What kind of play got you into trouble as a kid?

[TrueDave]

Snowballs at moving cars, Toilet Papering your neighbors house, "exploring" abandoned factories, stealing candy bars and ESB cards. Playing on the trains at the yard, jumping from one garage roof to teh next.

What kind of trouble did you and your buddies get into as a kid?

Hmmmm....

We did all them things you mention and never got caught, injured or traumatized by any of it. We DID get hammered pretty hard by the powers that be for playing Dungeons and Dragons.

Go fig.

"Doctor" Never Blew Over Very well with the Neighborhood Girls.

Fireworks. The kind that are illegal in Kentucky, but not in nearby Tennessee.

I was once chased through town by a raving mad redneck in a monster truck, after my friend threw a bottle rocket out into the street, and it launched into the guy's truck and exploded. In hindsight, I can't say I blamed him.

Our last hurrah resulted in us being chased through the backyards of a friend's neighborhood by a sheriff's deputy. We were all over 18 by that point, so it would have gotten ugly if we'd been caught.

I was a straight kid, never drank, never did drugs, but pyrotechnics were my one weakness.

Always got in trouble for ditching baseball or lacrosse practice, to go fishing or diving... My mom would ask me where I was and I'd say "At practice, why?" She'd say; "Because you smell like fish..." Some things never change, I guess. Some things were never meant to, I guess.

I was notorious for Water Balloons and throwing rotten eggs and other things.......If you were a bully or a known thief or you did me wrong......you had a Target on your back and I had deadly aim and a strong arm.......

Putting stuff on the train tracks. (coins, pop cans)
Nicky-nicky-nine-door. (knocking on doors and running away)
Stealing X-mas Lights. (for the life of me I dont know what we were thinking)
Pool Hopping (more as a teenager than a kid)
Egging houses (we did this all year round)

I found when a girl said "No" it didn't always mean No, however when a girl said "I'm about to call the police" it meant she was about to call the police.

Second coolest thing I ever saw was like that. My buddy Shawn and I were pelting cars with snowballs. A big "raving mad redneck" chased us across the park. I looked over at Shawn as we were running his gymshoe came loose in front of him as he ran and flew off, he CAUGHT it and kept running without breaking stride.

First coolest thing I ever saw was the motorcyclists in teh round cage at the circus Vroom!

Shooting out lights on buildings with my BB Gun. I was known as Deadeye back then. I could hit anything. I probably would have made a good sniper if my life had gone in a different direction.

Alternately, using my wrist-rocket to shatter the windows of buildings, cars, or whatever. Nothing like the sound of glass breaking. I gave it all up when I was shooting out the windows of a little camp-trailer and a guy came out with a shotgun. I ran as fast as I could and went home, never to do it again.

I was stupid back then. Come to think of it, I'm still pretty stupid.



I also used to rip off the vending machines at the prison that my uncle was in when we went to visit him. Insert coins, and push selection and coin reject at the same time, and I'd get a cup of hot chocolate AND my money back. I got away with that though.

The worst trouble I got into was lying about going to a High School party...one of the big school parties (even two members from Hootie and the Blowfish, who went to my High School were in a band playing there). Party a couple of miles from my house...walking distance but far enough away that my parents wouldn't hear it. A friend of mine came over and the plan was we were going to a movie with another friend who lived up the road and we were going to walk to his house. My mom insisted on driving us to the friends house and of course drove right past the huge party when the lightbulb went off. The next day, I woke up and my mom asked what movie I saw. I don't remember what I said but 20 or 30 minutes later my friend walked up and she asked him what movie we saw and he said something completely different.....we were busted and I was grounded for weeks.
