spam headers she has been getting.
I, too, have been playing with the idea of spam headers as fodder for blogging. Specifically, I'd love to see real content behind some of the headers.
Eg. for Maggie's example Hot Potato Corroborate, I speculate the body of the post could start off...
Today, in the heavily contested Kramer vrs Kramer case, more commonly known as Birthday Party Games Gone Wrong, it was necessary for the Hot Potato himself to take the stand….
So, dear readers, I issue this challenge: pick a spam header that you've gotten via email or on your blog that you really wish had real content, or that amuses you, and fill in the blanks.
Write me a Spam Header Inspired Post.
Then, so we can all read your brilliant spam-inspired prose, add a link to your post in the comments below.
Damn, I wish I had a picture of spam.

Venus - I am picturing you pouncing... it's a little frightening.
stampgeek 1 - I think they call it Klik. Kam works in accounting.
stampgeek 2 - Or perhaps it's better to just live with a deuterium than to banish it.
Her Obduracy he carbohydrate
She was a stubborn lass, and standing on the cliff top, with the icy sea wind plucking at her bodice strings, she knew she had no choice. She would have to turn away from the lover who had brought her so much happiness, and yet so much pain.
"Bread,...slathered with butter and jam....Rice in jasmine-scented heaps...all of this is what brings me to you.. but it's time I learned to live without you..." Her lower lip trembled, but her spine was stiff. "It's not just a fad for me. I am making a sensible food choice..."
"Good bye, Sweet Carbs..."
Yes, Stampgeek, there IS a Spam museum, in Spamtown, aka Austin, Minnesota...

Nice carb imagery there, Thumps.
