View Full Version : Wildest Thing You've Tried [not drugs]
I was looking at the picture of that moron who skydived and got caught on the Statue of Liberty... I recalled a time when I ALMOST went skydiving. Then something hit me. The ground. Rather, I tripped and fell onto it. As I was laying on the cold, hard cement a thought ran through my mind: "If it hurts falling at my height, imagine how it would feel a couple of thousand feet up". With that I hightailed it out of the signup area and never looked back!
What is the craziest, scariest, must have been out of your mind thing that you have tried? I know DancingChris' answer scares me already. :eek: :cheesy: :D

Never bungeed, never skydived, never raced a car, never cliff jumped (not really), all in all I live a fairly quiet life...not that I've ever not thought of doing any of those things.
I don't really have many tales worthy of sotrytelling.
berly cries like Amaurote
I have driven to another state by myself, which according to my mother was the equivalent of posting a sign on my truck that said "murder me, rape me, please! No one will know, I am alone."
berly shrugs
I went to Thailand. I rode in the taxis there. That was risky and scary fun!
Back in 86 I fell off a balcony landed headfirst onto the yard on the side of the house. Concussion, broken lower back, a couple cracked ribs and stuff.
But that wasn't the worst part ...
NOBODY... was around to help. It was at my Dad's lakehouse (weekend getaway type place) and I fell on a Wednesday night.
I don't really remember coming too and am still not sure how long I layed there. I do remember feeling bugs all over me and finally realized they were ants.
I am guessing it took me awhile to make it onto all fours as the ants were really stinging by then. Once on all fours I could keep most of them off me but couldn't really move too well. The sprinklers came on and seemed to help a little.
Still not sure how but, I finally made it around to the back porch by that next afternoon. I was getting really tired and think I fell asleep, still on all fours leaning up against the house. I tipped over a little later and just layed there and groaned.
I was saved by a dog that night! Turns out a neighbor was walking her dog and the dog kept pulling her towards the house. First time by she disreguarded, thinking it was a squirrel or something the dog was after. Next time by, the dog managed to pull her to the side of the house where she got close enough to hear me groaning.
That was the scarriest/longest 24 hours of my life! I got scared again just typing this out :eek:
That sounds terrifying. I think I'd be freaking from the ants alone... The idea of lying there. I'm glad that you're alright, DC. So, how'd you fall off? Slippage or spirits?
The wildest thing that I have ever done was mud wrestling. Well... That and the 976 thing. *cough*

Boy Chris, you have an angel by your side!! Diva, what in the world is 976 thing??
BTW, climbing up a latter and looking down is the wildest thing in my world.
Oh man, Red. It's a... Ummmm.... You havent heard of the phone numbers that start with '976'? XXXAdultXXX conversations, how's that?

I have led a sheltered life!!! I thought it was 1-900 that was XXX
Illicit substances, shoddy carpentry both of which I was responsible for ... funny how I left that out?
aussie,
I guess we should attribute Diva's behavior to the cold and flu season? Unless you know something I don't?
Oh and like Red, I have led a sheltered life also ... Diva, I think we need an example
I'd put you in a head-lock... But you'd probably enjoy it.
come on, man... No dare-devil stunts? Trying to impress? You'd be one of the first people I'd think would have some antics to share.
Yes I would like it ... but only if it's at the Galleria. I simply adore public beatings!
K ...
My short lived motocross career garnered much press in my social circle.
These truths were self evident:
50% chance I would invite my new girlfiend to a race
77% chance I would show off
89% chance I would wreck right in front of her
99% chance I would have left my cup in the truck!
Signed,

Good one, DC!
I guess ridig in the rodeo was the wildest stunt. I rode a bucking broncho and did a good job. Then someone talked me into trying the bull afterwards. I was wearing a red shirt at the time and didn't realize it til that bull started kicking. That was the ride of my life followed by the fastest sprint. :wow:
When I was younger, I used to own a horse. I rode in a couple of rodeo competitions, even got a couple first and second places for the cloverleaf event.
When I was learning to ride they put me on this horse who was the biggest pill. She started bucking and I got right off. The trainer said that I should get back on and show the horse who's boss. I said, "He is. Get me another horse." I actually got back on that sucker and after a while the horse stopped bucking. Man that was scary.

I surfed some water in bali once that scared the hell out of me. A lot of the guys backed out and didnt even go in the water. I DID IT !!!! YAY
It was due to the fact that the "boys' saw that turd floating in the water, and didn't want to tell you.

You could be right there chris because there was a few boys out there that afternoon with a suspicious brown stain running down the back of their legs. Im sure a few kept their wet suits on as well so no one would notice. :D

Oh yes, Red. It was horrible. Barny the shoe salesman was dragged for half a mile. When they finally caught up with the shark, all they could find was a shoe. River sharks are viscious breeds. But they're not as mean as *shudders* LandSharks!

Woo Hoo! You go , Red!!!
Hey oz... There is a very popular show that's been running for years. It's called Saturday Night Live. Over 20 years at least. They had this skit where a woman would be sitting an there'd be a knock at the door:
Lady: Who is it?
Landshark: Plumber.
Lady: I didn't hire a plumber. Who is it!?
Landshark: Flowers.
Lady: What... for who?
Landshark: Plumber
Lady: ...you're...that crazy shark aren't you?
Landshark: No maam, I am just a dolphin.. will you let me in please?
Lady: A dolphin! Ok!
She'd open the door and this big foam shark would 'eat' her.

*chuckles @ Red's naivete' then heads for the wildest antics and pranks file*
Lesseeeeeeeeeee, oh here's one, we'll start when I was just a tad, My uncle and his pal were stayin' at our mountain house and I worshipped their south Fla. biker attitudes. Well we had made a rope swing that swung out over the side of a forested trail. The trail hadda hand rail coz the incline was somewhat steep. Any way, my uncle and his buddy would swing out over the trail up into the treetops and grab a limb and kinda hang there a minute before letting go to swing back. None of my siblings would submit to this craziness, *grinz* but I did. They decided that it would be best if I got up on the handrail and gave me a good shove to really get me up high so I could grab a limb. I stepped up smartly and took my position, swung out into the trees and LET GO OF THE ROPE! After crashing down through the branches and hitting the bank of the stream at the bottom of the hill. Beyond a few minor cuts and scratches, I have no idea how I survived. Pure dumb luck? Thick skinned and skulled? *shrugs* To this day, my uncle beams at my fearless endevour into the trees.
Usantics! i knew you were a wildman! WooHoo! Did you yell out a George of the Jungle call... or scream like a girl?
It's amazing what we'll do as kids. Life is forever and old is a disease you don't think that you're going to catch. I remember thinking that life would be over at 25. Married with kids. I'd somehow settle down and get married. I had a plan. I think that was my first mistake. I never tell teenagers, " You have to have a goal." That's like saying, "you have to swear that you're going to do something that you'll never do and be bitter about it for the rest of your life."
I don't remember yelling or saying anything. I just realized that it was definately NOT the way my uncle and his buddy had been doing it. Its funny, you get that transitional feeling of,,,,,,,Uh Oh.
Ok,,moving on to the next case of pushing the envelope. When I was a teenager, I would head down to Ocala, Fl. to stay with another aunt & uncle. That uncle is hilarious and we would go
out and about and he'd let me drink. I know, I know, a contribution to my delinquency. ( it was a blast! ) Well, one night
he got this fantastic idea. He would go into this strip club
and hang out for a bit while I waited outside for about 15 mins.
Then I was to go inside with a tragic look on my face and ask if
(sniff sniff) any one had seen my dad. The bar tender just waved to the lounge area and said go ahead. I could hardly keep from
putting the biggest grin on my face as I made my way over to my uncle and took in the eye candy before me. My excursion into that place I know only lasted a few minutes, but it definately made it into the wildest files for me. ;)
Oh man! Adopt me into your family! Hah!
When I was a kid, I was skinny and had big eyes. Women would always say what beautiful lashes I had. Like a womans. I didn't much like that kinda compliment. My mama took me to get a hair cut and we had to rush out. When she finally looked at me, she was furious. My hair was cut a bit too feminine. The hairdresser thought I was a girl. My high voice didn't help.
My older brothers dared me to do this. I'm just placing blame. The highschool cheerleaders needed someone to be a 'towel-girl' of sorts. So I put on these baggy white clothes and cleaned up around the locker as they showered. It took em about three days of me dropping my jaw to figure things out. My brothers all got in trouble for 'forcing' me to do such a horrible thing. :D
Jake I just realized something ...
You are my hero! I have always wanted to do something like that. Well, you know what I mean. How did you get caught?
Bad Jake! Bad Jake! Hahahaha!!! I'll bet those girls gave him the towel snapping of a lifetime!
Well its probably obvious the way you got caught,,,,, those school house towels only cover up so much and starin' at those young babes would getta rise outta any young man I'm sure. :wow:

For you I changed my pic, Yes was stuck in a cave between two rocks, couldn't go up nor down was very dark gives me the chills thinking about it. I finally worked my tank off slipped through and made it up.
Yay!!!! Cutie-pie! You were alone? I thought you had to do the buddy system when diving? So you were diving off of Cali? Have you ever dove in Tropical waters? They seem so colorful. With the cute sea turtles!

once i got a dare to rob a hot dog from a street vendor. doesnt seem so much a scary idea until i figured out they take that as quite an insult. the guy left his cart on the street and chased me forever, quite scary.
*my first post* :baby:
I certainly hope you haven't taken any dares lately. Did you get to eat the hotdog?<-------I lead the league in stupid questions
Just say no to dares:
Aussie dared me to ask Diva to marry me. Of course I did, and I have been fodder ever since.
*waving to jellybean*
Hey Zippy Welcome to NCT I do believe you'll enjoy the interplay round here.
Head to the introduction section and get up the soapbox and tell us a little about yourself. *grins* Just be careful about the australian lingo.
Hi Zip! Welcome aboard! You'll love it here!
Fodder? Why DC, I don't think of you as fodder! *Handcuffs DC's hands behind back, then gives him a big ole hug!*

I been just about everywhere diving beside the great barrier reef, Mexico (Beliz and Cozumel: not sure on spelling), Keys, Bahamas, Hawaii. Honestly I like our pacific ocean best, nothing like it around the world some islands most Southern California people don't know about the Anacapa's , Santa Barbara Island, San Nicholas Island, ofcourse Catalina, and on a good day you can see most of them..... I only named a few, Oh yes did get to ride a sea turtle and 20' whaleshark :cheesy:
*sticking pinky and thumb up for dancingchris"
Diving is awesome!!!!!!
It is a great world down there isn't it Jellybean? Have you tried any diving in the southern Carribean? The entire island of Bonaire, has got a fantastic marine sanctuary. I haven't done any cave diving and definately don't plan to. I'd be suckin' air outta that tank so fast I'd be doomed the moment I entered the cave!
Here is a shot of my buddies and I down there. Those Antillians know how to party. Oh,,,,,,,,, the dude givin' me the finger got adjusted once I got the film back.

Woo Hoo! heck out usantic! The wildman cometh!
Has any of you come across sharks or other prey while surfing, fishing or diving? I still get the heebee jeebees when I think about that Eel in the movie "The Deep".
I guess the closest I ever came to getting my self bitten was one day we were out fishing on the edge of the continental shelf for sharks. We had been at sea all day and poured over half a metric ton of berly over the side of the boat with out seeing a scale. The day was stinking hot and about two in the afternoon my mate decided to go for a swim so being not so bright I joined him. We swam for about half an hour diving off the boat etc just generally having a good time. After we had had enough and got out I sat on the floor of the boat lit a cigarette and took about two draws when one of the reels clicked just two or three times. It was about then I got that feeling in the pit of my stomach like Id just swallowed a house brick, that reel clicking meant something was hanging on to the bait. Ordinarily that would`nt be such a bad thing but in this case the bait was a forty pound tuna nothing small holds a forty pound tuna. The upshot of this was two hours later we had a two eighty kg plus tiger shark laying on the floor of the boat and we were off back to the club house to weigh in (we were fishing in a tournament) When we got back we went to hoist the fish to weigh him and as we lifted him his stomach dropped out ( that happens with tiger sharks when you pick them up by the tail) Laying there on the deck of the boat was the chicken bones we had for lunch and the empty bottle my friend had filled with water dropped over the side an hour before we went swimming. That fucker was under us the whole time we were swimming.

Damn, Aussie! I would have been shaking like a wet dog! Those things are agressive! I'll stick to fishing on land. The idea of the fish being able to bite back scares the hell out of me.
When I first heard this story I just about died. Just knowing that the shark was just lurking there, watching them swim around is terrifying! Look how big they are!

I think of all the sharks white pointers have the reputation that tigers deserve. Tiger sharks are the real eating machines of the sea. There is nothing they wont try and eat my dad is a professional fisherman and tiger sharks are often found with a stomach containing garbage.
I have been scared out of the water twice by sharks and once or twice had a tightening of the stomach when dolphins sneak up on me. So far though Ive never been bitten
You had sharks around you? How close did they get? Do they circle you like in the movies? Yikes!
ozblonde
03-01-02, 02:08PM
Ive seen two Diva and neither time I stayed around long enough for them to circle anything. Shaking hands with the cute little fishy is not my idea of having a good time.
oz, do you call it a day? Or just wait until you don't see them anymore and then go back in? I'd call it a lifetime, but I'm a land person by default.
