Just getting around to reading this thread and I must say, Walkstop has the funniest, but maybe not the craziest, story of all. You must explain, Walk, why would you want to use their vacuum cleaners??? 1rnfl 1rnfl 1rnfl 1rnfl

A bunch of us teens were squashed into a car and we decided to start tickling everyone in the car including the driver. He (the teen driver) lost control of the car. We ran off the road over a fence and into a field near a creek. We missed hitting a tree, and didn't flip over. We were very lucky no one was hurt, and we were able to get the car back on the road. There were no seat belts back then. But there were lots of crazy daredevils weren't there!! We didn't really think about consequences!

The men posting on this thread seemed to like climbing various things.

I have a scar on my right thumb from another crazy thing I did.

There is a steep hill near a golf course in Reno, Nevada. There's a barb wired fence that seperates the golf course from the steep hill. The barb wire fence is at the bottom of this 20 feet hill.


My friends got the bright idea of riding our bikes down the steep hill and turning so that we would miss the barbed wire fence. Well, I did not turn in time and wound up in the barbed wire fence.

Think I did this when I was around 12 or 13.

OH Tal,

We are so happy it was just your thumb!!!! ;)

Me too. :bigthumbsup: ;D

Had a friend who found a pistol out my Rattlesnake Mountain in Reno, Nevada. He loaded it and fired it. The result was a backfire. Fortunately for him, he only got various sharpnel fragments in his hand. This is more an incredibly stupid thing to do than crazy.

KathieI 06-05-2008 04:07 PM

Re: What is the craziest thing you remember doing as a kid...................
 
Nonie, this is not the craziest but certainly the most stupid:

I was always teased by my Italian family, that I was the most Irish looking kid in our family. Auburn hair and millions of freckles. So one day, I decided to try to count my freckles but it was too easy to lose count. So what did I do??? Idiot, decided to put tincture merthiolate on each freckle as I counted it. If anybody knows that stuff, its like iodine and is impossible to get the stain off your skin. It was okay on my arms, but when I did it on my face, that was absolutely stupid! Scrubbed and scrubbed and couldn't get it off, hundreds of red dots everywhere on my face. I should be embarrassed to have admitted this story.

Not too bright, Kathie

After coming in from outside I was really dirty. My mother sent me to clean up and when I finished, she wasn't satisfied that I was clean enough. She sent me back to the bathroom and said, "this time use some elbow grease". I went through every drawer and cabinet in that bathroom and finally told my mother, "I can't find any elbow grease".

Wet my finger and stuck it in an electric socket to see if everything the "grownups" were telling me was true! They were right, :yikes: always listen to your elders. ::)

Walkstop, funny post. I definitely want to know why you would ask to use their vacuum cleaner.

Forget the surf & turf, Nonie! Looking forward to good company and sharing crazy moments....

Re: What is the craziest thing you remember doing as a kid...................
 
Bare, Kathie,

I must confess, Walkstop is my teenage grandson who I bribed to post under my crazy topic. When he was a tot he had an insatiable curiosity about vacuum cleaners and wanted to examine and try out everyones!

He is normally not allowed in this forum but my topic was dragging a little. Hey it worked, got everyones curiosity up! :bigthumbsup:

renielarson 06-05-2008 10:56 PM

Re: What is the craziest thing you remember doing as a kid...................
 
:bigthumbsup: Nonie

Your grandson got my brain churning...kept thinking and thinking what on earth he meant by the vacuum cleaner...lol

As you can imagine, my imagination went wild! 1rnfl

Nomie,
Your grandson is welcome at my house. Not only can he see it-he can use it. :-* ;D

nONIE 06-06-2008 12:30 AM

Re: What is the craziest thing you remember doing as a kid...................
 
Unforunately he is putting his energy into other things these days. His vacuume cleaner days are over. ::)

I can think of a few things which qualify for this string, but unfortunately, the Statute of Limitations hasn't run out on them......

uh oh Steve,

You just going to let our imaginations run wild??? :dontknow:

LOLOLOL 1rnfl Steve! Bet we can tell how you spent your youth. Either taking the Fifth or drinking the Fifth! :joke:

Re: What is the craziest thing you remember doing as a kid...................
 
um, Steve, I don't know how to break this you but you're a few years past your youth. Barring murder, I think the statute of limitations has passed on your crimes. So, dude, give it up. Confession is good for the soul.

renielarson 06-09-2008 12:20 AM

Re: What is the craziest thing you remember doing as a kid...................
 
:agree: with Steve. Better to keep our mouths shut...for a change! 1rnfl

Let's just say that "public confession" sometimes has a way of attracting unwanted penance....

I read this thread and enjoy reading everyones antics.

My childhood antics? let's just say my hubby says "I weep for your loss childhood."

I wonder if it is to late to do some of the things that I never did as a kid? Sid I do not plan to walk across a bridge the way you did. ;)

I did not even know I was missing out on anything. In retrospect I wish I had some antics to share.

HB,

If you thought really, really hard about it, Ill bet you could come up with something!
You didnt live in a plastic bubble did you? Only "Villagers" do that! LOL LOL

Common, hit us with your best shot! ;) you sure dont lack a sense of adventure these days, that must have come from somewhere :dontknow:

Hyacinth Bucket 06-10-2008 07:44 PM

Re: What is the craziest thing you remember doing as a kid...................
 
Nonie, I guess I lived in a bubble and did not even know it. All my friends were like me. I e-mailed one of my friends and she could not think of anything. :dontknow:

HB? You must have something curious?

I ran away from home on my tricycle when I was about three years old. Think I got more than a mile away on this trike in fairly hilly country in Menomonee Falls, WI. Think this was about when my then infant younger brother came home from the hospital just after my mother had him.

nONIE 06-10-2008 08:00 PM

Re: What is the craziest thing you remember doing as a kid...................
 
Tal, that is so funny. Im picturing you on your tricycle hell bent for who knows where. 1rnfl

I guess you didnt like your baby brother very much did you???? 1rnfl 1rnfl 1rnfl 1rnfl 1rnfl

I remember the cop picking me up from the park I triked to but do not remember much more about this adventure of mine. ;D

Did he give you an ice cream cone or a lollipop?

Re: What is the craziest thing you remember doing as a kid...................
 
When I saw that HB posted on this link, I jumped on to see if indeed I've been wrong all these years telling her that I weep for her lost childhood. Well, it turns out she was posing a question about an ice cream cone or a lollipop to Tal.... Nonie, yes, it's really true when she says she has nothing to report! (Maybe my bridge walking makes up for both of us....)

How about a rolling roadblock to slow down traffic on I-75 south of Dayton OH to race. We'd cruise thru Frisch's Restaurant all night until someone said let's go. The next time you go through the Buckeye State and are between mile markers 44 & 47 don't try it. The traffic today is horrendous. Won a few lost a few. Finally got off the interstate and went to, of all places, Greene County Airport near Xenia OH. Much safer. No planes after dark and just a shear cliff at the end of the runway. One 69 Camaro went over the cliff. The guy wound up driving for Gray Hound Bus. LOL.
