I'm Moving!
Not websites or anything, just switching homes. Basically moving down the street. Not too far, but still a major pain in the ass. So, I might be away for a little while, moving, cleaning, organizing, etc. Ta ta!

Most of the Time I'm Smart, but Sometimes I'm Very, Very Dumb
Do you ever have those moments when you scream at yourself, "You iiiiiiidiot!"? I was reminded of one the other day.
You know how new deodorant comes with that clear plastic thing under the lid? I'm assuming it's so people don't use the deodorant in the store. That clear plastic thing has a ridge that sticks up. Well, up until less than a year ago, I would always struggle to pull that little plastic thing off. It's so hard to grasp! Why do they make it like that?!?! And then, 17 or 18 years into deodorant wearing, I realized you can just raise the deodorant and the plastic thing basically falls off.
Chuckling to myself, I remembered a hilarious episode of This American Life that featured, among other things, a person who thought unicorns were real. In college. Just made it through life somehow, never realizing that they are a fantasy creature. Anyway, listen to it here because it's real funny.
WHAT'S THE DUMBEST THING YOU'VE EVER DONE OR THOUGHT/BELIEVED?

Holy Crap! Read my blog more so no one else makes the same googling error I did.
So, last night, after posting, I was laying around watching tv and playing on my iPhone. I was wondering what my new blog looked like on my phone. Too lazy to type out the URL, I googled "Tammy Pajamas." And stumbled upon something horribly frightening. I thought it was weird and violent child porn (is there NOT weird and violent child porn?), but then came to find out that it's actually a fetish category that involves adults acting like children and getting spanked a lot for being bad. Other punishments include butt plugs. A lot of talk of "bottoms" in general. Not bottoms like the receptive partner in anal sex, but bottoms like the 1950s-Dick-and-Jane-this-is-how-we-say-it-the-nice-way-butts.
Anyway, check it out here, sickos.
*This reminds me of the time when I was looking for small plastic animals to put in the terraria that I sometimes make. I googled "plastic animals" or something and was directed to an eBay posting for adult diapers. But, not like Depends. Like, baby diapers that were big enough for adults to wear because they're into that kind of thing. They had animals on them. And were advertised as making a lot of noise (because diaper noises are good for people that like adults in diapers). Ah, the interwebs and accidental googling...
Now, to totally change topics....
A word about my name. A year or two or somewhere in between ago, I was in NYC visiting some loved ones. We were at a bar, we sat outside. There was a sign advertising the DJ that evening, one Sammy Bananas. Drunk on life—and beer—we started making a lot of Sammy Bananas jokes. We never actually saw SB. Not that I recall anyway. But we were sure he had a moustache and, for a while, at least, we were sure he was of South Indian descent. The next day, we made jokes about having been impregnated by Sammy Bananas. We really just liked saying the name. Cut forward a few months. I'm on iChat and see that one of my friends has his status set to the thing where it tells what you're listening to. AND HE'S LISTENING TO SAMMY BANANAS! I honestly didn't really believe SB was a real person. But he is. And he has a myspace page. And a moustache! (But he's not Indian.) Check him out. Not really my thing. But I still love his name. And therefore totally ripped it off.
Here's your question:
WHAT'S THE WEIRDEST THING YOU EVER STUMBLED UPON ON THE INTERNET?

Welcome Back to Me!
I had another blog, once ago. It's been a while since I've written in it. I was thinking I wanted to start another blog, but couldn't think of anything good. So, here you have it: Tammy Pajamas.
All I've really decided is that I'll probably ask a question at the end of posts and hopefully people will answer it in the comments. But if no one participates, I'm abandoning that gimmick.
So, what do you think of my name on here? I just invented it as my DJ name. Earlier today, via Facebook (FB) comment chatter, I/we came up with my rockstar name: Jeebus Jerboa.
WHAT'S YOUR ROCK STAR NAME?
