You're showing your age(or is it cowardice?) Watching the clip I can see (Muscles) on the merry-go-round while (Brains) guns the engine and you squeal "faster, faster" and I am off to the side saying that this isn't going to end well. But then throwing lit firecrackers at each other at the Spanaway climbing rock probably isn't the height of enlightenment and safety either. Or were you not involved in the firecracker incident?

I'm going with age on this one. And experience. After all, though I cannot tack this bit of stupid on myself, I do remember lots of extra-vehicular travel on Muscle's LTD (the windshield climb-around trips, taken on 86th just outside our houses) that could have gone far farther south than a mere hyper-sonic merry-go-frickin-round. You know, like the Twilight Zone lights out trip you took with him.
And no, I don't remember the firecrackers there. Firecrackers, oh, yes, those I remember; but not at the climbing rock. The worst thing to consider? None of us were drinking for any of this. Squealing, yes I was, and quivering with fear, you; but not drinking.

I was just telling my kids about the "Twilight Zone" driving with the headlights out incident the other day. It was suppose to be a warning about goofing around while driving but I don't think it worked. All they want to know now is all the other stupid stuff we did when younger. I did mention not to pretend that a firecracker is a cigarette and to light one while holding it in the mouth like Muscles did. A half second more and he would have had a whole different nickname.

Yup. And that nickname probably wouldn't have been Lips.
Come to think of it, while we did (of course) do those stupid things, we were on the whole pretty boring and non-adventurous. We, like, mostly talked and giggled like idiots. Blithering, giggling idiots. Y'know, like kids.

Not looking forward enough to the consequences? That's being a teenager/young adult*.
*which is, to some extent, also stupid--but in a different way
