De’can’t any more, that’s for sure

You know that special beautiful tinkling sound that fine Austrian lead crystal makes when it shatters, differentiating it from, say, a Coke bottle?

Do you know that extra-super-special beautiful tinkling sound that $200 wine decanters, which you were going to sell on eBay, make when you step on them in sneakers?

Damn.  Aargh.  I need to clean my fucking floor.

    Why or why did you have such a valuable item on your floor to begin with?  I suppose it’s not just your floor you need to clean….

    Oh dear.

    I just came across an internet comment by you completely at random. Someone on Metafilter asked a question about vivid dreams, which caused someone else to mention sleep aids, which brought up a comment about “The Hag”, which prompted someone else to link to an article about it, and there you were.

    The internet is a smaller place than I’d previously thought.
