How about even posing to these types of threads?

Hehe

I did that to my friend last summer. His dad helped (!) and the box went down two steps, got stuck, and gravity took over. He flew out and down the rest of the flight.

When I was young, we would tape the boxes and pad them like actuall rides, and then send us down.

Stairs huh??? How about going down stairs on rollerskates? That was when I was 5.

Or riding your bike and checking out a girl, not watching where you are going and flipping over the handlebars and getting 14 stiches in your leg as a result??

Did someone say monorail?? Yeah I broke one of those.

Or how about this escapade?THIS WAS FUN!!!

Then there was the time I had a mohawk, actually that was at BattleCry 3!!!

Oh yeah and then there was the time I got a speding ticket coming back from a Lego League Event, That sucked!

Or what about the time we fed a friends dog Mt. Dew!!

Oh and lets not even bring up the subject of my cool color car again!
Me "It's purple"
Anyone Else "It's Pink"
Me "It's purple"
Anyone Else "It's Pink"
Me "No wait, It's Thistle!"
Anyone Else "Thistle?"
Me "Yeah, a cross between Pink and Purple!"
Anyone Else "Oh Brother!"

I HAVE DONE SO MANY STOOPID THINGS, I COULD GO ON FOREVER!!!

Here's one...

I've got a few, but here is one:

I was a senior in high school (just a few years ago ). The local Rotary Club would ask 2 seniors to attend their weekly lunch, so I got to go. Here's the way it worked: each senior got to go two weeks... you would get asked to go to this lunch, and then sit there for the first week... for the second week, you had to introduce yourself and "say a little something" about yourself.

During my first week at the lunch, another student who was an exchange student got up and told the group how her year in Brazil was. The next week it was my turn... so I proceed to pull out my notes and give these local business leaders 10 minutes on who I was at the wise age of 17. Little did I know that all they wanted to hear was my name and who my parents are... they just sat there and stared at me.

When I got done, many of these guys said stuff like "Baker, I didn't know that you were longer winded than your dad was", and "my, Baker, you should go into politics".

There ya go.

Andy B.

Unhappy

Hmmm... dumb things eh? My friends take the cake I mean there was that one time they got busted for repelling into the school at night.... oh or that other time they got busted for stealing a phonebooth from a dumpster and trashing it in the park...
Oh and then there was the time they boosted and sorta blew up the chevette...(long story... let's just say I dont like being near the back streets by the zoo for fear of that towtruck)-pm me or something if you want to hear that one..
Alright, but here's mine happened Thursday actually. I decided to go rollerblading, I haddent been in a while and I want to go down to the bike pathed ravine by my house and see if you could still get to this one spot. Well, there's this really big hill with a winding path at the top of this ravine. So I decide... it's got railing, I can make it down. Now, at the top of this ravine, there's a few signs, one of the things one says is bike riders must walk their bikes down the hill.... I now know why....
I start going down this hill, realizing the rail doesnt start for the first bit.. I'm picking up a LOT of speed, I had to be doing like 40km/h atleast... and I try to grab the rail on the first turn.. and I skidd out! So I'm lying on the ground laughing at myself.. I scratched up my leg really bad, and I had a nice big scrape on the side of my a**. And it hurt.. But I got up and figured, well, I've made it this far. So I start side stepping down the hill, I get pretty far.. then I get to this ditch part and the rail was ending, and I fell again.. and it hurt.. but no more scrapes and I kept going... well, as I'm going along in this lil ditch thinking the friction will slow me down.. I start picking up speed again and I think.. bushes! there are tall bushes so I'll grab on as I go and slow myself down... well, I picked up too much speed and purposely turned head on into them to stop. And it hurt... and I have a nice scrath on my like pelvis bone and another on my elbow.. but I got up and finished getting down the hill. Well, I bladed around for a while and then decided I had to get home(this was at 3:50... I had to leave for work by 4:15 latest)
But on the way back i got smart... I looked at the blades, I looked at the hill.. I looked at how I didnt have shoes, I sighed... it wasnt the first time I had walked barefoot in that ravine.. so I walked up! And then when I got home I had to get my dad to help me piece myself together.
But I didn't quit! I kept going! man, I'm really stupid.. *sigh* Hoped you enjoyed my story..
*hugz to all as alwayz.. watch the scrapes*
