THE CRINGE

Have a laugh at my expense and watch how I cringe at a missed opportunity. That's life I suppose.

I hope, in the least, that there is a person out there with the opposite story, about "wow, one time I stumbled across these toy cars. Some lady was just getting rid of them." I never hear that story though!

Actually, my story would be sort of an inverse as well. It goes like this: "I keep collecting all these things, and no one throws them away, and none of them are worth anything!"

Comment by Mike O'Hare on March 12, 2010 at 4:07am: Point taken about Billy Da Bunny's comments. However, as this was meant to be just a light hearted sharing of my experiences maybe I should have put the word 'horror' in quotes. All things are relative and I'm well aware of what is happening 'out there.' Most importantly, I hope that those who watched were entertained by it. I entered this video because of the nature of this network and the fact that comics were involved. Everything expressed here is in the spirit of friendship and goodwill.

Thanks for the comment.

I like story telling, and I applaud your effort. But I'm not exactly shedding tears over this one. Cringe was a good word though. It's a cringing moment. A "d'oh!" moment. One of my grade school teachers had the same story, about his mother throwing away a $9,000 baseball card while he was away at camp. Oops. Annoying, but not horror.
