Along the lines of my previous post, "The Worst Thing You Ever Ate", I submit this knowing that Scotter, Mala Mujer, schipper, and brassduet will be laughing at me. Mine is not scooter related, just dumb male stuff.

One particular full moon night when I was in college, I happened to be at Sunset Cliffs (SD) overlooking the ocean. We thought it would be great to hike down to the water.

That particular night the grunion were "running". I thought it was cool because I've never seen a grunion before. The guys that were with me said that the grunion were edible. So we caught more than we could carry in our t-shirts. We hauled our catch back to the dorm and went out again.

This time hiking down, I miss judged the last step on the cliff. Needless to say, I fell 10ft off the cliff on to the wet sand on my hip. It felt like cement. Fortunately, I didn't break anything but I did hobble around and had to explain how it happened and what a grunion was for a few weeks.

BTW, the grunion tasted like s#!t when cooked. For those who don't know what grunion are: http://www.dfg.ca.gov/marine/grnindx3.asp

Dumbest thing I ever did: started an internet forum. "How hard could it be?" I asked myself.

ok, can I admit this - passed out on a street in Amsterdam after visiting a coffee shop, needless to say was robbed blind but it was 110% my fault/wasn't hurt or anything but felt like a dumb arse yankee explaining to the nice policeman that I was uh... I have since learned that you are only supposed to eat a few bites of the brownie and not the whole thing

TMI maybe, but wanted to share my stupid thing

I crushed a guys Larynx in self defense.
I crushed a guys Larynx in self defense. I coulden't get his airway back open while he was struggling for air. He ended up dieing as a result of his injurys. I should have hit him somewhere else. He pulled a knife on me and cut me, I was kinda pissed. I would say so far it's been the stupidest thing I have ever done.

Are you a person, like me, who is constantly embarrassing themselves?

I trip on non-existent cracks in sidewalk, keep losing my keys, and can't find my sunglasses when they're on my head.

Although I don't think it's dumb, I prepare for the next zombie outbreak. That doesn't make me dumb or paranoid, just dumb for posting it.

simple, childish thievery when i was in 9th grade (or was it 10th?)- i stole some CDs and N64 games right underneath a black dome camera. i thought to myself, "i bet they're not even looking". then i get caught and my parents had to pick me up from the police.

^that was pretty dumb, but only because i got caught. i've done worse

oh, there's plenty of that. then there's the really large-scale dumb stuff i used to get up to when i was younger, a lot of it involving automobiles moving at speed. thank f*ck i waited until i was older and more sensible to get a scooter.

I proved last week that driving the Mount Evans road in a car does not cure clinical acrophobia (fear of heights).
