This is a question Pointless Experiments

Pavlov's Frog writes: I once spent 20 minutes with my eyes closed to see what it was like being blind. I smashed my knee on the kitchen cupboard, and decided I'd be better off deaf as you can still watch television.

*drifts vagely off topic*
But as it's Wednesday who cares.

At work I devise pointless games/experiments to keep me busy, today it is: How many place names can be slightly amended to include my name.

So far I have Sam Diego, Amstersam, Vietsam and Consamtinople.

If you're bored at work feel free to think of some more or places with your name in. I think I feel slightly too pleased when I think of another one.
