Childhood Dares

[jpowers]

For some reason, I've been remembering childhood fondly lately. I'm certain I'm in error, but for the time being I'll let it ride. What crazy stunt(s) did you do on a dare as a child? Or maybe just for fun?

are you at the beginning of a mid life thing????

Some of your options are a riot...FROG BASEBALL?????

I was never dared to kiss someone, but somehow managed to do it a lot as a little kid.

My favorite thing that I did was once me and Jeff Olson were in Bible School at our little country church. Our class was in the one room school house. Some of the older kids in the back were chewing tobacco so jeff and I decide that we are gonna too. we spend about 15 minutes spittin' out the window(getting it all over the side of the building) then we both have to go outside because we are getting sick. The teacher took no pity on us and made us wash the side of the building.

Then there was the time my brother sister and I shared a beer before walking to bible school. That went over like a fart in church.

Eating bugs, no big deal, but I did once on a dare from my friends Jason Virgilio and Jimmy Hanger that I jumped two old cars on Hanger's Honda 70cc dirt bike. Made over the first one, crashed and burned on the second. But my next-door neighbor, Bonnie Edwards saw what happened, came running over and cradled my 11-year-old head between her, er, well-endowed 16-year-old chest.
It was at that moment, I knew there was a God.
Still got the scar on my right leg, too.

Ain't it nice when those teen girls give the young man an education!!!!!

I was a sweet little angel and never did dares

 

[gr8ful wes]

was this before or after the medication?

Got dared to eat a grasshopper, jump off our treehouse and we attacked some teenage jerks with BB guns (we were armed with sticks).

Frog Baseball????

Okay, I have done a lot of crazy dares in my childhood. I won't list a few of them because I don't think it'd be too appropriate

When I was 6 I learned all my first cuss words (I grew up in Kansas City, so my neighbor who was about 4 years older than me was teaching me). My neighbor and I were good friends, but then there was this other kid who lived a few blocks down the street, when he came along, we were more mischievous than usual...

So anyhow, they took my right hand, and closed my fist, but had me keep one finger up. Then they said "Okay, now keep your hand like that and go show your mom." I, being only 6 mind you, nodded and went into the house and then held up my hand and said "Mom..." SMACK

Before I could ask what it meant my mom started yelling at me and slapped my hand. Don't get me wrong - my mom is a sweet and loving lady, she just hated the middle finger thing

Okay, well that isn't necesarily a crazy dare, but it was funny.

Probably the craziest dare I ever took was to get naked and run to a house a few blocks down the street and knock on the door and ask if one of our friends could come out to play. His mom answered the door and laughed so hard (I was still 6).

I'm sorry, but "Hack into a computer network" ????? When I was a kid we grew up without the internet - although we had a really old computer internet access was still about 6 years away from the common person. Man... it just makes me think of how simple my childhood was compared to the kids today.

 

[Unregister]

Lets see.... one that sticks out is getting dared to see who could leave their hand on a statue the longest. However it was around 95 degrees Farenheit outide so layers of skin would literally melt off my hand. The person who one had to have his hand rapped up in a towel and then be in pain for the ride back to school (it was on a field trip). Glad to say it wasn't me but i did receive quite a good burn.

Cross roads that had care whizzing by. Kids always do things parent dont let them.

Poor Billie never made it.... j/k~

Oh and also we played chase the car game. That got me into an accident once.

Other: Leftover firecrackers from 4th of July contributed greatly to reducing the insect population in our back yard.
We even shot bottlerockets toward eachother when we were feeling particularly bored/dangerous.

Other: I once cross-dressed for Halloween. Ok, it wasn't a dare; I didn't have a better costume.

I dare jpowers to post something positive about right-wingers.

 

[Ohwell]

Shoplifting and hacking into a network, if there were hackable networks back then, were my kinda thing. I'm the criminal type.

 

[G-Man]

I always liked jumping from places. It's even more fun now that I have a guitar (although I don't dare to jump with it from a roof, only from tables and stuff like that).

I also hacked into the school network, which would've been great if they had something on it....

Oh yeah and I had a few fights with a guy my class that looks (not to mention smells) like a monkey so I included the giant moneky option. Luckly he looks like that because he has a weird body, not because he's strong.

OK, here goes. Not all of them eat babies.

I once jumped of a roof, landed wrong and all the air was smacked outta my lungs, I didn't jump after that

We once put about 20 thumbtacks on a teacher's chair and he was so fat he didn't even feel those things go in when he sat down

Don't you feel better now?

I think jpowers just had a heart attack. I'm hungry. Anyone want to go to the nursery?

Seriously, I wasn't an angel (I'm still not but I was a jerk), but I did none of that.

I didn't hack into the network, I screwed up the settings on my dad's 486, once I crashed the thing. Now I work with my dad to help protect his networ from hackers, Oh how times have changed

I can still remember the saying from "A Christmast Story"
