I can't even ask what this is all about. You either have no respect for Lobster or completely elevated the usage of SPAM.

Well, of course. As they said of the trussed-up gorilla that arrived at the zoo, "It was bound to come."
Baltimore is one of them. When I was born there in 1953, it was just a nice American city, with almost 1,000,000 citizens, where you could go anywhere in safety.
Now, Baltimore has about 580,000 residents, and is essentially in a state of anarchy. Criminals roam the streets and do whatever they feel like doing, with no fear of consequences. Politicians are clueless, the police are helpless, and law-abiding folks aren't safe anywhere.
The local news reported this evening that the city is on track to have 375 murders this year, and about 800 non-fatal shootings. Violent carjackings are the latest fashion among teenage criminals, and holdups and muggings don't even merit a mention on the news.
Those of us who moved out of the city years ago don't go back there now for anything. Tourism has dried up, there are no more conventions, and the vaunted Harborplace pavilions at the Inner Harbor are devoid of merchants.
From an academic standpoint, it's interesting to watch civilized society unravel and disintegrate...but it isn't much fun to live through it...

Had one just yesterday for breakfast. Probably finish off the can with another tomorrow. I've always liked a plain ole Spam sammich with mayo too.
I think grilled or pan fried Spam is pretty fine, but COLD, not so much. Of course, I find fish(sushi) they same way.

I lived 20 miles south of Baltimore from age 4 until I was 18. My folks talked about going "to the city" to shop. I went there with family just before the streetcars stopped running.
By the late '50s-early '60s, suburban shopping malls were popping up in Glen Burnie and Laurel, so the family shopping was done in those towns.
The last time I went to "Balmer" was about 2007 to visit the Constellation. Things were going downhill and I haven't been back.
Getting back to Spam, I last ate some when I was in Afghanistan. I haven't been that hungry since. I'd much rather have corned beef hash.

Retail pilferage, always a problem, has evolved into an epidemic. Many small shops in indoor malls have installed planters and innocent-looking fences/partitions to restrict physical access in an attempt to stop grab-and-run thefts. Childish, I know, but I still would like an explanation from the powers-that-be, any of them, why this conduct is acceptable and permitted to continue unchecked.

I'll never ask them to unlock. 
I'm with pawngal.
My family was dirt poor going from a Quonset hut to public housing and that **** was never on the table.

The old expression is "make do" and there's nothing wrong with that, IMHO.

"Mystery meat?" You're sorely mistaken - it is the foundation of the renowned Ozark kielbasa!

They used to have a Spam-O-Rama festival in Austin every year,I don't know if they still have it since the Covid shut down.
I used to play with a Korean keyboardist that turned me onto a different side of Spam. He would spread Sriracha on Spam slices, sprinkle them with brown sugar and caramelize them in a hot pan until glazed and slightly crispy.
Between bread or atop Ramen were tasty ways to keep more gig money in my pocket.

I pencil it onto my calendar, right before South Carolina's "Chitlin Strut".

In the late 70's I went to a two day chitlin' festival in Camden, SC.
Beer, bluegrass, good food and good fun.
An acre of girls in Frye boots, cut off bibs and pony tails pulled through the back of Dekalb caps was worth the price of admission.

Why bother to put those security tags on stuff if when somebody grabs it and runs nobody's going to chase them anyway?
