I broke my leg wrestling and became a local celebrity.

schroedinger's fat
Got into a roman candle "fight" with nieghborhood kids in a vacant lot.
Still astounded that no-one got hurt.

When I was quite young, my father who has worked for the state his entire life was at some function and was trying to introduce me to the governor of the state (the late Carrol Campbell) and I promptly ran off when he was in mid-sentence because I looked to the side and noticed the local NBC affiliates weatherman, Joe "Mr Knozit" Pinner, further down the steps who just happen to host my favorite saturday morning tv show. When I later met Gov Campbell again he remembered me for that.

I used to write funny stories on the computers in computing class and other students from other classes would read them and not know I was the one who wrote them.
I used to build lots of forts. I know that's not a very girly thing to do, but think of it as playing house... but I had to build the house. I LOVED doing that, built them on the ground and in the trees, out of anything I could get my hands on. It was one of my favorite things to do besides riding my bike over ramps, lol.

i made my very own Charlie's Angels scrapbook from various magazine clippings. How fuckin' cool is that!?? YEAH!!!:y_crazy:
Ok fine, i didnt jump out of a burning shed, but still...it's on the cool meter i'm sure.
other coolISH things i did...
1. Got suspended several times in high school for skipping classes.
2. Hitchhiked home from suspension after my parents refused to pick me up.
3. Pushed another student in the girls bathroom (in grammar school) & wouldn't let him out...we both got paddled by the principal.
4. Fell & hit my head on the ice really hard & i heard ringing noises for hours (could explain why i'm so fucked up now?).
5. Smoked dope with other high school kids.
6. Robbed the local comic book store with some friends.
7. Jerked off with the neighbor kid whilst camping out.
8. Shoplifted ALL 4 of the KISS action figures from the store.
9. Made lots of prank phone calls (long before caller ID).
10. Stold comic books weekly from the local Huck's convenience store.

Haha... I had a Charlie's Angels scrapbook too!!! Sabrina was my favorite, I think I felt sorry for her because she wasn't the prettiest. Weird.. I also remember picking the ugliest doll at the fair because I felt sorry for it.
I once skipped school to go to some caves.. we had roman candles, and decided it would be a great idea to shoot them down there. NEVER POP FIREWORKS IN A CAVE OK? The smoke almost killed us. It was fun though, and it was cool. Drinking in the caves was a favorite pastime as well.
When I was really little, I think I was about 5, I plagiarized a poem and mailed it to ZOOM! (a kid's TV show)
About the same age, I actually saw the Easter bunny, a leprechaun, and Jesus spoke to me from the clouds. I BELIEVED for years after that in all three things. I think the leprechaun may have been real.

I used to steal comic books and smokes too!
When i was a kid we went tubing down the creek a lot.
We'd also camp out in teh yard and run all over town late at night.
We'd go crawling in the storm drains and abonoded buildings.
We were crazy kids. Oh yeah. Vandelism and drugs.

I made a trap for Santa once out of Lego, but dismantled it at the last minute before I went to bed because I thought he'd get angry and never give me any presents again.
Probably for the best since it would have ruined things if I'd woken up to find my parents staggering through Lego with a stocking.

let's see:
went cliff jumping into a jungle river in Malaysia
rode a junk through the Honk Kong river, getting smashed on rum
got in a bottle rocket war with my fellow boy scouts on the dock on lake Chautauqua
got the record for most leaches on my person at one time (42, malaysian jungle again)
broke my leg skiing on a Korean mountainside and had to ride the snowmobile crying my ass off (not cool at the time, but cool in hindsight)
rappelled down a 700ft cliff on the island of Lamut without a safety line (user error)
played the Firebird Suite by Stravinsky with the church handbell choir
got dressed up as a nun and performed Sister Mary Ignatious Explains It All For You as the nun herself, Sister Mary Ignatious
bit a mans ear off in a barfight when I was fourteen (malaysia again, they don't really card people in bars there)
sat underneath the F-14s taking off on the airstrip on the Korean army base, nearly deafening myself at an early age
built a cave-fort in a mountainside, was in there when it collapsed one august afternoon, had to dig myself out (again, not cool at the time, but an interesting study in self-control and human persistance)
rode a plank of wood halfway down a zipline that stretched across a jungle river, rode it until I fell off that is, falling to the rocks below. i cut my back open, slid into the river, remarking, "ouch" and then calmly walking myself back to camp, holding my skin together.
let my patrol past a twenty foot boa constrictor, pausing only to poke at it with my machete and spraypaint, "look out, snake" on the branch above it.
survived in the deep woods of Allegany with a knife, a length of twine, and my wits for six days to earn my Wilderness Survival merit badge (lots of wandering around, eating shrubbery)
watched a meteor swarm on top of the Kuala Lumpur resevoir
kissed a twenty seven year old hotty when i was thirteen (she was drunk, i had braces, hell of a first kiss)
hmm... i could go on if we redefined "kid" to include high school...

Attaching frogs to bottle rockets?
Frying bugs with a magnifying glass (and the SUN!)?
Playing around in new housing foundations with broken beer bottles and boards with NAILS in them, just for laughs?
Riding my bike without a helmet, then crashing on a gravel road more than once?
Digging holes in the back yard to make an impromptu golf course, then getting hit in the head by a flying golf ball? (Helmets weren't required for golf then, either)
Burying stray cats alive in the front yard?
Raking leaves all day into piles, jumping in them, raking them again and setting them on fire to get rid of them?
Voting for Nixon in the second grade mock election?

I got a junta together and fostered the development of a stone-age economy and an organized military among the boys in my after-school program. We were going to attack the kids who didn't want to join (most of them) with rocks and take over their part of the yard, but then the teachers noticed all the sticks and rocks we were caching and started actually watching us.
I didn't have to worry, though, because I had all the white rocks at that time and could buy anything I wanted.
