  What's the most nonsensical, illogical and completely enjoyable thing you've ever done?

Meaning a random act (or acts, if you're that lucky) where you've consciously behaved without a shred of practicality and had such fun that you've never regretted it. *smile*

This can range from running your fingernails down a chalkboard after a two hundred dollar manicure to quitting second year Law to transfer to a clown college...

Back in the day when I could still drive I took a spur-of-the-moment drive down to the Oregon Coast with my son who was about 2 years old. We had a great time, but my son was so tired that he slept all the way back home.

Once after doing acid and drinking for three days (without sleeping), I became one of those street screamers. I was walking down the sidewalk yelling non sequiturs at the top of my lungs: "PURPLE CARROTS OF JESUS FUDGEED THE POPE!!!" I was perfectly aware that this was insane behavior, but I also thought it was absolutely the most fun in the world.

I guess I'm very predictable.*frown*
I can't remember doing anything really illogical.I took off my shoes and walked barefoot in the middle of the city.It was hot,so it was perfectly logical.My friends stared at me,but it wasn't a big thing.I sometimes have ideas of doing things like taking off cocktails glasses from people who sits drinking outdoors.But I don't.Really I guess I'm too predictable and boring.I do *say* crazy things and I do *think* crazy thing but I don't *do" crazy things.

This is very similar to something I can actually do.*smile*
I was thinking they wanted us to describe something really extreme.But this sounds okay to me.Maybe I'm not predictable.Maybe I'm mad. *surprise*

Perhaps you can do it, but I don't necessarily recommend it. You don't think this is extreme?
dora
(reply to Zang) posted 4-Aug-2002 7:38pm  

No.
I mean if I was drunk I could.It's funny anyway.I could never do things like doing crazy dances and smashing my own kitchen chairs on time with the music.I've seen people doing that.I wouldn't.For me this is pretty extreme.I guess that the idea of what is extreme changes from person to person,but I wouldn't smash chairs. *smile*

I wish I could be the kind of person that when asked 'what's the most nonsensical, illogical and completely enjoyable thing you've ever done?' could reply

'live'.

Is tangling telephones wires in a booth a nonsensical,illogical and completely enjoyable act?
I did that.I pity the poor people who had to untangle it. *frown* .But I had fun,and nothing (not me nor the phone) was harmed.*smile*
Now...that I remember things I did when I was drunk...some little illogical things come to mind...hmmm...

Lots of things, but none that I care to share at this time. I'm sure you all already think I'm nuts. Telling my "secrets" wouldn't help me out any. Let's just say that back when I was on drugs and drinking heavy I did lots of crazy things.

Spent every last cent to my name when revisiting Las Vegas about twelve years ago, with two friends. Came back to L.A., to 1) a bounced rent check and 2) no beer in the fridge. Back then, those were the two priorities in my life, but not necessarily in in that order.

Yesterday I threw a fam tractor into high gear and went barreling down a rocky, bumpy farm path. The tractor was bucking so hard that I had to stand at the controls, and I was constantly cranking the steering wheel around to fight the tractor's urge to fling itself off of the path. I probably could have killed myself, but holy crap--I wanna do it again *smile*

I don't really do things without a shred of practicality. People seem to think that everyone with inhibitions wants to break loose a lot of the time. I like inhibitions, they keep me safe and happy.

Yes.The story I told you involved me and my friends smashing dishes and the hosts smashing chairs.Now you must admit that smashing a dish is VERY different than smashing a chair.Not "a chair",every chair they had in the house.Smashing a chair is much more choreographic too,especially if you are a 6ft3 German yelling like a furious viking when you do.

I was drunk and on diet pills so it was more funny than scary.Then the whole thing degenerated when the two vikings tried to "seduce" a friend of mine,her boyfriend and me all at once.We basically ran off of their house.

I wasn't worried about the axles--I don't think there was an inch of the tractor that wasn't cast iron or heavy guage steel. And I was definitely hoppin'!

Ha! We used to do "donuts" in the mud, in Texas. I once was doing that with my sister's Firebird, until the car suddenly dipped into the mud, and stopped. When we got out, I looked at the way the car was lopsided in the mud and I was certain I had destroyed the front axle.
My friends were freaking out at how much I was freaking out. (I had just ruined my own car by driving it at 90 mph while the dummy light warned I needed oil - pushed a hole right through the main engine block!)
When we got it out of the mud, I finally composed myself when we all realized that I had done no damage other than pushing some of the fiberglass from underneath a ways into the radiator fan - no problem.
So...off we went - doin' donuts again, like nothing ever happened! Haha!

I have done weird things while drunk. But I always have regrets. I did a thing similar to Zang's one but I was wearing fishnet stockings at the time as we'd just come from a Rocky Horror Screening and I was mightly pissed. I ran around screaming something about having been fudgeed by the devil and then inviting people to do the same.

Quitting a job that I hated. I needed the money, but was treated like dirt there. It was at a graphic design firm and I was given zero respect. The designers made between 60 and 80 bucks and hour and had tons of perks. I was making 7 bucks an hour and had no benefits or anything. Everyone in the company (except me) was treated to a weekend at a local resort for them and their mate and given a bonus. The owner actually wanted me to work that weekend while they were all away. I didn't. Then he wanted me to do menial tasks like put their dishes in the dishwasher and clean up after them. I was hired for bookkeeping, not housekeeping. The owner had tons of money and was completely arrogant.

I was the bookkeeping assistant and the bookkeeper had to have a hysterectomy so I was going to take over while she was gone. However, she took EVERYTHING home with her. I didn't have any of the records or info to work with. So when I received a bill for the owner's horses' food, I paid it. Well, the bookkeeper went nuts and started screaming at me over the phone because she said she'd already paid it. How was I to know? She took all the stuff home with her. I didn't want his horses to starve, so I paid the bill. I hung up on her when she started screaming, so she called back. She asked if I hung up or if we were disconnected. I told her that I hung up and that if she started screaming at me like I was her husband or her daughter again, that I was going to hang up again. She did. So I hung up and quit.

I took care of all the last minute stuff and told the owner's wife what was needed for the company as far as bookkeeping and financial info, so they wouldn't be completely screwed, but then I left.

As I walked out to the parking lot, I broke into a smile and it felt like a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders. I knew then that I had done the right thing.

Great story! Nothing must feel as good as how it felt in that moment of your life.
I know I wanted to do that a few times with my old boss - in fact, I can't believe the things I tolerated when I look back now. I was only lucky he had to leave - your way out of the situation sounds much more gratifying!
