Groan.. (I've just officially become jaded)

Just connect the ish to the whatever........

If you are just interested in recording vocals, this might not be a bad idea

You'll bypass the need for a preamp and computer interface

in theory you could connect it to a cable, then to a XLR-male 1/4 " adaptor, then to a 1/4' to 1/8' adaptor, and then you could 'in theory' record .. but itll probably sound like shit..
that samson usb mic should work o.k.
or else get a usb 2 input breakout box or something
ie. the m-audio fasttrack (cheapest i found) http://www.zzounds.com/a--2676837/item--MDOFASTTRACK

Which expensive mics? The answer is probably no. Microphones need to be hooked up to preamps, which need to be hooked up to a interface (although in a pinch you can use you "line in" on your stock soundcard, but it'll sound like shit) which then hooks up to your computer (USB, Firewire, or PCI). The Samson mic I suggested is unique in that it is a mic, preamp, and interface all in one package.
