Were you the kid who did shitty things, or did you know who did shitty things?

We all have our example of something terrible we did when we were younger but maybe not on a consistent basis. Whereas I might have been a bit of a wise-ass when I was growing up, I never consistently did things that would be considered harmful to people or animals.
So my question is; Were you the Kid who did the shity things or did you know the kid who did shity things?
For me, I knew the kid who did shity things and he was my next door neighbor, Clint. For example he used to take cats and put them in mailboxes on our street. Mind you, the summer in suburban Jacksonville is hot and these cats obviously wanted no part of the gag. The mail ran at about 2:00 and Clint began stuffing the boxes between 10:00am-11:00am, so the cats wanted out. The true measure of Clint's insanity came in his calculated placement of the animals. The first mailbox contained a cat that surprised the shit out of the mailman. The second mailbox was the same thing, complete with the hissing and jumping like the first cat. Now that a pattern was established, Clint deliberately left the third mailbox empty, luring the honest-hard working mailman into a false sense of security. Then came mailbox number 4, which Clint saved for the biggest cat.
To be honest, the first time Clint did this it was hysterically funny. That big cat scratched the mailman a few times before he sped away. The second time however; was terrible in that the third cat died in the mailbox. Clint got in a lot of trouble that day and as fate would have it he eventually became a seasoned criminal and the last I heard he is spending his days near Perry, Florida in prison. (true story) So I guess it was the best of times and the worst of times and Clint was the Kid in our neighborhood that did all the shity things.

I knew that response would come and laughed harder than I thought I would. Funny stuff, Chig.

i definately knew the kid that did shitty things. i was never really the one to do the stuff, mainly because i didn't want to get beat up (i'm not gonna lie) or arrested. he would do all kinds of shit, like put big rocks in paper bags and 12-pack boxes in the street in front of his house and sit and wait for people to hit them, piss in people's barbeques, smash bottles in your driveway, the whole bit. i always hated that shit but i hung out with him every day for some reason.

I definitely wasn't the kid who did shitty things, at least not anything serious. I was a kid who brazenly walked in to the corner store and started flipping through harcore porn magazines. I even shoplifted one simply by running in and sprinting out. No subtlety at all.

But your post reminded me of a kid I haven't thought of in years. I can't remember his name, but I was over at his place and was playing around in his crawlspace. The floor was littered with GI Joes and other toys to the point where you couldn't see the ground. So as I'm crawling around I feel something sharp hit my hand. I push away the toys and find an open pocket knife. The kid then proceeds to take the knife from me and jam it in to the end of a nearby bamboo pole, making a spear. He says something like 'Hey! Javelin!" and throws the fucking thing at me. I don't think it hit me, but if it did I doubt it did any damage otherwise I'd remember. That was the last time I went over to his house.

A couple years later I remember hearing that he cut the tail off a cat, but I don't know if it was true or not

me and my friends use to drive around town squirting people with a supersoaker, water only.

we also would find out where the parties of rival schools were, and then call the cops on the party, these calls would often result in the arrest of someone for weed, alcohol, etc.

once shot a cow with a potato gun, and a deer with a .22

I could go on...when my friends and I get together we often get called liars, when we talk about the stupid shit we did.

We use to do some shitty things mostly with eggs
There was a place people use to go and look at the NYC skyline and make out. We would ride by and throw eggs at them.
The worst was on night we were driving around in my mothers truck knocking over garbage cans. We were in the center of town and my buddie thought it would be good to throw an egg at a car comming towards us. I recognized the car and told him not to do it. He hit it right in the windshield and the car followed us and eventally caught us. It was the daughter of my older brothers law partner who was also the town judge. Nedless to say I was called to the office the next week and yelled at. It also turned out we knocked over his garbage can too. I told him not to throw that egg.......

I did the typical kid stuff, throwing eggs, mailbox baseball. Occasionally we would go "looting", basically we would see who could steal the best thing from someones yard. It started to go a little overboard when one of my friends began taping M-80s together, and putting a cigarette timer on it, then taping it to someones house or car window. Once he threw a 10 speed bike that was out on the garbage through someones picture window. the rest of us slowly began to distance ourselves from him.

I pooped alot, so yes I did plenty of shiity things

:king:

I did typical kid stuff, but never by myself. As a group of kids, we'd string 8-track tape across the road, through crab apples at the ice cream man, go pool hopping at the country club, steal golf carts and go joy riding... Simple stuff.
