...Brings back memories of watching the annual Spamfest in Austin...
Among the more disturbingly entertaining events were:
The "No-Hands" Spam-munching showdown, wherein contestants wolf down a can of SPAM, jelly and all, without using their hands. First one through without distance-hurling (that's a separate event) wins.
The SPAM sculpture event. One of the more creative entries used SPAM to recreate the sinking of the Titanic. The jelly was used not only for the ocean, but was mixed with a little mayonnaise and molded into an iceberg, too!
The SPAM fling!! My favourite! See how far you can manually launch an uncanned brick of SPAM. Points awarded for style and accuracy. The winner the year I watched used an overhead, two-handed football throw-in style, and pitched that table **** a good fifty-six yards, arcing beautifully and landing with a fragmenting "SPLOIT!!"
The entire event, of course skyrockets on the entertainment scale, if you can attend either under the influence of illicit substances, or in the company of individuals so bent.
