Stupidest thing you've ever done...

**Cono Este** · 09-29-2006, 10:17 AM

I'd like to say, but people keep telling me to shut about it.

**Buster Highmen** · 09-29-2006, 10:22 AM

There are so many.

Scoring a couple of eyedroppers full of liquid LSD in S.F. dosing in the eye, weaving out of S.F onto I-5 with a blinding beautiful bombshell blazing into the night. Snakes and colored clouds on the road weren't too much of a problem.

But walking into the Truckadero up by Weed at 3 in the morning peaking with a gorgeous chick on my arm wasn't too bright. Fortunately I weirded out enough of the truckers that they left us alone.

1. When I was 4 and had just taken off the training wheels on my bike, I decided that I would jump the curb at full speed (like the older kids on their full size BMX bikes did). Result = 8 hours waiting in the emergency room and 12 stitches on the inside of my lip

2. Agreeing to go bury the eight of weed and paraphanalia that we had in the Utah desert after my best friend, who was driving, pulled over immediately after seeing a "Drug Check Point Ahead" sign on our way to Moab. Needless to say the cops were watching everything I did.

Moved away from Durango.

Stupidest thing I have ever done: Katie... Dumb as a rock

**Schmear** · 09-29-2006, 12:33 PM

When I was a kid I thought it would be fun to try to throw rocks under a passing car. It was fun until the driver stopped and got out.

In college, I decided to make a co-worker nervous by pretending to sit on the hood of her shiny new Prelude (this was 1990 or so). Turned out I dented and scratched the metal and had to pay to get it fixed.

Also in college some friends and I laid down on the runway at a Navy airbase one night while planes were practicing touch-and-gos. We got closer and closer to the landing zone with each plane pass until the runway lights came on.

Too many to list...

1. falling asleep too drunk to fuck with the hottest chick in my college. She wanted it too.. Never came back. Humiliating

2. Quiting my job for a woman and ending up broke.

3. Diving off a cliff and hitting a rock with my head. So lucky..I still have nightmares.

4. Not buying Berkshire Hathaway in 1985

5. Dui(s)

6. Foolish investments in bogus scams.

7. Working for a boiler room selling bogus investments. Made it to 60 minutes. Cost me a girlfriend and my soul.

The pilots can see you there..

I think I could win this on sheer volume alone.
I couldn't possibly begin.
Every story so far reminds me of at least one incident, except for the Boiler Room thing.
Just one for now: Accidentally ingesting 40 hits of liquid, and thereby witnessing a shrewd match between Van Morrison and Satan on the London Tube. Van won, barely.

I'll take the pepsi challenge.

The low end of risk would be the DUI in Vail (quite possibly the most public transport friendly municipality in the US of A).

High end doesn't get to be typed here for posterity. The chain of events that led up to the event and the fall out will never be repeated.

**Millsie** · 09-29-2006, 03:15 PM

Thanksgiving in Vail-late 70's. After drinking in the bars, walking back to the car. Walk down a short stairway to an unlocked door. Open door and its the control center for the utilities. Throw one switch and half the lights in Vail go out.

**Superstar Punani** · 09-29-2006, 03:27 PM

Initiated a high speed cop car chase and got away.

(Edit: Not DUI related)

**GheePup** · 09-29-2006, 03:42 PM

Dove off the car deck of the bridge that spans the Colorado river at Topock three times (Topock is at the boarder between Arizona and California for those of you that aren't from around there). Bruised shoulders and thankfully no spinal injuries. Yeah, I did have spotters looking for boats coming up river but now that I look back it was pretty dumb to swan dive from those heights into 12+ feet of water.

Ditto.......

**woodsskier** · 09-29-2006, 03:49 PM

Called a 1 900 number once...one of my mom's friends answered...
I went through with it anyway!

**GheePup** · 09-29-2006, 03:55 PM

I shoulda iniciated a high speed chase in the Santa Monica mountains once. I know the roads and my car handled way better than the cops and I had a serious lead but I pussed out and just pulled over and waited for the cop to pull in behind me and give me a ticket for speeding and crossing over the double yellows. I still want a pic of my car in a 4 wheel drift coming around the apex of that turn.

Out of my gourd on my bike (pedal power) one night. Left Broadway to head back to UW dorms, woke up next morning on the wrong dorm floor - pounding headache, and a max speed of 42MPH displaying on my bike computer... oh, and no helmet! That easily could have been it for me that night...

**skimoore** · 09-29-2006, 04:15 PM

Probably one of the dumber things I did was to get shitfaced drunk in Whistler Village and pass out (in the snow, during a storm, after being separated from my friends) on a porch at our condo unit. Luckily, some other drunk idiots found me and dragged me inside...I woke up in the hallway. yay! Tequila is bad news, especially consumed in copious amounts with Nova Scotians.

**doublediamond223** · 09-29-2006, 05:41 PM

Recently, post pics in my wallet-steep and cheap thread, which I deleted out of shame.

**mc_roon** · 09-29-2006, 05:52 PM

while camping with a really shitty stove that didnt have a igniter attached to it we got really creative about lighting it. Some of the dumber ones were soaking a stick with lighterfluid, sticking it in the ground a few feet away, lighting it and turning the gas on full. Another dumb one was chucking lit matches at it from a few feet away. Lost a lot of hair on my legs from that one.

**soul_skier** · 09-29-2006, 06:41 PM

copied from an e-mail i sent to my dad after he told me i should show all my VT friends how a californian does cico de mayo

Cinco De Mayo: California Style

I am going to share my story of a Cinco de Mayo myself, a busdriver, the dominos guy, and many others will never forget. It started out with my math final, 8-11pm, and I hadn't eaten since 8am. I get back to my dorm figuring to eat something before the drinking starts, no, my ass gets ambushed with a doubleshot of tequila the moment I get into the hallway, my floor was waiting for me, a nice sentiment, but still painful. 20 minutes and 4 bodyshots later, I realize I still haven’t eaten, so I order a pizza, to kill the 40 minutes, we polish off a fresh 5th of curevo between 4 people. Then before the pizza gets to my room, my friends decide to go downtown, so I am now in downtown Burlington, but the pizza is up at the university.
So I order another pizza to be delivered downtown to the place we are continuing the consumption of tequila at. Once again, when the pizza finally arrives, I am not there to pick it up, I am now on the drunk bus. Anyone familiar with UVM knows about the drunk bus, a bus that picks drunk people up from campus, brings them downtown to get them more drunk, then brings them home in a comatose state.
So, seeing as I was heading back up to campus, I ordered yet another pizza. However, apparently I tried to ride my longboard while inside the drunk bus, an endeavor didn't end too well, could have been my lack of ability, or the fact that I was fucked in half drunk. When I got kicked off the drunk bus, I sort of forgot where I was, so I wandered around till I found people, none of whom I knew, who started thrusting a funnel of tequila in my face, my own fault for not recognizing a frat party. Being my drunk self, I swallow whatever vile contents was pored down my throat, and wander off again but not before liberating a bottle of tequila from their house, finally coming to on the beach off of lake Champlain at around dawn, missing my shirt, one shoe, one sock, (though from different feet) but I amazingly still had my wallet, keys and cell phone and most importantly, the bottle of tequila.
I call my roommate to have him come pick me up, and he wasn't even aware I was missing, he says that I was sleeping in my bed when he got back, and was gone when I called. So, to sum things up, I drank way too much tequila, ordered and paid for 3 pizzas which I never even saw, got kicked off the drunk bus(which I didn't know was possible), woke up on a beach with no idea how I got there, lost a shirt, shoe and sock. The real winner of the night was dominos, an establishment I am not allowed to order from until the next school year.
Some of the phone calls I received on Saturday were very amusing, including one girl who said that I told her, "you owe me a rib and i'll take payment in a lap dance, right now" and my personal favorite, my friend telling me that some drunk kid showed up at FIGI, claimed to be a brother from Arizona, funneled a bunch of tequila, stole a bottle of cuervo then disappeared, still haven’t told him it was me.
Oh, and if you or someone you know is the sketchy person who wandered into my room and passed out in my bed, YOU SMELL LIKE ASS, seriously, I’ve washed my sheets twice and they still smell like dirty hippie.

That reminded me of the time I was throwing Dixie cups full of white gas (Coleman fuel) on the fire pit and decided it would be a good idea to jump through it multiple times. I woke up in the morning sans eyelashes and most of my leg hair.
