This story<br \/>\nalso insults Twinkies.<\/p>\n<p>     And Ho-Hos.<\/p>\n<p>     And Ring Dings.<\/p>\n<p>     And the LipLess Wonder.<\/p>\n<p>     THE STORY SO FAR:<\/p>\n<p>     On a unusually boring day, Raphael Dareau, bored out of<br \/>\nhis skull, decided that it would be a good time to log in to<br \/>\nsomething called NovaNET.  Quite a few people say that this<br \/>\nincident was not exactly the most brillant thing to let<br \/>\nRaphael Dareau do, and some others say, &#8220;What possible harm<br \/>\ncould he have done to the natural order of things?  This sort<br \/>\nof thing is inevitable in any normal universe.&#8221; And there is<br \/>\na guy on top of a mountain in the middle of Nepal meditating<br \/>\non this fact.  He is quite unsure at this time.  Anyway,<br \/>\nRaphael Dareau achieved signon-ness, and logged into NovaNET<br \/>\nshortly after the incident that caused the complete collapse<br \/>\nof the Maine NovaNET structure.  It also marked the end of<br \/>\nsomething called the Matt Thomas era.<\/p>\n<p>     In the beginning, there was NovaNET.  The entire history<br \/>\nof NovaNET upto the end of the Matt Thomas era was lost<br \/>\nbecause of a tragic headon collision between a blimp and a<br \/>\nsubmarine.  Details of this incident are still classified,<br \/>\nbut one of the investagating officers called it &#8220;The most<br \/>\nunique tragidies that has been known to mankind.&#8221;  However,<br \/>\nunlike The Story of NovaNET, which has merged with The Story<br \/>\nOf Spam, much is known about the history of Spam, from<br \/>\nbeginning to end.  The actual history of NovaNET before the<br \/>\nend of the Matt Thomas era is unfortunately held in the brain<br \/>\nof the person who made the era possible.  However, from the<br \/>\npieces from the wreckage of the blimp-submarine accident,<br \/>\nthere were bits of Nova History that was recovered.<\/p>\n<p>     One day during the Matt Thomas era, The Bearded Wonder<br \/>\nwas playing Avatar at CAPS for the first time.  Little did he<br \/>\nknow that one of the sinks in Neville Hall was used to<br \/>\ndispose of Biological Waste.  This lovely stuff when coming<br \/>\ninto contact with skin, caused the affected part of the body<br \/>\nto fall off.  The Bearded Wonder walked into this particular<br \/>\nbathroom and filled the basin with water to begin washing his<br \/>\nface.  He started washing his face, and then noticed that<br \/>\nwater smelled funny.  He screamed and was taken to the local<br \/>\nmedical facility, where he was rejected and taken to a<br \/>\nchiropractor instead.  The Chiropractor said that his back<br \/>\nwas fine, but they could not rescue his lips.  By then, the<br \/>\nlips had declared independence, and severed themselves from<br \/>\nthe Murph-Unit and joined forces with the Deb.  The gangreen<br \/>\ninfection however, unfortunately, in The Bearded Wonder was<br \/>\ncured, and afther this tramatic incident, The Bearded Wonder<br \/>\njoined the Handicapped Lip Society, where he was quickly made<br \/>\nPresident.<\/p>\n<p>     All but the President part is just a theory.  Even back<br \/>\nthose ancient days, no one really knew what happened to<br \/>\nThe Bearded Wonder, although the above is the most accepted<br \/>\ntheory.  Others are:<\/p>\n<p>     o The Bearded Wonder caught his lips in the windowsill,<br \/>\nvices, or other type of mechanical apparatus.<\/p>\n<p>     o The Bearded Wonder had gangreen of the lips.<\/p>\n<p>     o He cut them off on a dare or as initiation to some<br \/>\ngroup.<\/p>\n<p>     At the near end of the Matt Thomas era, Jim Troutman<br \/>\nclimed Mt. Urbana and received a message from Felix, the God<br \/>\nof the NovaNET machines.  He gave Jim some huge tablets of<br \/>\nthe Commandments Of NovaNET, a waste many people said, as the<br \/>\nCommandments were available in the local area in paperback.<br \/>\nBut Felix did not just give Jim a couple pounds of granite,<br \/>\nbut he also gave him a warning.  There existed a creature<br \/>\ncalled The Guardian Of The Lips which travelled with a local<br \/>\ndeity called the Deb.  Deb was in charge of the universe<br \/>\ncalled =maine, and Felix fortold of destruction and meyhem<br \/>\nwas about to be put onto the people in this universe.  Jim<br \/>\ndid not know what to think, so he ignored it.<\/p>\n<p>     Then about 4 months later, The Deb and The Guardian Of<br \/>\nThe Lips swooped down into =maine and began to kill signons<br \/>\nleft and right, causing much panic.  The only true one that<br \/>\nwas ineffected by this action was Jim himself, for Felix gave<br \/>\nhim an aurora that Deb and The Lips could not penetrate and<br \/>\nthey kept bouncing off the aura everytime that they attacked<br \/>\nJim.  However, many were not so lucky &#8212; in fact, Felix<br \/>\nlaughed as The Lips chased and killed signons across the vast<br \/>\nlands of =maine.  And for those who did survive, life was<br \/>\njust not the same.  Term-Talk, otherwise known as the Tower<br \/>\nOf Babble, crumbled to the ground.  Other features such as<br \/>\nAvatar and Talkomatic were disabled for periods of time,<br \/>\nkeeping people at bay during the daytime hours.  Slowly, but<br \/>\nsurely, life in =maine began to slowly return to normal, and<br \/>\nas long as Deb was happy, everyone was happy.<\/p>\n<p>     Now before we make the connection between NovaNET and<br \/>\nSpam, here is a few things that everyone should know about<br \/>\nSpam.<\/p>\n<p>     Spam had its beginnings back in 1937 when Jay Hormel,<br \/>\none of the major people of the Hormel Meat Company, found out<br \/>\nthat several thousand extra pounds of pork shoulder existed<br \/>\nwithin one of their storehouses, and they had to find a quick<br \/>\nsolution to get rid of it in anyway before the meat rotten<br \/>\nand caused a bigger mess than it already was doing.  Jay<br \/>\nHormel decided that it would be a good idea to have the meat<br \/>\nshipped to his secret laboratory.  He took the meat and began<br \/>\nto mix different products into it.  A big black puff of<br \/>\nsmoke rose from one particular combination, and it caused<br \/>\nsuch a flash that Jay had to look away for a second.  After<br \/>\nseveral seconds after the flash, he looked and saw a cubical<br \/>\npiece of meat that took the place of all the ingrediants that<br \/>\nhe mixed together.  Daringly, he tasted the product.  It did<br \/>\ntaste kinda strange, but it was not beyond all hope.  In<br \/>\nfact, it tasted well enough that it would take care of the<br \/>\nextra meat that they had rotting in storage.  He then began<br \/>\nto market it under Hormel luncheon meat, which many people<br \/>\ndecided was the dumbest name to come into existance since<br \/>\nFresca, so an emergency meeting was held to find a better<br \/>\nname for the new substance.  The President declared that the<br \/>\nperson who came up with the new name for the meat would<br \/>\nreceive $100.  Mady people sitting at that table pondered the<br \/>\nidea for a few minutes, then all of sudden, Kenneth Daigneau<br \/>\nstood up, yelled out &#8220;SPAM&#8221; and ran down the hallway.<br \/>\nSurprised, YET quick to adapt, the luncheon meat was forever<br \/>\ndubbed with that ever-holy name and most everyone saw that it<br \/>\nwas good, as soon it achieved itself into its current<br \/>\ndefinition &#8212; A meat substance that is consumed at the rate<br \/>\nof 3.8 cans per second and is sold in more thant 50<br \/>\ncountries.  The meat was so popular that Margaret Thatcher<br \/>\nate it for Christmas dinner in 1943 and Nikita Khrishchev<br \/>\ncalled it one of the only things to keep the Soviet Army<br \/>\nalive.<\/p>\n<p>     Then 50 years later, Spam had a birthday.  The luncheon<br \/>\nmeat was featured in Minnesota and in many different ways &#8212;<br \/>\na luncheon that featured an &#8220;all you can eat&#8221; Spam Breakfast<br \/>\nfor $1.99.  Also, there were Spam Pizzas and Spam submarine<br \/>\nsandwitches (which is not what crashed into the Blimp, or was<br \/>\nit?).  There was also a Spam eating contest where contestants<br \/>\nwere times as they ate a 7-ounce can of Spam.  Fingers were<br \/>\nthe only utensils that were allowed during the contest and<br \/>\nthey could only drink a 7 ounce glass of water.  There was<br \/>\nalso a Spam sculpting contest where artist were &#8220;free&#8221; to<br \/>\nexpress themselves.  Also, this jamboree featured the Spam<br \/>\nrecipe contest, with live bands, and bicycle and foot races.<br \/>\nAlso, A Spam King and Queen were chosen.<\/p>\n<p>     What kind of connection does this have with anything,<br \/>\nyou might ask yourself.  It started with NovaNET with<br \/>\nsomething like this.<\/p>\n<p>     Laecretius, a powerful sorcerer under the control of<br \/>\nRaphael Dareau, was cruising around level 14 in a NovaNET<br \/>\ngame called Avatar<\/p>\n<p>[UNFINISHED]<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-right'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-14112 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='14112' data-nonce='715e311f58' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Like' \/><span class='lc-14112 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div> <div class='status-14112 status align-right'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ZDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD? 3 Compliments Of =Purgatory BBS 3 3 (207)-866-2399 3 3 THE STORY OF SPAM VOLUME THREE&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[27],"class_list":["post-14112","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-othernonsense","tag-english","wpcat-7-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14112","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14112"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14112\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14113,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14112\/revisions\/14113"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14112"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14112"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.graviton.at\/letterswaplibrary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14112"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
