    Not a big dumb thing, but I moved into my new place in Japan yesterday, and true to the stereotype all of the door frames are much lower. I told the person showing me around that I'd lived in Japan so it shouldn't be hard readjusting to it. And within an hour I had slammed my head into a door frame, hard, no less than three times. And all in front of that same person.

    Yo you too?

    You wanna talk about how dumb it is?

    It's pretty dumb! Mostly harmless, though

    Yeah

    It managed to hit a fun enough dumb point for me

    Like I could take turns with my guests between yelling at the screen and making cocktails and cackling as they yelled at the screen

    Real dumb movie though

    Pretty much Once Upon A Time caliber, although not as agonizingly drawn out

    I once sat uphill of an uphill-leaning tree I had just cut and kicked the base to jar it loose from the stump.

    Luckily I rolled out of the way in time.

    Also I once drank a pint of Black Velvet in about an hour

    I avoid doing dumb things by not doing anything much, but that leaves me open to saying dumb things, like this little exchange a few days ago:

    Mrs Rhesus: How lovely - somebody's scratched off the "L" on that public telephone sign.
    Me: "Public teephone"? Doesn't make sense...
    Mrs Rhesus: ...I'm going to assume that you're joking.

    Forgot the PIN for the card I've used weekly for seven months. Two weeks later and I still can't remember it.

    Got out of a car close to lions. Got stalked by lions.

    Stubbed my bare foot on a tyre and removed the nail from my big toe.

    Wanted to tow a tree out of a road, attached the tow rope to the bullbars on front of the car, pulled the bullbars off of the car.

    there were a couple fun ideas in there, even though the entire thing barely hangs together as any sort of narrative

    I really appreciate that the douchey guy at the prep school is named Chad Charming

    Well, a well-made and correctly mounted bullbar should be more than strong enough to lift the vehicle into the air. It's only those stupid chromed aluminum shinybars that everyone fits to their pickups that ought to crumple and tear off if you try to do any real work with them.

    One night we were watching bad reality TV and someone on the show became an ordained minister to perform weddings. My wife and college buddy couldn't believe it was that easy. By the end of the show using my phone and credit card without them noticing I was now "Father Nate." If any of you need to get married in Maine, I'm your guy.

    This happened a while ago but is a p good story

    So I was coming back from a gay dance thing with a guy I was hoping to screw later and he parked in a gas station about half a block from my house so I could run home and get something I had forgotten (something uninteresting, like money or some deal). The quickest way is to squeeze between two buildings, run down an alley and cross the street and voila there's my house.

    So I do that.

    I go the same way coming back, run down the alley, squeeze between the two buildings, jog to his car, pop the door and hop in.

    Unbeknownst to me, he had moved the car to get gas. So some random guy, parked at the local gas station, suddenly had some strange homosexual in leather gear pop out from between two buildings and jump in his car and all he could say was UH CAN I HELP YOU at maximum volume.

    he was straight I don't know if he'd be comfortable sharing that

    it wasn't crazy sex leather gear BTW

    just pants, shirt and coat. I looked pretty good! but probably more than a little threatening

    Child abuse jokes are probably not a good idea to make in front of anyone you just met.

    This reminds me of a dumb thing I did not-at-all-recently. Got up to pee in the middle of the night. Didn't turn the lights on because I knew my way to the bathroom blind. For some reason, I was absolutely sure that the seat was up, and didn't feel it was necessary to check. I was wrong.
