Ooops. Sorry CE. I get carried away sometimes.

I would post the stupidest thing I did, but I just posted it in a different thread yesterday. The thread is called "People are Stupid..." I believe. I dont think its necessary for me to re-post the same story.

I think one stupid thing I just did-I SPAMmed in CE's thread :(

Stupidest thing....ummm...possibly setting my friend Joe's foot on fire while he was asleep. He was wearing socks, so we soaked one of them in Zippo fluid and lit him up. His sock just burnt right off, and he didn't wake up until it reached skin :D ...

Another: Attempting to make a bomb. (yes, also while caned). We bought about 600 matches, only to discover that they were safeties, so we just had to throw those out. Then we got a tennis ball, bought 400 matches (non-safety this time :) ) and used a Clipper and some keys to make a hole in the tennis ball, then we spent a whole evening biting the tops of the matches (only the ignitable bit) and putting them into the ball. When it was completely full we ripped some of the sandpaper off the sides of the match boxes and put it through the hole too, reasoning that as the ball was thrown, the friction of the matches shaking about would cause one of them to spark. At about 3 in the morning IIRC we went and threw the bomb high into the air on the street, hoping for an explosion. I tried to persuade my friends to let me throw it through the window of Victoria Wines, so that it would roll down the stairs and bust the door open, giving us access to free liquor*. However, they unanimously felt that this was not a good plan. Anyway, the bomb didn't blow up, so we filled it with aerosol deodorant and then rolled up about a foot of Rizlas into a tight fuse. We ventured out into the street again and placed the ball on the pavement, and lit the long rizla fuse. The fuse burnt entirely away without igniting the ball.....so we just coated the whole thing in deodorant and attempted to toss flaming matches at it (we were all to scared at this point of having our arms blown up). Our next effort was to use the deodorant and clipper as a blowtorch (you knwo the way) to light the ball from a slight distance. All this succeeded in was accidently setting fire to the plastic cap on the deodorant, and eventually blowing the bottle up (after we had dropped it and bolted over a wall). After that we no longer posessed any flammable chemicals at all, so we went to bed.

*Moral: Don't do arson, kids :) .

@Frogus: You could've just chucked the ball at a wall or something. That's how it worked for me. :D

Like Tibby, I posted my worst blonde moment back in the People are Stupid thread...

Have I ever told you guys about the time I accidently rear-ended a cop's wife because of some dang ill-placed Christmas lights? **grin** It was a bad Christmas holiday, that...

I see my avatar is no longer mine... **evil-eyes Frogus** :p :( :eek:

Thanks folks for not going into detail about NWN and Morrowind here (although I understand it, I was also quite disappointed by NWN, which I'm going to post in the NWN forum sooner or later. )

@Weasel: ROFLMAO :D Those incidents explains a lot about how you came to be like you are today, eh? ;)

@Chanak :eek: The people running the place must have been very happy :D

@Tybalt: Read your story in the "People are stupid" thread...LOL :D Didn't realise that thread was still active.

@Ode: Sounds like a very disgusting cake - uack! Remember not to let you invite me for dinner if you are going to cook yourself :D Regarding climbing in the quarry: yes, its' a rush, isn't it :rolleyes: That's how I started climbing...

@Frogus: :eek: Who could have thought you're such a little monster?

@Aqua-chan: I hear this calls for a more detailed telling of the story... :D

I think my masterpiece was when I was cleaning my moped at the age of 15. Being lazy as I am I decided to put something heavy on the front wheel, turn on the engine and clean the free swinging back wheel just by pushing the cloth against it while it was spinning slow. Worked pretty good until I got my hand beetween chain and tooth.

:eek: :rolleyes:

Fortunately the only permanent damage from that experiment is a funny crisscross pattern of scars across the back of my right hand.

It's been years, but, I remember this story in full detail. It technically wasn't *my* fault because I wasn't the one who put the Christmas lights up. However, I had a lot to do with it and it still is really stupid. :rolleyes:

(By the way, C Elegans, good ta meetcha! I wish my ID photos would come out as good as yours did... :p ;) :D )

It was the first Christmas I had my driver's liscence, so I was kind of shakey about driving yet.

Those of you who know me well also know that I put things off. Like buying Christmas presents. I always wait until last minute and rush around in circles on Christmas Eve trying to get everything wrapped up.

It was two days before Christmas, late at night. I'm a nocturnal person, so I decided to get all my shopping done around midnight-early morning.

Just heading home with all of the boxes and bags in the backseat, I pulled into an intersection right in the center of the city with stores on either side of the street. I was second in line with two other people behind me. Red light, and I realized that my purse was missing.

I started flipping out, because I have lost an uncountable number of purses ever since Jr. High. I turned around and started digging through all of the items in the backseat, frantically looking for my purse. Soon after, I realized that it was on the floor in the passenger's side.

I only glanced up for a second when I saw a green light. Unsure how long the light had been green, I flipped and hit the gas peddle.

Seconds later, my car rear-ended the SUV in front of me. Of course, the driver was the wife of a cop and had her son in the car along with her... **sigh**

SO, I got out of the car. Here's this woman screaming in my face about how her "husband was a cop", how I "gave her son a backlash and caused tissue damage", and about how badly "my ass as going to get sued".

Somehow, amidst all the hell that woman was giving me, I realized that the stop-light was still red. It hadn't even changed, which got me extremely confused.

When my story was given to the police after they arrived, they seemed quite confused as well. Eventually, one of the officers went and sat down in my car, bent down into the passenger's seat and looked up, just like I had done. When he came back he was laughing.

Apperently, one of the street-lights on the corner had been decorated by the shopkkeeper nearby with garland and green lights for the holidays. The green glare reflected into my windshield, and I thought it was actually the stoplight.

Believe it or not... I know it's hard to believe: they had to explain it to me a few times before I even bought it. I still kick myself for that one to this DAY.... :rolleyes: :o

**goes and hides**

Well, I hung myself in the back yard as a child, (playing cowboy) :rolleyes:

I cut a peice of my ear off trying to give myself a haircut at age 4 (not a big peice, it is unoticable) :D

A couple more things in my teens I can't say here.

And on my first day at work when I started for the college, I got a call that an employee could,'t get on the network. So, I looked at her machine for awhile, scrtached my head, cursed under my breath, and nothing helped. About 30 minutes later it croosed my mind to look, and , behold, her cable had come loose from the NIC :rolleyes: I learned to look for the obvious first on that day :D

too many damn things

While sitting here eairly morning at work I have come to the conclusion I have to many damn moments of stupidity. I am starting to be afraid.

I'll choose a good one.

I was at a good sized park, you know basketball nets... sand part with the slides and such. And randomly located benches around a path that circles the park. Well these benches were free swinging, like a large swing. BUT they had a good and long chain that kept them bolted to the ground (To keep one from ever achieving the swinging nirvana of flipping all the way around).

Well we broke the chain really quick.

While sitting three people in the bench, one other person would stand on the back and push with hsi feet (his hands holding onto the bar on the top of the swing set) in essence the fourth person pushed the crew.... and at the right time leaps off using the weight of the others and the controled momentum to fly a good six feet.

I decided to attempt to achieve the same status, without the three other members. My goal was to push the large bench seat/swing so hard that it would almost flip over... but come crashing down and break into pieces all the while my leap of faith would put me clear of any danger.

I wasn't in physics class yet. You see without the counter wieght I just pushed myself into a verticle slip. Causing me to fall about three or four feet straight onto my extended arm while the bench came back and crashed into my pain stricken body.

lets just say I snaped my arm clear in two and got a bunch of brusies from the bench...


and that was on a good day

I answered "Yes, you do" to the question "Am I looking fat with this clothing?" when my girlfriend asked. (To those who don't know yet, there is no correct answer to this question, but the one I gave surely is one I couldn't be more wrong with)

Not hard, "You don't want a biased answer, Do you?" If she persists, "Clothes don't come with there own fat, do they?"

P.S be careful, never tried it.

<Brett..err Thug> (Thinking to self, no not really your bum is rather nice shaped... although she did scratch my cd's up today... damn devil woman) "No its not your pants that make your a$s look fat, its your fat a$s that makes your ass look fat"


Lets just say she only got one good hit in before I got out of the room.
