Most stupid thing you've ever done ...

[The Chap]

From the sublime to the ridiculous ...

I'll get the ball rolling - oh not all of these (but most) are mine but are all true and/or involve close buddies:

Junp off a yatcht pissed. At night. Just off the coast of Aus.
Decide that Bull Fighting can't be all that difficult ...
Take is piss against the side of a certain embassy in Havana and then when the guns are put away ask the guys to sign that you did it to prove a bet.
Admit infidelity.
Tell a lover that she actually has put on a few pounds
Turn down a Goddess on principle.
Buy "Dot.Com" stock
Only joking about the last one!

C'mon post y'shame

[Officer of Engineers]

Got drunk one night during manouvers and pissed on an electric fence.

Pin my newly earned jump wings straight to my bare chest and trying to avoid the Colonel for the rest of the day.

On my 1st leave from mission, I spent a $1000 in a Paris brothel, got too drunk and have no idea if the girl I was with and I did the deed or not.

[lulldapull]

oh My god!

I god-damn OD'd on them Viagra's once back in college at a toga party!!

Damn I had to dial 911!

My entire blood supply....with the liquor ( among other assortments ) was in my giant "lulldapull"! For 4 god-damn hours! Before I realised that ...that might not necessarily be a good thing!.....or I was told so by some very friendly gals!

Eventually though....as all good things come to an end......

the "lulldapull" went down!.......under fat nurse Wanda's watchful eyes , at St Vince's back in Cleveland!

I feel very fortunate. All the stupidist things I've ever done have been while too inebriated to remember.

Ha ha! Join the club!

[Bluesman]

I came awfully dam' close to death whilst looping a non-aerobatic airplane (Rockwell Commander 112TC).

I've never been that scared before or since.

[visioninthedark]

smoking grass with my pals on the roof of my school building and then hearing someone coming up the stairs ..... and then jumping from the roof of one buliding which was about 4 floors high to another building which was three floors high and about 10 feet away from the building we were on ....

there were about 10 of us and we were all high .... and we all jumped ... its a miracle that everyone made it to the other end ...

[The Chap]

Hell! That's the spirit gents! May have to start awarding arbitrary Rock Star points!

[Parihaka]

In no particular order
Turning down sex with a babe (on a skifield) when I was 15 cause I was worried I'd get caught.

Marrying my first wife.

Agreeing with my parents that I'd give up riding motorbikes if I hurt myself. As a consequence I spent six weeks pretending nothing was wrong when I broke 6 ribs.

Hotwiring my Dads MG Midget and taking it for a joyride, knocking the exhaust off on a speed bump and then driving past where he worked to get home.

Along with six others, picking up the headmasters mini and jamming it between two buildings lengthwise

Jumping off the breakwater at Oamaru to save my fishing rod.

Painting the roof of my house, stepping back to admire it and falling 8 metres.
(2 shattered heels and 3 months in a wheelchair)

there's plenty more but I don't want to fill the whole thread myself

My stupid things:

- Calling my 7th grade english teacher a ***** and ripping up the pink slip (pass to the ISS room and refferal to the Dean) because she accused me of "knocking someone over", which did not happen. Needles to say, she is what I called her. I escaped punishment because the class stood behind me and denied her charges lol.

- Acting to slow on "opportunities" with the hot girls.

Things my friends have done:

- Getting so drunk he had to have his stomach pumped and a tube inserted up his "special part".

- Driving into the scrub on the side of the road to escape a bay constable chasing after him for a traffic violation and because he assumed they werent "real police".

- Having a party and telling everyone his parents wont be home until 8:30 when in reality they got home at 7:30 and everyone was caught, including myself.

- Walking up to a group of MS-13 members (Hispanic gang) hanging out by the RR station, while armed with only a baseball bat and attacking them. He gave a few of them quite a trashing, and I should add that he was unijured as well. Now the gang dont hang out there anymore.

- Sitting a major intersection at night in a white ford crown vic and pointing a blow drier at cars, then turning on a red light on the dash when random cars drove by.

Yeah, we got quite a crew here in West Islip lol.

[highsea]

Okay, these are all mine, mostly when I was younger.

-Passing cars on the freeway by driving through a weigh station at 120mph.
-Taking a Honda CBX to 160 mph. on a highway in Eastern Washington.
Too many other motorcycle crazies to list...
-various "passed up" opportunities with ladies, for "gentleman" reasons.
-Racing a rainsquall back to the airstrip in a Cessna 172. It was a tie, and I was hit by a microburst at 10 feet AGL. I touched down. (rather roughly), tried to touch the brakes, and went sideways on the runway at 60 kts. (was able to straighten it out and roll out safely)
-Rappelling down a mountain in the Washington Olympics. Threw my rope over the cliff, and found out I was 20 feet short when I got to the bottom. Had to jump and land in a snowbank, because I wasn't carrying ascenders on my harness. Then I had to climb back up, retie, and rappel back down so I could retrieve my rope.
-Punched a very large American Indian in a bar when he was rude to the lady I was sitting with. (The bartender came over the bar and dragged me out before the guy killed me. Yes, I was drunk)

-This sounds stupid, but it's really not: Scuba diving for octopus. You have to catch them free swimming, and you just swim up behind them and grab them and stick them on your chest. Instinct makes them grab on, and they will inflate your BC, drop your weights, flood your mask, etc. You just make a free ascent, and your buddy collects the gear that falls off as you go. I've got 60 pounders this way.

-And the dumbest thing I've ever done, got busted for DUI. Learned my lesson on that one.

I managed to get an M-113 that was under my command sunk in a swamp once.

The Company commander was less than pleased, and was not at all amused by my comment that i thought they were supposed to be amphibious...

As for driving 160mph, i've been known to do that too...but in a vehichle with four wheels.

Porshce...there is no substitue.

Porshce...there is no substitue.

Reminds me of my brother. He had a 308GTB and his wife had a '69 911T. They went to one of those high speed driving schools, like Bob Bondurant or whatever. Anyway, he said spinning out and heading backwards into the hay bales at 160 in his Ferarri was not a comfortable feeling.

Another friend of mine races classic cars. He restored a Ferarri for a guy, so the guy loaned him a A/C Bristol to race. He was at Portland Speedway, and a guy in a junker TR-3 tried to pass him in a turn and slid up into him. My friend that was driving the Bristol chased the other driver down in the pits and decked him. He ended up having to fly a guy in from England and put him up in Seattle to repair the coachwork. Expensive day at the races.

I have a highly modified and lightened 928S V-8 powered Porsche.

It's pretty fast. ;)

Here's a pic of my baby, and the heart that powers it...

[highsea]

Sweet! My brother had a 928S4. Very nice handling car. I've always thought people underrated them, they were the best car Porsche knew how to build at the time, and were designed to run with 7-series beemers and 308's. One of the best values in a performance car out there, imo.
