” I’m guessing this won’t be popular with home schooled kids. :) “

No, it won’t!

This probably was round in the 80’s and before but I don’t remember hearing about it till the 90’s.

The wildest “Challenge” I ever did? At summer camp. Jump into the pool with all your clothing on! Mind you not a swimsuit your regular clothing. I did! I forgot to take off my glasses. They fell off my face and I freaked because I thought they were going to the bottom of the deep end, but one of the camp counselors got them for me.

Oh wow we lived dangerously at Summer camp out in Blue Creek, WVa.

Our fathers must've studied with the same professors.

Some of his other gems:
No one likes a rat.
You can't snow the snow-man
Give you?, I'll give you a * magaga-bag.
The only job you're qualified for is drilling a**holes on wooden horses.

And he somehow managed to keep a running, mental tab for all four of us and would run off the bill for getting us to that point.

* 10lbs of s**t in a 5lb bag

After one mom found her 12-year-old son dead while playing the "fainting challenge"...

Why was the mom playing the fainting challenge?

“You need that like you need a hole in your head.”

Some people DO need a hole in their head.

Isn’t this “game” an off shoot or version of what killed David Carradine? Some sort of “self choking” to get a high?

Eat circus peanuts, and strawberry Quik, then get directly on a Sit & Spin for as long as you can. See if you don’t puke. That was our childhood.

I guess I was a bit more of a rebel than you.Our crimes involved cigarettes (the tobacco kind),firecrackers (loud noises but no damage) and racy magazines (but no harm to any of the girls/women in the neighborhood).

“Our crimes involved cigarettes (the tobacco kind),firecrackers (loud noises but no damage)”

We put a string of firecrackers into a cigarette as a time-delay fuse. Hid it in the outdoor courtyard between classes. A few minutes into class they started popping. Of course racing to the windows with all the other kids to “see what was going on!?”

Probably not a good idea today with all of the shootings.

Isn’t that the same as auto-erotic asphyxiation? David Carradine died from that.

10% is better than 0%.

Remember that mama a few years ago who was on 911 and the operator told her not to use the just expired epi pen on her son so he died. Both were idiots.

Why not just write a check?

Exactly. One would have thought the environuts would have been against it for wasting drinking water and the energy it used to freeze it.

Of course, if our parents had seen us, we would have gotten the belt.

Too many parents don't use belts enough and want to be their kids' bff. That's the problem with today's kids.

Another was - I brought you into this world, I can take you out.

If a parent said that today, CPS and SWAT would be on their doorstep within the hour.
