My sound on my pc has been playing up recently. For some reason I could get sound from Realplayer but not Mediaplayer nor anything off the internet (eg Youtube). Well - I could just hear something if I turned the sound up full.

So I fiddled about with the settings, but still no luck.

So I uninstalled the sound files and reinstalled them. Still no sound!

So I was at loss - what to do? Why no sound? Should I waste more time uninstalling and reinstalling? Pull my pc apart? take it to a shop?

Or should I check to see if the sound cables from the pc are properly connected into the sound system first?
D'OH!

So,what's something dumb you've done recently?

Not transferred out of "Freshman Seminar". It sucks. I wish I did band, but FS is a "required elective" :rolleyes:

I told the guy I like that I regularly sleep with communist dictators. I said it would have been really cool to be Jesus, not remembering the whole painful execution bit. I ran into the wall at the ice rink. I...well, I could go on. I really do a lot of stupid stuff. I should win an award.

making a fuse too short

i'm still awake at quarter to seven in the morining and i have a twelve hour shift tomorrow. that's pretty dumb. apart from that i'm actually feeling fairly smart at the moment. *is quietly smug* :P

Reading this thread ... >.>


:p

Sorry. You were asking for it.

Shit- where to start-
Had an affair with a guy who had a pregnant live-in girlfriend. Yes, I did come to my senses.
As for little things, I went out to a predawn breakfast with a friend last week. Stupid in the beginning, because the only reason I'm ever up at that time is because I haven't been to sleep yet and will probably not be at my best. Stupid in this case because when I got home I realized my T-shirt was on backwards. And inside out.

You can be happy at least that you remembered to put it on.

Were your shoes on the wrong feet too? :p

Y'know Boony, I was totally expecting to read you saying your dumb thing recently was sitting down to watch England play and hoping for a contest, not than a slaughter.

Fire!

i was like 8 and riding on the back of my dads quad in the forest, and he yelled over his shoulder 'DUCK!" and i was like 'WHERE??' just as a branch smacked me in the face.

Were your shoes on the wrong feet too? :pI was supposed to put shoes on?

Mainly I'm just happy it wasn't a place I go often and few people were there at 5am.

I was cooking something and some water spilled out of the pot and around the burner. I took a paper towel and tried to wipe the water away but the towel caught on fire so I just threw the flaming towel into a trashcan. After a few seconds I realized what I did was stupid and turned around to see the trashcan on fire.

You're right, I should have! :p

I have one of those single-bunk bunk beds, whereapon my computer is located underneath the sole bunk.
I think I've lost count of how many times I've got up and cracked my head on the bed above me...

Have you got many wickets with the reverse swing yorker? I bowled leg spin when I used to play, but I was pretty crap at it. Too many full tosses.

Yeah i've got a few, but it relly puts doubt in the minds of the batsman and because it is so late it keeps them on the back foot.
One of the worst things for me today was bowling a ball beating the batsman with a bit of extra pace but it didn't swing, it missed the stumps by a balls width.

Best things, hitting a 4 off of my hip( it didn't actually hit my hip, i'm sure you know what i mean), taking a catch at silly mid off(???, it was backwards of a bat pad position) one handed and to my left) and getting 2 off of the last ball of the innings, it went down to a deep backwards point who was on the boundary and appeared not to be walking in, i probably should of been run out for the second but i got in easily.

er forgetting in the heat of it that other people have keys to the front door

We do confuse Americans.
'We' do play Cricket.

Cricket is correct.
We are not talking about Grasshoppers either.;)

At 20 to 1 in the morning?o_O
I think not!
*Actually a game of moonlight Cricket would be quite neat if one used a glow in the dark bat, wickets, ball and boundary line and of course had some kick arse lights all around the ground.

You're learning about new stuff though, so that's good. You can always impress any Poms, Aussies, Kiwis, etc, that you meet with your extensive knowledge of obscure cricket terminology.

playing D&D.

my Cleric was trying to hit a goblin with his mace. needed a 12 to hit.

I rolled a 4
then I rolled a 9
then I rolled an 8
then I rolled a 10
then I rolled another 9
then I rolled a 7

This kept up for the entire combat. me not rolling above a 10.

finally the party's theif backstabbed the goblin and killed it. as my now humiliated Cleric was patching up everyone's wounds... mine included... I took a closer look at the dice.

the f*#king thing was a double ten-sider. (bascially it looks like a 20 side dice, but only goes to 10... twice.)

I locked by keys in my office... so I had to walk across the hospital to my other office. there I grabbed the spare keys, walked all the way back, opened my office and grabbed my tools and left.

locking the spare keys inside...

I doubly agree, mostly because it is a brilliant idea and partly because i suggested it.
There used to be a bit of Day/Night Cricket played at club level around here.

My Dad locked his keys in the house once while on his way to an important meeting. He could have gone to our nearby school and gotten the keys from my sister or I. He could have drpped by my step-mom's office and gotten a spare set.(they worked at the same company, different departments)
Instead he punched through a front window to unlock it and crawl through. He cut his hand so badly he had to go to the emergency room and get stitches. He missed his meeting.

Not asked out the girl I like. Well, asking her out would be pretty dumb. Or even thought about her. I mean, she moved, I'll never see her again, and it all ends happily.
