I started this thread because I think I have a lot to contribute.

Let's share with each other some insane things we have done in the past that sounded like a great idea but didn't quite turn out the way we anticipated.



My first contribution: I went to replace a burnt out light bulb, and rather than going all the way down to the garage to hit the breaker & get the ladder, I grabbed a bulb and pulled up the closest chair...a rocking chair. I stepped up, reached for the fixture, and when the chair rocked...my finger went straight into the socket.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

Well, the first thing that comes to my mind was greatly assisted by single malt scotch. Was with my brother in law enjoying a bottle of Glenlivet and for some reason we decided it would be really cool to get out some fireworks and play around.

He had a bottle rocket that he wanted to light but the only bottle we had was the scotch and well.......... can't use that one.

So........... I said, "hey, I'll just hold it and aim it, you light it." Sounded like a good plan to him so we gave it a go. The rocket shot into the air maybe four or five feet and then came right back down, hitting me on the foot. Of course, I wasn't wearing shoes, just sweatsocks and yep, the sparks started it on fire.

Meanwhile my BIL was looking in the air saying, "Where'd it go? Do you see it?" I'm laughing because I'm drunk as hell and my foot is on fire. So I said, "Here it is!"

BIL sees my foot on fire and starts laughing with me. Then says, "Hey put it out!"

So I poured the rest of my glass of scotch on it. Got a nice little flame from that one which we found even more hilarious than the fact that I was simply on fire.

The next morning I woke up on the couch with their greyhound licking my foot. Not sure if she was tasting me or trying to clean the wound. My BIL ended up staying at my place for about a week because my sister wouldn't talk to either of us.

Yep, probably should've just used an empty beer can to hold the bottle rocket.

Ah yes...explosives are such a great topic for this thread. I was riding shotgun in a VW bug, and we were throwing lit bottle rockets out the window. It was suggested that I try to throw it out in front of the car so we could try & catch up to it and watch it explode right in front of us. Great idea!

I lit it and threw it out the window. It went out in front and right into the open driver's side window landing between his legs. Knowing there was nothing he could do...he slammed his legs shut. I, of course, had no idea what the hell was happening until I heard him scream "OH SHIT" and it was followed by a muffled pop.


Good times! Parenthood is nothing like those days!

Hmmmm...right now something that seemed like a good idea at the time was me saying:

'Let's have a baby'

Testing times in the Pucker household right now - it's a developmental thing I think.

I used to fence with live blades. I once slit my boyfriend's (at the time) biceps open. It was pure Hell driving him to the Emergency room, and explaining to his mother what we were up to.
