What's the dumbest thing you've done...

[Ziggy]

Think back to when you were young and did stupid things your parents would have had heart attacks from....something that easily could have killed you if not for luck.
My memory was jogged yesterday by an old family friend that bought a car from me yesterday.
There was a period of time around the age of 10 or so that I was enamored by the bow and arrow...had fun shooting inanimate objects with it. For entertainment I'd shoot that thing straight up into the air and see how close I could get it to land by me :eek: That wasn't so bad since I could watch and see it coming.
Then I got the bright idea of doing it at night :hammerhea after some time and having one land about 5 feet away I figured I'd better stop trusting luck...Mom and Dad wouldn't be happy if I came in the house with an arrow stuck in the top of my head.
What were some things you've done? I'm sure there are stories to be told with the wild bunch we got in here :2purples: ...fess up :p

[WYRD]

There is not enough space on this board to post the things I have done that were dumb!!! :notam:

Hummm.
Lighting off a d sized solid rocket engine without it being in a rocket. - It did a loop and hit the back of my head burning up my shirt, hair etc.
Trying to siphon gas from a car gas tank with a electric shop vac.
Making a pipe bomb and packing it with a metal rod rubbing against the metal pipe.
Trying to remove the power from a primer cap with a screw driver.
Going out on a half frozen pond to get the dog. I fell in and almost drowned.

Borrowed my moms 1978ish Pontiac Boneville, you know the big ass car with a whole lot of engine, drove it down the 2 lane road next to the house at a 100 mph in the rain, I was 13 at the time...
Oh and there are so many more, Ziggy, you and I will have to have lunch one day, we can compare all the stupid shit we've done...

We used to play kickball/soccer, whatever you want to call it, in the alley behind our house with a tennis ball soaked in gas.
During the monsoon season, when the streats would flood, I'd dump a bunch of gas into the flowing water, run next to it and light it on fire. It was kinda cool having a river of fire running down your street.
Used to jump my bike off the roof of the house into the pool.
Took the neighbors 76 Monte Carlo to gas station to get smokes. I was 14.

[Freak]

I borrowed the car at 14 and crashed it in the snow.
Throwing butcher knives at each other in the back yard.
We used to play tag and wear cleats and hide in the trees when someone would climb up to tag you - you would stomp on their hands.
The worst one that haunts me to this day is being faithful to my girlfriends in high school instead of banging her friends and all the girls that showed interest in me. (idiot) Stupid stupid stupid.

[HCS]

Craziest thing I did was street race. When I think back at some of the crazy shit we did in our cars I'm suprised I'm still alive. There wasn't a seat belt law back then either. We never put on our seat belts. On time we jumped my buddies Charger like on Dukes of hazard. We were doing 100+ and went off a jump in the road and lauched about 15 feet in air, when we landed the front lower ball joint snaped and we skidded to a stop. We were lucky the thing didn't flip end over end and kill us. That's just one short story. I have too many to list.

[canuck1]

I think you should narrow it down to today, this week, this year, etc..

[miller19j]

When I was growing up my best friend lived across the street from me. We were always getting into trouble.
In his back yard was a rather large ornamental rock. Our goal as children was to blow up that rock. By the time we were about eleven the rock looked like something from the gaza strip, covered in burn marks but still standing (even after countless attempts to blow it up)
At about the age of eleven our explosive abilities had progressed to the pipe bomb stage. Through a little networking with a friend who’s dad reloaded rifle cartridges we acquired a pound of smokeless powder. The powder was loaded into a 2” dia steel pipe, had a rocket engine igniter installed, and was capped off.
We dug a hole under the rock to place our device (that is how it is done in the movies). Wired our device to our model rocket power supply and uncoiled the cord (maybe 15 feet long) We then got two trash cans to cover ourselves (safety first) and started the countdown.
When we hit 1 we blew that rock right in two, set off every alarm within 500 yards and has the police and fire department there within five minutes.
Looking back I have no idea how I lived through my childhood.

[Newcastle]

About 12 years ago when Rollerblades came out...we'd go 'street skiing' at about 50 mph with the rope tied to the bumper of a buddy's pickup...nothing like taking a blind corner and not understanding how the whiplash could get you going...

[Mrs. HOOTER SLED]

Here's one or two:
I was around 8 or 9 and was in the car with my sister and decided to see if the door would open while we were driving............ well it di right when we turned the corner......I went out and my sister caught me by my as$ :idea:
Needless to say she was pissed ....I was scared sh*tless but ok and not a scratch :rollside:
One year for 4th of July we lite bottle rockets..... well I kicked it over and it went right up my cousins pant leg...... :devil: Good thing though she had torn jeans cause it came back out above her knee.... a small burn but she forgave me a year later :yuk: :p

[Newcastle]

OH yeah...and taking up smoking at about 8. I didn't know to inhale, but we'd sneak into an alley collecting 1/2 used cigarettes that we'd find on the ground on the way, then finish them off. I know, disgusting now that I think about it.

I used to do something similar...about 9 my friends and I would dress in all black and sneak out at night (thinking the black clothes would make us invisable) and smoke a cigarette (I stole them from my stepdad...not off the ground!) in the back alley!!

My stupid stunt was simple :idea: , took a dare from a buddy to jump my BMX bike off the roof of his house. Too bad I landed on the crossbar. Gave a whole new meaning to having balls the size of melons.
You have any idea how hard it is to hide your family jewels from your parents when they are that size?
After two days of pain I finally had to fess up and go to the doctor. On the ride to the office my dad could barely drive through the tears of laughing so hard. He will never let me live that down. :D

[miller19j]

The other one that comes to mind is when we decided to arm my BMX bike with a Missile.
We took a model rocket and installed a pushbutton in the nosecone, hooked that up to a big capacitor on one end and a rocket igniter on the other end. Then filled the rest of the cavity with gunpowder. The capacitor was charged by a battery on the bike that also hooked up to the main engine igniter of the rocket to launch it when a button was pushed on the handlebars.
The rocket was mounted to a straitened coat hanger duct taped to the frame.
The first launch was at a dumpster, and unfortunately we missed the dumpster and hit a tree about 20 yards from it (our guidance system needed some work). The explosion was rather small but did light a portion of the tree on fire. Causing the fire department to be called.
We had a couple of other prototypes but most of them failed. One caused a trip to the emergency room and taught me what 3rd degree burn meant.

I can remember being in grade school and I was so curous what was so different from boys privates then girls so I told my best friend ( who was a year older and a boy) to let me see it and I'd show him my boobie ( not an even trade back then ;) ) So we went behind my dog house and did the show n tell thing !!! :D No wonder why I like to flash on the boat.....

[BADBLOWN572]

Filled a mylar baloon full of acetalyn from a cutting torch and installed a cannon fuse in the neck of the baloon. Buddy let it go in the back yard of his house but it didn't get up high enough. When it blew up, it was so loud that he could not hear anything for a couple of hours, cops came (he ran, but got caught and ratted me out), and eventually had to face our parents. :(
Hopped in a client's race car and took it for a spin not knowing that they had not blead the brakes since the last time it was ran. OOPS! 15 at the time. :(

[SHOTKALLIN]

when I was in elementary school we had a huge walnut tree in our back yard. We had a neighbor 2 doors down, who had antique decorative windwills on the roof of his garage. They were the type that were shaped like a old man cutting wood or a duck with wings that would spin in the wind. (anyway you get the picture) O.K. walnuts grow in a hard green pod the size of a small lime. One day my crew filled up a couple of buckets with walnuts and climbed up on the roof to see who would be the first to hit the windmill. Well, after several buckets of walnuts the windmills were pretty beat up. My crew went home and then there was the dreaded knock at the door. We had the only walnut tree in the neighborhood. DUHHHHHH! where the fock did it look like they came from??? Lets just say I couldn't sit for a week. . :hammerhea

Did a lot of stupid death defying stuff but one of the funniest was going in the storm drains under a major street. ( Sepulveda blvd.) We'd take our bikes down there and ride and took mini bikes one time. We'd go to the intersection of Devonshire and Sepulveda and go up to the gutter drains and when a car would stop with the passenger window down we'd throw stuff in the window. Driver couldn't see where it was coming from and a few times we'd hear the drivers yellin at the people standing on the corner or waitting for the bus. :argue:

I won the bet. Bulls eye. Blood everywhere.
His brother was more than a little pissed. I didn't come around for about a month.

I did alot of dumb shit. One more. Me and my buddy (different buddy) hiked up in the canyon above my house and found a few salamanders in the stream. Like about 500 of em. Being the collector of everything imaginable from birth we went home and got buckets...several. We let several hundred of them go in my back yard. My parents were PISSED. We had salamanders live and dead everywhere for about 2 years following. I was such a dumb ass.

Passive stupidity is still stupidity. :D When I was about 7 years old, myself, my older more sophisticated friend (she was 8 :rolleyes: ), and her two little sisters were all sitting in her family's station wagon - a woody :cool: . It was summertime. It was hot. The inside of the car was really hot but the windows were rolled down. Well anyway the front seat had a tear in the fabric and my friend was poking around at it and gouging out bits of sponge. She declared she could light a rather large piece of the sponge on fire, get out of the car before it finished burning and not burn her fingers. I sat there and nodded and watched in awe as she lit it. I'm not real sure exactly what happened next except that it was scary and her family's car blew up - less than 20 feet from the house. I recall the burned skeleton of the car sitting in her driveway for a period of time afterward. I think the only injury was my friends fingers - she did burn them. She was apparently wrong about her speed capabilities (well understood here of all places I'm sure, lol :wink: ) but thankfully we all lived. :) I shoulda done what I was well known at the time for doing ... I shoulda tattled on her or at least threatened to! :redface: Poor woody. :(

My friends and I liked to raise hell. One of the things we did was to get the old school fire extinguishers, that you could take the caps off of and fill with whatever you wanted, and fill them up with freezing water. Pressurize the extinguishers with an air compressor and walla, perfect high pressure water gun. We would drive around and if someone cut us off or pissed us off, we would spray the crap out of them. It was the best when someone had their window down. Spray them and then bolt. Lucily my friend had a lifted suburban back then so we could go over pretty much anything. Constantly watched people rip the front ends off of their cars trying to chase us.
The killer was one time the cops showed up at the door of our friend's house looking for the owner of the suburban. Someone got our liscense plate number. Since there were two of us, we simply denied it and they couldn't prove anything so no big deal, but got us thinking of other ways to do to raise hell....And the saga continues.....

My genious friends and I got the bright idea to put "things" on the rail road tracks down off of Crowther/Orangethorpe area in Placentia. We put so many different things on the tracks but the most memorable was an OC Register Newpaper machine which exploded, an old washing machine which was pretty much demolished and a Home Depot Shopping cart which wedged itself under the train bringing it to a stop.
YA i know.....this was VERY stupid and could have caused a train to derail. We later found out that tampering with the tracks like that is a Federal offense and we would pretty much go straight to prison for it. Needless to say we didn't do that ever again.

Filled a fountain of the Red Lion hotel (now the Hilton) in Glendale CA on the corner of Glenoaks and brand with 3 gallons of Palmolive and 3 Lbs of powdered laundry detergent, went back to take pictures of the suds 15 ft into the intersection and the groundskeeper ID'd my car, cops got us, arrested 6 minors, impounded my car.... that sucked.

3 weeks after I turned 18................ :hammerhea
at a buddies house on a weeknight getting hammered because his mom was out of town. Another friend and I scoped out a construction site in a residential neighborhood several days earlier that had a HUGE steamroller on it with an unlocked lockbox. Keep in mind, this piece of equipment was approx 3 miles away from where we were partying. Anyhow, we went over there and figured out how to start it. Once it was fired up, we began driving it around the neighborhood with the intention to make it back to our party. Yes, bets were made before we left on our mission that we'd never make it back with the steamroller. Well, in between us and our destination is a stop light that is an intersection of 4 lanes in each direction...totalling 8. There's also a fire station on one corner and a church on the other. We sent our other friend that drove us over there to drive up to the stoplight and count the time it took to change to green once he triggered the sensor. He did that and drove back to us as we waited on the hill about 1/4-1/2 mile away. So we went for it knowing that it had to be timed just right so we weren't sitting at the intersection on this HUGE, and I do mean HUGE steamroller. This thing had like 6' high barrel wheels and a ladder you had to climb to get to the driver's seat...HUGE. Not one of those little dinky ones. So we're cruising down the hill along side my buddy in his camaro and we make the call to send him to the trigger spot ahead of us to get the light to change. We pour on the power....all of about 3 mph in the beast :rolleyes: , slamming the steam button, making so much freaking noise with the metal wheels clanking on the street. We hit it perfectly. Right as we hit the crosswalk, the light turned green and we went on through. Now we've entered main roads...of which we're on a 4-laner. OK, I should tell you....it's about 12midnight and not only am I blitzed, but I'm wearing this stupid greenish tweed leprechaun-lookin hat and lookin stupid. We proceed up the road about another half mile and turn into the neighborhood where our party is at. When we turned into my friends' street, we then took aim to all of his neighbors trashcans...the old school aluminum ones. Yep, sure flattens those right out. Makes a crapload of noise though....so much that our awaiting party pours out of the house because they thought there was a huge car crash outside....nope, just us on this steamroller with a path of trashcan destruction behind us. Everyone looks at us like......"NO WAY DID YOU GUYS MAKE IT BACK THIS FAR WITHOUT GETTING CAUGHT." Well, we decide we need to ditch this thing because we made our point and took the cash bets that were against us and don't want to get caught. So we ditch it three streets over and head back to the party. Well, next thing we know, two of our other friends are now on the steamroller driving it in the greenbelts behind the house. What they didn't know is that the cement pathway they were driving on.....was turning to rubble behind them. Then they hit a light pole and ran it right over. We were all pretty PO'd because at that point we had gotten away with our little prank. Then these peckers pull back in front of the house, park it, leave it running, jump in their cars and take off. So, me and the original joy-rider jump back on it to get rid of it so we don't get everyone busted. Oh yeah, now some of the other neighbors have also come out of their houses because of all the noise only to notice they have silver pancakes instead of trash cans at the curb. Yep, they're really pissed. So now, me and my buddy are more loaded because it's been like 1.5 hours and several more drinks later, but we're back on the steamroller trying to get it back to it's original location. Yep, we're now heading down that same 4-laner toward the firestation and 8-lane intersection. We got to be about 1/4 mile from it and we start to hear sirens....and lots of 'em. :2purples: :eek: :2purples: Then we see flashes from around the unlit streetcorner and we realize......."Oh shit, they're coming for us!" Then the cops hit the corner..one, two, three, four, ...five cars!!! One after another in a row, all getting sideways, smokin the tires, sirens blaring, lights flashing....coming right at us like a sick game of chicken in an old Dukes of Hazzard episode!!!
So what do we do?
That's right, we jump from the damn steamroller and take off on foot. Believe me, you can't outrun an old man on a Lark in a steamroller let alone a police cruiser. So now we're running into the neighborhoos where my buddy lives that's having the party. Within that neighborhood is a man-made lake with electric boats on it and stuff. But it's close and I'm thinking........."Get to the water man, get to the water!! It's dark, close, and they'll never catch me if I reach the water." Well, those coppers had they're hands full because yep, you guessed it.............we left the steamroller ghostriding down that 4 laner....down hill right at 'em!!! It was the only diversion we had to buy us some time. Well, it bought us some............but apparently not enough. So I'm sprinting full speed through bushes, front yards, backyards, over fences, between houses............."just get to the water man, just get to the F-ing water and you're safe!!!" I know exactly where I'm going and just need to cross this one residential court and get to the dirt path behind the houses that takes me right to a dark part of the lake...only about 75 yards away. FREEEEEEEEZE MUTHER F-ER!!!!! DON'T YOU F'ING MOVE!!!!!!!!! FREEEEEEEEEEZE GAUD DAMNIT!!!! Oh crap. I'm in trouble. So there I am, huffing and puffing like a smoker after a 100yd sprint, it's very cold so my breath looks like fire out of a dragon, I'm wasted, and I'm wearing that stupid green tweed leprechaun hat lookin like an idiot. Cop says to me.....with his pistol aimed at my face from about 15yds....... "whaddy doin out here young man?" I say "nothin, why what's goin on?" while I struggle to catch my breath. He says, "turn the F around and put your hands on the wall" Next thing I know I'm literally thrown in the back of his squad car and I get the movie-like good cop/bad cop interrogation routine for about 3 hours then they let me go on my own recogniscense only to end up in the Robert Downey Jr. (aka Malibu) Courthouse about 15 times trying to avoid going to jail for being dumb.
THAT'S BY FAR THE STUPIDEST THING I'VE EVER DONE. But a great story to tell and somewhat of a fun memory of growing up. Oh and, no jail served thankd goodness but.......30 8-hour days off community service sucks when you're not a volunteer. :D :D My buddies used to honk and flip me off while I picked up trash on the freeway while they went to class at JC and I ditched the very same class to pay my dues. Bastards. :D :D
Hope some of you got a laugh at my expense....it made me chuckle again.
Later everyone & enjoy the Slaughterbowl. Go Pats!

When I was growing up my best friend lived across the street from me. We were always getting into trouble.
In his back yard was a rather large ornamental rock. Our goal as children was to blow up that rock. By the time we were about eleven the rock looked like something from the gaza strip, covered in burn marks but still standing (even after countless attempts to blow it up)
At about the age of eleven our explosive abilities had progressed to the pipe bomb stage. Through a little networking with a friend who’s dad reloaded rifle cartridges we acquired a pound of smokeless powder. The powder was loaded into a 2” dia steel pipe, had a rocket engine igniter installed, and was capped off.
We dug a hole under the rock to place our device (that is how it is done in the movies). Wired our device to our model rocket power supply and uncoiled the cord (maybe 15 feet long) We then got two trash cans to cover ourselves (safety first) and started the countdown.
When we hit 1 we blew that rock right in two, set off every alarm within 500 yards and has the police and fire department there within five minutes.
Looking back I have no idea how I lived through my childhood.
Now that one there made me laugh out loud!! I can just picture you and your buddy underneath those trash cans when that thing went off!! must have een shitting your pants

I don't know how I'd scan the xray, but I got one of those, trying to prove I was stilla kid on my 34th birthday, ripped the muscle and tendon loose and dislocated my left shoulder trying to bench press 300# without a spotter.
