    I thought Hawaii was the world’s largest consumer of Spam. Maybe it’s the United States’ largest consumer. (The only way I , a born/bred Washingtonian, like Spam is the Hawaiian treat Spam musubi.

    I knew a guy with that skin condition. He buzzed his hair short and it looked like the picture, with weird grooves in his scalp.Some say that Pacific Islanders like Spam because it tastes like human. I recall reading a Straight Dope article on the subject. Probably just a myth.

    It’s ‘musabi’. The real reason spam is so popular in Hawaii and Guam is because sailors and marines in WWII would trade spam (often the only meat available for weeks at a time onboard ship) for other food with the local population. Also, because Hawaii did not become a state until 1959 they did not receive nearly as much ‘Spam and government cheese’ welfare handouts that gave spam a reputation as sub par, ‘poor people’ food….

    the armed forces were defacto segregated and had been since the formation of the negro battalions during the Civil War. So don’t try to lay that on Wilson. Try laying it on Lincoln as he was CinC at that time. And please define “bumbling” as it applies to WW I.

    Spam is popular in the pacific islands because other meats in those regions are scarce and expensive, plus it’s convenient since it doesn’t need refrigeration, which is/was unreliable in those kinds of climates. It has nothing to do with cannibalism.

    Mr. Obama’s unelected predecessor was the only president with an MBA. Hard to believe that he could actually obtain a degree, isn’t it. Hope he got a good deal on the Harvard black market (or was it Yale)...Of course, Herbert Hoover was a lot better in business than that guy…

    I heard the usual signs of a region liking spam are: Heavy Asian influence (i.e. into pork), a climate that makes preserved meats desirable, and either a active or once active presence of the U.S. military. That qualifies Guam.
