Thread: Stupid things we did as kids

Silliest - When young, lead by an older neighbour (of course), we would make up fluid mixtures and throw into the drains. Would blow the concrete lids off usually cracking them. We stopped when we we total disintegrated one.

As I am the village ewok at the moment I may as well divulge some more of not so bright ideas, The chart topper was first attempt at riding a horse, I had no formal lessons and thought it cant be that hard, I had an old 3/4 arab welsh mountain mare and a saddle that come with her so one I saddled her up, put on foot in the stirrup and hauled myself up and slipped straight of the other side, I didnt do the girth up tight enuff did I.
Thought we could doctor up our report cards by turning Es into Bs and Ds into Bs, didnt work got flogged for that by dad and caned by the headmaster.
One good involving a dinghy and what happens when three men piddle over the side at the same time, I miss that fishing rod!

I'm still a kid now. Only difference is now they pay me to blow stuff up. Oh and its safer.

We had a padock basher at my best mates farm, sigma I think. This thing took a lot. It had been air born, side ways, rolled, crashed and on fire. Had a peice of rail line as a bumper. Its end to life came after its last air born event when the gear stick had been replaced by a screw driver (first and second only) then the gear box fell apart. The engine still ran so some one came up with the idea to shoot it while running.

Dumb thing to do!!!!

So out came the gun, 6.5 I think, decided to shoot from the creek and bang....... nothing happened.

Missed....

Bang......... bang......... BOOM...........Finaly the engine stoped. Went and had a look and one round entred a cylinder and caused a con rod to bend a exit the side of the block. Scared the ....... out of us. There are other things, but that would be near the top of stupid things. Farms are dangerous places, and with idiots like us running around back then I'm buggered why I here now.

Cheer Easo

My 2 younger brothers and i had bows and an air rifle, one day one of them shot an arrow at me so i shot him in the leg . My youngest bro was running down hill and the other 1 shot an arrow up in the air, when younger bro came back up we noticed he had an arrow protruding from his head , it just grazed his skull and stuck in some loose skin- so i reached over and pulled it out, he didnt even feel it !

silly and funny .... as kids me and a few mates were out in the bush playing war with wooden guns . Anyways we cornered this kid up against a fence and he wanted the game to stop because he was busting for a leak . so we let him . we all turn around so he can leak and next thing we hear a bang and a scream and we spun around and he was on the deck with his hands grabbing at his "johnson" . he had taken a leak right on an electric fence I tell ya we laughed for weeks on that one

Was lookin around the local dump when i was living at Blackall as a 14 yr old and we found a box of old shotgun shell's unfired.The dump had big pits that they used to burn the rubbish in,so me and my mate decided to chuck em in the fire ,the noise was unreal we **** our pants ,we waited about 10 mins for the last of them to go off then we walked over to have a look and just as we got to the edge of the pit one went off and hit me in the chin,there was blood everywere i still got a good scare
