3 (or is it 5?) things meme

[fitzw]

Rules: Post 3 (or is it 5?) things you've done that you believe nobody else on your F-list has done. Indulge in remorse if someone calls you out on a listed item.

1. Fallen out of a tree, getting stuck waist deep in a snowbank. Head first.
2. High school age: Taped a model rocket engine onto an arrow with electrician's tape, inserted a firecracker fuse, had friend light the fuse, and then shot the arrow out of the window of said friend's bedroom. Blackbird on fence post just out of rocket's path may have never quite recovered...
3. Accidentally caused a computer to crash remotely with a simple, two line BASIC program, while in high school, thus revealing a flaw in the system's privilege mechanism. Learned what "soft switches" were from the experience. Got to visit the computer center afterwards.

Bonus:

4. Trimmed lawn with a sickle.
5. Witnessed a cow vault over an electric fence, while said cow was standing on ice (you knew I was going to include that one).

Gotcha on number 4, we like to do that under circumstances too.

Just to be sure, before I indulge in remorse, you trim lawn occasionally with a sickle? Not a scythe...

Good thing that was a bonus item. ;-)

It took me a while to come up with a list of things that I thought that others on my F-list hadn't done.

"I want to be unique, just like everybody else!"

How about trimming the lawn with sheep shears? ;-)

Both. Scythe for the bulk, sickle for the hedgerow and the retaining walls.

now that's desperation. I don't care enough for my lawn to indulge in desperation =)

They work very well around saplings and the edge of a garden. ;-)
