Lessons in Beermaking... Volume 1
A. "Stir 1 or 2 times gently" is -NOT- the same as picking up a carboy and shaking it back and forth 10 times.
B. When you find your airlock 6 feet away from you carboy the next morning, you might want to invest in a $1.00 blowoff tube.
C. Putting your carboy in a big plastic tub is decidedly a very, very good idea.
That's all for now 
I second "c" for sure, a $5 tub that fits both buckets and carboys will keep you from having to buy a $100 carpet cleaner and smelling curdled yeast for days while the carpet dries!
Haha yes, will also save your ceiling from getting an unfortunate fresh coat of hops 
don't sterilize your starter on the stove in one of your wife's nice pots for waaaayy to long as it turns into black tar and almost ruins the pot.
