"Surely, when I dropped the wine glass and it shattered ...

[Recursion]

... horrifically sharp fragments couldn't have launched themselves all the way into that corner, into which I will now step barefoot", and other tales of hubris, playing live tonight, in Recursion's kitchen. The show begins about 45 seconds ago. Come one, come all.

1. Please be careful, my dear Recursion!

You might be surprised at just how far those little sharp glass fragments can travel...

[mr_lebowski]

2. Bet you're feeling super-smart right about now, eh?

Name a stupid thing to do ... and I'm pretty sure I've done it, so I feel ya ...

3. Don't worry

The glass was sterile from regular exposure to wine. No need to clean and dress the cut. It’ll do fine on its own.

4. A Tale of Hubris and Blood. And, don't call me Surely.

Maybe it's time for plastic wine glasses and boxed wines.

9. Mon DIEU!!!

12. It's catching on here, slowly

Some of the more rebellious young vintners are doing it for the shock value.

5. The barefoot part is hubristic, yes, so put on some loafers

You won't feel nearly as bad, and you won't need stitches.

[elleng]

6. PLEASE be well!

I'm always surprised how far things launch!

[LuckyCharms]

10. Take it from me...pleassseeee

Use a flashlight to scan every square inch of that floor. Make sure your eyes are as close as you can get them to the floor level without actually leaving your feet (which have shoes on of course) to do so. Look for the sparkle as the light catches the glass.

Don't ask me how I know.

11. oh yes it could

there is another shard in the rug in another room, as well - carried there stuck to the bottom of a shoe then sheathed into the fibers of the rug. waiting.

13. Hardwood, fortunately

The dog hates it (zero traction, and he's perfectly aware we're constantly laughing at him as he does a Wile E Coyote running-in-place), but it does make it easier to clean.

14. It's Paris, so there's probably an emergency room

dedicated specifically to wineglass-related injuries within hobbling distance.
