What's the craziest thing you've ever done?

Have you ever done something that's just pure insane, wacky, loony, nuts, retarded, CRAZY?
If so, come share the madness and list them here :banana:

None of these things. But I have observed all of these things in people :D

Wore wedding dressed from Value Village and had a tea party in the park with all of my male friends (also wearing dresses).

Took my little plastic Dinosaur Eldon around NYC and asked random people if we could take their picture with him. (he's now being mailed around the globe. In Amsterdam, currently.)

Climbed the scaffolding on the local church (which is an exact replica of Notre Dame, by the way) to the very top.

Dove off the top of a 40 ft waterfall *shudders*

Dove off of the swing bridge in Little Current, Ontario, into the North Chanell.

One night I became very inebriated. I won't say overly-there is no such thing when one is on a tear. I stripped in the bar and danced on a pool table. Then I proceeded to order more drinks in the buff. Later, I met up with some self-proclaimed cholo satanists I had never before met. We all smoked crack and drank keystones to Anthrax. While this is not an uncommon type of evening for some southerners, I have to confess I had never before done any of these things (except for drinking manically). I awoke the next morning in a strange apartment, fetal, nauseated, surrounded by silkscreened harley-davidson motorcycle logos. The Stones mean so much more after angry nights like that.

Goodness me Dori... where do I start!?

1.) The Bin Incident
I was alone in the house in the morning time. I had just got out of the shower when I heard the door go and was for obvious reasons unable to answer. So once I was ready I came down the stairs to find a note from the delivery man saying "Package in the blue bin". (Note: In my area we have large blue bins for recycling newspapers. Mine had just recently been emptied). Obviously, the package had gone right to the very bottom of that bin - bear in mind this bin is rather large. I reach one arm inside to try and recover the package but fail... and in my struggle I brought my other arm inside whilst leaning over the bin. I then fell head first into the bin with my legs waving in the air like a complete lunatic. After a horrendous struggle, I tipped the bin on its side and crawled out.

2.) I got punched in the head.
I was probablly around the age of 7 or 8 when this happened... I was in the park with my friend Rachael, just minding my own business on the swings. This mean bully approached us with her friends; she was approximately 13 at the time. After hearing her verbally abusing my friend, I walked straight up to her, looked her in the face and told her exactly what I thought of her. Only to receive a punch right in the middle of the forehead, which knocked me to the ground. What - was - I -thinking?

3.) A Little Damp
A short one here. On holiday, last year, I dived into the swimming pool whilst fully clothed :lol:
It's the best feeling in the world, but I must warn you, you do receive a few funny looks.

There are obviously more crazy things... however, these are the ones that immediately spring to mind.

[kratsayra]

In high school, my friends and I often wandered the streets of Philadelphia in the wee hours of the morning. Considering Philadelphia's crime rate, this is actually a pretty stupid thing to do. Looking back, I can't believe we did it at all. But we seem to have thought we were invincible. Luckily, nothing bad happened. Maybe we warded off criminals by looking like the insane pack of roaming teenagers that we were? But it must have only been luck those times that my (female) friend and I wandered back by ourselves to her family's house on the edge of North Philadelphia. shudder.

Craziest? Hmm. Well, in my junior year of high school four friends and I purchased two turkeys for a school prank we called, “The Turkey Caper.” :eek2:

We planned to wear disguises, dressing in the rival colors of our high school football team with the intention to crash our school Thanksgiving pep rally with the turkeys, yea! :banana: The plan was drawn up and duties were assigned---there would be two turkey carriers and two door holders, one lookout. I volunteered to carry a turkey, hell yeah. Did I mention the turkeys were alive? The turkey I held was very nasty and started pecking me as we pulled up to one of the school doors. I dropped the bird in the car and it completely freaked out, smashing up against the roof and walls, feathers flying every which way.

My group made it in and out of the gym as planned. Afterward we learned that the turkey went batty and flew into one of the bleachers toppling students. The girls screamed, some cried, and mascara streaked. :p Mission accomplished. Well, not exactly.

The good news is that nobody was hurt. The problem is we only managed to get one turkey inside. The vice principal nabbed our second turkey carrier on the way in. We later learned that the VP had been tipped off by a student in our class--Carla, who had overheard somebody talking about it the day before. Carla lives in San Francisco today.

The guy who got caught sold us out. Parents were notified, and we all stood before the vice principal for sentencing.
:angel: :angel: :angel: :angel:

What do you think the punishment was for the turkey caper crime? :p

Cool thread idea, Lady. ;)

One of my zanier adventures takes me back to when I was in primary school (summer between grade two, three, can't recall exactly). I was standing up on the playground swing, as opposed to sitting on it properly. I used to be known for 'fearless' when it came to how high I'd swing, and my brother did warn me.

Well, my hands slipped when I was waaaaaay high, and I soared off the swing and my body scathed over the fence, which grabbed a piece of the shorts I was wearing at the time. As in, literally grabbed the butt off those shorts. I lay in the ditch as such, very embarassed, kids were laughing their guts out...

My brother came to my rescue and gave me his shirt to cover myself. He walked a crying me home. My mom spanked me for my nonsense....

LoL

Rip, crash, ouch! :p Kiz, that one sounds a bit painful for a seven-year old to endure. :bawling: It reminds me how much I used to love cranking the swing as high as I could get it and leap off and mark how far I landed from the swing. It became my life purpose to jump as high as the clouds! I think that's why my favorite poem is Birches, there's just something about leaving the ground...

"Then he flung outward, feet first, with a swish,
Kicking his way down through the air to the ground.
So was I once myself a swinger of birches.
And so I dream of going back to be..."
---Robert Frost


PS: The punishment for my high school prank was that we were banned from the senior prom. :bawling: Oh we didn't care we weren't going anyway. :sick: On prom night we got together for our own drinks and dreams. Ahhh. :)

[Lily Adams]

I can't repeat the craziest thing I've done here because I am hardcore crazy.

[Pensive]

Studied almost continuously for three days. Got hurt on stuff I shouldn't have. Walked a lot, thought a lot in the most social of occasions. Got quiet suddenly. Waited on a specific person for many days. Hoped that what-I-thought-was-most-near-to-impossible could be categorized in the 'possible' of things. Didn't express myself in the times I most needed to. Kept things to myself which people usually don't mind to get out of them.

Listened to Eminem. Jumped madly on Linkin Park's songs. Occupied myself in late-night musings while listening to songs. Made up a lot of stories in my mind, though didn't write even 0.5% of those. Imagined a lot. Laughed a lot. Laughed even on the stories I had made up inside my head.

Oh and my mother says that in my childhood, I used to recite mathematical tables (like 2 multiply by two is equal to 4 and so on) even when apparently asleep. Probably in my dreams.

Ah well there are so many crazy things to list. Many of them are probably even forgotten and oh these are not only the things that I did, some of these are what I still do. :p

I've been hitch-hiking twice. I've tried (and fell off of) a stadium I've tried to climb. I've asked my teacher out on a date.

[kilted exile]

Impromptu rendition of "folk dancing" in the middle of a crowded dancefloor. I was at college & like all crazy things I have done in my life it involved me being drunk & trying to impress a girl.

We were discussing dancing & to avoid displaying my supreme lack of co-ordination I told her that I couldnt do any of this "new fangled dancing" (yes, I know I am young myself) but that at my school every year the pupils were taught "folk dancing" - something that is quite true. Unfortunately she seemed amused by this and insisted that I show her, I am never one to disappoint a lady (well, when I am fully clothed anyway) so off we went to the dancefloor & I taught her an abridged version of the "gaygordons" much to the amusement of everyone near by. Fun times were had by all.

I awoke the next morning in a strange apartment, fetal, nauseated, surrounded by silkscreened harley-davidson motorcycle logos. The Stones mean so much more after angry nights like that.

:lol: that sounds like ummmm... quite the night!!

I'm going to stay off the drunk and stoned nights for now, I think most of my stories there are are beyond crazy to the realm of stupid, maybe I'll put a couple in here someday...

but, I started rock and ice climbing in the winter a few years ago, my brother was the one who got me into rock climbing as he had been doing it for quite a few years, so I had gone two or three times that winter already... and then I bought all the ice axes, crampons, etc. for ice climbing but my brother went away to mexico so I had no partner to go with...

so me being the kind of random person that I am, I decided to just say whatever, and go out and solo ice climb as my introduction to the sport, so I found a close to 500 ft frozen waterfall, that went up at about 80-90 degrees for the first 400 ft and then was kind of overhanging brittle chandelier type ice, for the last 50 or so feet! and without really thinking I just went for it thinking this would be no sweat... well 400 ft up at the bottom of the steep ice, I realized that this was absolutely terrifying.. so I put in an ice screw, clipped myself to the ice with the one sling i had brought, and tried to relax... and after a few minutes I realized without a rope I couldn't go back down, so I just went for it... and well... I am still here to tell the tale, but it was terrifying to the point that it seemed to take forever to get off the ice, but at the same time, I don't recall alot of how I climbed it, just that my arms felt like they were about to fall off I was so tired from swinging ice tools over my head... (and now I try to always have a partner when I climb ice!)

so, I guess that is one of my crazier moments...

[1n50mn14]

^ o_O That's TERRIFYING!!!

Not my own crazy moment, but I'll share a crazier moment from a party this weekend: two of my insane punk rock friends were in town and having a contest to see who could shove more up their nose. It progressed rather quickly from smaller things to things like dice and guitar picks. Dylan got a guitar pick stuck up his left nostril. Not even stuck... it was so far up there it was LOST. So we had to spend an hour with tweezers trying to find the guitar pick and pull it out. XD. When we finally did, there was a lot of blood.

my crazy story is not crazy as much as it is stupid.

My insane junkie friend dared me to snort (you know those little straw things filled with sugary candy?) well, some of the stuff inside, up my nose to see if it could get us high or anything, you know.

it didn't and for some reason i started sneezing for hours. my turned turned so red!

Well, I'm not really crazy. But I can share a conversation i had with the beau yesterday, when he announced he had recovered his wallet.

So, where had he lost it? One night he was headed on the ferry connecting Denmark and Norway, with his football mates, and in a drunken victory stupor he found himself strolling the deck with a mate. Soon they found themselves mounting the radar of the ship. raised on a platform, and generally considered unreachable. They performed this hazardous climb, in the middle of the night, and standing up to of it, had a true titanic moment.

It wasn't untill the next morning that he realised his wallet was missing, and trrying vaguely to retrace his steps he found himself indeed, infront of the radar. It took him few seconds to realise that there was no possible way to climb up there to check for it, so he left the ferry walletless.

Several months later, it was sent to him by the police, money and creditcards intact, albeit very rusty... A storm on the ship had knocked it onto the deck... silly boy :)

worst part, when he noticed my incredulous expression he laughed and said that this was not one of his more crazy stunts. Another tale for another evening i suppose.

[kilted exile]

Ok, I gave zany earlier. Now for idiotically stupid:

When I first moved to Canada I worked doing maintenance at MacDonalds. I had no idea about OHSA regs or the "right to refuse unsafe work" This lack of knowledge combined with me having newly started there and wanting to impress the boss led to me coming within 6" of losing my right leg below the knee.

My second week of working there I showed up half asleep at 6 in the morning like usual. When I got signed in I checked my list of things to be done for the day. Number 1 on the list was to unblock the compactor.

It seems someone had been in a hurry to leave the night before & had decided to throw a plastic bun tray into the compactor. The bun tray however was way too big for the opener and when the piston arm had moved in it got jammed in place with half the tray hanging out. The boss was insistent that I climb up and pull the tray out. Not knowing my rights provided by the OHSA, I assumed it was a case of "do the job or I'll find someone else who will" So in to the compaction chamber I climb, basically standing with one foot on top of the piston arm & the other on the door ledge.

I stamped and jumped on the part of the tray hanging out, until it was pushed down enough to unjam the arm. once it did the arm rushed back and then forward again. I managed to get my leg out of the way just in time otherwise the force of the machine would've torn it off. I got a cut on the ankle but escaped any serious injury.

Work safe people.

I often decide to ride random horses in random fields bareback and bridle-less. Those of you who know anything about horses know how dangerous this is! This hasn't resulted in disaster (yet) and has, in fact, led me to a free horse!

I attempted baking some sugar cookies, which is just a sweetened dough that you roll out, cut into shapes, sprinkle sugar (or whatevers) on top, bake and then enjoy.

BUT: What was not obvious to me (one who is allergic to kitchens) is that one must sprinkle flour under the dough before rolling it out...

A gluey mess all over the counter ensued. It got bigger and bigger and I got madder and madder ....

and, no cookies for me.

Ever. :rage:

[1n50mn14]

^I KNOW exactly what that's like!!!
I also neglected to let the dough set in a cool place for a little while before attempting to roll it out, which, it turned out, was imperative to the recipe.

I tried to walk across the ice over a six foot deep river tonight, in -15 degree celcius weather, because I didn't want to go all the way around. I fell right through, went for a short Polar Dip, and kept walking toward my destination.
