Setting off an entire box of firecrackers. In front of a police station. At night.

did you stay around to watch it or did you run for your life?

It was my dumbass friend who did it over the summer when I was not here. He decided to stay and was yelled at by a cop for about 5 minutes. No charges were pressed, he wasn't arrested, he just got a good tongue lashing Needless to say, he didn't do it again. My other friends and I like to bring it up whenever a cop is within earshot. It always makes for entertaining conversation.

As far as brand goes? I have no idea. But they were the little firecrackers, the kind that come in a box and you throw them on the ground and make a loud sound.

Trying to cut tree branches (drunk) with a ninja sword. Miss branch, sword goes all the way through leg, no dancing for weeks, still can't really sit cross legged.

I just had to drill a few holes into a two-by-four, but it's cold outside, so I thought, "Hey! I'll just use my drill inside the house! Brilliant!" So I wound up propping the board up against a working toilet to get the job done - only to realize after the fact that I flirted with disaster, and she winked back.
I suspect that there are many more stories to put mine to shame. Let's hear 'em.

Alchohol and drugs. I am serious, don't!
