    Oh there was sooo much stupid; my mom even still reminds me of some of them. Every now and then I will accidentally spill a secret during the weekly "Mom and dad call".

    Wanted a BMX bike in grade school, but my folks wouldn't spent the money. I wanted to be able to do the tricks:) Sticking your foot in the front tire to do a wheely is not a briliant idea. Especially with a little speed behind you.

    Did a lot of mountain biking in Japan (Iwakuni). Tried to jump off a 5 foot cliff in a sand quary after 3 days of rain...Lets just say that the pedal imprint in the side of my head (thru the helmet) has faded nicely over the years.

    Got up to 47 Kph (according to the generic spedometer) on the same mountain bike on the back of castle mountain in Iwakuni when the trail shifted due to a tree falling. I didn't realize that, yes, you actually can fold a tire in half with the rubber touching:) and it does look like a taco at that point.

    If you have ever been on 10 highway headed west our of Ramona CA. There is a stretch that is perfectly straight, about 3 miles long and down hill. I had a new VTR1000 (sport bike). There was a peg on the speedometer at 190. Yeah, I always wondered what they meant by "pegged out". I also always wondered what was meant by "tunnel vision". I damn near couldn't see anything, and it felt as if I lifted my head at all I would be ripped off the bike.

    I told my 4 year old "No" this last weekend.

    Went to work at a Ductile Iron foundry one morning still drunk (party and all), problem was that I worked on the melt deck with 70 ton open hearth (in the floor with no lip, like a swimming pool) furnace with broken doors. Could easily have just walked in... It's only about 3100 degrees in there:)

    Oops... Gotta go! Acupuncture with electricity to try and help some tendinitis developed from working out hard after ten years of sitting on my *kitten*. Wait! Does that 10 years count for this list???

    Sadly, most of my dangerous crap happened in my old drinking days.....

    I once got drunk and fell asleep outside under my neighbor's truck. Oh, it was winter. In Idaho. And I was in a tank top. All of my drunk friends were out looking for me. My firefighter friend finally found me. Very, very dumb.

    Also tried to drive a friend home drunk, but ended up running out of gas in the snow in the middle of the night. Sat in the car freezing our *kitten* off until another friend picked us up.

    Got drunk and went outside in the middle of the night to ride my new horse. Hadn't even been on her before then.....just wanted to see what would happen. Fortunately she was a kind soul and didn't throw me, but I ended up eating dirt (and later snow and ice) anyway just because my drunk balance was for ****. (That happened multiple times on multiple nights.) To this day I am so thankful I didn't injure my horse being a stupid idiot, with all of the cattle guards, ice, snow, rivers, etc around our place.

    There are a few more but those ones really stuck. Since I met the love of my life I don't drink like I use to, which is good, because I can be a legit idiot.....and now that *I* am 911, it's so much more humiliating to have to call my chief and say, "I won't be driving the ambulance tonight. The call is for me." Not to mention all of my EMS/Fire brothers would slap me upside the head. I've seen enough stupid drunks recently that we've had to treat.....I'd be too embarrassed.

    So many sketchy stupid Internet dates. It's a wonder I didn't end up raped and/or murdered. I have some great $hitty first/only date stories though. My friends think they're hilarious!

    tore the tag off a mattress once.

    i sure hope there's not an outstanding warrant for me. :embarassed:

    ETA: also, apparently my occasional consumption of Diet Pepsi counts on this thread too.

    What is your full name? I am turning you in.

    Eating between 600-1200 calories a day for a few weeks and losing a third of my body weight was probably not the best idea

    we're working on the details of happily ever after, but the in love stage is pretty freakin awesome!

    :heart: :heart: :heart:

    I brought a complete stranger home from Georgetown when I was 18, then stayed up all night watching him sleep so he wouldn't kill me in my sleep. He turned out to be a nice guy, so it was all good.

    Stealing my parents car with my sister at 15 and driving 2 hours away to see my druggy boyfriend in an Iowa snowstorm. On the way back, we got backdrafted by a semi, the car spun and pinned me in one against the bridge, which started sinking. Was very close to death that night.

    The semi didn't even stop. We had no cell service and had to wait for a passing cop to stop and help while cars were just driving over the bridge, no problem. Was pinned for probably an hour.

    I stole my parents' car when I was 15 and drove 45 minutes into the city to bring my friend a birthday cake I had made for her. I had my learner's permit, and my friend was 16 with no license. Somehow we figured that the two factors combined equaled a license or should have in our opinion. We were also skipping school by the way. Then for some reason we invited a bunch of boys over for a party in the middle of the day when we got back. My dad found out about all of this later, and he was not amused (understatement of the millennium...he was PISSED! ). My parents say they hope I have teenagers who act just like I did someday. WTH was I thinking?

    they usually all started with booze and the term, "you know what would be cool?"

    um, high speed racing and running from cops, hitting my friend with a car, technically, he did run into me, sword fought with a friend using a steel rake and a swifer wet jet (same one I hit with a car) I broke my thumb, he split his lip. jumping over camp fires,

    one that surprisingly did not involve booze, a friend and I went up to a really tall and curvy hill with skate boards, the big black trash bags you put leaves in on the worst wind storm of the year. it was awesome, but we did break a few things
