I hated having the teacher who was a chain smoker. He smelt BAD.

my history teacher from middle school drank gallons of coffee. he had 3 boxes of coffee from dunkin donuts every day. he'd have gone through 1 by second period. classroom smelled god awful, and he was no better. I love coffee, but i cant stand when someone smells like they bathe in it.

Oh man. I have one teacher this year who's a stoner and my friend has three who are alcoholics. I went in there once and heard this conversation:

Girl1: It's my birthday!
Teacher: Are you turning 21?
Girl1: No.
Teacher: Then I don't care.
Girl2: Why not?
Teacher: Because the more other people drink the more attractive I look.

He's a pretty funny guy when you get over the drunkness.

hehe, i remember one of my teachers who was a chain smoker for ciggys, i used to go with him behind the school and smoke with him. Principal almost found out, but i was able to drop it and step on it fast, and he made up an excuse that i was helping him on a project in class. needless to say we had to produce something for him, but because i was the only person in his class who could manipulate computers with linux, twas rather easy.

Well, for ours, we just piss him off real bad so he goes to leave the class room to go smoke in his card. Gets you a good 30-50 minute break from class.

None of my teachers are smokers. I do have one that randomly leaves, though. For like an hour of class. He also plays bass in a metal band. He's pretty much the worst teacher ever.

Ah, another stupid thing i did, in middle school, someone girl stepped on the back of my shoe chasing another girl from the class, got sent flying roughly 15 feet forward making a turkey noise somehow. Someone said i flipped a couple times along the way, but i dont remember the earth spinning. Im lying on the ground shouting F*$K over and over, a couple friends laughing, another friend saying i should stop saying that because ill get in trouble. Needless to say i didnt get in trouble, but without realizing the coach was coming running to me to see what happened, i managed to get a couple clean shots with my foot into his family jewels. He was never the same, ended up with a high pitched voice for a couple weeks.

Wow. That's funny. But not funny, my buddy's uncle almost died from getting kicked in the balls.

My middle school P.E. teacher chewed tobacco all the time, and had three Majors and two Masters degrees. And he teaches P.E.

And everyone could see the brown wet patch in my light blue speedos..
Which, I might add, was leaking.

No, he was probably one of the smartest teachers there. He got to sit around all day and do practically nothing.

why did you let it out, if you had to go that bad, find the can, if no toilets around, hop in the ocean, lose the speedos, and let it rip. Dont just crap yourself for the sake of crapping yourself

I don't get many web adverts, and no pop-ups. But all the banners I get here are for the Escapist show.

Dumbest things I did today, install a dimmer and not kill the power on the circuit breaker, that was a fun flight.

Other thing, infecting my computer with Antivirus 2009 because I clicked on a rogue link. Running scans as we speak

Possibly my soon-to-be dumbest thing ever - about to install the windows 7 beta on my laptop. My university got a batch of beta licenses and I nabbed one.

So, I hear good things, but who wants to bet it messes up my laptop?

I'm hoping it cures cancer once installed....by the time it's commercially released, I should be ready for a new OS and system.

I just hate the way the taskbar looks, let m,e know if you can change it from being so boxy.

Yes cheese, let us know, I got my hands on the beta thanks to the tech school i go to and the fact that I managed to become a member of Windows Action Pack, that gives access to betas of their programs and then alot more. Dumbest thing ive done today so far is dropping a 90 pound couch on my big toe, and im being to lazy to see a doctor

Doctors can't do anything for a broken toe, anyway.....just try to keep as much weight/pressure off of it as you can and take an anti-inflammatory.

Pfft. You wouldn't believe the ammount of illegals here that go to the ER for the dumbest things, including such broken toe.

Windows 7 is the shizzle. All the good things about vista (the prettyness, DX10, solid stability) mixed with the good things from XP (the low resource consumption, the compatibility).

Every piece of hardware on my laptop (even my odd atheros wi-fi card that neither vista or XP had drivers for) was picked up at install and works fine. The upgrade feature for once didn't wipe my hard drives anyway and it left no horrible backup folders and files all over the place. Overall the install was long but pretty painless.

The system itself is a work of art. It is to Vista what XP was to ME. While it looks the same, some of the added functionality is just stuff I wonder how I ever lived without. For example, internet explorer 8 has tabbed browsing, we know this. But in Windows 7, if you mouse over the IE icon on the taskbar, it displays a popup with previews of all your open tabs, allowing you to close them from the popup or simply open IE to whichever one you want. I can't wait till it does that with firefox too.

The taskbar itself has become more a sort of dock than anything else. Think rocketdock. You place shortcuts to commonly used programs on it, then click once to open them, the graphic changes slightly to indicate the program is running now instead of just a shortcut.

Oh and Liveme - yes you can make the task bar less boxy. In the settings you can shrink the taskbar icons to make the taskbar as thick as it is on Vista or XP. However the boxy look is my preference. Once you realise it's sort of a dock and a taskbar combined you start to like the bigger look of it.

As for app compatability - perfect. Only thing that doesn't work after upgrading is DaemonTools, but that installs kernel level emulation drivers, so I wouldn't expect it to work after upgrading an OS. I'd assume if I reinstalled it now it'd be fine. All my games run just as fast as XP, if not faster, all my apps boot up in half the time.

Overall a stunning OS. Now i'm annoyed that I have to wait for the full thing to put it on my desktop, got too many projects going to risk beta OS software on here.

*edit* maybe I should have put this in a new thread, oh well. It's off topic, but it has proven to not be a dumb thing to do.

Apparently I told my D&D group that my brother's ex wanted to get back together, when I said she was talking to him, and they told her that. Now she's pissed at my brother, which makes him extremely pissed at me. More then likely she's lying to make him hate me, as she's lied before to turn him against us in the past.

Opera's been doing that since Opera 5. That's an old feature to me.
