done and are willing to admit to? GG300 gave me this idea when I read about being fat, drunk and stupid. Made me think of some of the stupid things I've done in life. So, in keeping with the recent trend of opening ourselves up and all that....what is the most stupid, foolish, or embarrashing (sp?) thing that you have done?
For me....(gosh, so many.....) I got drunk at a grad school Halloween party once, and made out with a vampiress. Turns out later she was only 16, and the daughter of chairman for my department.
so what's your story??

I had just graduated from college and had a small coke problem. Not a habit, mind you, just a problem. What the hell, it was 1985.
Anyway, one night a friend of mine and I wanted some cocaine. So, instead of buying it like normal people, we decided to steal it. At the time my friend was "sleeping" with the girlfriend of a coke dealer. We drove into Detroit, broke into the coke dealer's house, found a big block of coke, shaved some off with a razor blade and took off. Just the thing two college-educated young men should be doing on a Friday night.
As soon as we left the house, we headed to our former college campus and partied all weekend. I can only imagine how our lives would have changed, or ended, if that guy would have caught us.
I've done other stupid things, but you asked for the stupidest. I think this qualifies.

I don't know if this is the stupidest or the coolest
Last spring our hockey team went to Grand Forks ND for hockey tournament and we went to the bar. A few of us were waiting for a cab and they told us it would be an hour or so. So one of our team mates, walks over to a car and starts talking to this guy and he waves us over and says this guy will give us a drive. I thought it was someone he knows, so 5 of us get in this car with this guy. He is a mexican guy, in a while old caddy. Me being one of the last guys getting to the car, get in the front seat beside this guy. Well, the cars rad is smoking, the engine light is on and this guys is smoking weed and asking if we want some. I start saying to myself, fuck I sat beside this guy. So we start driving and talking to this guy. We find out, a little ways into the ride, that he is on the run and the car is stolen. So he swerves down a side road and a couple guys say, where the fuck you going. He replies, there was cop that just went by. So he gets back on the main road and asks for his gum in the back seat. My step brother looks but can't find it, so he says look under the seat next to the gun. Well we all just stopped talking for a second and he gets his gum. We eventually get to the hotel and give him a couple bucks for gas. We find out the next night that he is supposedly on the run for murder.
My dumbest thing ever was trying to rappel down a cliff without the rope attached to me. Rookie mistake, you hate to see it. Good thing i caught the rope before tumbling 50ft to the ground.
Those free-solo rappels aren't the greatest thing for your life expentancy.

Just what we needed, 5 Canadian guys, 1/2 drunk, in a car with a mexican on the run for murder with a gun and pot in his possession. How do we explain that

I really don't appreciate you talking about my father like this....

This reminds me of every weekend from my 16th birthday until a year before I got married...between the happy hours (loonie night) and slo-pitch tourneys...I probably forgot most of the really embarassing nights.

Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable. -- Sidney J. Harris
I have too many, so I guess I'll go with two things that have happened to me in class this week.
1-- It's a history of journalism class (this is the setting for both) and we listened to "Start the fire(?)" by Billy Joel-- you know, the one that lists all the people and events. Anyway, we all got copies of the lyrics and were supposed to circle all of the things that we knew. So after the song is over, we play a little word significance/association game with the people and things. This is a 250ish person class, so the responses are loud and varied, and I am up near the top making snarky/mildly funny comments.
So we get to Liberace. As I am, I'm not thinking and just saying, rather loudly, the most stupid thing I come up with. Well, unlike most of the other people, no one really said anything about Liberace. So, I end up saying "GAY!" and everyone hears me and turns around and laughs.
2-- Same class, actually happened today. My class before it is in the same auditorium as well, and between classes I had to go take a piss. No big deal, I leave, go do my business, and come back. The seats are like normal auditorium or stadium seats, and the bottoms fold up vertically. Well, as I return to the auditorium (By this time people are filing in for the next class) I hop down the rows via seats instead of climbing over people.
Well, that didn't turn out so well, as I put my foot on the seat too close to the back of it, and the seat folds up and traps my foot in the middle. SO as I say "My foot is stuck" people start asking me if I am serious. Of course I'm freaking serious! So after almost falling over trying to yank it out, I decide to be smart and untie my shoe and pry my foot out of my shoe and then slide the shoe under the seat.
Yeah, I am brilliant.

Well, this is pretty stupid, and also one of the things I'm most ashamed of. I got sent to Korea right after AIT, I think it was 91...anyway, I was only 18. I slept with a married man. It didn't seem like a big deal at the time, because I didn't know anything about what it meant to be married. But I look back now, and let's just say it's not something I'm proud of.
Stupidest thing.. There has been a few.. Probally the stupidest..
Drank my face off, did a whole bunch of mushrooms and smoked to much weed. I was pretty messed up. Had sex with some random dirty girl.. no protection. Then the girl scares the crap outta me telling me shes pregnant. She wasnt. She then stalked me for a little while then broke into my appartment.... "to talk" (when she found out i was there...). So stupid. Those days are behind me now.
My stupidest moment was my last day of high school in New Orleans. I went to the French Quarter with a girl and drank myself into the worst state of drunkeness in my life. I threw up all over myself on a street car and shouted obnoxious remarks at people on the streets. The really stupid part is that I drove the girl and myself home, completely wasted and still vomiting all over myself and car. Perhaps even stupider is that I went on to drive drunk several more times in college.
I guess my stupid story really isn't all that dramatic, but drunk driving really was idiotic. I hope my girls are smarter than I was back at that age and it doesn't take them as long to learn that it is perfectly cool to have a designated driver in your group.
The prettiest girl in the world told me that she loved me but I was too stupid to realize what I had and dumped her for some skank whose name I don't even remember. That was 20 years ago and I regret it every single day.

Ditto on the drunk driving. Never got caught but deffinately did it too often. One time had like 4 mini-blackouts in a 1/4 mile. Not particuarly exciting but deffinately right up there on the list of "stupid things I've done."
1. tattoo
2. body piercings
3. drunk driving (times I did and didn't get caught)
4. theft
5. hanging out with some decidedly shady people and becoming one of them.
6. not respecting my mother enough
7. wasting 7 years after getting out of the Army.
There are a few. I even hate thinking about them, they bother me so much.
So what's the most stupid thing you've ever
