When I was 11, the neighborhood dentist reamed me out for cutting around the corner through his damn parking lot. He was so anal. Now this was on a hot summer day. I went back a little while later and poured acrylic pant all over his briught yellow corvette. The sun baked the many different colors of acrylic paint right to that expensive little car of his.
The following summer my goal was to convert a nice well behaved boy on my street (2 years younger than me) into a little rebel tyrant. (His mom told him I was "of the devil" and to stay away from me. lol) Well, he had gotten some M-80 fireworks from his big brother's room. We had a couple of them with us when I spotted a police car parked at the local party store. We placed the M-80's very carefully in the tail pipe of this squad car, lit the fuse , and ran like hell. I damn near laughed myself to death watching the tail pipe blow clean off the car. The cop came running out of the store while we lay hidden under cars in the adjacent parking lot trying not tooo laugh out loud. He never did find us.
The same year during fall, while walking home with friends from our bible class, I could not resist lighting a dired out bush on fire as a demonstration of the "burning bush" of moses day....the home owner was not impressed.
High school was just one big party. I got really wasted one day on booze and a little acid drop and began walking in and out of different classrooms fliiping off the teachers. Thank goodness a friend grabbed me and hid me behind the auditorium before one of the teachers could grab me. I was not so lucky in my senior year when I got busted (at age 17) for selling a joint to a 16 yr old - charged with selling illegal substances to a minor, resisting arrest, assaulting a police officer (had he not tried to frisk me I would not have hit him, really), and being under the influence. Thank goodness I was already signed up delayed entry into the air force and my recruiter talked the judge into dropping charges claiming the Air Force would straighten me out.
Now I'm all grown up and the wild child in me has escaped - damn I miss those days.

lol I thought I am not the only crazy on on here.... adding to my prevous post my just reminded my of when we blew up a porta-potty. We putt a bunch of m80's in a bowl and set it in lol the other bowl with all the crap in there and ran. Boom crap went everywhere and the door flew open. The best part was at the 3rd or 4th porta-potty down a guy runs out cursing trying to pull up his pants. We took off and went runnig.

Dang Mandy, did I go out with you in the '70s?? LOL
My rap sheet is long also.
- Cut school and went on a shoplifting spree when I was in kindergarden
- At 12, stole mom's car every other night to go joyriding for four hours before getting caught by police after two weeks of getting away with it
- At 13, tried outrunning the cops on a Yamaha 175. Five cop cars chased me for several miles before I wrapped the bike around a lamp post and dove head first into it (no helmet, 55mph on impact)
- Various episodes with fire and other pyrotechnics
- During my early motocross days (around age 16), I used to ride everywhere it wasn't legal and ran myself over after falling off the bike during a high speed wheelie stunt. Collapsed lung, 3 days in the hospital, some morphine.
I should quit there before I get into the stuff I did after age 17. I'll save it for the book. |

Back in my Navy days, crazy/stupid things were the norm...
Two of us, on a dare, went streaking (remember that craze?) on board the ship, while underway. Donned only in Snoopy WWI-type headgear & goggles, we streaked up to the bow and back down the other side, in full view of the bridge, with the Captain up there.
The announcement that followed on the PA system, by the Captain (very timid & mild-mannered) was enough to make a biker blush. Was the talk of the ship for months to come... |

I doubt it since I was born in 1975! (you old FART, lol) But I bet if we did go to High School together, we would still be in JAIL!! |

Craziest thing I've ever done would be the most recent-
I spent all my high school earning the grades, applied and got accepted to the greatest vet school I can think of, came up with a solid 12 year plan of vet school, internships, subpracticing, and a solid career afterwards, then decided to dump it all so I can learn all I can about photography, to do journalism and creative writing, and a chance to travel and see the world...
Then told my parents...

Sheesh...guess I wasn't so crazy even in my younger days. Joined a circus for awhile (I was not the bearded lady.) Now those were some crazy people :)
Took a nekked midnight walk during a beautiful full moon (mine was pretty "full", but probably not so beautiful!) around a cabin my hubby and I rented. And it was November in Ohio. (a bit chilly)
In a youth group I was in, the popular prank during sleep overs or camping trips was to "depants" someone...sometimes running off with the item of clothing. When I was about 15, a guy I had a crush on at the time teamed up with a few of my friends and tried to relieve me of my blue jeans. Lucky for me, not so lucky for him, I was wearig my boots at the time. I kept my pants on and he walked around bent over for a few days :) I think he does have children now, so apparently no permanent damage was done. ;)
Probably the stupidest and scariest thing I've ever done was get in a car with a load of friends and the driver was high as a kite...driving to the airport in NYC. I really thought I was going to die that night. I don't consider that crazy...just plain stupid. |

| Helped my aunt sell heroine when I was about 6. She told me I was delivering baby powder. A year later, my grandma told me she was in Hong Kong. I said I wanted to go too. In Thai "Hong Kong" means prison. Thank goodness, I did it once. |

Shutterpug - I can never top your stories. Great and entertaining.
When I was 11-12 that summer, a bunch of girls hung out together every day. The neighborhood was in a new subdivision in the Texas hill country, so there was woods all around us. One day we got the wild idea to crawl into the water/sewer pipes that went underground. I mean, it was pitch black, we had no flashlights and when we felt up, the pipes got smaller and we managed to squeeze through, crawling flat on our bellies. We did that for at least an hour or so. When we finally came "out" we were coming up from a tiny pipe on the side of the road. What were we thinking? We could have been lost for eternity in there.
In college, a bunch of my friends went to Texas Tech, whereas I went to UT. A bunch of us went to Port Aransasa on the Texas gulf coast, for Spring Break so we could all be together again. The worst people did then was smoke pot and get drunk. Well, we were trying to save money, so 6 girls had a room with one double bed. We took the mattress off of the box springs and one night you got the mattress, the next, the box springs. I still remember complaining to one girl that she didn't shave her legs, cause I could feel them, all squashed tight on that bed. SO the 2nd night, it being the box spring night, my friend Jan and I decided, after a few drinks, that we didn't want to spend another night in our room. So what did we do???? We were offered a spot at this condo that the TCU football team had rented, so she and I spent the night with the team. ROFL Maybe guys had more restraint then. Nothing happened. ha ha ha ha (and we weren't that ugly either) I remember waking up and seeing her next to this huge linebacker. We tiptoed out, and walked up the beach at dawn with the most god awful hangovers, thinking - wow were we lucky. ROFL
About an hour before we left to come home, I was sitting in the window, on the windowsill of that tiny room of ours and I pushed too hard, getting up and shot my backside through the window. I still can't believe we never got a bill. |

Hmmm....
I pissed all over a drunk guy who had passed out at the back of a local shopping centre. Me and my mates went back 3 times during the night and he never woke up. We went back in the morning and he was awake and not very happy!

| For some reason most of mine involve cars. Without incriminating anyone and denying all knowledge of alleged events... Trust me when I say that you know the INSTANT that all 4 wheels in a car come off the ground - the front drops a LOT faster than it appears in the movies and the landing is not quite as smooth as they make out :-) |

How come being a "nerd" means that you don't do crazy things? The craziest thing I have done is ride a mountain bike down a hill into an undeveloped housing tract. Managed to survive a 6ft drop, (I was frozen with fear) then after landing getting my feet back on the petals I proptly hit a small mound of dirt and faceplanted. Scars in my mouth and lip tore up a bit.
Melting plastic models, with toilet paper and caps. Lol

Sounds like a good idea to me! I did the same thing - well, minus the having big plans for another path part. Guess that takes the excitement away from it, huh?
On the other hand, most people don't appreciate how crazy it is to be a Creative Writing major and not knowing if you'll be able to use your degree to get an actual job, or just to start a fire outside your cardboard house on the streets of Boston four years from now!

| My mother left on her usual weekend away with her new boyfriend, and my sister and I ( we were 18--legal age to drink at the time) threw a pool party. Our house was for sale at the time and the real estate woman was bringing some clients over to view the house sometime in the afternoon. Needless to say---after floating a bottle of rum and a bottle of coke in the pool and partaking of both---the clothes came off, and I had a little too much and ended up naked on the pool patio floor and passed out ---which didn't go over too well with the real estate lady ( who was also a family friend ) oops! Believe it or not--she never told my mother!! |

Not so much crazy but I still laugh todayâ€Â¦..
There was a loop road that was nice and smooth with an even radius all the way around, that use to burn around pretty quickly late at night. So was in the car with a mate who was moving around it pretty well (noise from the back end as normal) and all of a sudden there is this huge thump, so he throws on the anchors.
Thinking he hit a park bench or something [again] we open the doors to see a new garden bed attached to the outside of this loop road now with about three meters or so of fresh gouge marks and crushed flowers from both tracks and the car sitting in the garden plot up to the door sills with fresh dirt. Oops, So now slightly pissed [that they added a garden mind, not about running through it] he thumps go and all you could see behind was this plume of dirt and flowers. God that hurt – laughed so much it really hurt.

almost forgot about the time I built a huge bonfire next to our motorhome - damn near melted the fiberglass siding. My folks had to jump in and move the thing before it caught on fire. lol
then there was the time we had another bonfire at a friends house and after way too many drinks decided to clean out the garage of old spray paint cans by tossing them in the fire. The next monring, we saw the result of the exploding spray cans - the back of the house was multi-colored.
ah, and the joys of going through the hot teen years near a cemetery.... went all the way with a guy right on top some poor souls grave. You guessed it....we were wasted. The 70's were such great party years.
