The most foolish thing you've ever done.

No rules on this one. You monkeys don't follow them anyways.

The most foolish thing I've ever done was post this. More to follow.....

Telling the world the most foolish thing I've done would be the most foolish thing I could ever do.

But nobody is listening. Go for it.

Musical (coz this is Cakewalk): Turned down the roll of bass player in a successful rock band. At the time, they were opening for my band on a tour while waiting for their album to come out. Six months later they were playing stadiums, a year later I was working for a bank. They're quite wealthy today, i'm not.

Non-Musical (coz there are no rules): When I was a teenager, I once injected vodka (sharing a needle with 3 friends). I didn't think anything of it until last year, when reading Nikki Sixx's autobiography and he emphasized his wildness with a similar anecdote. Wow, and I thought I was mostly sane and conservative...

ps. Bapu, congrats on 2257. Some addictions can be pretty rough...

'Not today' is good enough for today.

Ha ha! You guys will never hear about the most foolish things I've done. But I'll be glad to read your embarrassing accounts!

You guys are acting like a bunch of whimps!...I'll share a story from almost 20 years ago. (It's a copy/paste from a thread on my local car club)

Here's my story:

I went to a party with a good friend and my girlfriend, he drove.

At said party drank 2 bottles of Boone's farm, a fifth of 100proof scnapps, and a couple of beers off the keg (by myself). Proceeded to get beligerent, and girlfriend all the sudden seemed promiscuos (sp)...then started accusing her of getting friendly with guys at the party. Then turned to brawling with several dudes and was ejected.

Walked home 15 miles...I was staggering down the middle of Woodridge drive when a cop stopped me and asked me if I was OK.

I proceeded with my drunken rage fueled story...and he drove off. Said friend passes me driving ex girlfriend home. I ran the last half-mile to my car, then drive over to his house...a few blocks away. Parked up on his lawn, then ran inside his house. His room was the basement, and the bathroom was at the bottom of the stairs.

I could hear someone splashing in the bath...then in my drunken rage, jealious stupor...busted in the door to said bathroom thinking my girlfriend and said friend were bathing together.

Got to see his father naked instead.

Went back outside to run into said friend in driveway...and fight ensues. While he laid on the driveway after I knocked his ass out, got back into car and did donuts on his lawn.

Got back onto 83rd street to head home, but was driving on the wrong side of the street at about 80mph.

Same cop pulls me over and asks me to do the alphabet while looking at my license. See's I live just yards to where he pulled me over...while I tell him I'm too wasted to get past "m". He offers I pull my car into the municipal lot across the street, and if my car moves before 7am he will arrest me...and let it slide.

This is the best I can recall of that night..

I stayed up till 7, got my car and went to White Castle for breakfast.

Jinga
I share that regret, except that if I had married her, I wouldnt have the kids I have right now. Dated through much of high school and on and off during college. I moved on. She was always there when i called.

Unfortunately she was killed in New Orleans 24 years ago when someone broke into her apartment. Can't go back on that one. Maybe the sweetest most caring woman I ever met. Never a day that goes by that I dont think of her. Damn

Bit
I have used that line since oh about 2 days after I got married

You a big gambler? Everytime I see you you're in Vegas.

he's got too many of my genes.

So what do you wear when you go out in public? Rimshot.
Maybe you need to put a lock on your dresser. Rimshot.
Let him get a job and buy his own pants. Rimshot.
Why not dress him in khaki's? Problem solved. Rimshot.

I've got a list as long as your arm, but I'm not ready to share them with you guys yet.

Maybe one day.

Edit to add: Most my misdemeanours do tend to revolve around beer, cars, girls, football or chemicals.

A few years ago I was seeing this really hot girl some twenty years younger than me, we started dating not long after I'd had dentures fitted.

On the occasion of our first kiss it seemed kind of strange, which was the only explanation I can give as to why I came out with the killer line...

"Hey I've never kissed a girl with dentures before!"...

She must have found it quite endearing though as we went out for nearly a year after that.

Not the MOST foolish thing I can put my signature too by any means but it is an indicator of my capabilities in this particular area of expertise I seem to have been blessed with.

The most foolish thing I've ever done was buy, over the course of seven years, $185 billion* in guitars and gear without having a clue what I was going to do with it. I am poor and have no savings. I have $4* in my IRA and 32 cents* in my savings account.

Still, it's been fun.

*Dollar amounts has been rounded slightly for dramatic effect.

The most foolish thing you've ever done.

Walking 4 miles home through town at 2am, drunk, dressed as Jake from The Blues Brothers, followed by 3 skinheads, then turning around to face them, putting my sunglasses in my hat and saying..'OK you w*****s, who's first?'

Kate.
