* "SPAM CONTEST" by Taria (spam contest) 10, 10, 10 http://www.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=281162242 * "SPAM CONTEST" by Taria (Taria@aol.com). http://www.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=281162242 The job of the protagonist in this story is to promote spam; but the catch is that he works for Mr. Hormel himself. For those of you who don't know, Spam is the "meat" product that gave its name to the unwanted garbage that clutters your email boxes and newsgroups - not vice versa. Anyway, it seems that Mr. Hormel can't understand why he has been so vehemently rejected on the Internet. The story contains no sex - except by very indirect innuendo; but it's still a very legitimate and creative entry for Malinov's contest. I certainly enjoyed it!
