Have your ever done something that seemed perfectly brilliant at the time only to realize it was a really dumb idea after the fact?
I am thinking along the lines of those prolific youtube videos that always seem to involve college-aged dudes, beer, skateboards, and a house roof. If so, what was it? Did you learn anything from it? And, knowing what you now know, if you were able to redo that moment in your life, would you still have done it anyway?

Golly. Thanks for sharing, Riser! :)
As for me, I had a crush on an Italian foreign exchange student and tried to learn a little Italian to seduce him. It went poorly (perhaps I chose the wrong text?). Soon I was the object of WAY TOO MUCH enthusiastic attention-kissing, grabbing, stalking. Note to self: cross-cultural seduction with mostly strangers should be attempted with caution.
I thought I was smart in arguing with my girlfriend. Hindsight tells me that I was naive in doing so.
Moral of the story: choose your battles with girls wisely.
One time when my parents were on vacation, I decided to mow their lawn for them. So I was the only one home, outside mowing the lawn on a riding tractor when I ran out of gas. I stalled on a hill and wasn’t sure what to do and didnt know where the brake was so I had the bright idea of jumping off and quickly getting in front of the tractor so I could push it up to level ground. The tractor nearly ran me over and rolled down the hill and into the trees. Worst part was- I thought no one was watching but the neighbor saw the whole thing and came down to ask me if I was ok.
I feel like this is the story of my life! Especially when I was little, I got into what a children’s book author of another era might kindly call “scrapes” all the time. (Now they are less common, but still occur on a semi-regular basis, sigh…)
I remember when I was about 5 or 6, my neighbors had a pet guinea pig they kept in a pen in their backyard. I went over to their house once to play with it, but they weren’t home. So I thought it would be ok if I just took it out for a little bit and put it back without them knowing. Unfortunately, the guinea pig got out of my grasp and ran away. I spent at least an hour chasing it under bushes and through yards before I caught it. When I was walking up to their house with it in my arms, they pulled up in the driveway. “Your guinea pig escaped,” I said lamely. “I caught it for you.”
It seemed like a good idea at the time…
yes, every time I smoke the ganja. You get these brilliant ideas that just don’t seem too bright when you are sober.
Ahahahahaha. Riser. This….. is just… gold. XD
