Correction:

From time to time, the staff here at Cynical_Bastard will post something that causes a few readers some discomfort. We certainly don’t want that to happen. That’s what Taco Bell is for.

Anyway, last week while compiling our F-List, somebody put the Amish in there. Lord knows which member of the staff did this. I’m thinking of making everyone stay late after blogging today as punishment.

Obviously, the Amish were not to supposed to be on that list.

It was supposed to be Druids.

We apologize to any Amish that were offended when they read that.

Things like this happen to me all the time …

One day last week I was doing a little cleaning up. I had the little duster thingy out and was going over some of the surfaces here to get rid of the dust. As I was running the duster over a nightstand I saw something shiny. But, my brain didn’t register that it was something shiny until the duster swept across it and sent it flying off the table.

Since I thought it was a needle or straight pin of some kind, I decided I need to find that thing before I stepped on and got stabbed sometime. So I got down on the floor and carefully ran my hand across the carpet and looked all over for it. I was just about to give up when once again I saw light reflect off of something. Turns out it was a little chunk of glass.

It must have been from when that golf ball came crashing through the window. Yes, that was like last year. Why do you ask?

Hey, it was a tiny little piece of glass that was caught up under the fan. It was easy to miss for so long. Anyway, the important thing is that I had it now and could throw it away. So I walked into the living room and tossed it into the trashcan.

But, as the little piece of glass was sailing through the air I noticed that there was a slight problem. It was too late though, the glass had left my hand.

It promptly bounced off a plastic 20 ounce Pepsi bottle and out of the trashcan and onto the floor.

I then spent the next 10 minutes on my hands and knees carefully searching for that damn piece of glass again. I finally found it and very carefully dropped it into the trash.

And, since it’s officially Christmas season now, I’ve decided to send out Christmas Cards for the first time ever. So, if you want a Christmas card from me, email your name and address to me at jayman3768 AT gmail DOT com.

They won’t be any fancy, custom made cards or anything like that. But, they will be personalized. So, that’s something.
