whats the craziest thing you have done?
 

i came across this article today which i found not only amusing but damn right crazy!

a guy in new zealand went marlin surfing by spearing a marlin with a speargun which had a float attached to the rope. it took him marlin surfing 3km out to sea with his mate following in the boat.

crazy mofo's i tell you.

so it got me thinking about the craziest thing ive done. i cant say ive done anything anything as crazy as that. not by a long shot.

but id have to say that i swam to an island about 1km off the dubai coast (and back) in heavy traffic (jetskis, boats, water skiiers etc). on the way back i was approached by the water police and refused to get into the policeboat. so they followed me into shallow waters to make sure i got in ok.


anyone done anything crazy stupid?

i got married LOL KIDDING!

One crazy thing i've done was i got my cootchie pierced one night, not even planning on it... smoked pot in a church bathroom, and a jr. high school bathroom during summer school.

I went skinny dipping off of the dock at my aunt's old lake cabin on one of the busiest days of the summer season in the middle of the day, just because my mother bet me I would be too chicken to do so. Clearly, she underestimated how comfortable I am in my own skin.

It was fun!

I've never really done anything crazy stupid. I have urinated in a public park in Portland, Oregon, but that was because it was after midnight on New Years Eve and there were no open public bathrooms, despite the hundreds of people wandering around downtown, and no establishment would let us in without paying a cover charge. We went down to the South Park Blocks thinking there might be something open there, but no, they were all locked, so I just squatted against the side of the building and went.

I've also smoked pot out on the sidewalk in Seattle. We were visiting a friend who was a student at the University of Washington and lived in a fraternity. His frat wasn't cool with him smoking inside, so he just went out on the sidewalk and did it. The cops rolled by the end of the street while we were smoking, but the cops in Seattle just don't care about people smoking pot, so long as they're not doing anything stupid.

I'm pretty much a goody-two-shoes, always have been.

Your mom.

I used to pretend to be blind a lot. I'd cross streets, making cars wait, and then trip. One time I felt a cashier's face at a grocery store, in order to determine if she was smiling. I'd talk to walls, coat hangers, dogs; just generally really offensive stuff that I found funny at the time. Some of it's on videotape somewhere.

I orchestrated and carried out a plan to put a small pickup truck in a tree, but I'm pretty sure I posted about that already.

fell out (not jumped) of an airplane.

Pfft, I've done 40+ times. That's not crazy. Some people get paid to do it.

...

Wait, was it still on the ground?

funny you say that. she told me you were quite ordinary

I swam to Mexico in my underwear.

OMG i love it! That's awesome!

I once flew a 4 seater Cessna plane on LSD with a one armed co-pilot..2 of my friends in the back seats saying over and over she is gonna kill us...she is gonna kill us.. The best part was when we were flying over a local mall, the co-pilot (the actual owner of the small airport and plane) turned the engine off... boy howdy those 2 boys in the back did not like that one bit! Needless to say as we approached for landing, i could not do it, i was trippin too hard. Just told the guy i wasn't feeling well due to the heat and he needed to take over.

Well, maybe that shouldnt count because it wasnt something I did, just something that happened to me. But hey, scared the hell out of me. It was one of the times I went skydiving. I was in a tiny cessna, the plane went through a cloud, turned, the door was open and because of the cloud everything was slippery so when i tried to hold on I just slipped. Luckily it was one of my first times so I was still using a static line. But holly crap... one second you are in the plane talking to people, the next you look down and you see your feet crossing the horizon. And falling that way meant that when the chute opened I was jerked in kind of an awkward way, repositioning my leg straps in a way that I was more sitting down than standing.

I proposed after dating for 2 months and we were married in another 5.

Separately, I've paid for 3 sets of nipple piercings for various females, as well as a frenum for myself. Finally, this board used to host my RiskyFun pictures, wherein I drew a risk board on my girlfriend's naked torso and played a quick game with some friends.

Both probably more stupid than crazy...

I walked twenty blocks alone after midnight (the subway didn't run along that stretch after 11pm) on my way to Times Square and Port Authority to catch a Greyhound bus leaving at 3:20am for a weekend trip that I lied to my parents about in college. I was only approached by one person asking for money the entire walk down and probably lucky I didn't get mugged, raped, kidnapped, etc.

With very limited prior experience and no concept of how potent they were, I ate two pot brownies on an empty stomach and walked from campus to my empty apartment on a Friday evening. I was high and hallucinating the entire weekend, and my brain has not felt the same since. Big, big mistake.

Another more stupid than crazy.....some friends and I dismantled a STOP sign (yes, stole) and somehow managed to cram it into a VW Bug. Stop signs are much larger than they appear. I still don't know why we did it. We thought it was funny, but we were in high school and invincible and bored. It never occurred to us that this was actually dangerous and potentially life threatening to some innocent individual. This incident is more proof that brains and common sense do not fully develop until many years into your life.

Did you go for Australasia?

I draw the line at acting crazy, I don't DO crazy stuff....
I did once book a trip in less than two weeks to fly to the midwest and walked and drove around a large strange city by myself for 3 days...yea, it'd be called "running away".
I'm too chickenshit to break the law or take a dare.

I'm not saying until the statute of limitations runs out.

Are we looking at 10 years total?

i never jumped out of a perfectly good airplane, but i did manage to do the fandango with a bale of barbed wire in the back of a security police pick-up and come out alive...

alcohol was involved...

Some really fun, crazy things here. I enjoyed reading about the exploits.

I have done plenty of crazy things. Starting as a kid. Climbing trees, skinny dipping, streaking, sneaking out of the house for a walk at 1:00am, wandering through the woods near home - more than 10 miles of forestry land with no compass or even telling my parents where I was.

Then there's the crazy stuff since I've been an adult. I ain't spillin' on those. :D

I pulled a pistol on my father. He was going to beat my ass for being stoned, & I wasn't in the mood to get my ass beat.

well without going into the crazy shit I did while I was a druggie..


the craziest thing I've done lately is shoot, edit and distribute JumpinJesus' gay porn debut film.

word on the street is that the YMCA's are all abuzz about it.

Oh man.

I just did way too much coke the other day. Kinda regretting that.

Not really crazy, I've binged before.

I don't know if all this drug stuff fits into the "crazy" category.

I mean, I can sit on my couch and drink a jug of Liquid Plumr and that's not very "crazy."

Where's the Chuck Norris-style action? C'mon, TFP.

My first day of grappling, age 16 (I think). My teacher was a bit of a hardass with a quirky sense of humor. i decided to volunteer to go first. As soon as he got on the mats, I charged him full speed, something I've never done before or since (as it's generally such an unprofessional thing, it's just not done). I caught him off guard and floored him immediately. He turned around and had me in some sort of arm lock in a fraction of a second, but I didn't want to tap out. He spun around and kneed me square on the nose, as hard as he could. There was blood everywhere, but I didn't tap out. As he was about to add the extra pressure needed to dislocate, I suddenly yelled, "OH CRAP!". He turned and looked at me, and I breathed out of my nose suddenly ,covering his chest and face in blood. I guess it did the job, because he let go long enough for me to get the upper hand.

I didn't win, but he said that the "nose blower" (my name for it) was the most original move he'd ever seen.

CHUCK NORRIS'D! A+, Will.

Wasn't that a scene from Fight Club?

* * * * *

What's the craziest thing I did?

I got into book publishing at the beginning of the 21st century.

That's fucking bat-shit crazy!

LOOKATME! I'm crazy like a fox!

Boowooogahwoogahwoogah!

PPPPPPPpppfpfffpfpfpft!

Abadeeabadeeabadeee....wooooooot!


Time to stet some fucking shit.....

Who moved my red pen!?

Shit, where's the Tylenol?

Baraka... you are the most dangerous person on TFP and I would be honored to meet you in person some day and have you recite the above lines to me at a distance of no more than 3 feet.

Sorta, but sorta not. I used it to distract, Tyler/narrator used it to disgust only.

Jumping out of planes, bungee jumping off bridges, canyoning (16 metre jumps into black water).

Got arrested for smuggling acid into a somewhat illegal outdoor party... and talked my way out of it!

I think this is going to keep me going for the rest of the day. And Tylenol doesn't even do anything for me.

Cackle.

Not too crazy stuff

- Polarbear swim at -30 C air temperature
- Jump over a kid (he was behind the drop off D:) in snowboarding with my friend, while her mom shouting " YOU ALMOST HIT MY KID" and my friend yelled back "I ALMOST KILL YOUR KID"
- jump off the chairlift at ski resort

Thats all i can think of now ....

I jumped off a perfectly good crane with an elastic band around my ankle. And tried to catch one of the balloons at the bottom. If we caught one, we got to do it again for free. Oh, and I made my sister go first.

I ripped someone's spine out of his body while bangin his mother.

Also, drugs can get very dangerous, and crazy. Just like physical threats, narcotic mishaps can be lethal.

As for crazy things? Got drunk in NYC, went out at 3 in the morning and ran across central park, lied down smack in the middle of the great lawn. Cops could hear us, but never found us. We saw a couple of crackheads walk by quickly, too many homeless people around.
We went back at 4, kicked a bunch of stuff in the streets, ran 30 blocks, all the while screaming and harassing people. And woke up 6 hours later, in time for class.

I would be honored to be left with Baraka in the event of a zombie apocalypse. He's your go to guy in that situation. Don't forget that.

I remember that. Cool.

The craziest things I've done I can't share here as they could lead to incrimination.

You and the white Bronco. We got it, okay?

I've smoked weed and drank a fifth of vodka. Dare me to drive?
Just kidding, by the way. I don't have a driver's license.

Is that you, Marshall Mathers?

Disney on Mescaline.

some crime that involved ramming some object through some ungodly high, wired fence.

moving target practice on I-4.

broke a telephone pole in half with a car that wasnt mine....i was 14.

got drunk (among other things) in Deltona, Florida....woke up in Muncie, Indiana. (Met the future Mrs. Swishy on this adventure)

i could go on for days.
I'm a good ole fashioned fuck up.

Punk rock isn't dead!

It's used regularly in television commercials.

It's been dead for years.

Fine...

Just kidding.

It's only dead in places like North America and the U.K.....

Talk about doing crazy shit. All this in Cuba.

punks alive...it's just been tamed. :(

Graves went to the marines? i had no idea.

i know it hit korea, i had no idea it hit cuba.



heh. crazy koreans.

Sold a perfectly good money-making business, sold our house, and moved to a small town were jobs were/are rare. Still waiting to see how that turns out.

Otherwise, crazy-wise, while out with high school friends, we dismantled an aluminum picnic bench in a park and reassembled it around a basketball hoop pole standing on end. I'm sure the park workers spent a few seconds figuring that one out.....

Oh, and when I had a paper route (waaaaay back when kids could have a route) I smashed a bunch of cat shit in the coupons section of a Sunday paper destined for some old folks because the asshole delivery boy kept stealing the other kid's papers for his own profit. We never did have another stolen paper after that.

I snuck into the Comicon in san diego using the old dodge of delivering an empty pizza box to a vendor. Guess it is hard to find good security help at minimum wage after all...

Smoked weed on Tom Sawyer Island in Disney World.

Swam a broken down boat from the middle of an extremely gator infested lake (i live in florida) to the dock. At 3:00 in the AM.

SSJTwista, how was that Disneyworld experience? I've always wanted to go there and Universal Studios on something like that.

fun. very, very fun.

everyone knew we were blasted out of out heads, but it didnt matter.

most of our bad luck came after disney...at a mcdonalds strangely enough.

oh, yeah. i went to disney broke. i had 30 something dollars in my pockets in singles afterwords. i have no idea how i got it.

Well let us see here, something crazy...I would probably have to say the craziest thing I've done is when Patrick and I had our strange night. Mind you at the time I didn't know this guy and still to this day don't know him that well, we only hung out a couple of times. Our night started when we left our English class together (met him in a college class) early to go drinking at Tarantula's (a bar downtown) but I'm underage at this time in my life. We play some pool I get trashed out of my mind. When then decide to see a movie at the theater on 16th street. But the craziest part of the whole night is I didn't drive to school that day, i took the bus so by the time we were done walking around town and suck the buses had stopped running. Neither of us lived close so we walked from downtown all the way to my house at like 330 in the morning it took us like 2 hours to get to where we were going. That was the walk from hell, but he didn't just walk to his house alone because he didn't live close so i had to drive him home, now this is a night were a cute girl like me would be rapped and killed hanging out with a stranger like that. Who was much older then I was. I was 18 at the time and he was I think 28 or so, so about 10 years older then i was. Boy am I a lucky girl.

i jumped off a pole.

i also jumped into a dumpster head first for food once. damn. i had the munchies REALLY bad that night. acid + weed = mega munchies. lol.

I purposely confronted and argued with my friend, a Brazillian Jujitso Master, swordmaker,
who was drunk, cracked out, and dressed in womans clothing. (womens?)
All his swords and knives he had made were hanging on the walls of his display room.

He was the crazy one, I was the stupid one.
I was lucky to limp out of there with only a nasty black eye and a small chunk taken out
of my calf muscle. Sheesh.

after being "with" a friend of a friend's girlfriend (in an upstairs bathroom) at a cabin party way in the north woods one night, I realized my mistake when he came pounding on the door and hollering bloody murder.... I made my daring escape out of the second story window by jumping out naked and landing in a bush (the bad kind not the good kind) then snuck around to the back and hopped in the lake (still naked) and tried to pass myself off as skinny dipping. grabbed a towel off the dock and saw him running towards me...dropped the towel and ran like hell through the woods, then climbed this cliff-thing that was about 50 ft high and wet/muddy as hell from the rain. It'd been awhile since I'd done my last (blank) and the adrenaline made my sobriety come out (or at least my agility) and I managed to get up to the top while he couldn't. He stood at the bottom yelling at me while I threw rocks at him from the top (still naked) ...and I ended up passing out up there and walking home through the woods in broad daylight . still naked. and bug-bitten as HELL with scratches, etc all over me .He and his (possibly ex, now) girlfriend had already left apparently the prev. night...luckily...oh yea on the way back I saw my other friend passed out in the middle of the road (remember this was way backwoods where no cars, etc.) but I was to embarrassed about being naked to wake him up

spose that's not the craziest thing i've ever done but it's a pretty good story I think

Edit: Apparently, alcohol makes me repeat myself, or forget that I said something.

Punched a hole in the wall once. Not a big one, but enough to hurt. Both the wall, and me.

Blew a hamster off the edge of a table so we could take a photo of it in mid-flight. That was fun. Took two of us to get it to budge, though.

I peed in my backyard once, when I was locked out of my house. It was a fenced yard, though.

Joining TFP!

wow, my life is boring.

The stories I could tell, but I am not about to incriminate myself.

Ran down the beach on the Gold Coast in Australia, naked in to the sea. Getting back to my clothes was a bit tricky!

paint a red barn green only 4 feet from the ground all the way around. (never got paid, go figure)

once I ran thru a biker bar in SD in a tutu screaming "all you pussy bikers SUCK!!!"
