Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam…

Sounds like a joke but it's true: To tie in with the new Monty Python musical, Spamalot, the Hormel company is putting out a special "golden honey grail" can of Spam. It comes out in February — when the show will be opening on Broadway — and they say it'll be available just in New York. I have a feeling this will be a collectible only, which is to say no one will actually open the can and consume its contents. Which if you must buy a can of Spam is always a good idea.

Here's a press release about this monumental event. Here's an announcement about the pre-Broadway pre-cast album of the show, which sounds like a CD of the demos Eric Idle recorded. And here's a link to the official website for the show, which is full of all sorts of silliness. If you just load the site and listen, you can hear an awful lot of the score.
