wow, the weather advisory was right!
We're under a lot of snow. It
looks pretty. I'm sure I'll be cursing it on my way to work though.
I'd also like to use this opportunity to give a "shout out" to my soon to be ex-roomie Eric. Thanks for putting up with my silliness. I would like the world to know this about him: After four months, I think he only left the toilet seat up 2 times. He'll make some woman very happy someday. Hell, we'll probably see each other around more now that I'm moving out ;)

Nothing too interesting...
Neh, not much to report here. Cleaned up the dildo section at work yesterday, and rearranged the nipple clamps in order of lite pressure to high endurance. No, I've never used nipple clamps myself.

OH MY GODS!! WEATHER ADVISORY!
...Winter Storm Watch For Wednesday Afternoon Through Thursday Afternoon...
Snow will begin to fall across northeast and north central Illinois Wednesday afternoon. The snow may mix with sleet...before changing over to freezing rain Wednesday evening. The freezing rain is expected to continue through the night...possibly mixing with rain before ending Thursday. There is a potential for a significant amount of ice accumulation Wednesday night.
Even though nobody who said they might show up did...
I had a lovely night at the Hideout last night. Made some new friends, and enjoyed Leroy Bach solo (Edward Burch was getting his eyes checked). Had only 3 PBRs (would have had only 2, but I was actually bought a beer) which could hardly qualify as drinking.

Comments on the poll as to why people visit samorama.com:

"the dedication this site has to freeing winona ryder from her captors."
"My weeping cock."
"wacker? I hardly know her!"
"this site rules!! You go Sam"
Congrats to whomever said sam-o-rama is hot, you have won a date with me :P
New Poll should be up soon.
Top Ten Thrift Store Records in the US
Go into any thrift store in the US, I guarantee you they will have at least
half of these records:
1.Best of Bread - Bread
2.Pieces of Eight - Styx
3.Year of the Cat - Al Stewart
4.Frampton Comes Alive - Peter Frampton
5.Live at Budokon - Cheap Trick
6.Clam Dip and Other Delights - Herb Albert
7.Anything by the Carpenters
8.Anything by Hall and Oats
9. Anything by Chicago (usualy 16)
10. Anything by Emerson Lake and Palmer
So I went out to procure a copy of the
Best of Bread for a friend, after having the discussion of this list. What did I find?
Best of Bread TWO. Did Bread REALLY warrant TWO volumes of greatest hits? So I bought it for him anyway. And a copy of that Fleetwood Mac / Tesla album. But that's another story...

oh my dear gods...
My old friend from high school, Eric, made this for me. I really can't say anything else about it, except I'm deeply honored. Hey Eric, you were in one of my prom pictures...remember that?
Prepare for hours of enjoyment.

I met the paperboy this morning
He was scared of me.
I really should not drink anymore. I apologize to anyone who was involved last nite/morning, including the scared paperboy. On an unrelated note there hasn't been a whole lot of pictures on here lately because tripod is having some issues. So just imagine the now playing image has changed to the cover of
Gold by Ryan Adams. Today is an amazingly beautiful day. It's distracting me. I want to run around nekid down Broadway. Well, I guess a number of things are distracting me. People's tongues for instance. If this has held anyones interest it's a miracle. I'm losing my touch. I need to post something good...hold on a sec, I'll be right back.

me update
Managed to barely get into sold out show last nite. Had a time, the show was good but the music didn't mix well with my funk, as in bad mood, not 70s stuff. but good weather today cheered me up. so...
I'm just so annoyed, mainly with myself and how I react or fail to react to other people who I may be "interested" in. when there's just all these little uncertainties preventing you from doing anything that may lead to something more. Was that vague enough? sure hope so.

Open Letter to Janeane Garofalo
Hi Janeane. I see you're going to be in Chicago in a few months. I think you are very cool and would like to hang out with you. We can go to the Ferris Wheel at Navy Pier and eat cotton candy. Then maybe we can attend a taping of Jerry Springer. I'm open for suggestions, of course. Just let me know!
Sincerely,
Sam, your biggest fan
Recycling
Wilco should make me feel better. Selling dildos should make me feel better. I'll feel all better for the Handsome Family show tonite.
Cover your ears for a moment...

Was a bit shocked to see in bold red letters "advisory" on the weather thing down on my page. I click on it and it tells me "For north central and northeast Illinois and northwest Indiana...no hazardous weather today or tonight". that was the advisory.
How did Chokk get all the questions on my quiz? lucky guess?
Chicago had 666 murders last year...Creepy.

Aye, Caramba!
Decided to test the "Spanish Fly" product that we sell. Exceeded the safe recommended dose of 10 drops by like 10x that amount. Do not feel noticably more horny. Am a little suspect of the product anyway as it doesn't list ingredients and is only $4.95 for a really large bottle.

ouch update and the big O
Am now convinced that I do not have a concussion. I seem to exhibit symptoms of concussion everyday. On a completely unrelated note, I am reading a book we sell at work, Lou Pagets'
The Big O. This book is not about Oprah Winfrey, like I previously was lead to believe. Of course, why our store would sell a book on Oprah is beyond me. I have learned, however, that a woman CAN have 10 DIFFERENT kinds of orgasms.Not that she does, hmph. Also, this book recommended our store, based on the fact that we have employees that "look like you and I". Well, I certainly do look like I, and work there!

ouch part 2
Apparantly my head injury occurred when Jay Bennett found out samorama.com was not speculated to be
his favorite website when he showed it to Jeff Tweedy first. He hauled off and wacked me with his ax (guitar).
The Real World
Thank the gods they are GONE!
I am
only watching this because its in my backyard, and while I never had an encounter with the 'kids' many people I know did. They seem like a typically annoying conflicted bunch. oh joy.
btw, saw a schnauzer in a sweater today. woohoo!
ouch
I have a giant ugly knot on my forehead. I don't remember exactly how it got there. I woke up still drunk. No more partying for a really long time. I think I remember the Jay Bennett concert being good though.

Wilco announces 2 new members...
That picture was taken at Wilco HQ out near Tinley Park, BTW.
that is the 2 new "unofficial members" BJ Olsen, on pedal steel and Mac Macclesby, on bassoon.
Don't say I never gave you anything...
Today sees the launch of mp3-o-rama. The initital offering is by the fabulous band the Hamilton Electric featuring their soon to be hit song "the Ballad of Rue Lafayette". Please pay close attention to their fabulous bass player, Sandi DeMeo, who can perhaps provide me with more biographical info on this band?

is now in effect. tell all your friends, enemies, wackers...

1000 hits?
wow, thanks, and that's only in the few weeks since I've been counting. Sorry for the lack of great content, pictures etc, but things are a bit hectic in Sam-o-rama land. I promise something good really soon. They want to take pics of us in slave gear at work, for an employee chart, so maybe if you're lucky (or unlucky) I'll share.
Did go out with my best friend from Florida's (Patti) husband (Shawn) and his collegue (Andre) who are here on business, and conned them into buying me drinks all night. Don't worry Patti, I got Shaun to buy you a REALLY NICE gift from the store. heh heh.

New Poll!
So I wasn't able to get my hands on a .xxx domain. The second place winner, samorama.com will be used and should be active in a few days. Meanwhile, vote in the new oh so fun poll!
that was quick!
The Domain has been paid for by a single customer!
Open for Business!
The Sam-o-Rama Store is now open for business. The first $15 made will buy the domain name on the items, so they will be accurate. Buy now, buy for your friends, your enemies, all the Fokkers and Wackers you know!

Update and stuff...
Roommate search going reasonably well, considering I have been actively searching only since yesterday.
I'm toying with the idea of selling t-shirts to pay for sam-o-rama endeavors, such as building my own computer. I have been watching enough Mcgyuver reruns that I think I can do so with a few potato chips and an old motherboard.

Where I've Been and Product Endorsement
Went to a bar Thursday, had a couple drinks. Went to someone's house @ 4am, had some shots. Stayed up. Friday nite had half cheap bottle of Burgandy, bunch of beers, vodka.

The Meaning of Crunchpop
If you've noticed the current domain you may be thinking "huh"? or as one poll respondant wrote "i don't even know what 'crunchpop' means but it sounds like breakfast cereal and as ogden nash said, "freedom is a breakfast food." "
it was the name of a 'zine I was going to with an ex. So I had this tripod account, and used it. Now, this site doesn't have much to do with the original purpose of crunchpop, so that is why I was thinking of getting the domain samorama.com
so vote in the poll, and tell me what you think.
sniffle sniffle
I fear I'm getting a cold. I'm snorting the
Zicam like there's no tommorow, and loading up on Wal-phed, Walgreen's value version of Sudafed. Belle and Sebastian is good cold music. Not too rocking, but not too mellow to lure me to bed in a Wal-phed enduced trance. Thank goodness I'm off tomorow, I wouldn't want to be showing someone a dildo and sneeze on it. It's just not courteous.
Update
The Zicam worked, my sniffles are gone.

Domain Name for the Site
Apparantly there's already
a samorama.org out there, not that they seem to be doing much. So I'm not sure if I should get the samorama.com name, or crunchpop.com or sam-or-motorcycleclub.com as register.com suggested as well.

does posting this mean this site will come up in Google searches for PORN??
I'm sure most of you have seen the Lego Porn site, but here Sooz and I have a three way with our Lego friend. The link to the orgininal site is underneath.

My Life is a Frikkin' Soap Opera
And if you are reading this, I bet you are somehow involved. I'm honestly listeing to Pet Sounds for the third day in a row, in between Eric's Dylan. I hit a co-worker with a two way dildo today for saying "Dylan sucks," whilst listening to "Like a Rolling Stone" at work. I can't sell sex whilst listening to Bob, but that doesn't mean he can make fun of him. Thanks oh so much, and now a word from our sponsors.

Poll Update
I find it hard to believe that the majority of reader of this page really want 2002 to be "A Sam Oddysee" but hey, if it's true, I'm here for you. Otherwise, keep voiting.
Eric Rules
While enjoying a quiet evening at home, the phone rings. Eric (my roomate) picks it up. I hear (paraphrased, since I didn't record the conversation):
"I'm fine thanks"...I'm awaiting his ususal "No I'm not interested" when instead I hear "no, that's crazy that's too much" after a long silence. "Look, $3.15 a week is WAY too much for 5 magazines. Times that by 52 weeks, that's a lot of money! I can order Rolling Stone, or any of those other ones you mentioned for no more than $20. And I don't care that I can change my mind on WHAT magazines, I'm old enough to KNOW what kind of magazines I want!! How do you live with yourself offering this "promotion"? Do you only sell this to people with no IQ?" ...then a bit more of a pause and "Good luck, have a nice night."
It was a truly brilliant moment.

oops.
The year has barely begun, and I've majorly screwed it up. I will invoke the spirit of Jeff Tweedy now.
You've been dealing with all of these feelings
Like they got you believing they have no meaning,
But they do
Your life's been stinking, your heart's been sinking,
And you're too busy thinking to stop
You blink and you're blue
Should've been in love
Should've been in love
Should've been in love
Your mind's been racing, your heart's been chasing,
And you might as well face it, time's wasting,
It's true
Your life's been stinking, your heart's been shrinking,
And you're too busy thinking to stop
You blink and you're blue
Should've been in love
Should've been in love
Should've been in love
I know how it goes,
So I just had to let you know I know
My life's been stinking, my heart's been shrinking,
And I'm too busy thinking to stop
I blink and you're gone
Should've been in love
Should've been in love
Should've been in love
