Redneck Surround Sound

So there was a Dave Matthews Band concert this week and we didn't go. The Hubba and I agreed, one more concert and people might start to think we were a wee bit obsessive. We didn't have to go, it wasn't necessary for us to hop a plane to Jersey in the middle of the week to see the boys do a free concert at Westpoint.

Luckily the concert was broadcast over the world wide web (can I get an Amen! for the Internet?) and we were able to watch.



Instead of watching on the desktop computer (the only reason not to watch there being we are weird and prefer the complex to the simple) we decided to watch it on my laptop in the living room.

Slight problem? The laptop's sound leaves something to be desired. I might as well have Alvin and the Chipmunks stuck inside my hard drive so weak are the speakers.

Hmm. Speakers. Not a bad idea. But where would one find speakers?

(Two minutes later...)
So detach the speakers from the desktop like so... attach them to the laptop... right... looks good... except... where do we set the speakers?



Voilà! (Voy-la we might say here in the South) Who needs fancy rigging and The Best Buy when you've got an ironing board? Y'all might have ritzy education systems up north, but do you have this kind of on-your-toes, MacGyver-esque, lighting-quick thinking?

Hmmmm?


We didn't think so.
