Beatus Mauve suspiciously says in Morporkian with a Genuan accent: One does not always lug all their
holy items with them -- perhaps you forgot your shield at the party ultimeo night?  Worry not, Hat's
got you covered.  Even though it may not be as powerful shielding as you are used to, Hat's feathery
Minor Shield can stop most of the malicious force headed your way.  And that, my friend, is true.
Beatus Mauve piously asks in Morporkian with a Genuan accent: Sometimes planting a simple Haunting
in your foes' heads can solve a conflict even before it starts.  Let them ruffle each other's
feathers.  Don't get involved unless you have to.  Have a drink instead.  Words of true wisdom,
don't you think?

Beatus Mauve surprisingly asks with a Genuan accent: Even Hat has His day sometimes.  It is good
manners to ask Him how He is doing from time to time.  And whether you have been praising Him as He
deserves!  Do not forget about Devout Inquisition, which is exactly the ritual you should use for
this purpose.  It is similar to meditating on obsecration, or mooing as some like to call it;
however, this is not as exhausting and is more portable!  Ahem.  Did it make any sense to you?

Beatus Mauve suspiciously says with a Genuan accent: Reaching the deep understanding of fellow party-
goers can sometimes be achieved only from within.  Seeing the world through their eyes is often more
powerful than any meditation or debate.  To reach the enlightenment, Hat empowers His flock with
Parasitic Vision, a unique, definitely not an offensive power.  Really.  You can't possibly argue
about this.

You say: Spam is a brand of canned precooked meat products made by Hormel Foods Corporation. It was
first introduced in 1937 and gained popularity worldwide after its use during World War II.[1] By
2003, Spam was sold in 41 countries on six continents and trademarked in over 100 countries.[2] In
2007, the seven billionth can of Spam was sold.[3]
You say: According to its label, Spam's basic ingredients are pork shoulder meat, with ham meat
added, salt, water, modified potato starch as a binder, sugar, and sodium nitrite as a preservative.
Natural gelatin forms during cooking in its tins on the production line.[4]
Queued command: say By the early 1970s the name "Spam" was often misused to describe any tinned meat
product containing pork, such as pork luncheon meat. With expansion in communications technology, it
became the subject of urban legends about mystery meat and other appearances in pop culture.[5] Most
notable was a Monty Python sketch portraying Spam as both ubiquitous and inescapable,
characteristics which lent to its name being borrowed for unsolicited electronic messages,
especially spam email.[6]
Queued command: say Spam was introduced by Hormel in 1937. Ken Daigneau, brother of a company
executive, won a 100 prize that year in a competition to name the new item.[3] Hormel claims that
the meaning of the name "is known by only a small circle of former Hormel Foods executives", but
popular beliefs are that the name is an abbreviation of "spiced ham" or "shoulders of pork and ham".
[7] Another popular explanation is that Spam is an acronym standing for "Specially Processed
American Meat".[8]
Queued command: say The difficulty of delivering fresh meat to the front during World War II saw
Spam become a ubiquitous part of the U.S. soldier's diet. It became variously referred to as "ham
that didn't pass its physical," "meatloaf without basic training",[1] and "Special Army Meat". Over
150 million pounds of Spam were purchased by the military before the war’s end.[9]
