Fired bottle rockets at a passing train carrying a bunch of chemicals.

Blew some other stuff up, like my cousin's sandbox. Boy, my uncle whooped our asses for that.

Best friend growing up's dad reloaded his own ammunition, so tons of gunpowder in the basement.

One day we found the gunpowder, found some fuse, and grabbed an empty peanut butter jar.

Taped it to a tree and lit the fuse. We didn't get nearly far enough away. Don't think I could hear for a few hours and was picking bits of wood out of my hair and clothes for awhile too.

My momma had just cooked some chicken pot pies on a baking tray, fresh out the oven. I had to wait forever because them shits were hot.

I was hungry and impatient and went to rest my chin on the counter just to have a glimpse at the pies, turns out I rested my chin on the piping hot baking tray. Hurt real bad. Still got those pies though.

Hung the Miss March centerfold on my wall when I was around 11 yrs. old.

The argument that it was my birthday month did not stand up in family court.

Friend and I put dry ice bombs in janitors closets at both ends of school. I dont know if you have ever heard one go off but in a small janitors closet with a steel door it is loud.

They evacuated the school and brought in the bomb squad and dogs. They never figured out where exactly the explosions occurred. The janitor probably later found the shredded plastic but was not be able to figure out it was the bomb. We kept our mouths shut.

Today with cameras and new laws we woukd be serving time.

Smuggled ecstacy pills in my sunscreen bottle to playa del carmen for vacation.... we all had a dozen each. Now any time I watch Locked Up Abroad I realize how dumb that was.... but man was it a fun vacation. Best ever.

Our senior year of high school, myself and a couple of buddies decided to put a catfish in the saltwater aquarium located in the school lobby. We went and caught catfish out of a pond for a few hours one afternoon. We decided to go with the biggest one (probably a 5 or 6 pounder). A girl in our class's mom was a teacher and she hooked us up with a key to the school. So around 10pm on a Thursday, we went and dropped that big mfer in the aquarium. Come Friday morning there was a big stir from the principal and teachers. The big arse catfish ate all the exotic fish and then died within about 8 hours. We thought the shite would just be funny seeing a big catfish swimming around the school aquarium. We didn't consider the loss of fish life... Nobody snitched and never heard anything else about it.

Walked the catwalks under the MS river bridge, climbed down a ladder on one of the pillars, and sat on the pedestal at water level

In high school, we used to jump off of a couple bridges into river. In hindsight, I never remember anyone ever checking to make sure debris or branches weren't hung up where we were going in. It was not uncommon for us to jump out of our trucks and jump one right after another over the side of the bridge.

In college, I had a snake, the older wiser me, can't fathom being around snakes. I would also try to mess with it at feeding time to make it more exciting.

16 years old and I was driving my car across the MS river bridge in Baton Rouge one night. I think it was the 4th of July. We had some of those little flash fireworks that when you lit them they flashed real brightly like a strobe light for a decent amount of time.

Our dumbasses decided it would be neat to light two of them in a plastic bottle so the car could flash while going across the bridge. Bottom of the bottle melted almost immediately and the damn things fell out onto the floor of the car. Melted the wires to my amp and almost caught the car on fire.

Bombed a house across the street with oranges after Tulane beat LSU in 1973 for the first time since1948.
LSU was already going to the Orange Bowl and these people were going to give us crap, so I figured, what the hell?
Hard to clean that stuff up Sunday morning.
