I can't believe I watched the whole thing. Those guys identified the stunts accurately...."stupid stuff!"
@brad-ott needs to front up there with his surveyor's?ÿtrolley and get some gnarly air-time.
Brad has enough trouble keeping up with me and Don Blameuser in a golf cart. ?????ÿ

Unc, these are just kids compared to you, you know 25 to 50 years younger than you. (you're welcome, I thought you might like that eye-opener fact) When you were an insane teenager, and since you are a gearhead you had to have thought about mounting a 50cc to 1200cc motorcycle engine "borrowed" from someone to a go kart, shopping cart, or even a creeper. You must have had some sort of ordeal, which you could slip into verbiage for the rest of us, growing up that involved engines, Beer, girls and law enforcement and possibly even Holden! (prior to his "seeing the light"). ?????ÿ

Oh we did our share of "stupid stuff".?ÿ Still have the scars to prove it!
Holden and I were reminiscing the other day about our "pyro" days.?ÿ One particularly stupid stunt we liked was filling up an empty tin pint paint can with strike-anywhere kitchen match heads (with the sticks meticulously removed).?ÿ And trust me, you had to be careful in the process.
Once the can was about 7/8 full the lid was pressed on tight.?ÿ Then some 'brave' soul, usually me because of my age, would throw the can down onto the concrete, lid first.?ÿ The results always varied but never disappointed.
We used a can once that Pops had used to clean paint brushes.?ÿ It had in it some semi-dried paint and possibly even some gasoline residue.....that was our 'finest hour'.
Like I said, "stupid stuff".?ÿ 😉
Whatever became of Don??ÿ He used to be an active participant here but hasn't posted in 3 years.
@bill93?ÿ Don retired from this office then, and has been offline since.
Stabbing a pocket knife as hard as possible into the side of a full can of an aerosol spray of some sort while holding it in the other hand.?ÿ Learned quickly how far that stuff can shoot and how cold that can will get on a hot Summer day.?ÿ Stupid stuff.?ÿ No phones, No 911.?ÿ Just kids on bicycles a mile from the nearest house.
I don??t know about you but I went home numerous times bleeding like a sieve after a bicycle crash. (never my fault) A splash of micurichrome and a band-aid or 2 and your ready to go again. Today you??d be hauled by helicopter to a trauma center. ?????ÿ
@flga-2-2
Ain't that the truth.?ÿ Monkey blood is what we called the red stuff from a bottle.
Of course, if it happened today, I'd probably pass out from loss of blood.?ÿ Bleed like a stuck hog from minor things anymore.
Loved the video. Danger? Nah!?ÿ
@warren-smith ...and the only survey related activity I've participated in since is to renew my license. Hi to all, I'm going back to my nap now.
With my luck and skill, that pocket knife would fold up and cut off a finger or two.
I have relieved the pressure in cans before throwing them away, but do so by drilling with the point of a knife wiggled back and forth, or else driving a nail into them.

Between the age of 3 to 8 years we lived in England, so I must have been about 7 when our school went on a trip to the zoo. I was given something like 50p for pocket money and I bought a pocket knife. I was really anxious about buying it, fearing it wouldn't go down to well with the hierarchy, so I thought I'd take it home and use it under their supervision. But I couldn't resist opening it up at the zoo, and the resulting 1/2" scar is still visible on my index finger today, over 40 years later. I wish I was still a boy.
@holy-cow I funded the retirement account for the owners of Hydrogen Peroxide from the ages of 5 to 11 almost always being required because of infections resulting from bicycle road rash.
As a boy I often went to a Wednesday night children's function at our church.?ÿ At the age of 7 or 8, I remember receiving, along with the other boys, a?ÿpocket knife as a reward for good attendance or memorizing Bible verses or something.?ÿ I can't imagine the pearl-clutching and inquiries that would happen today if a bunch of boys walked out of church more well-armed than when they'd arrived.?ÿ I still have the knife 30-some years later.
