The discussion centers around sharing humorous and bizarre stories, with a focus on unusual incidents involving people and animals. One notable story involves a farmer who, after his cow ate cash, sent the cow's stomach to the US Mint to redeem the damaged currency, highlighting the absurdity of the situation. Other stories include individuals calling the police about stolen drugs and a mishap with illegal fireworks that resulted in a house fire. Participants also share personal anecdotes about reckless activities, such as riding dirt bikes at high speeds with eyes closed and past experiences at the El Mirage dry lake bed, where various stunts and land speed records were attempted. The conversation blends humor with a sense of nostalgia, reflecting on past adventures and the sometimes reckless nature of youth.

I have said many times that I shouldn't be alive. My wife says that as well but with a disturbing longing in her voice. :rolleyes:

So at that point did he give up?
That's the last I heard of him. He spent a long time in hospital after the explosion. There were very serious burns, a couple of broken limbs, and head trauma. He probably just gave up and figured that living was easier. :rolleyes:

You just reminded me of another story (that fortunately didn't make the news). It was my birthday and some girlfriends and I had a limo for the night. The limo had a sun roof, and well, the girls started to take off their bras and were waving them out the sun roof. Some guys in a jeep pulled up and took one bra. Though laughing quite hard, I of course have it documented with photos--where did I put those?

Hey, I've already developed my own visuals; I'm just looking for clarification on a couple of points. o:)
