You know, I was, I was looking for things events today in Madison and Rob Roberts actually
made a post about this.
No.
No.
And he was at the 30th annual Spam Carveen Festival here in Madison.
Why does that not surprise me that he would be there?
A Spam Carveen Festival.
And you're talking about the meat in the can.

That's very popular in Hawaii, apparently.
Well, you could put pineapple on it.
I don't know much about this, but here's what I know.
Carve things, animals, shapes, political people.
Oh, interesting.
Not a Spam.
And do they make the Spam in bigger chunks because Spam is tiny, typically.
Okay.
I asked AI about this festival and here's what it said.
In Madison, Wisconsin, Spam Carveen contest is a long-running annual event that celebrates
creativity and enthusiasm through the medium of Spam, of Spam Carveen.
And the 2024 contest will take place today.
And let's see here's some info.
The guy who's been doing it, he's been doing it since 1994.
Okay.
The categories contestants can compete in categories such as artistic humorous,
with props, without props, and bizarre.
And the prizes, past winners have received Spam branded prizes such as Spam Portable Amplifiers,
Spam flavored lip balm, and Spam Joe, a banjo made from Spam.
And so there's no rules for the contest, but the sculpture must be 90% Spam.
And it's typically a private event.
So there's only like 50 or 75 participants.
And eating Spam is discouraged.
Eating Spam is strongly discouraged, but participants can take pictures of their creations.
You know Rob, I bet he did, and we're going to have to get some of those photos now to share.
I want to know, I want to know what Rob Roberts actually carved something out of Spam.
I want to know who does Spam lip balm.
First spam carving in general.
I can understand like carving with the lip balm home.

But Spam, if I remember, I can, I can, I can, apparently Spam saved the United States
