Hotel Porn #4
Porn titles crack me up. We recently stayed at the Portland Marriott Downtown Waterfront. Before I started checking Hotel Porn titles regularly, I had no idea that many hotels, across various chains have the exact same films. What a great company to work for — the one who sells porn to hotels. Here are the best (new) porn titles from the Marriott in Portland:
- Lick My Punk Rock Pu$$y — What makes it Punk Rock? A Mohawk?
- TITTYPalooza — The -palooza suffix makes everything better.
- Big Dick in a Latina Chick — Everyone loves a stuffed taco, right?
- SexSomnia — “With SexSomnia, nothing is real. Everything is far away. Everything is a copy of a copy of a copy.
- SUPERCougar: In HD — Is HD really necessary?
- MILFgasms — Gross
- My Mom’s a Whore — Who is filming this scenario? The “Whore’s” son?

Where do you stay when you are visiting Portland? Do you find comfort in staying in a hotel that is pretty much the same at every location, no matter the City?

PNW Roadtrip: Oregon Coast Drive: Tillamook, Cannon Beach, Seaside
After Lil Sambo’s for pancakes, we leave Lincoln City heading north, with our ultimate goal of reaching Portland before dinner time. We continued up Highway 101 snaking along the coast line with plans to stop in Tillamook (yes, to see the cheese factory) then work our way up to Cannon Beach then to Seaside.
Traffic was light and it took us about an hour to get to Tillamook. If you aren’t familiar with Tillamook Cheese, you are missing out. I, of course, never had visited this place before, despite the fact that I grew up a mere 50 miles from it. Had to check it off my list while we were here though.
The tour…well, really isn’t a tour. There are some posters lining the walls telling the history, some huge windows looking out onto the factory floor, a queue to sample 6 difference cheddar cheese flavors (FYI, don’t try the garlic chili pepper cheese – it is a bit overpowering and really stays with you for the rest of the day.
The factory also has a small restaurant where you can get burgers and grilled cheese (of course) and an ice cream shop. Yes, we did sample some Tillamook ice cream. I took the most logical route and had a sampling of 5 different flavors, while MS stuck to the Marionberry Pie flavor.
This tour is something you just have to do if you live in the area or are driving through. We spent no more than 30 minutes on site and the “tour” itself was free. Go and do it.
After leaving the factory we continue north on Highway 101 making our way to Cannon Beach. There are some beautiful homes along the water front. The families of several college friends have homes in Cannon Beach — which is just about an hour and a half from Portland, making it a nice weekend getaway. I didn’t have anything I wanted to see in Canon Beach other than the ocean, the beach and to show Mike Haystack Rock – which is the view of the Oregon coast most people think of. Plus, Haystack Rock plays an integral part in the movie The Goonies.
The drive along the coast is quite beautiful. The pictures might look like we were there in late fall or winter, but no, it was the first week of August. You have to love the Oregon Coast in the summer.

Our trek continues to Seaside, again, where we didn’t have anything in particular to see. We wanted to make a stop someplace, get out, stretch our legs and see if anything caught our eye. Seaside has a quaint little shopping strip with a carousel at one end and the ocean on the other end. We walked, bought some chocolate, watched the carousel, walked to the beach and watched some teens play beach volleyball, while Christian music blared from large speakers brought to the beach. I’ll see if I can upload a video of that for you all!
After spending about 45 minutes in Seaside, we got back into the rented Subaru and began working our way to Portland. The trip from Seaside to the City takes about an hour and a half, but based on our timing, we’d be arriving in Portland right during rush hour, so as we made it into the City limits, I made an executive decision and had us pull off and visit the Japanese Gardens and the International Rose Test Garden. More on that in our next installment.
Are you drawn to the water? Do you love the beach/coast? Does the sight of Haystack Rock want you to gather 5 of your closest friends and set out on an adventure to save your neighborhood? When traveling do you change your route so you can visit a cheese factory?

PNW Roadtrip: Lil Sambo’s: Lincoln City, OR
Growing up, we would always stop at a breakfast place right along Highway 101 in Lincoln City. When I was a kid, the restaurant was called Little Black Sambo’s. This was taken from the Helen Bannerman’s book about an Indian boy who was given new clothes then while walking through the jungle was basically mugged by four separate tigers who stole his clothes. The tigers eventually fought each other and after running around a tree, the tigers turned into butter (for some reason). Little Black Sambo’s mother then made pancakes for the family with the butter. Little Black Sambo did get his clothes back too. You can read the book here.
Of course the restaurant, currently called “Lil Sambo’s” use to be called Little Black Sambo’s. Not surprisingly, it’s a breakfast joint that serves pancakes. I would love coming here as a child, so our final day in Lincoln City we had to stop.
The original restaurant burned to the ground in the early 2000s but was rebuilt on the same footings. This is really a local restaurant. Like in most small towns in America there was a group of senior citizens sitting in a couple booths, nursing cups of coffee and telling tales everyone at the table had heard before.
The walls (both inside and outside) are adorned with brightly colored wooden cut outs from the Little Black Sambo story – although some of these tigers seem much less menacing than the ones from the book.
We, of course, ordered pancakes and bacon for breakfast. I thought about getting the children’s order of 3, but instead got the regular order – 6. Way too many pancakes — but they were pretty damn good. They weren’t fancy, the pancakes were just good, well made, perfectly browned cakes, served with warm syrup. Plain. Simple. Good. You could also get local berries added to your pancakes (blueberries, Marion Berries, Black Berries, Strawberries, etc).
Is this a destination? No, not at all. If you are in or around Lincoln City and you want a reasonably priced breakfast with efficient service, tasty well prepared food with a hint of underlying racism, you must visit. I temper my last comment by saying again that this restaurant is based off of the children’s book (which I had a real copy of as a child) – not any lingering racial issues. Although it is interesting that they dropped the descriptor “Black” at some point in it’s recent past.
If I am in Lincoln City around breakfast time again, I will require that we stop here and have an enormous plate of pancakes — and you should too.
What is your favorite breakfast place in Lincoln City? Are you familiar with this book? Have you ever stumbled across a restaurant based on an obscure book from your childhood and just had to stop by and see what it’s about?
