You should post how old you were when you did it.

Here I go:

Eating dog food ( age 1 to 8 )

Actually, it was good. I might try it again some time.

Note: At first, it showed (age 1 to Cool

I used to swing as high as possible on the swingset and do a backflip off of it in an attempt to fling myself in as high and far an arc as possible, possibly out of the gravel pit.

I would never attempt something so insane these days.

Also, ages one to COOL. Being 8 years old is really cool according to our smilies!

I played baseball 'til I was eight instead of hockey.

When I was 6, I saw the eye of the stove was red as can be but the light for that corresponding eye wasn't turned on. So I put my index finger right on the eye and promptly screamed my ass off while my mom put it under lots of cold water. My finger was brownish-grey where it made contact.

I put my hand against a T-Shirt press when I was a kid. Had big bubbles on the backs of three of my fingers for a few days. But I still wanted to play Super C, so I had one hand in a pitch of ice water and tried to play NES with my left hand only.

I suck at one-handed Super C.

I touched a stove too, when I was 4.

Fortunately, it was not a very good one, so my right index and middle finger didn't burn much.
It took about a week before it stopped being painful, which is not long for a stove burn.

I touched a car cigarette light and burned my thumb once. I remember thinking, how the fuck does this light cigarettes? Then I touced it and burned my finger. If I hadn't pulled it out before it got red hot, I probably would have figured it out.

During English class, me and my friends had a contest to see who could hurt themselves the worst with our English books. I won. Cool

I put a peanut butter sandwich in the VCR (and pushed play) when I was 3 or 4. Anyone remember that old skit on Sesame Street where the magician's magic words were "a-la-peanut-butter-sandwhiches!" ? Yeah, that was why I did it.

When I was 1, I ate flies. LOTS of flies. At least 10 a day.
Our windows were full of them, so it was really easy to catch them.

I used to hate waffles (which is odd because I now loved them) so whenever I got them I would throw it behind the big ol'fashion freezer we had and go play games. Well this plan was indeed, flawless...untill we moved.

*grunt* *grunt* "Finnaly...it's moved...What the **** is all this?"

I used to climb the trees in my yard and touch the power lines. I'm lucky I'm still here.
