Knee Deep in the Hooah!

(h/t BBC and Monty Python)

Scene: An Internet Cafe. One table is occupied by a group of Vikings wearing horned helmets. Whenever the word “spam” is repeated, they begin singing and/or chanting. A man and his wife enter the Cafe with a laptop in hand. The man is played by Mr. Hooah and the wife is played by Claire.

Man: You sit here, dear.
Wife: All right.
Man: You checking your email, dear? Well, what’ve you got?

Wife: Well, there’s Internet Explorer; Outlook and my USB Modem and spam; Google and spam; Michelle Malkin and spam; spam an email from your mum and spam; spam a new comment on my blog spam spam Gimp and spam; spam photobucket spam spam Al commented, spam Piper, Cathy and Bon and spam… ;

Vikings: Spam spam spam spam…

Man: Oh, did you see today’s Thunder Run, spam spam spam Jawa Report and spam; spam spam spam spam spam spam Ace of Spades spam spam spam…
Vikings: Spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam!

Wife: … or perhaps we could talk about the difficulties of trying to fashion individual CSS for each of the various browsers whose platforms do not seem to support the exact same html language — and the ramifications that has on world peace.

Man: What has that got to do with spam?
Wife: I don’t want ANY spam! I don’t like Spam!
Man: Why don’t you just read the email from my mom and Spam?
Wife: THAT’S got spam in it!
Man: Hasn’t got as much spam in it as spam Outlook reminder, spam and spam, has it?
Vikings: Spam spam spam spam… (Crescendo through next few lines…)
Wife: Could we do the email, photobucket and Outlook without the Spam then?
Man: Urgghh!
Wife: What do you mean ‘Urgghh’? I don’t like spam!
Vikings: Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!
Wife: Shut up!
Vikings: Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!
Wife: Shut up! (Vikings stop) Bloody Vikings! I don’t like spam!
Man: Sshh, dear, don’t cause a fuss. I’ll have your spam. I love it. I’m having spam spam spam spam spam spam spam email spam spam spam and spam!
Vikings: Spam spam spam spam. Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!
Wife: Shut up!! Spam filter ON!!.
Vikings: (Singing elaborately…) Spam spam spam spam. Lovely spam! Wonderful spam! Spam spa-a-a-a-a-am spam spa-a-a-a-a-am spam. Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Spam spam spam spam!

Tonight’s silliness is brought to you by the following BBC Report, and creativity was spurred on by a deep appreciation for the Monty Python Player’s Spam Skit.

Spam reaches 30-year anniversary

Excerpt

Spam - the scourge of every e-mail inbox - celebrates its 30th anniversary this weekend.

The first recognisable e-mail marketing message was sent on 3 May, 1978 to 400 people on behalf of DEC - a now-defunct computer-maker.

The message was sent via Arpanet - the internet’s forerunner - and won its sender much criticism from recipients.

Thirty years on, spam has grown into an underground industry that sends out billions of messages every day.
