there are two types of people in this world, those that hate clowns, and clowns.
I would do something like this if I had the equipment to do so.
Interesting. I understand Einstein did something very similar.
New? Kiko Ledgard was doing it in the 70s!
(Peruvian TV personality, at the time the host of a game TV show in Spain: one day he went to work with mismatched socks due to Alice’s Rabbit Syndrome, someone remarked on it, he went and turned it into his trademark)
The “craziest” thing I did was go back to school to learn something I was actually interested in while working at a fabulously well-paying job with benefits that I doubt will ever be matched anywhere else.
Then I got stupid lost my job because I couldn’t figure out how to work in a cubicle without looking bored out of my mind.
I play goaltender in ice hockey.
So engaging in crazed insanity is a routine thing for me, that being said does doing something mundane count as breaking out of the routine and being crazy?
Yes. I know, I was there (we girls actually did the mismatched thing in high school, with toe socks no less), I was being silly.

Bored at work, you definitely seem to be bored at work… I promise I won’t tell your boss.
I like to race anywhere from 2 to 26.2 miles. I’ve done it in temperatures ranging from 0 to 97 degrees. It’s how I get my kicks; that it’s good for my health is a happy accident and nothing more. Today you’re one of the masses, 30 years ago you were trendy, 40 years ago you were a weirdo, and 50 years ago you were dangerous. I still do my thing no matter how other people see it. If what makes someone happy is to have other people look at them oddly, go for it, but you won’t get a rise out of me.
This is only one example of how US society is a whole lot more tolerant of diverse lifestyles than it used to be. I literally never thought I’d see the day when the conservative politicians were cowed into allowing homosexuals to openly serve in the military because of overwhelming public opinion.
Here is the crazy thing that I did today. My friend and I put 6 kids, ages 1-10, into her minivan (luckily it has a DVD player). 3 of those kids are notorious for getting carsick, so Dramamine was involved. We drove 2 hours to the state capitol building and took the tour. We looked at Ahnold’s (now-empty) office. We ate our lunches on the curb of the parking garage while watching the trolleys go by. And then we got back in the minivan and went home. It’s only 3pm!
Also, I have kids and I live in rural suburbia and my house totally fails to be matchy or neat. At all.
Okay here’s my crazy thing I did.
Wenton Omegle. The result:
Stranger: have you ever smoked weed?
You: noyes
Stranger: noyes? which answer? hahaha
You: yesno
Stranger: ?!
You: just a sec
You: I believe you’re looking for this!
You: ‽
Stranger: WHY ARE YOU COMBINIG EVERYTHING?!
You: I’m not, but I am
Stranger: i hate you.
Your conversational partner has disconnected.
InterroBANG. The most awesome of punctuation.
That is seriously daring.
I have done all types of crazy.
Almost ran my friend over at speed.
Practiced the Starsky & Hutch 180 degree car spin around backward move. A lot.
Set a car on fire.
Set a moped on fire.
Lit an out of control 50" tower of flame.
Drove a burning car 80 mph.
Drove 100 mph in pitch black dark and cut off the headlight for very long moments on bald tires.
Should have died motorcycle vs tree.
Should have drowned.
Run from Police and Large People 6 times, once at high speed.
Bad, bad things I was not chased for 3 more times.
At least a hundred serious traffic infractions.
ETA: Everyone I hung out with did crazy crazy stuff all the time. It was pretty fun.
Just a little crazy. But, that was long ago.
Not so crazy now.
I think about this a lot - especially after I read Vonnegut’s Breakfast of Champions in which this is one of the central questions.
