Ok, I'm officially stupid!

Well. . . since you asked. I almost gave myself a concussion last night!

I was walking around the plaza with my friends for one of their birthday's. And Chris (my friend) pointed at a stone pillar and said he'd give me twenty bucks if I could run up it and do a back flip off it. So. . . :roll: (Son't jump to conclusions yet. . .) I knew there was no way I could possible pull that off, so I decided I was gonna be funny and pretend to run and smack into it. . . I took off at a full run, and planned to bring my hand up in front of my head to keep me from hurting myself too bady (I can take pain if it's good for a laugh) But my hand just wasn't fast enough. And I smacked my head on that stone pillar so hard, you could hear a sickening *CRACK* I fell down, and almost blacked out. EVERYONE THERE THOUGHT I WAS JOKING!!! So they were just watching and laughing! Untill they saw that my eyes were slightly cross-eyed and dazed. I got to my feet popped a couple of ibuprofen, and survived.

After ALL of that. . . the only thing I wish I had done different, is I wish they had gotten it on VIDEO! I currently have a decent size bruise on the side of my face where it hit the stone (and broke the skin). I thought for sure I had fracured something!. . . My jaw still hurts like hell. But It'll heal. . . It wasn't one of my brightest moments. . . :lol: :roll:

Nope....honestly.

I did get into the extreme biking thing on TV the other day, but I'm not a "jackass" fan.

hahaha.....ohhh man thats hilarious....i couldn't being to tell u how many times i've done that.

here's one:

one day i went to Bayfair to do some xmas shopping and see a movie......i go and take the transit train (BART) and got to my destination w/ no problems......other than the fact it was raining......as soon i get off the train.....i walk down the stairs at my normal fast rate so i can catch the movie in time.....then without realizing it i slipped on the stairs, butt first, and slid down about 6 or 7 steps......the end result of it was that i brusied my elbow pretty bad and got it all swollen......when i got up someone asked if i was ok and i just started laughing thinking "where's a camera when u need it."

There's just a fine. Send 3 jars of pickled herring to fluffy and we'll forget it ever happened.
