Title: What's the stupidest thing you've ever done?
Post by: 01010 on July 19, 2003, 05:36:57 am: Cause I beat my own record yesterday and I don't know whether to be proud or sad.

(http://www.s-y-c.co.uk/pictures/sos%20bott%20lock%20basin%2099%20pj.jpg)

After a brief (6 shots of vodka (I think) and 8 shots of Aftershock) session in the pub, my friend decided that he might quite like to jump in a scummy old canal basin. I advised against this, telling him that Typhoid would very likely be the worst of his worries.

However, when we reached the point on this picture, I kinda figured that the water was cleaner and he wasn't going to be stopped so off he went.

Bearing in mind this was about midnight and it wasn't too warm either, I decided that I wanted to play. I stripped off completely and took the plunge. I have never been in water so deep. The picture is taken from a bridge that overlooks the exit to a canal lock so I thought it might be deep enough to jump in from, however I never really knew how deep it was until I hit the bottom and then took four seconds at least to return to the surface.

The best thing about the whole situation however, is that I managed to not lose my pants.

Shots being what? Small tiny glasses? Cause then 8 isn't too much for Aftershock (40%) At least its not enough to get me hammered and jump into a lake.... Though its still quite nasty blue stuff...

It was possibly four or five double shots and I really can't remember, the important thing is that I was drunk and it was cheap :)

Post by: an0n on July 19, 2003, 06:40:21 am: Aftershock? So you're either a 12 year old or a woman.

Get some real damn alcohol!

On average it takes an empty stomach, no sleep, a night of moderate drinking then about a dozen shots of Jack Daniels to get me drunk. Although I'm not entirely sure. I was kinda stood by the bottle and everyone was like "Yeah, let's do shot!" so there were about 5 of use doing shots. I did 3 (easy) while they each did one (and all gagged/winced/collapsed). Then a few other people poured some tumblers of like 1/2 JD and 1/2 Coke and I was stood there doing more shots and all the pussies were like "Urgh! That's too strong. Here Tony, you can have this." Best I can remember it was about 8 shots and 3 50/50 tumblers as well as about 4 hours or lager and Baileys (which is ****ing gorgeous BTW. Like rich chocolate milk with vodka in).

Aftershock was a fiver for 4 shots, I can't disagree with something that has the same alcohol content as a shot of whiskey being that cheap. Alcohol is alcohol. Baileys is more of a womans drink anyway as well as being sickly. Absinthe is the main offender in my drinking endeavours but they didn't have any in the local tesco.

It shows superior metabolising abilites and thus good health and genetics.

Post by: diamondgeezer on July 19, 2003, 07:49:28 am: JD is the good stuff, I can happily drink that all night. But then for some reason, beer puts me under the table almost immediately. Must be something in the bubbles.
Title: What's the stupidest thing you've ever done?
Post by: an0n on July 19, 2003, 08:03:37 am: Beer and Lager make me light-headed and sick, and spirits make me drunk.

Oh and in response to the title of the thread:
Used a nail-gun to shoot a nail through my hand in the middle of a pub because of a dare, prompted by the owner of the gun disagreed with my opinion that his nail-gun was a "steaming piece of mechanised **** used by pussies and rent-boys to fire fake cocks into young boys bums".

I got my drinks bought for me for the rest of the night. Which was probably a bad thing considering the loss of blood.

Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on July 19, 2003, 12:16:37 pm: Perhaps the stupidest thing I ever did was to tag along with a couple of mates on an a protest on the first day of the war (anything to get out of the English lesson - LotF, anyway), where we proceeed to nearly get ripped to shreds by a huge crowd of Asian youth, who seemed to be under the impression that we were neo-Nazis.:rolleyes:

Hmmm...Get introduced to Lego (So f***ing expensive, but it's fun!) and finding these 2 sites:

Lego Mechwarrior: http://home.comcast.net/~legomech/index.htm

*and*

BrickCommander: http://www.brickcommander.com

I can't stop building BattleMechs! I've built 5 so far, and I'm planning to build 2 more and a hover tank...

...Either that or speeding into a piece of farm machinery on my first bike (on the first day I got it :p ) and slicing my chin open...

Meh...you choose...I'm gonna go play some TFC...

Stupid? That's grand! I wish my local toy shop sold real Lego so I could do that - all they have is stuff from Star Wars, Harry Potter, or that Bionicle stuff that only fits together in one way without looking stupid. A total bummer. :(

Ask Thorn about the time in Tijuanna and the Saigon whores (they were imported, believe it or not) though. He's almost completely blacked it out of his memory. Poor boy, after what happened to him he refuses to go back to Mexico.

[color=66ff00]You don't admin, you just skulk and make witty remarks. ;)

I've done many, many stupid things (and have great potential still! ;) ), one of the best ones that I can remember is opening a can of enamel whilst lying on my back (don't ask), lets just say that my chest had a coloured patch on it for a week.[/color]

I made a new pilot, I hope I won't do that stupid thing once again.:(

actually, you're more in the risk of your liver throwing in the towel if you're not so easily aroused by alcohol, since you'd have to take more of it to get that effect.
