I figured as part of getting to know each other we could post the craziest thing we ever did. I am willing to go first because I am self centered like that.  For me it is a toss up between barfing on James Doohan (Scotty from ST:TOS) and greeting Jehovah's Witnesses naked. Yes, alcohol was involved in both incidents. |

I'm pretty boring. I'm a student announcer at my high school's football games in which I am the speaker on behalf of our school's marching band that performs during halftime. I accidentally left the mic on after my announcement and a large group of people got to listen to me talking about my musical preferences over the stadium speakers. That was pretty embarrassing.
I'm sure I have some other repressed memory, but I haven't really done anything 'crazy' in my lifetime. I've never been much of a risk-taker. I'm interested to hear everyone else's stories, though. Good thread!

You may not believe it, but I once made a post or 2 on a game forum, while at a wedding reception, and under the influence... Crazy! ...seriously though, my most adventuresome moment, was leaving the uk in my mid 20s, and coming here to live in NYC... Had some crazy times there  |

About 10 years ago I was jet-skiing in St. Marteen with a few buddies. I was about a 2 miles from shore and whipped a turn which caused me to go flying off the jetski. No problem, except as I swam back to the jetski I felt something brush by me. I froze and saw a large shadow in the water coming at me. I guess the steel watch and ring weren't helping the matter but I proceeded to take a swing and got my left hand right in the sharks mouth. Thank god it wasnt a big one but as you can see he ripped through 3 tendons down to the bone like it was a piece of paper. Three months later I got full motion back and go to the beach all the time. I figure the odds are with me now not to get bit again Answer to craziest thing I ever did: Get into a fist fight with a shark Attachments:

This should be your theme music. Also, thanks for giving me an opportunity to make a reasonable Aquabats plug on these forums. My music-geekiness is showing. |

Haven't done much that is crazy. I do think one of the coolest things I ever did was take a cross-country motorcycle trip from dallas tx, to Halifax, Nova Scotia. Even stopped off in Portland, Maine to say hi to Matt who I got to know playing GW1.

Nothing really comes to mind except this one time, I tried to divide by zero.

Craziest thing I ever did. Well there are many of them that are close but I'd have to vote 19 mile high HALO (High Altitude Low Opening) jump above a desert being tops of that list.

Hm...I'm in the "not a huge risk-taker" camp. I did distract Bill Clinton during a press conference once, but that wasn't really due to anything I did.
My family had been asked to represent a particular medical advocacy group we were active in at a press conference about a medical bill that Clinton was signing, and my siblings and I were the only kids there. We were all very well-behaved, no horsing around or chattering during speeches or anything, but Clinton still kept looking over at us every few minutes all "what the heck are these kids doing at a press conference?" Wish I could find footage of it, but it was a pretty obscure bill that didn't get a lot of news attention.
Oh, I do have an experimental auditory implant. I guess getting that counts as a little bit crazy, maybe.
