Happy Chanukah: 12/24 to 1/1/17 (Please see blog of 12/6/15) "I'm in Bangor and I spots this driver wearin a life jacket. I wonders what this guy knows that I don’t. So’s I looks up into the tax-ridden sky searchin for storm clouds -- almosts hits a cab. But, naw, nothin up there but the quickest way to Finland if you has a blimp. So, I shrugs my wee shoulders and figures: what-the-hell the pre-flood motorist is probably just a lucky bastard out for a beer. But, then I spots four women speedin recklessly after this guy in a beat up Audi -- So, heck, maybe the guy’s a good Muslim and his wives are gonna head him off before he makes it to a bar. Or maybe he’s a good Irish Catholic and his ex-wives are in hot pursuit of alimony. Or maybe it’s four good Rabbis chasin a moil. Huh? Well, sure enough I hears the religious ladies sing out: ‘Hold up fella, we have to have someone circumcised’ -- Whether Muslim, Christian, or Jew, the Irish fella in the life jacket answers up: 'No problem darlins pull over. I'm your man.'"

A carbuncle is a roiled mass of skin or a beautiful gem. The incredible gem is pictured in the logo below and at the bottom of the short story section...
Kevin O'Kendley is the owner of Carbuncle Moon, and the author of all original material -- cartoons, blogs, shorts, essays, articles -- on the website (there has been a very limited editorial input in some of my work). All quoted sources are noted. I am responsible for all posts. The only blogs not time-dated are those advertising nonprofits. All nonprofits are vetted, investigated, though after the summer of 2018 my vetting has lapsed: (6/1/21).
