I remember going to the first fast n furious at the theater. Ice storm during the movie so everything was covered in ice after, had to chisel around the door just to open it. But that didn’t kill the racing spirit in some of them. They got in their cars and tore out of the parking lot. 2 slammed into trees on their way out. Another didn’t get far, jackknifed himself on a light pole. I just sat in my car watching it, way better than the movie.

I broke smth in my ring finger bc I punched walls as a kid hoping to break it the way they did in spy kids. We make brick houses here. Was reminded of this after I saw a similar post on lemmy somewhere.

Sled down the stairs and out the front door like in Home Alone. My stairs didn’t perfectly line up so I hit the edge and went tumbling. luckily at 7 my bones were made of rubber and I only had bruises

When me and my younger brother were little, we were outside playing and digging in the snow with an old claw hammer from the barn. It must have been shortly after watching the classic Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

I got the bright idea to tell him to stick the claw of the hammer in the snow, then pull it out and lick it, just like Yukon Cornelius does, and maybe we could find gold.

Needless to say, tongue + ice cold metal hammer were quite the match and he was stuck instantly. Being as little as we were he panicked and ripped it off, along with a large thick chunk of tongue skin. Quite a bit of red snow that day…

I remember getting in trouble for that one. My parents definitely thought I tricked him on purpose, but I couldn’t have been more than 8 or so and definitely did not. I also remember that hammer sitting outside for the rest of the winter, with a chunk of tongue still frozen to it.

I can’t remember what movie it was, but we took the ball out of an old school computer mouse, the kind that’s a solid steel ball covered in rubber. Then we all sat in a circle, and hucked it at each other’s nuts. Hurt like a mother, and we each did it at least ten times, iirc, but that may just be me remembering it more extreme than it was, because it was horrid. Lol. We played many, many times during sleep overs and such. I think my balls we bruised for most of my 13th year. Lol.

When I was 3, I put a towel on like a cape and jumped off of some furniture thinking that I could fly. I hit my mouth on the corner of our coffee table and had to get stitches. I got to eat ice cream for a week, though!

I think I watched Superman or something rip his shirt open so I did it to my own PJs. I was only five so I could only rip them a little.

My brother, some friends, and I did a martial arts tournament like Mortal Kombat. Needless to say I won.

I was in collage when Fight Club came out. Of course a bunch of guys decided to make an underground Fight Club. I never went to one bc I am a women and therefore exculded from Manly Punching Time but, boy, oh boy did I witness the fallout.

It didn’t take long for poeple to realize that maybe a computer major shouldn’t be fist fighting a ex marine who was here on the GI bill. Or maybe accounting majors shouldn’t be trying to punch the six foot tall guy who does construction to afford his textbooks. Poeple had black eyes, knocked out teeth, concussions and face swelling. Turns out it’s hard to hide an underground fight ring where you hit each other in the face.

Luckily the Fight club disbanded before admin got involved, and before anybody got really hurt.

I went over a bike ramp when I was about eight or nine years old, pretending that I was bo duke from Dukes of Hazzard. I lost the bike. Instead of my sitting on the bike. I was spread eagle over the bike, the tires were pointing to my right the handlebars were under me. Laws of physics took over. I dropped on that bike really hard. Slightly caved in my chest.

Not me personally, but back in high school (in the late 20th century lol) a group of kids I went to school with got inspired by Dead Presidents to rob a bunch of banks. They got caught.

Imitating Pauly Shore in Encino Man during freshman year of high school. I was already a conventionally unattractive overweight nerd, so the affectation was not so much the final nail, but one of many in my social coffin.

I got better tho

Saw a girl on TV cut a big chunk her hair off and give it to her stalker. I wanted to be tough like her, so I cut off a chunk of my hair. Ended up with the Johnny Depp style Willy Wonka haircut. I hated it. I was like 7.

Not a movie, but I remember trying to do kamehameha when I was 8 years old or something after watching Dragon ball Z.

Paid full price for Avatar 2
