Welp, I'm afraid of heights, or else this'd be nothing I guess.
Last week, I had just got done blasting a guy for his attendance and I was out in the warehouse....and I did something extremely dumb. The sort of thing I'd fire me for if I saw me do that. I wanted to take a better look at a pallet of product that was in the top level of our racks, so I stepped onto one of the forks of the lift this guy was driving and told him to pick me up. About time I got to the 8th level (the 9th and highest is 34 feet off the floor) it dawned on me that
A) I was close to 30 feet above the concrete standing on a 4 inch wide piece of metal,
B) if I survived a fall to that concrete, it was still -15 degrees in there, and
C) Joe might like it better if I did fall (he's nicknamed Crazy Joe for a reason).
So, knees knocking, I got the info I needed and had him put me back down. I got a good rush out of it, but I think I prefer to get my rushes from other people's dumb actions. I spent an hour mentally slapping myself.

When was the last time you did something really daring?Follow
I guess having just moved into an apartment with my girlfriend of 11 months was rather daring. Last time I moved in with a girlfriend, we weren't together anymore by the time we moved in.

Congratulations Flea in going into business for yourself! How much traveling are you planning to do? And glad you and DSD had fun irl for a change. *high five*
Thanks for the well-wishes.
I'll travel as much as I need to, I suppose. For now I'm single no kids, so I don't really have any obligations to consider. We'll see.A friend hit 255 KM/H (about 160 M/H) down some road at about 3am. Was absolutly INSANE! (I was in the passenger seat)

I used to be quite the adrenaline junkie too. I think one of the craziest things I ever did was randomly rolling my window down and climbing out onto the roof of my friend's car when going about 100 MPH. I was laying on top of the car and holding on with one hand on the drivers door and one hand on the passengers door. Whenever I let go for a second I would start to raise off of the car a little bit, that was a huge rush.
Another thing that lead to a lot of pretty big rushes was a sport that me and a friend made up when we were in our teens to early twenties called kamakaziing (sp?). We would hike up to the tops of hills in the woods or wherever and basically just run as fast as we could to the bottom. The only rules was that you had to go first if you hadn't done it yet (this was pre fight club), and that trails were off limits. I fell off of small cliffs (10-20 feet) a couple times with no injuries, I landed in a mud pit off of one of them. I almost fell off of a few bigger cliffs. It was pretty fun, I still do that sometimes.
The most exciting things I do nowadays is cliff jump into water, skateboard, and go river rafting... I have settled down quite a bit.

I used to do that...high school cross-country. Watching kids dive face-first down gravel-covered ski slopes is awesome.

Remember keep your reciepts... for everything, and write down any milage you do for work, it adds up. Also if you work from home find a corner, put a desk in it, call it your office and write off part of your rent/ morgage and utilities.

Hey Git, any program that you found that works? I'm thinking about maybe an ING account for the money I set aside for taxes, but I'm wondering if a Turbotax/Quicken combo wouldn't be the way to go to keep myself organized. Any ideas?
Had a party once, my parents were out of town and I threw a huge *** party. About 30 people showed up at my house and we got drunk and acted stupid, I passed out around 1 a.m.and woke up the next morning and found 2 huge *** holes in my wall, abunch of kids asleep in my living room I did'nt know and I was hungover like a walrus.
Lucky I fixed the holes, fixed the house and recovered from my first hangover, parents still don't know to this day.

I originally read that as "two huge holes in my ***" and felt very bad for you.
Two holes in the wall is not as bad, though.
How drunk does a walrus get?
Drunk enough to vomit on Drew Barrymore?
Hell, I wouldn't have to be drunk to vomit on her. I would have to be, to do anything else though.

Agreed
When I was in Middle School, I got a new baseball mit and wanted to break it in, and throwing a ball into my mitt repeatedly was no fun, so I found a rock, and had my friend Shane throw it at me, thinking I'd catch it. Well, when it hit me right above the eye, I felt a sharp pain, and then felt something running down my face. Didn't cry once, and I'm guessing the shock was why it didn't really hurt.
That's probably more stupid than daring...I've asked 13 girls out when I was in HS. They all "just wanted to be friends"...It's really daring to try again lol...

Blasphemy! She's always been cute damn you! So was Samantha from 'Who's the Boss' (yes I know her real name, but I'm making a point here); and the beautiful Brooke Shields
You were probably just too young to appreciate it back then. Quote:

Were they living in the crawl space, or what?
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
I used to have two huge as[/i]sholes in my wall but I got the police to evict them.
That was the mental picture I got from the phrase anyway
Every time I see the thread title here, I read it as "When was the last time you did something really darling?" and expect to see responses about hugging ducklings and dressing up kittens in baby clothes. But it never is
Edit: I see Samira made my joke for me. Welcome to 15min ago, Joph

So make it Joph. When was the last time you dressed up a kitten in doll clothes? or played with cutsie ducklings or rabbits?
Chasing them down with a mower and calling it tag doesnt count btw

Most daring thing I ever did was putting fake money in the bank machine then cashing it out. Hey! I needed that cash!
Cops showed up at my house the next day.
I dressed my son up in a tuxedo and made him play ring bearer.
OMG SO KWUTE!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 d(^_^)b

And they scolded you and said don't do it again right? Yeah. No fraud charges. Ok.
It's several years old, but if you never read the story of the guy who deposited a $95k junk mail check, it's a good read.

I'm trying to decide if our first baby is the most daring thing I've done or if it's the home loan we just got approved for.
Possibly having a baby and buying a house within 2 months of each other is a good combination. What kills me about this whole process is that I can understand HTML, VBCode, C+, etc but all of this loan jargon is just greek to me

That's all I've got to say about that.
One time while having sex with my wife, I called her by her sisters' name.
Was a wild ride.

Is that similiar to the "Bucking Bronco", where you ride her from the back, hang on tight, and then whisper in her ear you have an STD?
