If he was going to commit crimes against humanity anyways, why not just use the fucking empty can of spam sitting right there (and chase it with a bite of spam)?

[–] xcutie@linux.community 24 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Why not just drink straight from the bottle like any other Captain Morgan connaiseur?

[–] Sculptor9157@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 hours ago

It's Rum Spam.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 8 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Can't make a post about that

It is said that “Spam” is short for “spiced ham.”

This photo also includes spiced rum.

The photographer is having Spam and Spum.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 22 points 18 hours ago

Thanks, I hate it.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 10 points 17 hours ago

Spum

so that's the first reason !

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 12 hours ago

Common misconception. Spam is actually short for "is this SuPposed to be hAM?"

Sounds like an obscure roman dish

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 3 points 13 hours ago

nah, Austrian.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

The Soviets during WWII called Spam "second front" because they were a little tetchy about having to fight Hitler mostly by themselves for most of their part of the war.

[–] UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 6 points 13 hours ago

Guess they shouldn't have made an alliance with Hitler.

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago

First is to eat it.

Third is to fuck it.

[–] CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de 40 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

This person packed captain Morgan’s to drink neat, and spam.

I do not want to go camping with this gastronomist.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

I'd rather be camping with this guy than the guy who brings everything and makes biscuits and gravy for breakfast.

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 8 points 18 hours ago

You don’t know … it could be rum and coke in that spam glass 💀

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 9 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

I thought the first worst reason for carving a hole in Spam was to make a weed pipe, but then I realized what OP probably actually meant.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I 100% guarantee that some stoner has smoked out of a block of spam. I have no idea who that person would be, but I promise that they exist and have done it.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 1 points 15 minutes ago

I've used potatoes and apples personally. Never used Spam because it never occurred to me to do so.

[–] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 3 points 10 hours ago

I read this in Horatio McCallister's voice

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

That comes after_

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 10 points 18 hours ago

They could just drink from the bottle, yes. But, then they wouldn't have the inspiration of the spam cup for afterwards.

[–] mystrawberrymind@piefed.ca 9 points 19 hours ago

Oh yuck! Maybe something high proof like Wild Turkey so it really burns so you can’t taste shit

[–] U7826391786239@lemmy.zip 7 points 18 hours ago (5 children)

not an expert on rum, but isn't captain morgan some bottom shelf shit?

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago

The label says premium, so...

[–] GrabtharsHammer@lemmy.world 10 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

The higher the rank of the sailor on the bottle, the worse the rum.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 15 hours ago

Yeah, General Reginald Longbottom's Genuine Navy Rum is FOUL!

Recruit Rum on the other hand..

[–] U7826391786239@lemmy.zip 5 points 18 hours ago

kraken eats them all

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 2 points 13 hours ago

"Spiced Rum"

Bottom shelf stuff you would never touch if its actual taste wasn't covered by additives.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 12 hours ago

It's gotta be like the 3rd shelf from the bottom because Caribba exists... And there's shit worse than Caribba.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 15 hours ago

I think simply being a recognized brand automatically qualifies it as middle shelf, but I might be wrong 🤷

[–] MummifiedClient5000@feddit.dk 7 points 18 hours ago

How is this not OK when rum ham is considered a delicacy?

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 6 points 18 hours ago

Everyone gets all judgy until they get rubbed off with warm SPAM, then suddenly it's all "dark corners of the Internet" and raised pulse in the canned meat isle.

[–] phantomwormhole@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 16 hours ago

That's amateur hour. Whip out a jar of peanut butter and go wild!
