What's the STRANGEST thing you've ever done?
I do so many strange things I can't pick just one!

Maybe the time I had a baby garter snake that wasn't eating but would drink, so I tried giving him a little expressed breastmilk, because I was desparate to get some nutrition into him. That was pretty strange.

5. Well...
"Why?"
I was a little hellion when I was a kid and a friend and I were daring each other to do stupid stuff. He dared me to do that after I dared him to take all the garden gnomes out of someone's yard and put them in the yard of the house next to it.

"How'd that happen?"
A lot of grunting. :evilgrin:

9. The only thing that comes to mind
Trying to break dance on concrete.... or outside of the Blarneystone one night...I almost got hit by a car... so as it passed I punched it.
It was full of some hook-up lookng Asians..my friend were petrified... The screeched to a halt... I walked up to the car and said, "Hey you guys going to Tri-cities? I need a ride."
They didn't know what to say and drove off (After some profanity)

My friends broke out laughing

Both times I was pissed outta my gourd

10. I Had A Dead Cat In My Refrigerator for a Week
I live in an apartment, and I'm 2,000 miles from my Mom's backyard where we bury cats. When Pete died, we had him cremated and the ashes returned, which was over $300.00, which I didn't have when Ramona died, so I kept her in the refrigerator until I figured out what do with her.

And she wasn't the strangest thing I've had in my refrigerator, either. About 20 years ago I thought I had a miscarriage, but wasn't sure since I didn't think I had been pregnant. I saved the tissue until I could see a doctor, and yes, I had had an incomplete miscarriage.

29. I've done that
they tell you to save any tissue so I put it in a zip lock baggie and wrapped a paper towel around that so we wouldn't see it everytime we opened the fridge. It was heartbreaking.

31. Having Ramona in There Was Far Worse
than having a conceptus in a baggie. I *knew* Ramona for over 12 years.

11. Not really strange but kinda really stupid
I glued my fingernail to my forehead.I cracked my tip and I glued it until I could get to the nail salon.I at the time did not have bangs.My hair would fall into my face.I swiped it away .Thats how I glued my fingernail to my forehead.
I went around for a few days looking like I had a third eye and new spiffy bangs.
*sigh* some days its just hell to be blond

12. I was really sleepy this one time..... (keep in mind I'm a teenager)
and I thought I was dreaming so I was hallucinating. This girl from my class told me to have sex with her so I did. But in reality, she was an empty bag of chips. I feel REALLY sorry for that bag of chips.....

I hope I didn't break any "sex war thread" rules or whatever you call them :7

16. Out of the Mainstream-type strange??????
I was on a real Apocalypse Now kick back in the early 80's. I would turn off all the lights and light dozens of candles and incense and sit cross legged in the middle of the room, get really stoned and listen to the soundtrack from beginning to end. I did this about 40 times.

I also purposely went to see the movie during a heat wave when I knew that the theater didn't have AC. I thought that since the movie was set in tropical Southeast Asia, it would be more realistic viewing it with the temperature up around 100 degrees. The person who went with me left after about 15 minutes, but I stuck it out.


On a personel level, I once made a death-defying climb up a water tower that was atop a 10 story building, for no real reason. That was strange, at least 'out-of-character strange'.

17. Conducted a focus group for a movie that was coming out
We interviewed 14 to 16 year olds about what they thought about trailers for an R rated movie then and asked them if they would go to see it based on what they saw in advertising campaign.

21. I stole someones shoes
and kept them from her the whole day. It was the day before HS graduation and my friends and I took a girl's sandals (don't worry she was a friend) and played an elaborate game of keep-away involving the entire senior class and a couple of walkie-talkies. By the end of the day she had gotten yelled at by a few teachers and her feet were so dirty. But to make sure she had no hard feelings we took her out to lunch. She was pissed but now we laugh about it.

I also participated in an elaborate prank to steal someone's car and have it parked in the middle of the football field. That kind of stuff doesn't just happen in the movies. I had fun in high school

23. Huge hissy fit in a store
I'm a regular customer and I wanted to return something, I don't recall what. They were ready to take the item back, but they would only give me the on sale price. The guy who sold it to me remembered me buying it and remembered that it wasn't on sale when I bought it. But he still wouldn't give me back the full price. I told him to keep it and wouldn't take any money back. As I walked out of the store I turned and stated very loudly "All you people need to know this store thinks we're all a bunch of crooks." That was a little strange. :D

25. I filled a guy's Pinto station wagon with stray dogs.
Don't worry. It was at night and cool out and I put plenty of food and water in there for them.

30. I was mad at a guy for breaking up with me
and I was in college. It was open registration day for seniors (him) and I knew his social so I dialed in, put in his info, dropped all his classes and registered him for classes he'd NEVER need (bowling, line dancing, agriculture classes, etc.) and dropped his parking permit, bus pass, yearbook and put on motorcycle permit, video yearbook (no one ever bought that!), an all-sports pass that was $300, a seven day a week, three meal a day mealplan (we lived off campus), etc.

He flipped out when he received his tuition statement. And I had no idea it would turn out this badly, but he couldn't get back in some of his senior level courses (computer science) and they were only offered one semester a year so he had to actually take out more student loans and go to school another summer and fall semester just to finish.

Oy. I promise I have NEVER been that vindictive before or since. And I was kinda horrified at what it caused for him. He never found out. If he suspected, he never confronted me on it. Thank goodness. I would have peed my pants. It was just a lark, really!
