Stupid Things You Do As A Young Man

[12]

I once bought a pair of $200 sunglasses. They were great at first, but I soon realized they scratched, broke and were lost just like the $20 Wal-Mart shades.

[BlondeSoonerGirl]

Whoo-boy, you sure were stupid.

[Vaevictis]

I went to UT for a semester. That's gotta be near the top.

[Viking Kitten]

You paid $20 for Wal Mart sunglasses. Dude. You got ripped off.

[yermom]

you get what you pay for ;)

[slickdawg]

You paid $20 for Wal Mart sunglasses. Dude. You got ripped off.

Can't argue with that.

[12]

I bought countless CDs when the switch from cassette tapes to CD was all the rage.

I now have a closet full of CDs that I will likely never listen to again.

[Boomer.....]

That's dirty. Hook 'em

[12]

I once thought reading comprehension was something most SF.com posters were capable of.

I once thought reading comprehension was something most SF.com posters were capable of.

So you're still stupid?

Are you still young, too?

[12]

[Cack]

whoa BIG misstake

[stoops the eternal pimp]

I bought and lost several pair of oakleys....

one of the dumber things was going to muskogee to watch the beavis and butthead do america movie.....being very drunk and getting out of the car at the wendys drive thru(with people and cars in line) and ****in on the trunk of this dudes car....

[12]

I once saw Dio in concert.

[12]

And liked it.

[SoonerBorn68]

A friend & I walked through the Taco Bell Drive Thru at about 2am and made car noises

Yeah we were drunk...and they wouldn't serve us. :mad:

[crawfish]

I don't even know where to begin.

I have met hundreds of people who have lost nice sunglasses but I have yet to meet anyone who has found nice sunglasses. There is some dude out there swimming in nice sunglasses.

[Taxman71]

1. Trenching peoples' front yards
2. Not realizing that virtually everything under age 23 is hittable.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Usually the guy who "found them" was looking for them when he "found them" probably sold em at 20 bucks and went and got his meth fix

[slickdawg]

Slickwife's uncle has a great saying:

The dumbest creature on this planet is a teenage male.

[Taxman71]

I have met hundreds of people who have lost nice sunglasses but I have yet to meet anyone who has found nice sunglasses. There is some dude out there swimming in nice sunglasses.

I have had at least 6 pair of expensive sunglasses (over $100) and still own every pair. I have had triple that number in cheapos and now only own 1, but not sure where they are.

Of course, I never wear my nice ones in the lake, ocean or river.

[12]

I once told a girl I was from Australia. It was at a Jimmy Buffett concert in New Orleans.

To this day, I can't remember why I thought Australia was a good locale to choose.

I didn't even fake an accent.

:(

[handcrafted]

Getting credit cards and buying a new car were right up there. "Stupid tax", as Dave Ramsey says.

[King Crimson]

thinking that Smash Hits was the best (only) Jimi Hendrix record.

i was quickly cured by Axis: Bold as Love.

[Taxman71]

Racing down I-35 at midnight with a bottle of Cuervo Gold in your lap thinking you won't get caught.

[12]

I remember thinking the NFL was a good back-up plan if things didn't work out in college.

[12]

I played for SWOSU.

[royalfan5]

1. Playing Dukes of Hazzard with my 1979 Cutlass Supreme. (Olds built the **** out of that car)
2. Mixing booze and triple jumping
3. Roadtripping to Panama, Nebraska while listening to Panama on repeat while drinking cheap champange
4. Drinking an entire of the big jugs of Carlo Rossi wine
5. Mixing wine and whiskey
6. Turning down physical pleasure in a Barnes and Nobel Parking lot (In hindsight I was probably to drunk to experience the pleasure anyway)
7. My entire senior year of college
8. Going to Law school

[1stTimeCaller]

I put two 12" speakers in the trunk of my '80 Cutlass Supreme. I thought I was cool bumpin' my country music...

[12]

I remember thinking the NFL was a good back-up plan if things didn't work out in college.

Oh, and I'm slow.

I am also white as an old white thing.

[Mjcpr]

3. Roadtripping to Panama, Nebraska while listening to Panama on repeat while drinking cheap champange

Finally, we know where David Lee Roth was singing about.

[HoserSooner]

I once got my dad's car stuck in a snowdrift trying to nail my girlfriend.

Nothing more romantic that doing it in the back of a Chrysler K-Car station wagon in -20 temperatures.

Man my dad was ****ed at me.

[Mjcpr]

I once got my dad's car stuck in a snowdrift trying to nail my girlfriend.

It's almost impossible to hit a moving target in a car in the snow.

[HoserSooner]

It's almost impossible to hit a moving target in a car in the snow.

And even more impossible to come up with a good story to cover your ***.
:O

i ain't EVEN going down that route of confession on here....

i did have a 1981 Cutlass--so that put's me, you and 1st time is a select group.

I once drove from my girlfriend's parent's driveway to my parent's driveway in under 10 minutes.

She lived 16 miles away.

'78 Cutlass beyonces!!!!!!!!!

:D

[royalfan5]

The best part about my Cutlass was the granny hubcaps that were kicked in and the fact that it was **** brown inside and out. That and the raw power of the 260 cubic inch V-8. I don't think it is possible to blow up a 260 after all the things I did to it. Plus the car got classier when I had to cut the headliner out because it kept falling down.

That was just the stuff I could come up with off the top of my head.

[SoonerInKCMO]

No Cutlass here - but I did have the same thing as built by Pontiac - '78 Grand Prix. With a Maaco $199 special. Great car until it blew that head gasket in '89.

[1stTimeCaller]

Mine was white with the brown top over the back seat and has brown courduory interior.

That 260 V8 might be the best motor ever made. Best damned car a for teenager.

[12]

Any car with corduroy wins the contest.

My '78 was the exact same color scheme. I drove it all the way through college, including some long-*** road trips. The thing got terrible gas mileage, though.

[BlondeSoonerGirl]

Mine had a 350 Rocket.


This is where my career in speeding began...

[Flagstaffsooner]

2 pages and not a 1 of you stupids said "getting married ":)Rules of life...
Never say "Will you marry me?'
Be careful about when, where and how often you take things out of your pants (applies to your weenie and credit cards).

[IB4OU2]

True story, I hitched hiked from Nashville to Fayetteville Arkansas one time. The last guy to pick me up was high on speed and driving a chickentruck up Hwy 71 which at the time was a very dangerous highway.

I WAS YOUNG and STUPID.

I once publicly ate a handful of dry cat food at a keg party.

[1stTimeCaller]

I took a shot of Everclear once.

[12]

I won the cat food eating competition, so yeah, I suppose it was good.

[King Crimson]

the power steering was out of this world. you could take a pretzel shaped turn on a buffalo nickel with one hand.

i ain't doubting you for a second.....

[1stTimeCaller]

no doubt, it helped that the steering wheel had a diameter of about 20 inches

[Hamhock]

I took a shot of Everclear once.


from the bottle, after being told it was rum...

[crawfish]

You're scared of the avatar, aren't you, pat?

:D

[Osce0la]

Driving around drunk, underage, with more beer in the car, smashing mailboxes, getting more rocks and going down the same road smashing more mailboxes, then repeating this process for about 30 minutes before leaving for another neighborhood and doing the same thing...











how did I not get arrested?

[ousoonerfan]

Wow! I had an '80 Cutlass all white with T-tops. Still my best car EVAR. This relates because I had that car while in high school. Me and a buddy were at my girlfriends house while I was "trying" to hit it with her, I let my buddy drive it to McDonald's. Another buddy of mine came back and told me that my friend had just wrecked my car. I got to the scene and he had hydroplaned down a hill into a house. Totalled a bedroom in the house, shrunk my Cutlass about 3 feet. The good news is no one got hurt. Man, I miss that car.

my ride in the day was 70 chevell, 350, muncie 4 speed, pretty quick..

[proud gonzo]

I can honestly say I have never done anything stupid as a young man.

[XingTheRubicon]

A buddy of mine had a can't miss bet on OU/Pitt in 1990. We had both just graduated from Tulane and he had $2000 (grad gift from his grandparents that he got back in May) and he was looking to double it. He decided a road trip to a sports book was warranted at this point. We rounded up the essentials (money, 3 cases of Bud, toothbrushes, and his bag phone) and headed up West Esplinade.

Then, btw this was MY car, he said WAIT... What? I said. Are we going to Vegas or Atlantic City? I don't know, they're both about a million miles from here. We both rode in silence for a few minutes and then I piped up. "Well, I've already been to Vegas, I wouldn't mind checking out the boardwalk."
"WTF is the boardwalk" he said. Nevermind, I don't even know how to get to either one, anyway.

"That doesn't matter, (Trace interrupting) get us to Memphis and we'll ask Elvis where the **** Atlantic City is." I peered out of the corner of my eye at Trace guzzling his 3rd Bud in about 11 minutes and realized that I would be driving for the rest of this fine Thursday evening.

So we get to Memphis and ask the guy at the gas station for directions to AC and he shrugged his shoulders and said "f*ck if I know." So we asked another guy and he seemed to have the answers we were looking for...

"You go 476 miles east on I-40 and you take I-81 North and then 66 East to DC and so on" We drive thru Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville, Bristol Tn, Bristol VA, Roanoke, and on up I-95 to Jersey and then east to Atlantic City.

The place smelled like someone was rubbing a day old fish in your face. We didn't care, we were about to be rich. We walked into the Taj, late Friday night, smelling like beer and fish, and looked around.

After we were there about 10 minutes, I asked one of the pit bosses, "Hey man, where's the Sportsbook?" "We only do the ponies, here." he said

What? What do you mean? Which casino's have the sports books? Then the pit boss said, "Nevada is the only state in the U.S. that has legal sports books."

We both stared at each other for a considerable amount of time

[SCOUT]

I rode in a 1984 Jeep CJ-7 with 8 of my idiot friends. That's right, nine morons driving down the Dallas North Tollway hanging on to roll bars, seats etc.

Stupid Things You Do As A Young Man I was just thinking that there are waaay too many to talk about. Damn, I still do stupid things as an old man.

[Big Red Ron]

knocking up a girl with serious self esteem issues has haunted me since I was 19 but I do have a great kid.

Just remember, you young guys, eighteen years is a long time to deal with someone you never really liked in the first place.

[12]

Ron wins.

Ouch.

[WILBURJIM]

Moved a keg of beer around town in search of another party with women. Found a party with women, left in after 2 minutes. Damn lesbians.

[BoogercountySooner]

Got my first automatic transmission car came home one day left the car running. My Mom asked me to move it up a little so she could get by. I reached in the window and put the car in gear, we lived on top of a huge hill in NW Arkansas at the time. The car took off down the hill towards the tree line, me being the athlete that I was caught the car dove through the window and stopped it mere feet from the tree's. My family laughed for weeks after that!

76 GP here. Dad bought it for $500 and I sold it for $500 6.5 years later. Drove the **** outta that thing.
