Dummkoph

[Maggot]

Power went out last night so all the electronics reset. This morning for some reason (we'll get to that) I couldnt get to the internet which I view through the TV as a monitor. I try everything, ripping my hair out,jut spent 30 minutes with the TV tech who finally asks "Well, when the power went off did the hard drive turn off? With a sinking feeling in the gut, knowing the answer before I look, I go over and sure enough...its off. I punch the button and viola' internet. After a few apologies its all ok and I get back to the Hide, relatively unscathed, but never the less, feeling like the

DUMMKOPH.

Time for you to invest in a UPS if this is actually an ordeal for you.

My experience is usually the opposite. Recently contacted tech support via internet chat. Tech says, "I'll test your modem." Is it plugged in and powered on?"

ME: "Could we chat if it wasn't?"

Crickets....

Didn't even spell it right.

Not to try and make you feel any worse, but it's spelled "Dumbkopf"...

If it makes you feel any better, though:

- I've lost my eyeglasses before (they were found on top of my head).

- I once spent 2 hours looking for me keys; ended up calling off work, and decided to have a beer (I worked nights at that time); low and behold, my keys somehow got put in the refridgerator.

Don't feel bad, we all have "Duh" moments...but I get where you're coming from.

Edit: I couldn't spell it right either...it's "Dummkopf"...which is especially bad, since I'm fluent in German, and VERY German to boot.

Ich kann es nicht glauben.

Since we're getting technical with spelling, the phrase you wanted is actually lo and behold.

What's the difference between Maggot's house and one of Mike Tyson's opponents from the mid-80s?


None, they both experience lights out.
