Scariest Thing You've Done Recently

ITT we discuss the scariest thing you've done recently.

Mine was to drive an 8 m hunk of aluminum with a 150 hp engine through 2 m waves at 60 kph. When I was empty my prop was leaving the water; when I was loaded my bow was nearly dipping under the crests. And I had no bilge pump to take out the spray, so I was slowly sinking.

Fun!

Share and enjoy!

Whelp anything else anyone can say has been preemptively trumped.

Unless you want to prove me wrong!

I've been looking for work. That may not sound scary until you realize how bad the market is, especially for a guy with an Associate's and no experience. Everyone wants a Bachelor's and/or at least two years in the field in a related capacity.

Then you have this bumping around: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Outofw...52371.html?x=0

I babysat my twin cousins (2) and their sister ( < 1 ) with my sister.

Wen spent ... the whole time doing shit. Like, with a little practice I might have gotten half an hour somewhere in there. And these are seriously the most mild mannered babies in the history of babies. Twins went down at 7, their sister went down at about 9, didn't fuss from being tired, etc. etc. no problems at all. Just... attention occupying.

And then I was like shit. Kids.

I'm probably going to have one of these one day.

I died a little inside.

Hunted a grizzly with a muzzleloader from behind a brush "wall." I thought I was going to die until the bear came into view. Then it became a certainty. I fired, smoke billowed out so I couldn't see anything, I waited to die. Smoke cleared, and the bear was on the ground. I now have a new rug. It's nice.

Took my dad's zodiac boat (if you've never seen one, it's a small inflatable raft with a motor, oversized motor in this case) out onto whitewater and fought the current.

I watched Flandres, and I was scared that the sheer, ugly shabbiness, dullness and stupidity of it was going to kill me.

Fear is relative, what scared me the most? Bike accident I guess, feared I'd never walk again.
