Stupid things you did as a kid

After watching Marry Poppins for the 1st time I jumped off the top of the garage with an umbrella.

I Supermanned off the top of the stairs in my Superman pajamas (they even had a little cape). Did not manage to fly.

I'd say somewhere between Hillary Clinton and Richard Nixon.

Seriously though, it's not too bad. I teach piano, so it's definitely functional.

Well you can probably add your posts in this thread to the pile, but I did think your reply to xyga was sort of sweet in a naive way.

Growing up comes with a lot of other unwelcome shit, like responsibility. You should enjoy making mistakes while you're young.

Looking at the prices now then dumb things are:

Throwing all the Masters of the Universe packaging in the trash . My grandma later gave away my MOTU figures to relatives in East Germany .
Also whenever I got a video game to birthday / christmas my parents / grandparents threw away the boxes .
I had a huge (German) video game magazines collection - one day I cleaned up and decided "I don't need these anymore" and threw them all out => not sure if that counts since I don't really was a kid anymore, more around 20 .

That reminds me of the limited edition millennium Buzz Lightyear with chrome plating (as opposed to green) that I have. It has a broken communicator cover, and tons of scratches on his helmet from when I would smash rocks into it pretending they're asteroids.

I'm almost positive that if it weren't for that, I'd be able to sell it for a fairly sizable amount. If not now, then in a few years or so.

I also have this old castle toy with gold and black colored knights that's worth a fair bit, but the king of the black knights has his axe broken off. This is even worse, because I've seen this particular item on a list of things toys worth a lot of money and I know collectors are stingy about those imperfections. I'm just sorta guessing with Buzz, but for this one I saw an actual selling price!

I wonder if a hardcore Disney fan vandalized Toy Story displays at stores and maced a Toys-R-Us employee over it.

Attention Everyone!!!

To preface what has happened recently, I simply remind everyone that Buzz Lightyear Is Not Freaking Chrome!!!

Sometime in the late 90's I used AOL's name generator for the chat rooms, it gave me the name "Septic Tank". I had no idea what a septic tank was at the time, but I thought it was pretty cool... Till someone pointed it out to me. Laughed at by strangers in an AOL chatroom for not knowing what a septic tank is...

Surely someone else here watched the WCW vs NWO era of wrestling. Well I thought Sting was pretty cool aye, pointing a baseball bat at people and shit, so I took a tape measurer into school one day and got into a little dispute with a girl who wasn't overly fond of me. So with a menacing glare (about as menacing as a 9 year old could manage anyway) I extended the tape measurer... Pointed it at her like Sting and tried to whip her with it. I'm pretty sure it missed, but I remember her hissing and snarling at me (...like a cat) as I piss-bolted.

Finally. Used to pretend to be a black girl in Runescape circa 2001, someone saw right through my act and threatened to tell my parents, I believed them, gave them my password (fuck knows why) and... Well. I lost my account of course.

And about a million other stupid things that resulted in me becoming a recluse as I got older.

I Tarzanned the curtains and regret nothing

I remember my first troll. I was about 12 when I got access to an early version of the Prodigy online service. The client ran in DOS and I don't think it was even connected to the internet at that time. So anyway, I went to their tech support page and asked how babies are made.

As for other stupid things, there were some instances of pointless destruction, acting like a dick for no reason, assaulting my little brother, stuff like that. One time on a class field trip, I threw a Walkman out the school bus window which then travelled into the open window of another school bus as it passed by (definitely a 1-in-1000 shot). The teacher was very unhappy about this. Later we had a conversation about it in the principal's office which made her even more unhappy because I kept saying that it was already broken before I threw it out the window and it didn't hit anybody so who cares? lol

A year from now, will I cringe at my posts here as hard as I currently cringe at my earliest posts?

There's something very embarrassing about all this.

Holy fuck do I now understand what you meant by that. What was I expecting, "0 N03Z!!!!!!!!!1111 H3ARE LET M3 H4LP j00 LRN JAPANEZE!!!!!111 4LL j00 N33D 2 |)0 1$ [unknown method for learning the entirety of the Japanese written and spoken language in a few days] 4|\||) j00 \/\/!|_|_ 83 4|_|_ $37!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111111111111111111111111ONEone" as a response?

Great, good luck with that.

I bought Desert Strike for the SMS when I had the chance to buy Power Strike II. I loved the first game so much I didn't think the sequel would live up to it, and the plot was totally different so I wasn't interested. And Desert Strike was hot property at the time and HOLY SHIT THEY DID AN SMS VERSION MUST BUY!

[MintyTheCat]

Far, far too many to mention.

On this forum:
-Being a total fucking whiny ungrateful male-bitch to Skips to the point where he PM'd me telling me not to contact him ever again

On the internet, other than this forum:
-"Trolling" on XKCD Forums, then trying to use the same account to be a regular user, getting banned, making more accounts until I finally got IP banned (my parents switched internet providers, so I can access it again)

IRL:
-Getting permabanned from Game Underground last year for being a total fucking retard
-Locking all the camp counselors at this daycamp I hated out of the main building when I was 10 after being inspired by Calvin and Hobbes
-Tons more I don't even want to share

EDIT: Took out stuff everyone already knows

Sorry if I'm being a bit blunt about this, but you might blend in a little better if you didn't constantly remind us of your past embarassing moments here and of the fact that you're underage.

Yeah, I should probably stop doing those things. That "tutorial" you wrote on how to become Japanese was fucking hilarious, though.
