Just For Fun!!!

I'm also hoping my kids aren't as crazy as I was. I guess if I'm not a grandma in the next 8 years or so, that's a pretty good sign. :)

I could take the 5th amendment every other day of my life.

Another hobby of mine is modding cars, mostly imports. We all drive mostly nissans, hondas, etc. Anything fast with 4 cylinders.

So my brother had a little run-in with a ditch in his 240sx, and wrecked his front bumper. He got a new one, and so we had this huge fiberglass front clip that was all scratched up and didn't want to just throw it away. Then we remembered that there are train tracks about a mile from where i live. We hear the train come before midnight every night, so we figure we could do a train vs. front clip of a car. We made a night out of it, drank beers and sat in folding chairs waiting for the train to come. Train comes at full speed around the corner, we all get out of the way, and DESTROYS this thing. I mean, it immediately broke into thousands of pieces. After the train had passed, we walked about a half mile up the track and couldn't find a piece of it bigger than a dollar bill.

In high school, we ran from the cops a lot. Not for doing anything illegal, just when they would break up a party. We actually ran with a group of people and I had a hunch to just go to ground and hide. My friend and I did that; about 30 seconds later the cop ran by. Not to mention, he radioed to a buddy and caught all the people down at the end of the path where it met the street. We got away!

Something else car related.....go to Mcdonalds and get 2 trays that you'd get oyur food if you ate in. Find an empty parking lot and pull your rear wheels on the trays, one for each wheel. Set your parking brake. If your car is front wheel drive, you can now do doughnuts just like the rear-wheel drive guys!

Oh yeah, my freshman year of college, fall semester. Vienne Leaf Patrol! Inside joke among me and some buddies who, one night terrorized the streets. In northern va, you can just rake all the leaves out of your lawn and into the road in huge piles, and collector trucks will come get them. These piles are also fun to drive through in a 4wd vehicle with all the windows open! You hit those piles and there are leaves in the air, on the hood, blocking the windshield (use your wipers), and all inside the car. I was picking bits of leaves out of my ears for a day or two after that. SO MUCH FUN!

Car sledding- Plowed parking lots with big piles of snow where the plow dumped it. Do this early while theres still some ice on the pavement. Get towed by any vehicle, you on a sled with about a 40 ft rope. Get the driver to turn before the pile of snow, and if you've fashioned that pile of snow into a ramp, then you can get some crazy air! Do this at your own risk, a buddy of mine sprained his wrist doing this. But in his words, worth every shade of blue!

I could keep on going and going and going with stories like this, lol.

Marla, I know EXACTLY how you feel. My daughter is going on 11 and when I turned 13 and was in 8th grade I became a little wild child. I hope and pray the 'mother's curse' thing is only a myth or I'm gonna be in deep do doo........

Yep, my daughters are 11 and 13, so finding out should be right around the corner! Good luck with yours. ;)

(For those who don't know, the Mother's Curse is, "May you grow up and have children just like you!" :) )

Oh man.... I'll stick to the stuff that isn't too illegal.

Once me and my friends took a crap load of gas, and flamable crap, and emptied it right into the road and lit it up. So there was a big wall of fire blocking passage for cars at like 10:00 at night. We just left, didn't get to see what ended up happening, those people were pissed.

Near one of my friends house there was a blind spot where trees covered a certain area at night. And this was right on a cross section where 4 roads met. So we'd hide there with eggs, hard snow balls, ect. And when a car went by we'd all, about 10-15 of us, launch snowballs and eggs at the cars. This was an ok part. But the real fun came when someone got really pissed, slammed the brakes, and went hunting for us. It's like playing manhunt, cept if the person catches you you're likely to get either roughed up or captured for the cops. It adds that extra twist.

Another great time was me and my friend would wait until 10:30, curfew, and go running from cops. There was this one place where cops went by looking for people out past curfew every 2 minutes or less. So we'd let them see us, then have fun running through bushes and crap to hide before being found. A person could make a night of this, it's insane fun.

Then lighting fires with lighter fluid in forests, man that was great. One time we ran like hell to get away from what we thought was gonna be a massive forest fire we'd created. Turned out the guy who spotted us, thus causing us to run, also put out the fire. The next morning you could see about 10 burnt logs piled up, that was close.

Then there was the random stupid crap where we'd do really stupid things in front of random people. Like tripping purposely in stores and making a scene. Driving around and racing in those electric wheel chairs for little old women in super markets. Putting all the gum under the seats in movie theatres into the person's sitting next to you drink while they aren't looking. Pranking teachers repeatedly and finally getting caught. Then accidently missing the meeting where I'd get off scott free for an apology, and thus being on probation. Then smaller things of mayhem.

I got a lot of stories, most are pretty legal tho. Playing with fire is the best...

Well, as a child of the 70's I did plenty wild legal and not so legal and as Marla said most I wouldn't want to post on a public forum.
One thing that comes to mind is we would take the little bic disposible lighters and hit the button and fill our mouths up with the gas then walk up to the register in Mickey D's and when they would ask us for our order we would blow out and light the gas so we look like we were breathing flames.
Use to get a good reaction with that one.
I just hope my son doesnt even come close to some of the things I did, especially involving cars.

Yeah I am not going to share any serious stories in public = I hope my kids don't do the things I did either lol. A) I don't have the bail money B) I don't have the money for hospital bills and C) I lucked out way too many times (like rolling a bronco down a hill while mudding or riding a sled behind a blazer down the street and being thrown in to a mailbox on the turn.... [a metal mailbox sunk in concrete]) okay so maybe i will share some in a public forum. haha.

UM:
Went cross country by hitching and driving when I was 16 (I was emancipated)
Run a reptile rescue (lol)
Let me see,
Well yesterday my husband and I took our four year old rock climbing and then after daddy fell in we went swimming too.
I think I have done allot of crazy thing in my life, but I have noticed that maybe I have a "crazy" way of parenting.
For instance, yesterday my husband, our little man and me were climbing up a waterfall (Devils Hopyard, CT) http://dep.state.ct.us/stateparks/pa...ilshopyard.htm (second pic down)
And parents just hummed and hawed about how they WOULD NEVER do soemthing like that, then they turned and yelled at their kids because they were crying over wet socks! Insanity.
I dunno lots of crazy stuff. But probably none I should voice on a family forum.lol
I’ll think of some to post soon

My boyfriend and I liked to get drunk and walk to Tim Horton's really, really late at night (er, early in the morning?) and get coffee and just sit inside when his apartment was near there. It was fun, lol. As for incredibly crazy things... I'm fairly mild. I've witnessed quite a few crazy things though... involving such things as Buick Rivieras, severed raccoon tails, nudity and lanterns (well I didn't see that one entirely, I was..uhh.. yeah...)
As for semi-legal things, my friends screwed some skis onto a wingback arm chair and we towed it around on a frozen lake with a Ford Exlplorer. Can't say I'd ever been on a 40 mph arm chair before! Oh yeah, and one time I got kicked out of the mall for sitting on the floor. I'm so cool.
