So I opened up my G-mail and I see...

      "Spicy Spam Kabobs."
      "Say what now?"
      "Spicy Spam Kabobs."
      "..... Uh, OK. And the relevance of this is what?"
      "Spicy Spam Kabobs."
      "Yes, yes, I've got that. But what...?"
      "Spicy Spam Kabobs."
      "All right, I'm guessing that's some sort of recipe. I'm not a big fan of spam, but really, who is? But what I want to know is why..."
      "Spicy Spam Kabobs."
      "Stop that! What I want to know is why this is so important that..."
     "Spicy Spam Kabobs."
      "...you're putting this on the bar in my G-mail screen. I mean, I like food, but really..."
      "Spicy Spam Kabobs."
      "... that's pretty nasty-sounding as a dish. Maybe if it were more like a satirical battle cry for a bunch of food-based superheroes or something like that. You know, like on The Tick...."
      "Spicy Spam Kabobs."
      "...when The Tick is mulling over a battlecry that would strike fear into the hearts of villains. Granted, The Tick is supposed to be a spoof of the superhero genre, and therefore everything he says is supposed to be either..."
      "Spicy Spam Kabobs."
      "... dumb-funny or ironic. But that doesn't change the fact that as a dish..."
      "Spicy Spam Kabobs."
      "...heh, you hit your cue right on time. Anyway, as a dish..."
      "Spicy Spam Kabobs."
      "...just isn't my thing. I especially don't want to hear about..."
      "Spicy Spam Kabobs."
      "Hey, we're getting pretty good at this. I especially don't want to hear about..."
      "Spicy Spam Kabobs."
      "in the morning when I'm checking my G-mail. Aren't there any other kinds of recipes that..."
      "Spicy Spam Kabobs."
      "...you may have that don't involve Spam? I mean, I'm not really a Spam kind of guy. Maybe something involving chicken or beef or something like that?"
      "Spicy Spam Kabobs. Serves 4."
      "*sigh*"
      Based on a semi-true experience. Only the repetition has been changed to spoof the not-so-innocent. And I'm not kidding about the frequency of the Spam recipes. Every time there's a recipe in the little G-mail bar thingie, it always involves Spam.
     Always.
     Spam.
     Yeah.
     The recipe is here, in case you think I'm making it up. Although, why you would think I would make up such a thing as
      "Spicy Spam Kabobs."
is really beyond me.
