Movies that inspired you to do stupid things

[Andrew]

Ours was definitely "Highlander."  We would take wiffle ball bats and wrap most of them with two or three layers of black electrical tape.  The handles were wrapped with twine to give a good grip.  One of our group actually made a hilt for his, a wooden dowel crosspiece with a bit of PVC to stiffen where it went through the bat.

Anyway, we all had long trenchcoats and we would declare when "Highlander" was to begin.  Then, you went everywhere with your sword.  If you saw another immortal you attacked and fought until one was "killed."  Ever been thwacked with a wiffle ball bat wrapped in tape?  It hurts.

We also used to joust with those bats, on our bicycles.   We did a lot of things that resulted in pain, come to think of it.  Dirt clod fights, walnut fights, wiffle bat sword battles, wrestling (with the goal of pushing the other person into a huge holly tree), etc.

movies make you do really stupid things...you know it won't work but you still try.

I started to run out in a typhoon with an umbrella in an homage to mary popppins. Had i lept off the roof in high winds it actually might have worked..lol

After seeing the really cheap bad sheila queen of the jungle riding on a zebra movie i tried to talk to my cat by pinching my forehead. Yeah i'm more ashamed by that one because i was old enough to know better.

I said candyman in the mirror (mostly cause i like a good dare)

After seeing goonies me and some friends liked the sliding down the tunnel part looked fun, and being summer we went to some houses being constructed and stole large wooden boards. there was a hill (more of a drop-off) that was dangerously steep and rocky with dirt..not smooth at all. Why this seemed like a good idea i don'tk now but we sat on those boards and spent all afternoon sliding down this steep hill which ended up in the street. A few times we went flying off of the boards and tumbling down. I went home with my jeans completely torn and bleeding and had a good yelling at. But i had fun ;-)
