I use to put news papers for the store at the station on the express track. I guess the DPW guy didn't mind cleaning up the mess and I also put quarters or dimes on the track other then that I was a good kid.

I was an absolute PERFECT angel.


I have nothing clever to put here.

We used to take a large size weeble (weeble's wobble but they don't fall down) and drape a coat over it, with a hat on top.

Strategically placed in the middle of the gravel road just below a rise, it made for some entertaining defensive driving exhibitions, Lol.

No ditches, and grass fields on each side of the road kept it somewhat safe as we hid in the woods bent over from laughing while they lost control & spun out in the field....In mine & the neighborhood kids defense this was BFE rural KY, and we were always broke & out of .22 ammo. whistle

Disassembled and reassembled every firearm in the house, there were alot of them, until I fully understood how they operated.

I was doing a science project with my brother when I was a kid. We had to make a battery using copper pennies, aluminum foil, salt water, and copper wire. Supposedly when you assembled the battery according to the instructions, you could touch the wires together and get a spark. Mine did not spark. Being the bright young Einstein I was, I thought I'll just do what dad does when his battery doesn't work. I'll give it a charge. I took the sopping wet roll of copper, foil, and wires still dripping salt water and stuck the 2 bare wires into an outlet in the wall. It shot my arse across the room and left a burn mark 4' up the wall. Pennies became shrapnel, so my brother ducked for cover. The outlet slowly melted out of the wall, dripping hot plastic onto the floor. I attempted to regain consciousness, had a heck of a time trying to regain my sight. The smell of burnt flesh and hair lingered in the air. The hair on my head stood up for 2 days. After the initial excitement and "what were you thinking" from my parents I realized my battery got charged. So, I figured it was a success.

That was probably the worst thing I did as a kid.

We had a neighbor that we didn't get along with. I put a skunk in his mailbox. Unfortunately, it was BEFORE the mailman went by that day.

Always wanted to shoot the insulaters off of a high line pole. Was always too afraid of what Dad would do if he found out about it.

I fail to see how that was bad

I was encouraged my dad even bought me a broken revolver to try and fix

I broke a window , it got unintentionally shot with a BB gun the target was not the window but the window was behind the target , I admitted to breaking it but not how exactly , yup that's the worst I have.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Actually, those were just Canadian hockey players with mullets so no harm, no foul.

Grade 10 powermech class we each had to rebuild an old 4 stroke engine and have it running. When nobody was looking, I filled the combustion chamber of Dallas’s old tiller motor with cylicone. When he pulled it over it just went fump fump fump and teacher goes “well Dallas, what are you going to do?” Pulls the plug to check for spark and saw the gunk in there. Teacher said when he finds out who did it, they’d be expelled. Needed 24 credits to graduate and I made it with 24.5. All good.

Made a lot of dad's disappointed in their daughters. Oddly the mom's seemed to not effectively hide their smiles. For some reason a lot of mom's pushed their daughters on me and made available suggested good opportunities to be alone with their daughters. I thought it was cool at the time now I wonder what the heck was wrong with them?

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
