Posted by Wowee Sorry, but may I ask how you learned this knowledge?

hanging out the window of a 1972 VW Beetle going 80mph while clutching a stolen shopping cart from a local market on NY Route 185 at around 2am... at 85mph (and yes, the wee little SuperBug was going 85mph), the front right wheel was first to fail. Within a split-second, the front left wheel failed. The front of the rather heavy shopping car dug into that polished New York asphalt and catapulted itself end over end several times (like 20...) alongside the car before flying into the field on the side of the highway nearly ripping my hands from my body. Now the best part was the driver yanked the steering wheel to the left at which point I almost fell out of the car. From the back seat, a mutual friend was laughing so hard, i honestly thought he was going to have a stroke, pee his pants, or both. As for the massacred shopping trolly, as far as I know, it's still in that field.

this is what we did for fun in 1991.
amazingly, alcohol was not involved.

hey, you asked.

I said I may or may not lock this thread if you shared more pictures of boats. And you didn't share more, so I'm locking the thread.

Alright, you've been good, so I'm unlocking it.

That is absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for telling.

moar stories!!! must hear them all. hurry

shopping carts were unfortunate victims of teenage adolescent fury where i lived... we expended five of them in one go trying to get them to land on top of a train.

yes, alcohol was involved in that.

we've towed them behind cars with occupants... in the snow.

one night whilst working our way through a fifth of very very very cheap vodka, we decided it would be a fine idea to ride a shopping trolly down one of the many hills in the village I grew up in... don't recommend.

as I am sitting here, i am amazed I made it to 20, let alone 50.

Fun fact about me: When I was in second grade, I accidentally blew up an outlet at school.

Bust Out Another Thousand

Posted by Wowee Fun fact about me: When I was in second grade, I accidentally blew up an outlet at school.

you must expand on this one

Posted by Samurai you must expand on this one

When in elementary school, there was a box outside that my friend and I would always pick up tiny wire scraps from.
This day, I had the stupid idea to stick one of these wires into one of the outlets in the wall.
My friend used a pair of scissors to strip the insulation off the ends of the wire and I shorted out the outlet with the wire.
The surrounding area and my hands were covered in soot.
Thank goodness I am (slightly) smarter than I was back then.

Ok, last night i woke up and thought of a great idea for thread.

I couldn't find a pen, but it was so good that I figured I'd remember it for sure.

Nope, it's gone.
