It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time!

[doorgunner]

I was reading thru the threads and felt the need to combine some wisdom/stupidity in the same thread...(not a new idea!!!!)

Feel free to post if you have a personal experience with "It seemed like a good idea........!"

One of my favorites is "It seemed like a good idea at the time" which is usually referring to an incident that started with a "watch this!". Using it as an explanation usually doesn't turn out so well.

You guys!!!!!

That saying is used quite often by Viet Nam Veterans....."it seemed like a good idea at the time"

IDEA: "I'm tired of C-Rations.....Let's eat a water-buffalo!!!!!!"
Problem: Water-buffalo are considered sacred by many Asian people. Article 15, and pay the Vietnamese owner for the roasted/mostly eaten buffalo.


IDEA: "Man! I'm bored...somebody get a pistol & let's play Russian Roullette!"
Problem: Sooner or later, that one bullet in the cylinder lines up!


IDEA: "Let's sneak a truckload of whores onto the compound!"
Problem: A week later, 80% of the Company is lined up at the Medic's tent waiting for penicillin shots.


IDEA: "Let's use the clear jet-engine oil as suntan lotion!"
Problem: Two months later, you're twitching like a minnow out of water because of nerve-reactions to the engine oil....BUT...you have a great tan from the waist up.


IDEA: "Let's shotgun some Cambodian Red....with shotguns!"
Problem: Everbody gets to feeling REAL GOOD/loads the shotguns with buckshot/shoots the tin roof on the hooch off while admiring the stars (until the monsoons start in a few days).


IDEA: "I'm fed up with this cluster____ of a war...Let's not fire our weapons today in protest...What can They do about it...send us to NAM..LOL!"
Problem: The Officer/Pilots are a very nervous bunch & like to be protected while flying helicopters...they get upset & have people court-martialed who don't return fire...then you get to stay in NAM...without a weapon...in the stockade...with no suntan oil.

i've had a lot drunken nights where that was said. especially during college when i lived at the fraternity house. 40 college aged males with no adult supervision, booze (and other drugs), and a burn pit on 6 acres of land ended up with lots of dumb things happening. i cant beleive no one ever died or was permanently injured.

ha, i was reading these, from that "other post" and thought, someone should start a new thread on this. the first "seemed like a good idea at the time" involved a bicycle, snow, and a hay elevator. it was winter, i was in jr high, dont remember the year, probly '81-'82. we had a large oval driveway out at the farm, drive way had been graded of snow, was easily able to ride around with the bmx bike i had. for some reason, i thought i could ride over the bank of snow with the bike. got up a good amount of speed and turned into the bank. didnt go over (as planned) front tire stuck and i was thrown over, and onto a peice of farm equipment in the middle of the drive, a old jd hay elevator. hit my leg on the 4" frame tube and broke it. spent the rest of the winter in a cast. .......seemed like a good idea at the time........

No, they(we) say "Here, hold my beer," first.

do the athletes stay there?

Oddly enough, no.

I R a redneck so countless tales of "it seemed like a good idea at the time" and "hey, hold my beer this will be awesome". My favorite is from years ago but is still regrettable to this day. Two words. CORK GUN. While drinking at my friends shop he, another buddy and I were messing around and for some reason he had a whole vase full of wine corks so we started chucking them at targets and each other. Then out came those words, "hey hold my beer, this will be AWESOME". And awesome it was! The parts are one 3ft piece of DOM(could probably use pvc?) tubing that a cork can be shoved into, one valve stem(remove shrader valve), one piece of short tube that will fit over pipe, two band clamps to hold it together. Use looong extension as ram rod to load from muzzle. Use one shop air compressor to provide power! You now have a cork gun, congrats. Now testing. Sounds pretty wicked as air pressure builds IMO. First across the shop (65') cracks the wall nice and solid. More beer. First tester, yours truly, across the room (safetyl glasses of course) cracks my chest nice and solid, red mark only. No good. Every one takes a turn then move to half shop(30'). Everyone takes a turn. Stings like hell leaves welt. Ehhhh. On to 10'! feels and looks like a paintball gun shot you. More beer, not good enough. Point blank. Really hurts but is great fun. Next day we looked like we took a motos worth of roost shirtless and my buddy is pretty sure he has a cracked rib. We show his dad who owns the shop and the other guy who works there our new toy so even now if you are in the shop afterhours for any reason and you hear this weird wheeeooooooiiiii sound you better hightail it before it gets to the POP!

congrats. You win the redneck challenge in my book.

Not me, but we weren't sure if it was a good idea, so we made our test dummy try it first.
