Crazy as in dangerous? Hmhh, most of it will go to my snowboarding exploitations, some of the things we did some years ago was absolutely insane, now that I think of it. Many times we'd do this thing, where you're not quite sure how the jump will throw you (backwards, to the left, to the right), so one did a kamikaze. You're supposed to just ride it slow so you know. But it was more fun to test it with full speed. Let the physics take care of it. Many of us were/are pretty skilled so.. but most of that stuff goes into this category. All of us could have been severly injured at many points with 'OK let's just try if we can make it'. Fortunately we did make it most of hte times.
Few times it has been very close with teh car.. not intentionally, but something has just come up and the situation coudl have been a lot worse. Once or twice, when you made out of a situation that seemed 'impossible' without a scratch, when everything kind of goes into slow motion and when it's over you feel like your heart will explode, it's near religious experience, as if God saved you or stuff like that. Because you realize how horrible th situation was and fraction of seconds and all that stuff. Odds very much against everyone, but you all just sorted it out at th elast second. Brilliant!
So I haven't really done anything what you guys consider crazy on purpose.
Today, you are the waves of the Pacific, pushing ever eastward. You are the sequoias rising from the Sierra Nevada, defiant and enduring.
I've run from the cops before... in a vehicle... and gotten away.
I got into a high speed chase with a guy once (long story). I was going 90 down city streets trying to avoid a confrontation. I got away.
There are other things I can talk about... they involve produce and one of those three person water balloon slingshots. Let's see... throwing pumpkins at mailboxes from cars. Throwing large chunks of snow at mailboxes from cars. Putting a rope on the end of the car and getting on a sled and having my friend drive along an icy road.
hmmm...
I am not proud of any of this. It was fun at the time. It's not stuff I'd do now. But... hey, I was a reckless little ****er. What can I say?
Oh, there were also a few incidents with quarter-sticks (of dynamite).
I do remember when I was 17, stationed in Germany (Crailsheim, 40 Klicks from Ansbach) Route 14...I drank Ouzo, a Greek Metaxa containing Opium, it tastes like Black Licorice and I do LOVE Black Licorice ..
I drank lots of Dunkel Beir as well. Anyhoo, I overheard this Staff Sargent (I am a PFC E-3) bragging he can get anyone anything anytime, heck, he may have /may not have been serious. No problem, I wanted some Hash so up to him at a Disco I approach and in front of several Staff NCO's ask him to get me several Grams
Got me a company grade Article 15 and 40 hours CDAAC (Drug and Alcohol training)
That was stupid!
My first Marriage, lust not love
I remember when I was 16, I fought my Dad and he whooped me like a rented mule
Normal things other than that
Oh, umm, I save some for the simple fact not proud of them, and majority were Illegal, perhaps statute of limitations still on "active"
