Matron has a huge stockpile of Spam. Aside from the pills, weak lemon drink, highly calorific confectionery and lead paint, this is all I allow past my lips. Clearly hasn't done me any harm.

Been playing around with lighting and gelling my flashes. Probably a placeholder.

Ha! If you like SPAM, you should take another trip to the US and come down to Austin, TX for the next SPAMARAMA.

Is it the Spam that makes you take the little green pills? Or is it the other way around? Great lighting, the gels are very effective.

Spamity Spam, Spamity spam...

Mr. Flibble--I turn that color of green even thinking about Spam. Great work, as always.--Frank

You are deluded Flibble if you think that Spam does not damage the brain.


Splendid shot for this week.

Lovely shot. This was a food stable back in the college days of no money... didn't taste too bad fried with some beans on the side. Dunno what all the "pork" is, could be feet, etc.; you get your money's worth I guess. ha

Well done. Love the background!

Spam isn't it becoming trendy again. Retro revived.

Hey, Fibbs! They made me eat this stuff when I lived in England when I was a kid. Probably, I ate some from this same production lot. It made everyone else green so I'm not sure you really needed the gells - only had to taste a bit of it and the pictue would go all wonky. This should help restore your system to working order after all the confection. It does seem that your photos have calmed down a bit. I think the red and blue striped pills are having their desired effect. Don't overdo them, though, lest you begin speaking Chinchila.

Oh yes... the photo... Splendid.

Fond regards,

Endre

Yes, Flibble would have enough credientials to make the Monty Python team...

I agree with Strad that they must have upped your red and blue striped pills this week... I really like how you have created a cross-processing, retro look with the gels.

Personally - for what it's worth and it 'aint a whole amount of much - I think you could have raided Matron's cupboard and shot a whole load of spam cans...like filling the shot with 30 of them or something...maybe playing on the modern meaning of spam...but being as Matron now keeps the key down her cleavage, I can understand how nobody is gonna try that...
