What’s the craziest dare you’ve ever been involved in?

I’ll be the first to respond.

I believe it was a few years ago. A friend and I were working on content for a few blogs – and we wanted to find a way to increase traffic quickly. We took on a dare between one another. Whomever could create the most posts in just a two week period would win. I began at a steady pace of two posts per day, but soon found he was cranking out the posts much quicker. I upped the production rate. When all was said and done, together we had written over one hundred posts in the time frame.

Thereafter, I took a vow to never write, for the rest of eternity.

Hey Christiian,
A cousin of mine and I at the ripe age of about 6, decided not just to climb on the roof of our school, but to climb the rungs up the huge chimney stack as well. We are talking about 40-50ft up. The stack itself was probably 15-20ft. As I climbed up my cousin continued to goad me on a little further. At one point near the top I put my head back and looked up. That was a mistake. I hugged the rungs and froze in place. I was unable to move for some time. The only thing that got me moving was the fear of the trouble I would be in if Mom had to come and get me:)
To this day I am still queasy when I’m in high places. I have been skydiving, been up in a hanglider with a motor (trike), and even have been bungee jumping twice. It would seem as if my fear is gone. Not so. If you want a good laugh you can go to youtube and watch my bungy video. They had to cut it several times for length…but, I did finally jump.
Live it LOUD!
