Favoriting December 17, 2014: Gave two bucks to the Salvation Army bell ringer outside A&P. Wouldn't give me a receipt. What a scam. Gettin' me a Santa suit, a bucket on a tripod, and a school bell. Want a piece of that action.

I gather that "clambake" in this context is related to the use of "clam" in jazz performance, which (according to what Jean Shepherd said) is an off-note on a wind instrument, as in, "He hit a clam."
