What was your "Thing" when you were younger?
 

Curious to see how this is answered and what kind of delinquents everyone was (or wasn't).

And yes, I do realize that some of this still applies to some of you.

Anonymous poll...

hehehe :)

Aside from the mattress tag I willingly tore off in 1987 in a drunk stupor - knowing that what I say can and will be used against me in a court of public opinion...

I plead section 11 of the Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms. :)

Porn and horror movies on Video tapes, playing football, basketball and other sports. That was my idea of fun back then :)

We mixed trash can killing up with mailbox baseball and shooting out the back windows of cars into a wicked game of bowling out your back windows with a trash can thrown from a moving car.

This morning I put an aluminum soda can in the plastic recycling bin.

Oh you terrorist! :anon

I used to work, now I grew and gave up that delinquent trait of my personality ...

I guess I was lame when I was young .. I got a job programming RPG on an AS/400 at 14, and kind of never stopped coding.

why dont you first comment about your pool

you police?? time ran out you can't charge me

fuckin nerd proud

When I was a little kid I used to be into electronics. My parents bought me all kinds of electronic kits from Etco and other places, 200-in-1 project kits, etc. I learned how to make radios, generators, Jacob's ladders, and Lizzie's. (Remove the coil from old TV sets, replace them with another one with the vertical and horizontal connected to the left and right channels of a Stereo for cool patters that danced to music. Fun!

I also learned how to generate huge amounts of super wide band static. I had a CB Antenna on the roof, and a few simple wire antennas in the back yard. I would wait until my neighbour turned on his AM radio or TV, and when he turned up the sound, I would turn on my generator and destroy whatever he was listening to, just to hear him yell and get all pissed off.

It was great.

I was 10. I smelled like Ozone.

That's pretty classic :1orglaugh

I was a decent kid, not a scumbag so my vote is "none of the above".

I used to blow up things. A lot of things :helpme


.

Women. I was chasing women from the time I could walk.

Have not stopped since.

I used to drink and do high school parties at my house..

ride motorbikes, drink rum, smoke weed and get into fights. Not much else to do in a little country town. My mates older brother worked at a distribution center in the city and would steal cartons of cigarettes. Wrote them off as damaged stock, then passed them on to us. We sold them at school and made a mint.

bad things :evil-laug

gonna go with 'some of the above' on this..

cute!

I was a pothead that played hockey in my younger years.never stole from anybody

As a result of playing with GI Joe toys, I always to be a soldier. I tried to join the Marines at 18 but couldn't get in because I had high blood pressure. Guess it wasn't meant to be.

I also liked sneaking into the living room and tuning into the scrambled Cinemax and hoping to see a lesbian scene from Cinderella 1977 or Emmanuelle.

so, only Bourke then with an actual man-card in this thread

I used to set cats on fir .............. Never mind.

I've always been edgy that way.

Two words: Heavy Metal.

I once ate Jell-O with fruit in it. The other kids thought I was crazy, but I did it with a smile on my face.

Truancy
Alcohol
Cigarettes
Megadeth
Bitches
Sports

Yes indeed, this. I was a skirt-chaser from early on, definitely.

"mayhem" didn't quite say it so I voted OTHER. :D

A lot of us chased skirts... however, nothing illegal about it ;) I'm looking for delinquency here with my poll questions.

I'm a model citizen.

Mischief, Mayhem. I swear I was a perfect angel :)

wait.. we were supposed to grow out of all that shit?

Just hung out and drank beer with friends. (small town)
Oh yeah and directly next to my friend's house was a house of three hot teen girls. The bathroom window was wide open. We used to watch them get undressed from a window inside his house. Thats about it.

Rock / goth and Michael Jackson :)
Well, actually, they are still my thing :)

:( no Goth should ever admit to liking MJ, no-one should ever admit to liking MJ

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I was a kid with personality. If I liked something, I wasn't ashamed to admit it just because some thought it's not right. Fuck people and their in-the-box rules :)

You didn't list pyromania.

You've missed off 'shoplifting' as the standard option for girls. Why is it all girls are kleptomaniacs?

Shoplifting was never that appealing. But if someone left their garage door open at night in the neighborhood, their wine fridge was getting cleaned out :P

Mayhem! Lol
