As a life-long fan of Spam as well as a native Minnesotan, I loved your post but take umbrage at your naming Hawai'i as the home of Spam. Spam originated in good old Austin, Minnesota, home of Hormel Foods. While we're justly proud of Sven & Ole jokes, lutefisk, and winters that rival Antarctica, Spam is one of those things that transcends our state and enhances our international reputation as a place of high culture and outstanding cuisine. Next time, make sure you give credit where credit it due. BTW, visit www.spam.com for some great Spam fun, including a Monty Python Spamalot game!
