I like the exchange between him and his opponent near the end.
Stupidest thing I’ve ever done (recently): left my car running and unlocked for nearly 1.5 hours in a not-so-safe part of Tulsa (outside my church). Not on purpose of course…but I was searching high and low in the sanctuary trying to find my keys. When I realizing where they were and having a minor heart attack, I bowed out quietly and didn’t let anyone know what I’d done…and thanked Jesus the whole drive home for not letting my car get stolen.
Almost as bad as that, I got horribly drunk and broke into a pet hotel with a friend, stole three small dogs, ran home with them (about a mile laughing so hard I couldn’t breathe, and covered in pee from one of them), realized we had just stolen dogs from people away on vacation, asked my roommate to return them the next day by tying them to a pole in the alley behind the shop and calling them, instead she went inside and gave them my name, then spent a month in jail for it (among other unmentioned stupid decisions I had made around that same time.
Best part of the story: standing in court and having my charges read out loud- in front of shackled men and women in orange jumpsuits. Second best part of the story: bringing that much joy and laughter to men and women who stood condemned on that day. “You stole puppies???” the judge questioned me.
And then I met Jesus and became a youth pastor. And then I got fired for caring about poor people. And now I need a job.
Jumped out of a moving car into a snow bank, then proceeded to fist fight my sister when she tried to get me back in the car. Stinkin’ drunk.
Now I am a sponsor.
Uh. Someone called me as I was getting out of my car at Tarzhay. I went into the store, walked around and shopped and forty-five minutes last went back out to my car. To find the keys in the ignition, the car running and the door wide open. Did I mention I was sleep deprived at the time? Or maybe it was the time I forgot to pay a ticket and put it in my pile of mail and a month later they PUT OUT A WARRANT FOR MY ARREST (a SAHM of disabled children who rarely leaves the house) for not paying the ticket. They gave me 48 hours to do so or else. Needless to say, it was paid in about five minutes. DUH. I’m too distracted for this driving thing, so I rarely do it.
Used to live in a neighborhood in Orlando where despite being single-family homes they had 3 sets of communal mailboxes like you’d see in an apartment complex. At home one Summer day I decide to walk down to check the mail….. barefoot.
Summer + asphalt/concrete + Florida = 2nd degree burns on the bottom of both feet!
Only upside was we got to sit at the Duran Duran show the next night at the House of Blues which is very limited seating.
This seems to be a common thing, but I, Too have left my keys in my car…with the car running.
More recently, at work, there is a door that you have to open using a key. We go in and out of this door only about a hundred times a day, but at least once a day, I turn the knob and try to open the door, smashing my shoulder against it.
I’m glad you didn’t do the same thing with your paddle tonight while playing ping pong. I wonder if Double 3 thought about it doing it it maybe would of help him. He sure needed the help.
Going to “The Happiest Place on Earth” on Christmas Day was pretty lame. Crowds of people who live 10 minutes away but haven’t been in 10 years, 20 mph winds, 45 degrees. I have to remember having a pass means I can go when all the other people in so cal aren’t being stupid like me.
Well, had a bit of a fit of rage a few months ago… rare occurance anymore but I just had one of those days where there are not just one idiot but 12 in every line, at every red light, the mail comes with all the right news… you get it… and in my frustration I kicked something hard… breaking my middle toe which to this day is STILL not healed up right. Yup. Self inflicted. *sigh*
for me, stupidity is more a routine than some random occurrence. one example would be that i typically cycle through atlanta on peachtree road…between the cars. it’s certainly faster than driving (as anyone from this town would know). downside? i get flicked-off alot! man, people are really mad these days.
Wear a Hamburglar suit at a local parade! Unfortunately, it wasn’t far enough from the city I lived. Everyone knew me. Everyone chanted. It was bad, bad, bad.
I DON’T NEED YOU TO BEAT ME, I CAN BEAT MYSELF!!!! HUAH!!!!
I’ve done a lot of dumb things, none of them involved a racket to my cranium. Ask my wife, she can probably name something; she’s probably keeping a list for insurance purposes.
When I was young boy(11) I filled up one of them frozen orange juice containers with water, making a huge ice cube. Once frozen I took a large sharp nice and tried to cut the side open to get the ice out. However, all I ended up doing was stabbing myself in the hand about an inch deep. I refused to get stitches because our family was going go-karting.
I ended up wrapping it in some cloth wrap and taping it up and still going go-karting. The after-viewing-effect was not pretty. However, I did have fun go-karting.
Toss up between locking my keys in my car WHILE IT WAS RUNNING and I was a mile from civilization, or …
Falling down the stairs and not going to the ER because a Spurs playoff game was about to start. Five days and one MRI later I learned my shoulder was broken and it was too late to do anything about it without surgery.
RAIN IT DOWN
“Don’t let him cut his ear off…”
hahaha

I can’t believe I just admitted that…
Oops…meant to say, “After realizing what I’d done…”
Sorry for the typos. =)
Bought a Dell…….
Watched an entire episode of MASH once.

wow. being a tennis player..that was the best video ever.
Was invited for dinner at the home of an Armenian family. After the coffee was served, I thanked the mom for the Turkish coffee!

Is this footage of Jeff after the ping pong match? I was wondering how he got that gash on his head…;-)

DEREK
I’m not feeling so bad about the keys in the ignition thing…good to know I’m not alone! haha =)
Please everyone…
…the next time you feel like “being free” and crab-walking downstairs to get more toilet paper…
…be sure your wife doesn’t have any company over!
Been there. (Unfortunately) Done that.
Wear a Hamburglar suit at a local parade! Unfortunately, it wasn’t far enough from the city I lived. Everyone knew me. Everyone chanted. It was bad, bad, bad.
I feel the need to add a caption please:

I forgot!! Before my hubby met me, he got angry with his girlfriend. After she drove off, he punched his house.
He now has pins and screws and other things in his hand that weren’t meant to be there.

The night I graduated from high school, I beat up a brick wall. And wound up in the ER.
