Strangest thing you've done.

[cgannon64]

When I go through all the strange days in my memory, none of them are filled with strange deeds. I suppose it's a testament to my ability to keep my head amid all the strangeness.

Perhaps if we went through strange things I have witnessed? Then my strange days are more relatable. (Then I can talk about the guy fighting the cop on the subway, and the mean teenager picking on the gay McDonald's worker, and running into an old enemy at that same McDonald's, all while feeling the terrifying impulse that I had to get out of that McDonald's immediately, and recounting all this on my friend's stoop while his hand was holding the intercom and his mother was listening, and then her voice floating from nowhere, "Be careful what you say, boys...")

I went through a period when I was around 5 yrs. old where I went nuts if anyone stepped on an ant.

 

[cgannon64]

I think all reasonable people should still do that if someone kills an ant capriciously.

So it wasn't that strange of me to do that?

I suppose it depends on how 'nuts' you went...

i had a russian friend named dennis when i was a kid

he and i built this fort/bunker type thing in the woods, and let me tell you, it was no rickety crap thing, 2 sides of it were solid rock and the rest was real solid too

we isolated it with plastic sheets, and then camouflaged it really good, if you didnt know where it was, you could be sitting on top of it and not know

after it was done, dennis went alittle nuts
there was a lot of joggers running through where we had the fort so he started digging holes with sharp sticks in them viet cong style, he was putting up thin wires in head height etc

that wasnt something weird i did, but its pretty weird
i have no idea how many joggers he killed..

That is classic, especially that last line .

The only thing I can think of is during the middle of hunting season on my parents land, my uncle came over with a Reising SMG, .30 cal, and a BAR. The four of us spent the next 4 hours firing them off into the woods, needless to say it is illegal to hunt with any of these weapons. The funniest part is my neighbors are pastors of a local church, and they ended up calling the sheriff's department and DNR to our house, but since all the weapons were licensed, the cops made the trip for absolutely nothing! They can't do a thing as long as my uncle is present while we fire them.

Afterwards we all had to take shovels to clean up all the empties.

In the middle of winter at about 10:30 pm at my friends party, we decided to go outside and play rugby with a giant ball. It was muddy...

I once go thorough a period when I was 8 years old trying hard not to swallow my saliva and end up puke all over the place.

I think this fall's in the stupid strange category but...
So my friend Dave and my ex-wife Cruela DeVille could talk for hours on end about nothing. One night he was over and l was starting to get bored with their droning on about nothing. So I decided to take the cat's "suction cup knock around" toy and stick it to my forehead. Finally it fell off. They started laughing hysterically....the red mark on my forehead lastest 3 days. I had a client meeting the next day and had to explain how I got it. Moral of the story....go watch tv when in this situation.

Well, the day before classes began @ Clemson University my freshman year (1994 & yes I'm finished now) I scouted out my class assignments so on the first day I wouldn't look like a freshman. The next day I carried my schedule & room assignments for the first 3 classes. I then had one more class @ 1:25. So I ate lunch went back to my dorm room switched out my books. I pulled my schedule out and left it on my desk figuring that I knew where I was going.....

I walked up to the building that it was in. I knew that the class was on the 3rd floor. I couldn't remember the room though. So I reasoned to myself, "How many freshman English classes could there be on the 3rd floor of this building." So I found a teacher's schedule that was posted on a bulletin board, and she was teaching freshman English on the 3rd floor of this building. So I sat down. She called role, which my name was not a part of, so I left looking for my real class.

I started wondering down the hall peaking in rooms asking if my name was on the role. I passed this one room with the door open. A woman was walking up and down the aisles speaking Spanish. I had never heard such a sound growing up in rural South Carolina. I was mesmerized. I couldn't move. The lady noticed me staring at her. She then politely asked (in English), "Can I help you?" To which I responded, "Is this English 101?" The entire class busted out laughing.

I eventually found my class, graduated Magna Cum Laude in Electrical Engineering and moved two states away.

That is soooo freshman like Tubby. Well I went to school at University of Arizona in 1980(old fart) so I was over all those antics by the time you got to school. I might add I graduated without honors and moved home about 7 states away. OK now you got me tinkin'....
My freshman year consisted of practical joke wars being played between my new found friends.
1. War begins. Johnny decides to play the ping pong trick on me. I think some of you may know Johnny from one of my previous posts. Well the trick is to bounce the ping pong off your head into a cup. Problem is the 3rd ping pong is really an egg.
2. Retalitation time. Johnny and Scottie come home with some hotties after a night of some drinking. The girls go to the bathroom and come out screaming that everything itches. My buddy Kenny (we had a MPP) put itching powder on the toilet seat.
3. Revenge. Johnny while looking for dog food at the pet store sees that crickets are a penny a piece. He buys $10 worth. He thinks it would be funny to put a few crickets in Kenny's apartment. While taking a few out of the egg carton some started crawling up Johnny's arm........the whole carton was dumped on the rug....1000 crickets started hopping in 15 gazillion different directions. Turns out Kenny had to take incompletes in all of his courses that semester because of the noise. Not even the exterminator could get rid of them. Kenny got a new apartment the next semester.

So freshmanish.

Yeah, the best stuff comes from freshman, sophomore, & junior years. By the time I was in my 4th year, I felt grown up . I remember being at a party when the fun died. I looked at the sophomores bouncing off of each other and I turned to a friend and said, "You know, I remember when that was fun." It was a sad day in Tubbyville.

Quite strange that I have such a low shame and embarassment threshold.
