I had a propensity for climbing large oak trees (we had an old one in our side yard that was AWESOME)... when I was 11, my mother and I got into a fight and I climbed to the TOP of that tree (had to have been 60 feet tall). My mother came outside and yelled at me to come down and I refused. She then told me that I'd come down "sooner or later" and we'd finish our "discussion".
Well, I stepped on a rotted branch and FELL. Broke my left femur. Hurt like a motherfucker - my leg was totally croggled and I was screaming like a banshee. My mum heard me yelling and came outside to see what the ruckus was about...
And then promptly told me that "this is what you deserve, climbing that tree and NOT LISTENING TO ME!!" She went on for about 5 minutes before she called the ambulance.

hmm..well for starters,..
tackle football............in the street, we figured getting scuffed up was better than diving into cactus and getting into trouble for damaging the plants..let alone the football popping
war...with rocks, metal trash can lids for shields
lawn dart wars
jelly fish fights
fondue fork fights
trying to dive into the center of a spring (tall dead tree that hung over a natural spring surrounded by rocks, that stopped after someone was paralyzed)
there was more but i didnt really get crazy till i was allowed out after dark :willy_nilly:

When someone new would come hang out with us on the farm, I'd get my sister to come with and I'd tell the new person about how if you have a line of people and go up and touch an electric fence no one gets shocked. So we'd all go up to the fence, holding hands of course, and the dingbat on the end got a good shock. lol

I used to be found at the top of lamposts, the kids in the street used to ring on my parents doorbell and tell them "Laurie is up the lampost" to which my parents were like "again? just leave her".
Used to play chappie/ring and run a lot
The guy at the top of the street we named "happy chappy" cos he was such a grouch. Played football outside his house to annoy him. If we got the ball in his garden, he would come out and pop it. Bastard.
Build dams in the rivers
I used to get in a lot of mischief but I cant remember a lot atm.

When I was really young ( 5 or 6 ) I stuck wires into the wall socket and lite up a Christmas the old style light Bulb with 110 volts.. Blew all the fuses in the house that time and a few fingers for badly burned.
About the same age, I remember my mother had a canary ( yellow one ) that all my family would pick it up in the cage and it would happily chip away and give everyone kisses. One day I climbed up to the cage and got my hands on the bird when my Mom was on the phone. I brought it to her all proud I had caught the bird and laid the limp bird, to her horror, dead in her hand. I think that was when I got my empathy for animals.
We used to play who can stick their tongue on the metal fence post the longest in the dead of winter.. When it's minus 40 usually the fence post always won. My Mom had to come out with boiling water to get us unstuck..
In my teens the worse I ever did was get McDonalds straws and sit in the mall and shot spit balls at bald men head from the second level to the bottom with my friend. He was always the one with these silly ideas and would challenge me.

when i was a teen we used to buy a few fireworks and head up to this park on a hill. We'd then hold them, light them and run around trying to shoot each other with them. Just took the one time that someone actually got hit that we figured it wasn't a fun game after all... the guy lost some of his hair. ahahahahahaha!!!! omg i still laugh and its not funny! hahahahahaha!!!
climbing trees as high as we could and seeing who could jump from the highest one.... thankfully we did the drop and roll so none of us ever broke anything....few times lost a breath though landing too hard on our backs. lmao!!!
stringing fish hooks around our tree fort to keep other kids in the nieghbourhood from getting our stuff.
crabapple fights on the way home...wow did they hurt when they got whipped at you from someone who know how to throw right....broke a few windows on the way home too from the odd apple being thrown wrong....we'd run like mad and never got caught. LOL
jumping off the train bridge over the boat locks.... when i drive by there now, christ we were crazy jumping from that height and into water black as night.
cliff jumping along lake superior...thankfully we were smart enough to always jump feet first.
putting a door shim in front of the teachers lounge door.... that was great, but i got caught and had to do lines for a week, " I will not lock my teachers up." LMFAO!!!!!
