Does getting hit full-on by a speeding taxi, spinning up in the air and going unconscious for a few seconds and then standing up with not so much as a scratch count?

More than giving pieces of beef heart to an feathered velociraptor.

Driving in Fayetteville.
Dark.
1987 Nissan Sentra SE.
Rabbit runs out.
I swerve. (Poor wabbit.)
I lost control of the car, ran off the road (Closer inspection of the tire tracks reveled I was a mere 6 inches from running off the road into a 60 or so foot deep ravine) Hit a hump which was a small trail for leading Cattle into a pasture and finally came to rest after hitting a fencepost. The fencepost stopped my car from slamming into a tree. (I couldn't even stick a finger between the bumper and a tree.)
I got out of the car. (Which was still running) and checked for damage.
Damage tally:
Me: Broken finger and a small cut on my head from a tree branch which reached in the window and scratched me.
Car: Camber out approximately 3 inches. (37.99 alignment.) scratch on the driver side. (3.99 can of Mother's Car wax) Exhaust downpipe partially pulled away from exhaust manifold (Pulled downpipe, replaced with one from the shityard. 3 bucks.)
New outlook on roadkill: 5 dead rabbits, several birds impacted randomly while driving cross country, including a cardinal wedged in the grill of my 1989 Mitubishi Galant, and 1 roadrunner to date. Everything on the road dies. Except dogs and cats.

Uhm...worked on research for NASA?

By this time next year, I should be able to say that I've flown on the Vomit Comet.

Made a quoteable joke to our highschool's best comedian (who is russian) That he will never forget and is his top quote.
"Savva, You live like a king of a VERY poor country."
God you should see his car. It is literaly is held together by Duct tape and Rope and he has all of this neat stuff in his car.

It's obvious I have not lived enough. I might have done a few other cool things but I don't remember.

I went over a 20-25 ft waterfall, in a kayak, backwards. I didn't mean to go backwards, but the bow of my boat hit on a rock and spun me around right before the drop, so I had to just go with it. I just put my paddle in front of me, leaned up river, and perfection. Of course, none of the people watching knew it was an accident, people were snapping pictures, and cheering.

All so, I got to do a run in during an independent wrestling show, and when I played football in school, I hospitalized 53 QBs over the years. [Homer]MMmmm...Quarter back...[/Homer}

All through a Canadian winter (3 years ago) I took the trash out in just my shorts, regardless of weather conditions.

The walk from the backdoor to the trash bin, down to the curb and back to the door is about a total of 120 feet, and we averages (my parents and I) 4 bags of garbage a week.

Yes, barefoot, regardless of snow, wind, drift, ice, etc. Never got sick, never got hurt. I drank a lot of hot chocolate that winter however for some unknown reason

Helped my dad take down our garden shed. Once the sheets of playwood were off, and took a sledge hammer to the 2x4's to knock it over. I broke a few, then succeeded on pushing it over. It was about 120 - 130% the size of a van.

Let my girlfriend hit me with a baseball bat across the ass (I deserved it)
No, not sexually. I said something stupid and really upset her. She felt better after she hit me. (only time she's ever hit me) She felt guilty the next day.

Stupid Teenager stunts:
Donuts in a Camera in a farmers field. (Friends fathers car)

Flying kick to a Wasp nest. Turns out the wasps were still in there.
Shortly thereafter, I successfully out-ran a most of a swarm of angry wasps. No idea where they came from

Highway 'ski-ing' behind a car down the road on old frying pans (inspired by the simpsons)

Make just about everything from the Jolly Rogers handbook

Wrestled with my uncles boveriars (large dogs) 2 on 1 match

Taught my Rottweiler how to put me in a hammerlock

Rode a dirt bike in just shorts and a tank top, wiped out on it, burnt my leg (it was on the engine for about 5 - 6 seconds), went swimming in a freshly chlorinated pool, broke the blisters, then rode home.

Locker-Headbutting Contest at school. I came in second. My best friend won when he was still standing after the 10th headbutt, and I collapsed onto my knees. At least I beat out 6 other people

Someone tried to shove me at school after pushing my sister. I moved and shoved and sent him down the stairs. The teacher that saw it 'thought he tripped'.

Let my sister toss me over a campfire and next to a log to prove to our male friends she can take care of herself. Unfortunately she miscalculated and tossed me into the log. Fortunately, it was semi-hallow and shattered.

Wrestling match with a brown belt in Akido.
(I lost)

In my Grade 13 Chemistry class, my 'mid-term' research report was on 'Home Explosives: Potiental accidents in the home?'. My teacher was actually impressed I found all that information. Incidently my explosive was: The odds of accidentatly blowing yourself out by mixing random house hold products is slim to nil.

My friends and I were walking along a road between a Camp known for parties and a recently (3 years or so) built subdivision. We were all armed, I have a 7 inch knife on me in my sweat-shirt pocket. A cop pulled up. I managed to convince him we were just walking two of the girls in the group home from a school hallowe'en dance. I also managed to keep a straight face.

In order to convince some people yelling at us for running around with guns in the dark (they were not guns, they were air guns, and we had been target shooting and hadn't gone home yet), I took the one I had on me (never been loaded), put it up to my head at my temple and pulled the trigger.
End of Stupid Teenager stuff

Most notable thing I can recall at the moment is when my father, brother, and I took out our homemade rocket launcher (plexiglass blast shield, battery powered, two seperate safeties linked to two small christmas lights set behind the blast shield, and firing model rocket engines with glued on plastic fins and a film canister 'warhead'). Took the sucker out, broke open a few chemlights into the warheads and painted a few glowing green trails over the sky of my neighborhood.

Flew in a simulator for the JTF (Joint Tactical Flighter) and successfully landed on a carrier (albeit immobile one in an ideal atmosphere). I thought that was kinda cool.

Well, I've written "If The Simpsons Was Set In The Star Wars Universe..." and "If The Simpsons Was Cthulhu Mythos".

The only thing similar I've seen is the [quote=http://www.snpp.com/guides/borg.html]Simpsons Of Borg[/quote] page which happened to be my inspiration.

BTW - I'm working on a new version of "If The Simpsons Was Set In The SW Universe". Complete with mention of Telewookies, Kashyyyk's equivalent of Teletubbies!

I don't 'rocket' up the mountain.

I only go 10miles over the speed limit and straighten the curves.

I've also taken the Neon muddin'.

There may be hundreds of thousands of teenage guys out there without a job or hope of getting laid, but what makes me unique is that I was visiting this site, and made a post about something unique I did at exactly 7:23 PM, October 1st, 2003.

Post by **LadyTevar** » 2003-10-02 02:25pm

Something else that some might consider 'cool':

I've coursed greyhounds.

There is something absolutely powerfully beautiful about a greyhound. When they see the lure (a plastic bag in this case, on a dragline), they start getting excited. You have to put an arm under their chest and lift them off the ground to keep them from darting after it untimely.
Then, 'Tally ho' is shouted, and by the time you release your hold on chest and collar and step back the hound is already ten feet away and gaining speed.

It's pure excitement, watching them run the course. And pure pagentry when the owners are the Queen and her Court, in full regalia.

The Nantahala was the river I went over the falls backwards on. The Ocoee is a fun river too.
