An expression of disbelief, annoyance, inquiry, contempt, shock, and elitism, among other things.

This word is best characterized by the image of a rich industrialist, bedecked in a fine silk top hat and monocle, sipping fine wine. This man of superb and discerning taste blows out his luxuirous mustache in a bold and resonant rush of sound "Harum!"

The exact meaning of this word can and will change subtly depending on the mood of its creator
"What did you think about the latest vaudeville performance by Eazy-E and the Trapeezyz?"

"Harum! It was barely worth my time!"

Harum Scarum 

1. Film starring Elvis Presley released in 1965, in which the popular singer travels to the Middle-East and is forced to assassinate people. Generally considered to be one of the entertainer's weaker movies.

2. Anarchic and mythological war of the sexes as depicted in Daniel Clowes' graphic novel, 'Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron'. In the book members of the female sex, led by the charismatic naturist Godfrey, rise up and begin using terrorist acts to subvert male authority. Eventually they storm the White House and hold the president ransom. While not the main focus of the comic it is nonetheless quite a spooky sub-plot.

Procol Harum 

Procol Harum was a British Rock/Psychedelic/Progressive band that was formed in the early 1960s. They drew attention with their #1 hit single "A Whiter Shade of Pale", though over time their success declined and they obtained a large cult following.

After the success of their initial studio work, they decided to tour, with their first show being the opening act for Jimi Hendrix in 1967.

The Original (Classical) lineup consisted of Gary Brooker (piano and lead vocals), Robin Trower (guitar), Matthew Fisher (organ), David Knights (bass), B.J. Wilson (drums), and Keith Reid (lyricist), though there were many, many lineup changes before they broke up in 1977.

Point of interest: Procol Harum's "A Whiter Shade of Pale" tied with Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" for Best British Pop Single 1952-1977.
Bill: Man, do you want to listen to some good music?

Dave: Yeah man.

Bill: I'll break out the Procol Harum

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.
