What's the most extreme thing you've done on a bet?
Or a dare...?

Once my best friend and I bet which of us could go the longest without bathing...We were little street urchin-looking punk rock kids at the time, torn clothes, ghastly make-up, hair going every direction...so it wasn't like it was easy to tell if we'd bathed in the last year or so anyway. :D

The original bet was no bathing, no teeth brushing, no hygiene of any nature. Oh, and no doing laundry. After about 3 days we were both like "Dude...I HAVE to brush my teeth..." so that was out. As we got grubbier and grubbier, we got more and more irritable. About a week in, when we'd stopped at least having clean clothes to wear, we were really starting to smell funny. x( Then the day came where she had to a) meet her grandparents in from out of town for lunch, and b) get her license renewed. I was sure she'd crack, but no...she went to the luncheon (much to her grandparents' dismay; they actually asked her to leave as soon as they were finished :D) and she got her new license pic taken looking like she'd dumped a tub of lard over her head. :D

I'm not even sure how/why it finally ended after 2 solid weeks; I do remember I broke down first, but then later she admitted she'd taken a *hobo bath* (washcloth, just hitting the important parts) a few days earlier. :grr:

Man! That's grody, innit? :D

Right, now I've humiliated myself for the good of this thread...your turn, and don't hold back! ;)

2. For $10 I stood on a bar stool and sang "Five Golden Rings" with...
...a tenor falsetto.

Mind you it was 4th of July weekend and the bar stool was somewhat unstable since it was on a beach in OCMD. The bar was packed and I got the $10, a standing ovation and several free drinks afterwards

3. Ate dog biscuits, worms, grubs
Pissed in an empty soda can and threw it at Fred Durst(Bizkit was playing a bill with some other bands way before they got big).

Had sex with 3 different women in a 24 hour period.

Shoved a safety pin thru my ear.

Let loose a really loud fart at a Powerpoint presentation.

Ate 5 plates of spaghetti.

Drank a six pack in under 10 minutes.

Yelled "_____ and destroy"(like the old skater slogan "skate and destroy") to everyone I came across- "walk and destroy!", "prune and destroy!", "sunbathe and destroy!", you get the picture.


I'm not a betting man, but I don't bluff and will do most reasonable dares. No suggestions, please, dares are only good on "spur of the moment".

4. Ran up on stage and saluted in an Army movie theater
Edited on Wed May-26-04 08:58 AM by underpants
Okay it might not sound that extreme but this was in "the field" while we were in the chicken houses at Hohenfel. We were going to see "Ricochet" (Denzel and Jon Lithgow) and a fellow soldier made the bet with me. We weren't "sober" which added to my nerve and to the possible repercussions if caught.

The lights went down in the theater that sat about 1,000 and I rushed down the aisle-lept/hip slid onto the stage-bolted up and saluted while the National Anthem was playing. I didn't mean any disrespect to the Anthem but it was sort of a FU to the Army.

As soon as it was over I jumped off the stage (the size of a high school ampitheatre stage) and blended into the crowd. Some fellow soldiers in my platoon KNEW it had to be me and the next night we went to see "Bugsy" in a theatre on the main base and they didn't play the Anthem, first and last time I ever saw that occur in an Army movie theatre.

No one could tell how much I was shaking, I was scared (paranoid) of getting caught.

8. I had a great uncle who bit the head off a rat for $5. Of course that was
during the Great Depression, when $5 was a lot of money. But I still couldn't have done it. He was nuts.

12. I was young. I had caught a ride home from a bar with a bunch of guys I
didn't know well. The ride ended up out at a sink hole somewhere outside Tallahassee.

They were drunk and decided they all wanted to have sex with me, which I was not in agreement with, of course. There was one ringleader kinda guy, and the rest were kind of along for the ride, so to speak. They weren't particularly bright fellows, as you'll soon see.

They weren't being forceful at all. It was actually a long discussion, wherein, I played the trump card. I had my period. Well that was THAT for them, NO WAY were they going to have sex with me with my period. BUT I HAD TO PROVE IT.

So I made them a bet. I bet them that they would have pay me 5 lbs of pot if I proved I had my period.

So there in the dark at 3:30 am, I dropped trou and removed my female device and dangled it for them all to see. They were properly grossed out, if not a little fascinated. (rednecks, I tell ya...)

Then, I made them drive me to a convenience store and buy more more tampons AND made them drive to get the pot. Then they dropped me off at my house.

I sold that pot all summer long a baggie at a time.

30. Oh, and the time I drank all the water from my Bong
I'm glad I didn't have to keep it down to win the bet.

The grossest thing I think I've ever seen (that didn't involve death or injury) was in bootcamp, where a soldier got busted with a Pepsi can in his locker that he used to spit his dip.

The Drill Sarge made him drink the whole damn thing. Then he puked it, and then he had to clean up the puke. Revolting.

14. I drank a cup of drain sludge for 10 dollars.
It smelled like paint thinner, but went down more like iced tea. It was all full of coffee grinds and stuff. It was worth it.

18. Not terribly extreme, but I was in a sushi bar and the chef had a
baseball size wad of wasabi in his hand. One of my friends bet 100$ that I couldn't take a one inched bite out of the baseball....I did....got the hundred bucks, cleared my sinuses, my tear ducts and my intestines almost immediately. :nuke:

24. Ran away from boarding school
with my younger sister. We took the city bus thinking it would take us home about 40 miles away. We were taken to the bus depot and the school director came and picked us up in time for dinner. We were not punished; they were very surprised we would do such a thing. For a few weeks we were the heros and then our older brother told our dad and I got yelled at, being the elder sister by a year. so I should've know better, etc.

26. Jumped off a second-story balcony into a swimming pool.
It was a **long** time ago, so there was the stupidity factor, and, at the time, I had been smoking and drinking, so there was also the fry-factor.

There were two risky aspects to this stunt, in retrospect -- 1) I had to get out far enough on my leap to clear the cement deck and hit the pool; 2) I'm 6'5", so you don't have to be Einstein to figure what's going to happen then I hit the 10' deep end at a good clip.

Fortunately, I lived to tell about it, with all limbs intact. But I wouldn't do it again!

28. The only one that's printable
was the one I did for my high school graduation ceremony. I need to scan the picture in to post it for proof, but basically I did a striptease as I came down the aisle with my diploma...I unzipped my graduation gown and had very little on underneath it. There was a huge gasp from the assembled crowd, cheering from a fair-sized segment of the population, and over all 1000+ people, I could hear my mother's laugh. She thought it was hilarious. (I didn't reveal anything beyond a bathing suit.)

My other exploits on dares are CENSORED BY MODERATOR. Or would be, if I posted 'em.

31. Spin an O-1A Bird-dog from 11,000 feet to 500 feet.
And then fly under a bridge. We did it in a flight of twelve. I was lead. Crazy, man.
