Posts: 836 May 23, 2009 9:45 AM	Tags : None I read an editorial yesterday in the Wall Street Journal from a guy who is now an overprotective father to 4 girls. He was reflecting on his attitude toward safety now versus when he was growing up, and concluded that a lot of things could kill you and in some cases probably should have. In other words, just living through child/teen/young adult-hood is dangerous. He reflected upon a few of his exploits that involved illegal fireworks/bomb making, hanging with adult strangers, swinging from cables off cliffs, etc. I thought that Nafoom might offer some vintage exploits from their own checkered pasts.

Me and two others were in the back trying to get out when we noticed what could only be the light from a fire from somewhere on the Tahoe on the ground beside my head. We ended up busting the windows out and lighting cigs on the burning car as the cd player was still blaring triple six. Finally we got a ride and left it there. I dont know what the guy did about it. I have also been in an suv that hit the speed restrictor(100 mph) on a gravel road. I had a pretty bad 4-wheeler wreck that could have killed me. Hit a parked 4-wheeler while going full throttle on pavement. Woke up in an ambulance with a fucked up knee and road rash www.twitter.com/KFUCKINGP

Posts: 1953 May 25, 2009 7:58 PM Registered Member	Climbing a fire tower on the outside (didn't use steps), while drunk. Another night, same fire tower.....swinging off the top on a rope. Playing demolition derby at 50 MPH in farm trucks. Cutting a hole in a piece of tin, chaining it to a truck, using it as a sled and jumping terraces in a pasture. Yea, tin can cut you. Doing the same with a car hood in snow. Not quite as dangerous, but fun. Tying a ski rope to the back of dirt bikes and riding a skateboard down a highway behind said dirt bike. Hint: Skateboards don't stay straight when going 55 MPH. 'Walking a wheelie' at 140+. Jumping on a train while moving and riding it from the local beer joint to the hometown. Doing cannon balls off Tenn-Tom River bridge. (if you're not familiar, it's a long fall) Spending the night in a 10x10 feed shed with 50+ possum sized rats. Yea, not life threatening, but I wasn't so sure at the time. Doing a swan dive off a motorcycle doing 40-50 MPH on a gravel road. Driving across Old 8 in Grenada Lake when it was 4 feet or more deep. Ok this wasn't life threatening, but it did kill the truck. 50 mile High speed chase, at speeds up to 160+ MPH with 3 MHPs, 2 deputies, 1 city cop and 1 park ranger in a distant-hot pursuit. Totaling out at least a half dozen cars, beginning with the family car at age 12. Getting caught by the principal at school having the ole knob shined. This wouldn't have been a death risk, but the giver was his daughter. Give me time, I can probably think of more..... Last Edited By: Ole Miss Grad May 25, 2009 8:10 PM. Edited 2 times.

Posts: 567 May 26, 2009 8:02 AM Registered Member	moonlight booze cruise at highwater in June... The boat collectively has consumed lots of beer.. Around 11:30 at night our raft leaves the beach/bonfire, and does the rapids alone. We gut a rapid & all but one girl is left in the boat (all the paddles fall out as well).. I swim, in the pitch black, through the rest of this class 4 rapid, slammed a rock fairly hard, all my splash gear filled with about 80 extra pounds of water, and somehow make it to the bank and into an eddy. it took us about 45 minutes to find the other 3 that were in the raft. Should have died that night. -- ESPN Announcer: So Roy, where have you been for the last fifteen years? Roy: Well, I uh, well, ya see, I uh... Drinking. Lot a drinking. ESPN Announcer: I see. Well, are you still drinking? Roy: No. I uh... I put... uh... Why, you buying?

Posts: 740 May 26, 2009 8:37 AM Cunning Linguist	This one pops in mind first, although there are many. The summer before my Sr. year of high school, some friends and I went fishing in the Gulf. We got up at 5 am, and by 5:30 I had my first beer down. It was a beautiful day, so we decided to take his little 22 ft. Baycraft offshore. And we just kept going, until we were about 35 miles out. Had a storm come up, we were toast. We tie up to a rig and run into a mess of Spanish mackrel. At around noon, the fishins slowed down and I started really getting drunk. I eventually climb on the rig with a rod and reel to fish from there. Soon after I noticed a nice sized shark swimming around the rig. I only catch a hard head, which I quickly cut up and used as bait for the shark. That never worked, so I ended up putting my rod and reel down and fucking around on the rig. That's when I decided to start swinging on the swing rope used to get on and off the vessels. And being drunk, I kick my rod and reel into the Gulf. I'm watching it sink, with bloody hardhead attached, and decide I need to do something. So I swing off of the swingrope, land in the water drunk as shit 35 miles off shore with no life jacket next to a huge rig, and swim to my rod and reel. I grab it, throw it in the boat, and swim around, hoping that if that shark was still around it wasn't in the mood for eating. I managed to get in the boat without incident, and we later made it home ok. But without a doubt, from start to finish that trip had several instances of shit that could have killed me. But it was a great time.
