Dumb Kwestion of the Week #9

Hey bouys and gulls, time for another one of those silly questions. This weeks is a doozy.

What's one of the scariest things you've ever done?

I've had a few pretty gnarly experiences of clearly spiritual warfare.  Dealing with that can be very scary.  I've seen, felt, and heard some creepy stuff.

My college roommate accidentally drove the two of us off the side of Mount Lassen one night.  That was pretty intense.  We almost died.  He thought the road went straight but it didn't.  We launched off, catching major air, then tumbled/rolled down about 125 feet before the rocks and trees stopped us from going further.  Oh and our other roommate and his girlfriend picked us up and drove us home and we almost got in a head-on by someone who fell asleep at the wheel too.  Eventful night!

Went the wrong way in downtown Kansas City at 3 A.M., and recognizing a bunch of neighborhoods from the TV show COPS.

Joined CHM.

One time I was put in a large pad locked bag, and thrown into a freezing cold lake.  I escaped and swum to the top of the lake to safety.

JUST KIDDING  

I've got a LOT of scary stories, but I'll stick with the one that stuck with me the most:
16 years old. Driving my new/old truck in Palm Springs with my buddy sitting shotgun and 2 other buddies in a VW behind us. We're doing 60mph when I get the cool idea to have my buddy grab the steering wheel and reach his left foot over to accelerate for me while I rolled my window down and stuck my upper torso out of the truck with my arms up in the air doing the devil signs with both hands.... until that gust of wind suddenly hit me hard and almost took me out of the truck.... I had taken Physics class... but that day I learned about it first hand. My heart was beating so hard I thought I was gonna throw up when I got back in the truck.

Then there was the time I out-ran that cop when I was 17.... that's another story for another time.

That story I posted above didnt really happen lol I just made that up!

Seriously one time I was driving home from work and this guy was tailgating me. He must have followed me about five miles till I got off the expressway. I'm driving toward a plaza and he's still behind me. I'm driving down some random side streets and he's still there. I eventually pull in to a parking lot at the local mall. He gets out if his car screaming at me saying he's gonna make a citizens arrest cuz I allegedly cut him off on the expressway. Too bad for him though cuz I got his license plate and called 911 after he took off!

Passed a car with someone oncoming. My heart was beating pretty quickly.

I took a small bottle of shampoo home from a hotel once...

Dang some of you guys have some really scary stories (you almost had me with that first one Cheesy Girl).

Really the scariest thing that ever happened to me was in 9th grade when I asked the prettiest girl in school on a date. Seriously, it was very scary at the time. What was even scarier is she said YES. I agonized over it for DAYS before I was able to dial all seven numbers on the phone. I would always dial the first 6 and hang up....

Also, I had a battery explode right beneath my butt. Basically, I was mowing extremely long grass with a lawn tractor that had an old battery… right when my dad was nearby to give me a hand, the battery (which was underneath the seat) exploded with a pretty loud bang. I was pretty scared.

The scariest thing I've ever done ....
I've really no idea.
One hiking in the Swiss Alps was scary  with a glacier at one side and an abyss at the other side.
What was scary was the visit to the hospital for a punction last year.

When I was 12 years old I was riding my bike near my house. We lived on a rather busy street back then. I remember crossing the street in front of my house, there was this car coming maybe driving 20 mph. I thought I could make it and I got hit. Next thing I remember I was laying on my front lawn, my mom freaking out and this guy I didn't know saying to call an ambulance. Only a week before there was a girl who went to my school who was killed being hit by a car

Lol It was an escape artist I saw on YouTube once!

I ripped one of those tags off a mattress once, the ones that say do not remove under penalty of law. The police came in and beat the stuffing out of me.  

Actually, I have a few being I used to get pretty high and would drink at the same time. Nothing i'm proud of either but one time we purposefully cut off a car in downtown Portland at night and ended up having the other car chase us while one of them tried to hit our car with a bat. We went the wrong way down a one way and drove on the sidewalk. Yeah, I was an idiot.

I can actually remember three incidents, but I will just share one of them.  I used to be in the Army back in the late 1980's (U.S. Army).  My unit went down to Panama to fight against.  Noriega and his Army.   One night my unit set up an ambush in the middle of the jungle, but one of the soldiers was very sick.  I was the medic, and I decided that we needed to evacuate him from the jungle.  We couldn't call in a helicopter (because it could ruin the mission), so we had to walk him through the jungle about 2 kilometers to an extraction point.  The officer in charge gave me only 2 guys as an escort, and the 3 of us had to sneak this guy through the jungle (at night) with known enemy forces (who regularly used that jungle).  Fortunately we did not encounter the enemy, but it was a scary 2 hours (we nearly got lost once).  Just to put it in perspective, we were shot at by the enemy a few days before and it still wasn't as scary as that night in the jungle with that sick soldier.

One of my scariest was when I was sleeping in my truck and it caught fire.  I barely escaped alive.  Most of yall know that story, but it was a rough night.
Fortunately, I am too shallow to care or dwell on it, so it's all history now.

I remember that, it was even scary to just hear about.

I've been shot at, nearly fell into the clutches of a 20ft anaconda, raised a teen-aged daughter, exited high velocity aircraft while in flight, been inches away from death.....and still do not have the courage to post in the theology section at the CMR.

Never been shot at... I was only half-serious.

I've actually been lost in a few... high-crime... areas of St Louis before.
