Day 4: Round up the Glass

Greetings, Slob Pirates! It's Thursday, which I have decided for alliterative reasons shall be Trash (and Recycling) Day. I'm not even sure when the trash guy comes around here... Anyway.
In future weeks (maybe next month?), I'm hoping to have myself all on top of stuff and can just go ahead and take out all the trash and recycling all in one go, but this week it would take all day. If you are for some reason following along, that is probably the case for you too. Today we are tortoise pirates who shall slowly and sneakily win the cleaning race. Or would you prefer slow and sneaky pirate ninjas? TOO BAD, that's a logical impossibility.
This is you.
So, tortoise, what you shall do is go forth and collect glass of all kinds. Well, the used kind, mainly. If your area recycles, recycle! We're pirates, not ruffians. Mine doesn't, sadly. At any rate, gather up all the glass containers you can find and dispose of them. Easy task for today, right?

...Right...


Achievement: It will be tempting to stuff as many bottles and jars into your arms as possible, but, like Icarus, the higher you climb, the faster you will fall. Reach for glory, but do not overstep yourself, or you will know the heart stopping sound of your aspirations shattering on the deck.
P.S. Did you know that some vacuum cleaners take glass shards, turn them into high velocity mini-daggers, and shoot them in all directions, usually right into your vulnerable foot?

Now you do.
