Spamarama in Austin. March 29th this year. Believe me, Spam (proud potted 
meat product) is not a fruit, vegetable, grain, insect or animal. (Though 
people have made sculptures of these things out of Spam for "creative use 
of" in past years, IIRC. Honest.) The organizer is called the "Potentate of 
Potted Pork Parties". For more information, see www.spamarama.com. For a 
good laugh, read the entry form for the cook-off. ("In case of indigestion, 
contact ___________.")
