Post funny things you remember doing in the past that seem pretty silly now

When I was a kid, I used to call Duke Nukem: "Nukem Dukem"

I used to watch TV.

On the other hand, given that most of what I did watch were cartoons, I'm not sure it qualifies for seeming silly.

I used to root for the SF 49ers.

When I was very young I tried to watch an adult movie on an encrypted channel.. without a decrypter.

When I was young I tried to watch Tutti Frutti every week....

the most stupid show ever made. A Game Show where half naked women were dancing around and the participants had to strip off...

When I remembered correctly, there were no rules at all and the presenter of the show even had no clue most of the time who is getting now the point, or even money... but he even did not care at all, as long as the participants had to strip :)

Who didn't? :p I remember being 11 and while my father and his girlfriend were out to a café (yes, we were allowed to stay home alone) I'd use the dialer (still an old fashioned turning knob thingy) to fine tune it until you could really see the sex except in negative :p

For me: I once broke into a recycling plant when I was 15 together with a friend. We used to love sneaking into semi-open buildings and poking around - we had heard someone else had gone there to look into the paper containers because a lot of books and magazines were thrown away. My friend collected certain articles and I was looking mostly for comic books and stuff (and porn of course :p). After an hour of searching (it was a HUGE container) we found about 20 comic books, some porn mags, a whole pile of torn pages from magazines for my friend and a bunch of reading books. Just as we were getting out, we saw a light from the furnace plant and got caught (we would have bolted except our hands were full of stuff and our bag with personal stuff was still inside the container so they'd have found that otherwise).

So yeah, a trip to the police station :p and they all had a big laugh. Dumb asses too - I had to give my testimony and the idiot in question made like several dozen spelling mistakes (which I constantly corrected as he was typing it out, to his dismay and the amusement of his colleagues). He refused to correct them and then shoved the printed paper under my nose to sign to which I said "I don't want to sign that, they'll think it was me who wrote the thing including all the spelling mistakes" which resulted in his colleagues nearly dropping to the floor laughing. After several threats from him, I took the pen and first corrected all the spelling mistakes before signing it. And then we got to go home and nothing ever came from it - except a good story to tell.

This = awesome.

Probably the second stupidest thing I ever did was get into the Sims. Yes, I used to play the Sims, god those were wasted years. Never played it straight, always tried to make my neighbourhood into some sort of twisted Supernatural Haven with aliens and vampires and steampunk stuff, but while it made you think you could create what you wanted you really couldn't, you just kept doing the same thing thinking that once you had achieved just that little bit more you would then start actually having fun, and the milkage of the franchise was so blatant. Snapped out of it when I got the Sims 3 and realised that not only did EA expect me to buy all that shit again for not reason, but that they were even going to charge more and get you with dlc. Finally realised the tooth and broke free of the bug-filled crap and time-wastage.

The most stupidest thing I ever did however was admitting in this post that I played the Sims... ;)

When I was 14 I stole a sack of flour from the school cafeteria during recess. I then had some, uh, difficulty explaining to the teacher the reasons as to why I was covered in flour during the next class and got caught.

At about the same time I also stole a whole bag full of school supplies. I had procured the key to the supplies room, snuck out during a class, locked myself in and filled my gym bag with empty notebooks, pens, folders, erasers and shit. Still have no clue why I did that. Never got caught though, the rest of the class kept their mouths shut about it. Probably because I was giving out copious amounts of free marker pens.

I also stole (yeah, was a bit kleptomaniac at that time) some porn mags off of a delivery truck once.

Once got so "tired" of class that I just opened the window and jumped out. This was from the second floor.

Once hid some milk cartons in the ventilation ducts at school. Started smelling preeeettttyyy foul after a couple of weeks.

I've probably done more shit, well I know I have, but that's the first things that came to mind ...

I used to trust politicians....

After telling my older sister that it was just chocolate, I fed her an exorbitant amount of Ex-Lax.

With my younger sister I would replay the sad scenes of Disney movies just to see her cry.

Pretty silly stuff.

uhh... shame on you... this is the worst you can do... all the other stories are nothing against that :)

In 2nd grade I decided that I didn't like doing my schoolwork, so instead of actually doing it, I would make squiggly lines in the answer spaces (except on quizzes and tests, of course). There were two things weird about it: (1) my teacher didn't find out about it until maybe a month or two later, and (2) every single person in my class except for one kid did the exact same thing. To this day my parents think that we planned it, but that was not the case. It was odd really.

(Another odd thing about the situation was when my teacher was going to each person's desk to see how much we didn't do. As she was going through my stuff, she kept saying, "This is unreal." Scared out of my mind, my brain started disassociating itself with reality and I kept thinking, "Hey, I have that game.")

In my 2nd year at highschool (14yoish) at the end of term i put a mackrel behind a cupboard in a math room an selotaped stink bombs in every door frame so they broke when the doors were closed.
The school was closed for 8 months and when we did go back the maths room was out of bounds but we checked and the mackrel was still there though this time it was putrified and stuck to the cupboard. It was so rank it almost made me sick.

Damn, I did too:)
