Great Quotes! Low tolerance limits my drinking, but I heartily agree that sobriety is highly overrated

Consider low tolerance to be a blessing. Trust me you do not want to see some of my past bar tabs... This also limits my selection of drinks because I have to get stronger drinks... either that or go broke.

Aside from one time in college I can't think of a single time I was ever able to get drunk off of cheap beer. Just isn't doable... and believe me, I tried.

When I act as bartender people also always complain that their drink is too strong

In college on my birthday, pizza and many Pete's Wicked Ale's were consumed. I prayed to the Porcelain Goddess that night!

To this day I can't stand the taste of PWA. Used to love it

Classic conditioned taste aversion. All you have to do is get drunk on it again, but this time stop before you get to the :barf: level.

We all have moments we'd rather forget.

Here's one I'm not particularly proud of... guess I never outgrew playing with magnets.

I was I think five (it was a while back )

It's my birthday... got a few presents. Among them one of those magnetic spin wheel toys. Loved it So in a moment of inspiration I decide electricity makes things work right, why not make the wheel spin by itself!

Stuck the two pronged ends into an outlet. :shhh:

Truth be told I'm not 100% exactly sure what happened next, but next thing I do remember clearly, I'm on my back, my parents, and others are looking at me very upset, and I'm in a bit of pain.

And that folks, is how I learned to have a very healthy respect for electricity and not sticking things that don't belong into an outlet

 

[Lazerbeak]

OK, I'll admit... I've done something similar. It was for science and I was in middle school. Wrapped copper wire around a metal pipe and than plugged all that into the wall. I wanted to make a spinning magnet as well for a science experiment, AC. Not enough resistance apparently and it all exploded in my face in a puff of smoke Did get it to work in the end, more wire and a cardboard tube.

Almost set the garage on fire too when I was about 5 or 6 but that was the neighbor's idea. Not my fault :angel:

I learned, at about 10, that if you are going to strip back an electrical wire, you should pull it out of the socket first.

I blew a big chuck out of the knife and peppered my face with sparklers

Luckily only one got into my eye and it was at the side of my eye

Peace,
dave

Lucky! Been lucky many times myself. Luckily I haven't won a Darwin Award yet

I'm glad to see I'm in good company.

When was 8 I was disappointed by the little firecrackers I had, basically your regular little chinese firecrackers that sound kind of like a gunshot. I mean there were lound, but I was young, and I wanted MOAR!

So I cut apart 50 of the little things. Scraped out the stuff inside... packed the stuff up back together as tightly as I could into a large matchbox. Used a few of the fuses tied together as a longer fuse.

Set it off after school, in an unused stairwell. I was ~40-50 feet away, and above it.

Well. It exploded.

BIG FREAKING MISTAKE DOING IT INDOORS. Nearby window broke, and my ears were ringing for a LONG time after....
