For a while, my spam contained verses from Zephaniah. I mean, who in the hell even remembers Zephaniah? So I sat down and flipped through it for the first time since I made an effort to read through the Bible in my misguided youth.

It’s a better book than I had forgotten. Chock full of God totally telling us that we can fully expect our candy asses to get kicked any day now. Check it out.

“Spam as Folk Art” has a lot of these sorts of examples.
