Does anyone remember Spamku or Spam Haiku. Here are 19,000 of them on a vintage website.

Or, if you can, book a ticket to Honolulu, the Spam capital of the world.

That site has quantity but there is much better quality out there. I first heard of spamku in the nineties I think.

My friends started this one in Toronto: https://BadHaiku.com - and have a company called Bad Math. Growing up she was best friends with Karla Homolka. I held photos of their childhood birthday parties and heard about the letters she wrote from prison. Weird stuff. Janice was also a great hockey goalie and fought to play in the boys league, other big news that grabbed the nation way back when. Life can be stranger than fiction.

Just read the entire Wiki entry for Karla and it is a very bizarre tale. I wonder what she and Bernardo (?) did on their first few dates and how they found out about their mutual interests. I learned that some of her letters were pulled from e-bay but not until the bidding was up to $1600. Truth is stranger than fiction because fiction has to make sense. They say.

Saidit sure has changed since the old days, huh?

Some of those are really funny. Spamku were invented way back when I spent a lot of time in Hawaii, on the Big Island. The locals love spam.
