Oh, The Choices!

There has been talk in the past about how exactly Samois' name is spelled. Me having doled out the name, had the "ois" ending in mind, so it stuck like that, but there has been some controversey on what the true ending should be. With the specific grammar of a Korean Quebecois word I'm not sure, but below are some possible spellings. Let's debate or just let the man himself pick.

1. "Ois": The original, chosen because the man is from Quebec, making him Samois the Quebecois. This is also the ending of the word for month (mois)

2. "Oi": Another word with the same pronunciation as the above "mois" is of course "moi", meaning me. By the way, in the French dubbed version of Austin Powers, Mini Me is called Mini Moi. I couldn't make that up...

3. "Oit": I am staying on a street called Rue Saint Benoit.

4. "Oie": You know goose liver, that French delicacy foie gras? Maybe we can call him Samoie Gras.

More when I learn more French...

A bientot,
SF

Benoit Balls (Benwah Balls):
Balls of increasing size evenly spaced on a string that you tuck away in your (or your partner's) anus. Then, right when you're about to orgasm, and not a moment before, you gently pull the string thereby releasing the balls uno by uno. Benoit balls come in plastic and metal, from petite to gi-normous.

That's all.

Samoi. You can throw an accent on that if you want.

I have no preference, but the story of its genesis is never really an exciting one and usually leaves people wondering what the hell I'm talking about. I usually tell them people it came from back in th eday, like Sophomore year, listening to OutKast with Scottie......Big Boi and shit...maybe you can throw in the true genesis as it came from your brain Scott....
