PART ONE: The history of Spam

Question 12B: What was the original Spam and where did its name originate?

[Cspace]

It originated on the third moon of the fourth planet orbiting Rigil. It (along with velcro and Mountain Dew) came to Earth as a result of the Roswell incident. It was believed to be a lubricant of some sort, but its composition was found to miraculously be edible. I'm not sure exactly how they figured that out.

As for the original name... I forgot.

You anticipated my next question. Two points for Callum. Also, Neraphym gets a bonus point for spamming.

Question Arthur: In the 'certain sketch by a certain comedy troupe', where were the characters and from whence did they come from?

[Neraphym]

The characters were on an intergalactic space cruiser en route from England to Germany, although they decided to take a shortcut around the Andromeda galaxy. Three of the members were from Canadia, and the rest aren't real. Actually, one of the remaining members is said to have spawned from a character drawn on page two of the Where's Waldo book. He was in a relationship with the wizard Whitebeard. He also invented the fifth toe.

Well, you see...

As the sketch was in fact a sketch and not a reality, the characters within it weren't real. However, the one who did the sketching in this comedy troupe was unimaginative and based the characters off real characters, though he changed the names numerous times and gave many of them undecidedly unattractive physical attributes.

One of the characters was a juggler thing or whatever with an unsightly mole that frequently travelled across his face from sketch to sketch, creeping out all who saw it with its movingness and ability to seemingly teleport from place to place. This character had a short temper and often lashed out at the other members of the troupe, often by throwing the things he juggled at them. This could result in oddly shaped stab wounds, burns, and dislocated joints.

One of the characters was a bearded lady, though I know not if the beard was one of those creepy physical attributes that were added in or if the person she was based off of had one too. She was quite scary, having a monobrow and a number of moles across her face and body that had hair sprouting out of them. Luckily, these moles were not prone to move when you weren't looking. She seemed to have a normal personality, except for how she came on too strong in relationships, quite effectively scaring off any man who remained after overcoming the shock of her appearance.

Another character, this was the troupe leader, was totally unable to perform any sort of duty or interesting thing. He attempted many things, including taming a lion with a chair -- unfortunately he used a collapsable beach chair which did not stay unfolded for long, eating fire -- this resulted in a number of scorches within his mouth and across his face, and making snakes come out of their baskets and waving around -- his flute playing sucked and the snake got angry. Unfortunately he did not die from this last attempt, though if it weren't for a tonic extracted from one of the bearded lady's moles, he would have.

The rest of the characters were unimportant and thus unnecessary to name, likely because they were all minor acts within the troupe.

Of course, within the sketch, they were not a troupe -- the story of how they met is quite interesting, but we shall reserve it for another time. As it was, they were all travelling together. At the time, they were in a carriage on their way to meet the grand tsar of Persia, though there is likely no such position to be held today. They came from a table in a bar in a district of a city in a province of a country on a continent in a planet of a solar system of a galaxy in the universe. We find them in the sketch all rather drunk, falling over eachother within the carriage -- I know not why they were standing, though -- and doing an assortment of things that would be considered quite silly in todays society. It was near this time that the bearded lady's moles began to explode in showers of debilitating goop and such that quickly drowned all the characters. They were all dead. The story ended there.

Bravo!
