I confess that I'm apparently a crazy person.

Oh, wait, I have an actual cofession that doesn't involve sugar...oh wait, crap it does involve sugar. But it also involves incredibly irresponsible juvenile behavior as well!

Halloween, I was about 14. I went with a friend to his friend's place to trick-or-treat. I was told that everyone would be dressing the same...in all black with hockey masks. Oh, and that if I could bring some sort of weapon, that'd be good. I have NO idea why I agreed that this was a good idea. And I have NO idea how I managed to get my dad's antique 3 foot machette out of the house undetected. But I did.

So I spent the night semi-terrorizing a neighborhood. As I remember, there was the machette, nunchucks, at least one sword, definitely a few large sticks, and a couple pelet guns. Fortunately, none of the weapons were ever used. We did, however, smash our share of pumpkins and intimidate a good number of kids and parents (how could 10 guys dressed in all black and hockey masks carrying various and sundry weapons not).

The cops were called on us that night. How do I know? Well, one of the people's brother happened to be in police acadamy, so he had a police scanner. So we knew they were looking for us, and we knew where and exactly what they were looking for. So when we heard "a group of 10 males, wearing all black and hockey masks", we simply split up, took off the masks, and changed shirts. Voila. At one point, we were actually chased down by a car that we were sure was a homeowner that saw us smashing their pumpkin. Turned out it was the guy with the police scanner screwing with us.

The night ended with us pissing off the entire neigborhood by setting off an M-80 in the middle of the street.

By far the most irresponsible thing I've ever done.

Oooh, we used to buy m80's at the reservation and blow up watermelons! Great fun.

We blew up a mailbox with an M-80 once. We did this at about midnight and it was quite successful, sending the mailbox clear across the street. I didn't plant the device but did supply the cigarette to use as a makeshift timer. I would imagine this is some kind of federal offense but I'm hoping that, since it was about 24 years ago, the statute of limitations has expired. Nowdays, it would probably be considered an act of terrorism.
