Hold My Beer
Hold My Beer Famous last words...hold my beer! LOL We've all seen them. People doing stupid things, with not so surprising outcomes. And we love to laugh at their misfortunes. Truth is, I laugh, because in my youth that probably would have been me. I was talking with my and neighbor yesterday and this topic came up. And of course, all the stupid things we did as . I was proud to acknowledge that my oldest , wasn't near as brain dead as I was as a . As a I was always the one in the crowd that would try anything. Jumping off a 40 to 50 foot railroad bridge into 8 feet of water. Anything even remotely possible on a BMX bike or a dirt bike. Hell, they even convinced me I should try to ride a bull once, at a amateur rodeo. LOL, that was not a great idea. I brought up two that we talked about, and yeah laughed about, that I did as a . First one was out camping with friends. We were drunk, just a given on one of our camping trips, and out walking along some cliffs. One of the girls hat blew off and landed in some scrub brush, hanging off the cliff. Two of my buddies tried with sticks to retrieve it, but it was caught pretty good. I still remember my exact words, "get out of the way, I'll get it". Yeah, leaned too far out and whoosh, I'm gone. Fell off a 40 ft cliff. Only thing that saved me was a small tree growing out of the cliff on the way down. I grab a branch as I went flying past, and it slowed me down enough to only fall another 10 feet or so. Little cut up and bruised, nothing broken, we just met back up at camp and laughed. And of course drank more beer. Next morning my right side shoulder and chest was black and blue. Probably a bunch of torn muscles, but never went and had it checked. The other was my Evil Knievel imitation. We had a creek by the house, with lots of trails. Lots of great motocross trails, jumps, berms. Someone mention trying to jump the creek. Problem was, the side we were on was about 5 feet lower than the landing side. No problem..lets just take that board over there, prop it up with some rocks and make a ramp!!!. Great thinking!! Of course, now that the moment was here, everyone starts having second thoughts. So, of course, I jump in with, "I'll do it". We figured I'd need some speed, so I head back a bit and take off on my YZ125. I hit the ramp in 4th, probably doing over 45 and fly...straight into the cliff on the other side. Me and the bike just stop, then fall down into the creek. I don't remember hitting, don't remember falling or getting up, but apparently I did. When I stood up, my friends were clearly concerned. You could tell how they were all rolling on the ground laughing. After a bit, they came and helped me pull my bike out of the creek. Pushing it home, one of my friends says, "dude, you're insane". Hell, he probably wasn't far off. We're you a "Hold my Beer" kind of ? And trust me ladies, I bet a few of you had some poor decision moments too.

I really really hope that I have grown wiser but sometimes I doubt it.....after all I blog here! When I was young....I was going to change the world and nothing was going to stop me. I mitched off school with some friends to go on the Aldermaston March. This involved an 8 hour boat trip from my island home and hitching to London. I was lucky not to be expelled from school and even luckier to be alive after I got home to my Dad and older brothers. I don't think I have done anything as crazy again though my second marriage might come a close second. ~~Anais Nin~~

I was not a physical Dare-Devil and I don't think a wine chugging contest counts, especially since I was pressed into service. (though I did win) There have been other non-dangerous times where the words "BJ will do it" were heard. I really needed to learn to run away faster! Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

It's funny how we made it through the teens. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Never did any of the daredevil stunts, but I've been down the highway at over 100 mph on my motorcycle more than once. Also a couple of trips on the highway at about 120 mph in the hot rod. Managed to not get hurt. Riding horses damned sure proved to be hard on me though. Got thrown and broke my back and some ribs. Ouch...

Yeah..I hate to throw gas on the fire..but my mom knows about 2 % of all the crazy stuff we did as teenagers. LOL. Might be the same over there. And I think it's fair to blame the dad. I can think of one time the ex wife was giving me hell, cause I took the then little bitty sons rock climbing. hahaha " I refuse to belong to any organization that would accept me as a member" Groucho Marx

Well just for the record..with my well known aversion to cold, the jumping into Lake Michigan has me beat. LOL All those others are great Hold my Beer moments. They don't have to be life threatening. And you know, I could see how Kosar would deserve stuff dumped on his head. " I refuse to belong to any organization that would accept me as a member" Groucho Marx

Quad's are not as "safe" as people think. I've heard and seen quite a few quad and tri's accidents. And hey, you lived through it, so you are at least a little bad ass. " I refuse to belong to any organization that would accept me as a member" Groucho Marx

LOL...yeah that's what I'm talking about right there. I always rode Yamaha or Husky's , but a good friend was a Honda guy. Those power bands on the old Elsinore's where just a blast. Great sounding bike too. LOL " I refuse to belong to any organization that would accept me as a member" Groucho Marx
