That's a shame. I don't know why people put those ugly things in their houses anyway, and they are a waste of hardwood. Whole forests are getting razed so people can make stupid vases out of the trees.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Those ugly fucking vases and all the other awful furniture. I think it is a status symbol to have as many dead trees as possible around the house.

Wow that's a bit harsh! I hardly think the child destroyed any forests and nobody deserves this! What a cunty thing to say.

I knocked over a HUGE Buddhist vase (or whatever you call that thing they load with incense sticks) while playing pool at one of the bars on Victory Hill in Sihanoukville. Called fireflies I think.

It was on a shelf near the pool table and my stick hit it as I took a shot. The whole thing came crashing down in a dust cloud.

They say it had been there for 5 years. Seems unlikely as it was in the worst possible place it could be.

I was supposed to do some prayers on my pillow when I got home, but naturally forgot.

Am I cursed now or something? They were horrified when it happened, but to be fair, it had no business being there right next to the pool table where patrons play drunken pool until the early morning.
