What comes to mind is sword swallowing. That's just crazy stupid. Can you imagine practicing until you get it right.

Javelin Catching?

Base jumping. It's bad enough jumping out of a perfectly good airplane much less off a cliff.

wolfmanyoda · 06-03-2009, 04:58 PM

I wouldn't even jump out of the airplane.

Ever jump out of a plane?

Gene Howe · 06-03-2009, 06:37 PM

Yeah many times...just close your eyes and hold your nose.

I would never jump out of a plane or bungee jump for that matter.

I'm working hard at avoiding that whole "cutting limbs off with power tools" thing. So far so good.

My dad wrestled gators tried to teach me but not interested over 4 ft. He would jump out the boat with a flashlight and a rope. Crazy

One of many thing I wouldn't do Again is pick up a cottonmouth snake. Ain't never going to do that again.

I jumped out of a 'perfectly good airplane' once.

Birthday gift from my daughter...What an adrenalin rush......

I would definately do it again.... just wish I could of had some freefall time. My jump was with a static line, they won't let a 1st-timer pull their own ripcord.... I guess some 1st-timers just forget to pull it.... and kinda go 'splat'

I've also bungee jumped a few time.... again.... what a rush.... especially the 1st time.

I suppose there are a few things I won't try.... although my wife tells me there are fewer things I won't do than the average 'Joe'

p.s. My daughter jumped out of that same plane just ahead of me... like father.... like daughter... I guess.
(But her husband won't even consider it!... imagine that!)

RHarkins · 06-04-2009, 01:55 PM

by the way.... I've also taken my wife to Hooters..

We both love their wings.... (That's CHICKEN wings to those of you in the gutter.)

I guess she figures since I'm likely to go for the 'wings' anyway, she might as well 'chaperone' me....

I've always said that I see no reason to jump out of a perfectly good airplane and would have reservations about jumping out of one that was damaged. Ain't going to happen. What am I going to do this weekend? Pay to have my youngest boy make a tandem jump out of a airplane for his 21st birthday present. He has always wanted to do it so we figured that it would be something that he wouldn't guess that we would give him. Actually tonight he was a little miffed that we didn't give him anything and just put him off. He knows he's getting something just doesn't know what.

This might turn out to be one of those..."be careful what you ask for" situations. Make it a night jump. It's a whole different trip.

I found a note in my fathers desk after he died, interesting thought, "I will never do anything that will interfere with my doing anything". He had been to all 50 states, rarely used interstates, liked to stop and play with rattlesnakes in the road, and much more.
