I love getting junk mail, unlike many people. My name, in a variety
of fractured forms has appeared on mailing lists for the usual catalogues,
seed companies, camping and fishing suppliers, realtors, insurance men, and
that ilk, but every once in awhile, I get mail that makes me wonder how
I got on the list, how the list got to the people who sent me the mail,
and whether my wife and dog and I are in danger of being brutally raped,
burnt with cigarettes in private places, and quartered before our bodies are
spread over east county. You know, soldier of fortune baloney, Aunt Martha's
Lace Emporium, Healthy Candies made from Salmon. Well, I got an item
yesterday. I suppose I got it because in some small way I have interested
myself in arcana and leave my intelligence open for the experience of life.
What really happened is that I probably bought a book on the tarot sometime
and those folks thought they had a chain sale.

AMOK appears to be a head shop/libertarian bookstore/wacko emporium -- I wouldn't be surprised to find Antero Alli hanging around in the woodwork there . . .
