Sam, Sam, Pick Oop Tha' Musket

“Sam is a repetitive, comic process that merely marks time: he gets nowhere, but then he doesn’t want to get anywhere. Although there is no possibility of any real change in Sam, he never stops changing: Sam stays there inside Sam, getting less and less like the rest of mankind and more and more like Sam, Sam squared, Sam cubed, Sam to the nth.”

Randall Jarrell (1914–1965) poet, critic, novelist, essayist

“An Unread Book”, p. 40
The Third Book of Criticism (1969)

“Oops! Sorry! I heard someone say “Roar” so it’s kinda went for it.”

“How'd you get in here?"
She raised her eyebrows. “You pick pockets.” Kat watched his hand fly to his back pocket. “I can pick locks. Looking for this?” she asked, holding up his wallet. “Oops. Maybe I can pick pockets too.”
