Okay, here is a quick question, that's been bugging us since Midnight on the
Firing Line. When Londo approaches G'Kar, after finding out that the Narn were
responsable for the attack on Ragash III, G'Kar offers Mallari something called
... SPOO!. He also says it is quite fresh.
Well for months now we've been calling every unrecognizable food product
... Spoo (since my friends and I, eat in a dining hall this is actually more
often then one would think).

So, Joe to end our confusion ... please enlighten us ...

What is Spoo?

Having dined in the lovely Marriott (aka "Marmott") cafeteria here on the UI
campus, I sympathize.

To quote The Man, from various files in my b5 directory:

LOL
Ah, I see the food in Binghamton's dining halls has, if anything,
got worse. On the other hand, maybe the food was just better than
the food in my undergrad school.

jms once wrote (without context that I was able to recover):

Boy, the most obscure reference in the bunch...yeah, I slipped some spoo
in there once. A couple of real cute (as in wanna drop a truck on them
cute) elf-types offer Skeletor a bowl of Spoo. His reply: (in a mincing
tone to start) "No, I don't want any SPOOOOOOO. I *hate* Spoo. (beat)
And I don't even know what Spoo IS."
