1. Made whoopie by the sea on the coast of Maine

with no flashlight. The moon was bright when we started walking over the rocks. It was pitch black when we left.

It took a verrrrrrrry long time to get back to the car.

[progmom]

2. climbed way out on some ledges at the Grand Canyon

I seriously have no idea what we were thinking. One slip and we would have....ugh...I don't even want to think about it. It was incredibly stupid.

[purr]

3. Had sex on the turnpike while driving...

in a old 83 cj 7 jeep lol

[ZombieNixon]

4. Drove 90 MPH down a 55 MPH zone on a rural road with a river gorge on the

left at three in the morning the morning with a drunk friend in the passenger seat with no headlights on. This was in May, mind you, right after my HS graduation party!

[seemunkee]

5. Free solo climbing

Used to hit up a local crag after school and solo climbed all the time.

[Xithras]

6. Descended Half Dome after dark.

It's actually hard to pick one, because I've done a LOT of incredibly stupid things in my life (fun, but stupid).

Probably the most dangerous what coming down from the top of Half Dome in Yosemite after dark. Anyone who has been up there should be familiar with the last stretch of the hike...a 45 degree climb over bare, open granite with nothing but a steel cable to hold onto. One slip and you're dead.

My wife and I went up there to watch the sunset, have a little fun, and watch the stars come out. When it clouded up, we realized that we'd forgotten a flashlight!

We did the descent after dark in pitch blackness (no moon) without any lights whatsoever. It took us 45 minutes to make what's normally a 10 minute descent because we had to do it entirely by feel. To make it worse, the temp had dropped to 40 degrees and it was WINDY.

#2 would probably be the time I put my skis on and had a friend pull me down a snowy roadway in the Sierra's. He thought it would be FUNNY to try and shake me off :eyes:

7. went spelunking in my college's underground tunnel system

also once got naked and naughty on the shore of a well-trafficked lake in Maine...in broad daylight.

[nutsnberries]

8. i did everything already mentioned...

~had a few dangerous indiscretions i guess.

:blush:

[Dave Reynolds]

9. Drove 145 mph on I-496.

The steering wheel was making six-inch jumps in my hands, and the car felt like it was going to come apart.

[baldguy]

10. Drink a couple-three pitchers of beer, smoke a joint to clear my head

Then drive home at 4am - about 20 min @ 65-70 mph.

Luckily - no crashes/no injuries. Just a great deal of stupidity.

[DainBramaged]

11. Think about doing heroin for 30 seconds

Glad the acid kicked in. :hide:

No bs, in 1972. Then did mushrooms for 41 straight days. Psilocybin from Arizona I picked up on the way back from CA. While working and doing all the normal things we do. I remember that instant as clear today as if I am seeing an azure sky.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

12. unprotected sex

[buddysmellgood]

18. ditto

[Redneck Socialist]

13. The closest I've come to dying...

I've done variations of much of what has been already listed, but the closest I've come to cashing it in was when, while hiking solo, I tried to ford a river that was a raging torrent from several days of heavy rain.

Obviously I didn't drown, but I was swept downstream quite a ways. Fortunately I washed up on the shore I was trying to get to and completed my hike without incident.

Scary stuff. :scared:

[Kablooie]

14. I shot a gun from a grassy knoll.

[DS1]

15. The day I flew home, after my 4 yr stint in the Marines, I was

naturally incredibly hammered, but my Texan friend insisted that I learned about highway surfing before I left. I highway surfed down the H1 on the way to Honolulu airport. Talk about being > < that close to completing a tour ---- and not :eyes:

[OldLeftieLawyer]

16. I married a monkey

Well, a moron.

I was so young ........

[Rabrrrrrr]

17. I wore a clip-on tie a couple times in high school

Sadly, that's about the extent of it for me, except for all the crazy shit we did on the farm with three-wheelers, motorcycles, four-wheelers, guns, beer, cigars, and fireworks.

[puerco-bellies]

19. Explored an abandoned mine in New Mexico

Just to get to the deeper levels you had to cross a void (the mine floor had long collapsed) via a single ore-cart rail for about 25' till you reached solid ground. The void was so deep flashlights would not penetrate to the bottom.

[mitchum]

20. Hitchhiked and shot drugs

[CatBoreal]

21. Jumped off a railroad bridge...

...50 feet into the Severn River (very busy part of the Trent/Severn Waterway).

Not my brightest moment.

[northzax]

22. I once entered

GD without my asbestos gloves on.

[flvegan]

23. Trespassing, breaking and entering and theft.

But 150 chickens left to starve to death live to this day because of it.

Bulldozers? Shotguns? Hah! I laugh at you.

[EstimatedProphet]

24. Drove home after 25 shots of Jagermeister

Absolutely fucking stupid.

[Ptah]

25. Stood up beside a buddy that was threatining to kill

another guy.

The other guy died.

[Tafiti]

26. I have a couple.

Jumped off a bridge on the river at night - pitch black, couldn't see the water below. Actually climbing up the bridge was dangerous enough. I was 16.

Drove 115 mph on the interstate, for no good reason other than I was trying to catch up to someone. I was 19.

I'm sure there are others, but those two are the first to come to mind.
