We've always tried to like -- and spell -- fancy-ass French food like fishyswass and keesh, but our palate hails from Texas, and our culinary hero is Homer Simpson. Thus, we'll be at the front of the line when the SPAMMOBILE pulls into the Arizona State Fairgrounds to hand out...

We've always tried to like -- and spell -- fancy-ass French food like fishyswass and keesh, but our palate hails from Texas, and our culinary hero is Homer Simpson.

It'll make for the perfect complement to your Pope-on-a-rope and black-velvet painting of the late disconsolate clown Emmett Kelly. Check out www.spam.com/mobile/spam_mobile.aspx for kicks.
