Spam
I love the new sponsored links that appear on Gmail. For those who aren't familiar, Google recognizes certain words or phrases in the body of the e-mail you're reading and displays a link or an advertisement that it deems relevant. For instance, when I read an e-mail about the Pittsburgh Steelers, a link to this blog about the Super Bowl* appears. You know why? Because the Steelers are the reigning Super Bowl champions. But I digress...
Although quite clever, this algorithm has some unintended comedic consequences. For instance, as I was checking my spam folder today, Gmail presented me with links to the following delicious recipes...

- French Fry Spam Casserole;
- Savory Spam Crescents; and
- Spam Breakfast Burrito (serve with salsa!).

Once I was driving a UHaul cross-country and the colossal thing suffered a bad mechanical breakdown. As smoke issued forth from beneath the car, several country boys descended upon us and soon, the smoking uhaul sported 6 pairs of timberland's sticking out from underneath.
"Busted something or other belt!" Said one local.
"Ain't gonna drive her nowhere fast!" quipped another.
So we were located in Austin, Minnesota. Which, you may know, proudly claims the residency of one Hormel plant. They make other products as well (such as cocktail weenies) but they are perhaps best known for their spam production. And by that I don't mean that they send out mass emails implying you have a small weener and your woman is unhappy. I mean they actually make the product that spawned the name. (Ew - spam spawn). So anyway, we actually broke down in Austin (spam capital of the world) during their annual "Spam Days." They had spam recipes, spam tasting contests, and even a spam haiku contest, which I was smart enough to enter using my real first and last name.
So now if you do a google search on my first and last name in quotes, you will see my brilliant spam haikus in all their glory.
Don't plaigarize me though. I know you will want to.
