Just For Fun!!!

Hey all just for fun I wanted to know some of the craziest things you've done. For instance the other day Me my bud and a girlfriend of mine went pant shopping for her cause she needed to get a pair. So we're walking around in the store lookin' for her cloths when My Band by Eminem comes on so I'm feeling in a Jackarse kinda mood and so I grab a pair of bra and panties put them on over my cloths walked up to a complete stranger and started making up my own words to the song while dancing right in front of her. She got really freaked out and left the store fast as she could. Needless to say that my friends were on the floor laughing so hard they had tears coming from they're eyes. It was fun not very often does that happen this day in age. Just thought I'd share...anybody else have any stories they want to share with us???

Last night at work (I work in the music section of the library) we had an old school "taco" or "fugee" fight. That's where you roll up an index card piece of paper (in this case index cards) fold them in half and get a rubberband to fire them at eachother. Well as we all know it's finals time so everyone is overtired and a little delerious. My roomate and I work together on thursdays and we started firing them at eachother with the big old rubberbands we use to keep books together and this grad student who always comes in says "I gotta get in on that!" Long story short we briefly converted the entire music floor of the library into a warzone for about a half hour. I have a welt on my back to prove it. :) Best night of work EVER.

Wow Andrew.....I'll never look at you with the same eyes again... LMAO!

When I was in high school...forever ago...I was at a party with a bunch of friends. I can't remember WHY we did this, because several of us had cars, but maybe only one of us was sober. (That is probably likely) Anyhow...we piled NINE people into a VW bug and drove it across town that way to the Taco Bueno for a snack...then of course had to pile back in and drive back to the party. I've seen bug-stuffing events, but never one where you could actually DRIVE the thing! :D

I'm afraid most of the crazy stuff I've done isn't safe to share in a family forum, but when I was a teenager one of the things some friends and I liked to do was stop in the middle of the mall and look up, to see how many other people we could get to look up just because we were. The answer? A lot! We also used to do Polaroid treasure hunts in the mall, where instead of bringing back an object, you had to bring back a photo of whatever was on the list, including things like a guy in a tuxedo eating ice cream (we actually did get that one).

Dang you guys are tame. Try paintball drive bys. Street racing.

When i was in high school i had this old 1985 Volvo 760 Turbo. Well we were hauling ass through this park called Olmos park. At the and of the park there is a creek where the road goes down hill then up hill then it dropps off sharply when you get to the creek. Well me and some friends were in the car and we were hauling ass down this road we were going like 75mph and i went down hill then up hill and when we got to the part where the road drops off the car launched into the air and landed hard. When the car landed it fish-tailed and then it went into the side ditch and i overcorrected and the car turned on its side when it came to a stop. We were all alright no one was hurt. This is a fine testament to the toughness of these old volvos. When we got out of the car we looked at it on its side and then we pushed it back on its wheels and drove off.

Now that is the most scariest experience in my life. But everything was ok in the end but the car was really messed up. It was all repaired and made good but i will never do that again, well, maybe with a roll cage lol. I guess when you are young like 18 or so you feel so invincible.

Edit: I had to add that not too long ago me and a bunch of friends go out to this free way and we race out there all night long. Well we had an idea of filming it. So one of my friends decided to stand on the yellow double line and film us coming at him at like 95mph. The film looked and sounded cool but that was really crazy.

you dont really wanna know. trust me. im wild as the taliban.

No, not tame. Just not appropriate for sharing someplace where I can't control who'll see it, including children. But I can say I've never done anything as stupid as paintball drive-bys or street racing. Legal, illegal, stupid, and/or dangerous, yes, but almost never anything that would put anyone into danger who didn't volunteer to be there.

Now where's the entertainment in that??? Details fellas...we want details! :twisted:

I just hope my kids are not a crazy is i was. But that will probibly be my curse for what i put my parents through. LOL. I am not that crazy any more. But i do like to have fun. Jumping the volvo seemed like a good idea at the time. But in the end it was really stupid we all could have been killed. But you know peer pressure. I was fortunate to be able to look back and laugh at it. As far a street racing i dont do it much any more. When i drive down the road and come to a red light some honda or something comes next to me and revs his engine and i reply with revving mine and its on. I like racing on the track you get ET's and RT's and is much safer.

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
Rusty

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.

I think this one qualifies for "crazy" and "stupid" in one shot.

Back when I was a sophomore in High School (MANY years ago), I rode my bike darn near everywhere. My buddy and I would cruise along and use the driveway flares (where the driveway sloped back up to the regular curb) to jump our bikes. Keep in mind, these weren't BMX or even Mountain Bikes. At that time, no one had even heard of Mountain Bikes. We all rode 10 Speed road bikes. One day, my buddy and I were riding along, hopping our bikes in the usual manner, when Dave commented that he knew this place where we might be able to get a real good jump with the bike. It was a spot where an orange grove was just above the street, and a very short, very steep dirt trail led up from the street to the grove. This was about a three foot climb in maybe two to three foot of forward distance, with a long run of straight street leading up to it. I said, "I'll try it!"

The last thing I remember is turning around up the street to make a run for this naturally steep ramp. The next thing I remember is waking up in the ambulance. According to Dave, I went about 6 feet into the air (on a 10 Speed Road bike, mind you, not balanced for flying), came down on the front wheel, went over the handlebars, landed flat on my back, and laid there laughing after the bike bounced over me. I passed out very quickly thereafter. Dave flagged down a Jeep that had a CB radio installed, and the driver radio'ed REACT for the ambulance. This was LONG before Cell phones.

I wish I could remember the whole thing. It sounded like one great ride, right up until that bad landing...

When i was in college my buddies and I always seemed to have an affinity for throwing things. My freshman year we built a homemade water balloon launcher out of some elastic bands our swim team used for training, duct tape, and a washcloth. All i can say about that is that frozen waterballons and frozen oranges really leave dents in cars ;). Also my freshman year i was infamous for putting cheerios on top of peoples ceiling fans so that when they turned them on the cheerios spread out all over the floor.

The oddest thing i ever did in college was during my sophomore year. Our Physics club built a mid-evil seige engine called a trebuchet. For those of you that dont know what that is, it is a very large catapult used for throwing boulders, dead animals, etc. Ours was constructed out of tree trunks and had a 700 pound counter weight. Theoretically it would throw a 20 pound watermelon half a mile, but we never did find the remains of the watermelon ;)

Of course you could always ask Chris (Andariel) about waskels ..... LMAO

Trebuchets are cool! French siege weapon yeah? I saw a discover channel thing where a dude built one and threw a volkswagon like a hundred yards with it it was pretty sweet. Also once on monster garage they used one to hurl packages from a mail truck.

Growing up in the 60's was never boring. My brother and I use to do many stupid, but fun things. We would fold strips of aluminum foil over fishing string and run it across the road at night. When a car would come along we would pull on the string (one of us on each side of the road) and when the headlights of the car hit the aluminum strips, well lets just say there were many a car swerving and slamming on the brakes.

Other times we would throw toilet paper over power lines, then light them on fire....Made for a great light show.

Stupidest thing we use to do, though it was fun at the time, was to jump into the Barge Canal from the drawbridge just after a barge passed. It would tow us for a good long ways. Very dangerous thing to do because it could have pulled us under into the propellers of the tug but we never thought of that then.

well, i havent done much, and some of it might seem.....i dunno the word, but not so great.
most of it in malls

me and my best friend once got int a huge fake fight just to get a scene and we had security gaurds come and make us stay away from each other

ive gone to random people and store employees saying thigns such as :

"Are you making fun of me becasue i'm black?"

"what, you folowing me cuz im black?"

and other such things, but the fun part is becasue im white....lol

another fun thing to do in the mall, take an alka selter, bite down on it, and fall to the floor pretending to have a seizure





ive never done anything really illegal...yet, but im only 13, and i know i probably will do something.

well, i also take like, sewing needles, and pierce random body parts, ive pierced my ear a lot, but ive always taken it out, so my parents dont yell at me, but i do have my ear pierced twice by a proffesional

ive pieced the webby part of skin in between your thumb and index finger

the excess skin at your ankle

and a bunch of oter random parts that you wouldnt normally see a piercing

ive never had any be permanant other than my ear, i just do it, let someone see it, then take it out



* i wouldnt do this if i were you, theres an easy chance of it getting infected, and the needle is most likely not sterile, if you want it done, go to a place *



edit- BTW, the one that hurt the most was my ear, surprisingly...but not even that really hurt, i dont get hurt that easily

We'll this one time at band camp...... :wink:

Ewwwwwwwwww....................................lol

My best friend and I used to drive her '83 Ford Tempo around all night. She would pick me up around 10 or 11, whenever her stupid boyfriend passed out from being too "high". We had many nights of fun; hanging out and drinking with friends in the cemetery.
I really can't think of anything nutty I've done that I would want to post. It could always come back to haunt me!
