Your worst idea...Fess up!

[Goldfish]

When i was probably 8 or so, the cord broke on the light down in the basement, so I climbed up the metal pipe on the water heater to pull the 3 inches on metal ball chain thing. Apparently, the cord wouldn't pull because something inside the socket broke, sending the power thru the chain, thru my arm, across my body, down my leg, and out my knee. I was shocked for I don't know how long, but it felt like a couple seconds of where I couldn't do anything other than my whole body vibrating from the juice going thru me. I ended up letting go (the light was still on so it's not like the circuit popped) and I cried like a banshee cuz it scared the shit out of me.

I hate being electrocuted. Seems like I have the worst luck when it comes to that stuff. I also got hit with a tazer at a party one time. This jackass that I'm no longer associated with anymore though it would be funny to jab it square in my back.

Never had a bad idea

[NuffDaddy]

Was about 7-8 and decided if I put a couple pair of those inflatable arm things to learn to swim on my feet and legs I could walk on water. I jumped in and flipped right upside down. Not exactly what I had envisioned. Luckily my neighbor saw it happen and saved my dumb ass.

Wow Rozzo, I seriously did that same thing at a neighbors pool. Threw my arm booties into the pool and jumped in after them. Mom came just in time. Holy crap that's weird.

Crazy, and I spent the last 32yrs thinking I was the only one that dumb.

Oh, such a long list!
Let's start with the electric worm digger! We took two pieces of steel rod and tied the end of an extension cord to each one. Then we watered down the lawn overnight to bring the nightcrawlers to the surface. The next day we took the steel rods and shoved them in the ground about 3 feet apart. Then we plugged that bitch in! Worked great, the worms came up and were crawling everywhere! DO NOT STEP BETWEEN THE STEEL RODS!!!!!!!!!

OMG I've had some doozies when it comes to stupid ideas.
Every once in a while one works which is scary.

You have to make mistakes to learn and I'm effin' brilliant. Think about it a minute. I'm lucky to have all my fingers and toes. Seriously.

Ok here's the dumbest thing I EVER did. I was hunting at Lake Shelbyville on the big water. The banks were steep and the water was deep but the ducks were there. I was excited. Tossed out my decoys and tried to hide/park the boat real quick.
Remember, the banks are steep. So I rammed the boat on shore. It slipped back. So I rammed it up again harder and it slipped back so the third time I overdid it. The back of the boat sunk. (doh) My toolbox floated off, then sunk in DEEP water. Had to catch the gas can and some other stuff too. The boat sunk and was sliding down further. I had to act quick so I got the rope and tied it to the tree. What tree? There was ONE right there where I needed one to be thank God!

Then it got intense. I'm trying to figure out how to get home now. Screw hunting. I sat there a minute and thought. Hey, I can pull on the rope like a bowstring and gain about 6 inches of ground. The boat is heavy with water. I'd do that, run to tighten the rope, lose 5 inches but gain one...repeat.

INCH BY INCH Finally I got to where I could bail. (with the cup off my thermos) That sucked.
Well it took me quite some time but I got my boat floating and drove it back to the marina and got home. WHAT AN ADVENTURE!

This whole event took place near the Marina at Lithia Springs for you that know the lake. There are like a hundred little coves. Coves in coves etc. Would suck to be lost there.

[NuffDaddy]

That sucks AB. At least you had a rope handy real quick.

I did something similar to what mose did but i was standing in water with wet tennis shoes and it was raining. I was lucky, it was pulsing. I guess I fell when it let go of me and I could hear the echo of my scream as i came to.

When I was a teen, thought I'd grab a knife out of a guys hand. I grabbed the blade. It was a mess.

Oh, almost forgot, built a duck blind with poison oak one new years day.

That was either a weak ass duck blind or some super poison ivy.

There's pictures somewhere here. That poison oak tried to kick my ass.

I was always thought I wasn't allergic to any of that because I used to walk through poison ivy all the time and never got it. A buddy bet me that I wouldn't roll around in a patch of poison oak one time so I took it. The next 2 weeks sucked.

Hitting golf balls at the Buddhist monastery behind base, and thinking nobody would know. We were aiming for the huge bronze bell that they hit with a log on a rope. It was about 200 yards away. Golf balls were raining bruises and pain into the monastery courtyard at a frenzied pace, as I think there was a bet involving lots of (more) free booze for the one who hit it first. There were 6 of us out on the hill, the only point high enough to drive over the wall surrounding the base. 6 very drunk guys, hitting drives as fast as we could, on a Saturday afternoon. Luckily I wasn't the highest ranking one involved. But I was when the punishments were finished being handed out.

Who knew monasteries had phones? And the base MP phone number?

My worst idea was joining Internet duck hunting forums. I accomplish much less with my day now!

The guy I was building the blind with laughed at me and said he wasn't worried because he couldn't get the stuff. A week after I already had it, he called and asked what to do about it.

I have a similar story that involves trying to get stolen bowling balls from the base lanes down a hill and into a dumpster about 75 yards away. Luckly we stopped and ran when one of the guys put a perfectly shaped dent into the side of a parked car. The crazy shit that goes on at the "E" club.

Never a bad idea, lots of bad execution though.

Never got in trouble for it but dropping lit black cats out the window doing 75 down I-35. Even though it was broad daylight you could see the glow from the fuse and they would bounce down the road behind us until they blew.

Worst idea for me was going to college. I wish I had gone to trade school instead.

When I would say that on DHC Spinner would have a heart attack and start his menstrual cycle.

At first I thought you were talking about real cats and thought, "How is that a bad idea?"

Nothing worse than a mad black pussy bouncing down the highway.

While I wasn't there for this one, couple guys I knew were rolling bowling balls down the ski jump during the summer at the local hill. Never said if it did anything, but seems like a fun idea.

Me too, I was waiting to hear how the fuse came in!
