This is a thread where you tell about some of the dumb stuff you did as a kid. please keep it family friendly i know there is some stuff you can't post on here :laughing7: i'll start
My brother convinced me it would be cool to see who could hit the most cars with rocks= grounded for whole summer
jumping on the trampoline with my cousin shooting a airsoft gun at us= nearly get my eye taking out
to see who could go down the rock road the fastest and do a power slide on bicycle= the hide of my leg being stripped off

OK, who remembers honest-to-gawd "Dirt Clod" fights? Kids getting knocked out and cut from rocks in the clods, big bruises and knots on your head! So this one day after school we are having one heck of a fight with the kids from several blocks over. The lot had been bulldozed recently and man we were in dirt clod heaven! I'm throwing at the "commies" and big puffs of "smoke" are exploding all around me as return fire came sailing in. None of us saw the two policemen, until the one in the lead lost his hat to an exploding clod! I wish I could still run that fast! :laughing7:

We like to jump off bridges, dont know how we survived. Wickford Rhode Island has this cool lil bridge that was a nice dunking point between home and the beach. We quit doing it after jumping at low tide one day. Mud can hurt if hit fast enough lol.

My sister once dared me to outrun the bull, I snuck through the barbed wire & under the electric fence and yelled at him. He came barreling down the pasture so fast I tore myself up on the barbed wire getting back out. He tore down the electric fence and wound up with scratches from the barbed wire. I wound up grounded and sentenced to shoveling out the barn, for 4 months. Dad was so mad, i got several long lectures on how we are responsible for the animals in our care.

Who on the solid ice could get closest to where the sewer entered the frozen lake before breaking through might not have been the brightest thing to be doing.
Especially for the winner.

Jumping off three story buildings into the sand pile for the stucco with grand mas umbrella cause we wanted to be like the guys on "Ripcord". Putting a 125cc motorcycle engine on a Taco mini bike frame. Of course we had all the safety gear, t-shirt, shorts, tennis shoes. Took about 2.5 seconds to find out that the metal plate rubbing on the wheel doesn't stop you worth beans! Did you know the door handles in Jr. high are almost exactly the right spot to put you into cardiac arrest when swung hard? It's a fact! Down pillows won't stop a BB, even on the fat kid.

The rest of the stupid stuff I did as a kid up to 18? Uhh, how much server space does TNet have? Never mind, it's not enough........

One of us would climb as far as we could up a young tree, and have our buddy chop through it with an axe, so we could ride the tree down as it fell. A short lived sport.

Building terrifying rope swings across gullies.

The old wallet on a fishing line, laid in the middle of the country road, while we hid in the bushes. When our victim stopped their car, and leaned out to grab it, we would snatch it out of their grasp.

Throwing rocks at paper wasp nests.

Most of the stupid things I did as a kid would be considered felonious these days. Other than the normal bb gun fights, jumping ramps and breaking teeth, playing with matches, the rest I can't talk about.

I grew up next to a funeral home, so the protocol was to be quiet during a service.
I was real quiet when I decided to start a gas cap collection.
I remember like it was yesterday revealing my stash hiding spot to the Police, while the Funeral Director, a crowd of pissed people, and my dad looked on.
Behind a tree, a brown paper bag with at least 50 gas caps, were now being inspected to match up with their owners cars...
My dad drop-kicked my butt so hard, it lifted me off my feet.
Nowadays, he could get in trouble for abuse, but back then, I swear I heard the cop say “do it again”

My mini-bikes gas tank had a split along one seam. My cousin and I, being boy
-geniuses, fixed it with bondo.
After a little more riding the bondo deteriorated. My cousin said I looked like a fire ball coming down the trail.
Luckily a creek ran next to the trail and I drove into it to extinguish the flames. :blob8:
