[Closed] Things you've done that...

On similar lines, in school playing basketball, at the end of the game ref raised the whistle to his lips whilst the ball was in the air heading off the court. One guy leapt into the air, took the ball and lobbed it blind backwards over his head from about the half way line. Straight in without touching the ring.

As a white belt I tapped a purple belt with a mounted gogoplata*. Not only had no one else in the gym seen it done in real life, I had never been taught it or even attempted it before.

went over the handlebars on my bike and it seemed like slow motion at the time, I got my front wheel caught in drainage ditch. As I went over and tucked under in a roll I could see my bike above me and kind of pushed it off with my feet to get it away from me. The next thing I know I'm crouching on my feet and my bike is back on two wheels next me, but just in front. In a split second I realise it's still rolling and am able to spring forwards, grab the handlebars, run alongside it and jump back on. Did not even have a scratch, a bruise or anything. I rode on laughing my head off at how such a bizarre thing could have happened.

Never seen it done again in all my years playing and watching.

Few more here:

Glass of Orange cordial with a slice of ham in it.

Served it to a mate when I was a yoot*.

Literally never seen it done since.

I liked both items and couldn't see why you might not combine them.

I've some something similar to keva, where I've gone OTB, fully rotated and landed on my feet, had to run a bit to keep my balance, but it was like a circus trick. I doubt I could do it again if I tried.

I plunged my bare hand into a bucket of liquid nitrogen.

I heated up some rice in the microwave but wasn't sure if it was hot in the middle so I stuck my finger in.

I'm also a member of the OTB, complete summersault and landing back on my feet, then managing to stay upright brigade. Looks like its a less exclusive club than I thought! 😉

I did feel the need to complete it by an elaborate dismounting-gymnast style flourish, while shouting [b]TA-DAAAAAAAAA[/b]

I invented Jamesons And Chips. Surprisingly good combo.

(later on the same night we invented the Pint Of Coke And Chicken Bones Lava Lamp, that wasn't so succesful)

We were playing football on an especially windy afternoon, and in the second half, were relieved to have the wind at our backs.

The other team sent a long kick well into our half and my friend - a fellow defender - kicked it out of the air in an attempt to clear it. The wind took it, and both teams stood and stared as it sailed beautifully the length of the pitch, straight over the outstretched hands of their keeper, and into the net.

It was just one of those moments where you're so amazed, your emotions get all mixed up: you want to laugh hysterically, and jump for joy, and congratulate your teammate all at the same time.

Fielding at cricket, batsman hit a screamer straight at my face. Managed to get my hands up in time to [s]stop my face being caved in[/s] parry the ball upwards and behind me. No idea where the ball went so I stuck my hand out and dived in the general direction I thought it had gone, as I hit the ground the ball fell into my open hand and I caught it.

Got a bollocking from the coach for not holding on to it in the first place...

Playing lacrosse, caught ball just behind the goal.

Jumped into the crease and shot the ball on the back of the keepers helmet which bounced into the goal.

IIRC, that was the only highlight in a quite a few to not many drubbing.

Chopped up some Scotch Bonnet chillies, carefully removing the seeds and added to a pot of chilli. Then went for a pee but didn't wash my hands before the pee.
Never done that before and won't be doing it again

I'm also an 'OTB to run-er' but rather than somersaulting I managed to feed the bike between my legs as I was lurching forward, land on my feet and run further down the hill while my bike bounced along behind me.

When I was about ten years old I was making some toast on the gas grill.
For some reason I thought I'd shove a fork in the flame then put it on my tongue to see if it was hot. It was. Very.

Very similar to BigButSlimmerBloke above except for the fact that i have to use intermittant catheterisation every time i need a pee so i inserted the catheter as usual and within seconds i was curled up on the floor, throwing up with convulsions as my bladder wall and uretha reacted to the capsaicin from the scotch bonnet chillies (i love a phall curry), It felt like i had a large treble hook attached to my Bladder wall and someone was attempting to extract it through my uretha. I was pissing blood for days.

Not one of my brighter moments.

Round at my cousin's when I was a teenager. She had a dartboard up in her bedroom, I went "ooh, can I have a go?" Picked up the darts, threw a straight 180, quietly collected the darts then sat back down again. To this day she thinks I'm a darting legend, it was the first and only time I've ever done it.

I invented Jamesons And Chips. Surprisingly good combo.

Back at college, we had a vending machine which dispensed drinks from individual component parts. So for example, orangeade would dispense cordial, then water, then highly carbonated water. We used this to go off-piste inventing drinks that weren't normally available.

We gave up soon after I invented fizzy chicken soup. It was every bit as revolting as it sounds.

I wouldn't call it a thing of beauty but I was the assist for a goal a bit like the one described above. A really windy day and a small pitch, I was kicking from my hands in my penalty area and landing the ball on the edge of the oppo's box. One such occasion, the classic '5 and 9' ariel challenge (CB vs CF, I don't think in the days of squad numbers referees think about 5 and 9's anymore) and the ball rocketed off one or both's head and looped over the fat goalie who was about 3 feet off his line.

On a similar occasion, I had my chance of a goal snatched from me - similar conditions, I cleared the defender and the attacker and the ball then bounced over the oncoming GK. Would have gone in too if the greedy CF hadn't chased it and kicked it in from about 3 yards.

You've also done this.

I've never seen that done before.

Bumped into the ex girlfriend, Louise. (Shudders)!!!

And never again Joshvegas, that's why they invented the tapered steerer

Not as impressive as some, but was staying in a luxury cottage with some friends for New Year a few years back, that had a full size pool table in it. We were playing pool fairly drunk, I broke and then cleared the table including the black before my mate was even able to take a shot. Only time I've ever done it, and don't think I've seen it done before (admittedly I don't watch much pool)

Playing rugby. I was flanker at defensive scrum. Their 8 picks and runs forward I tackle him low and my legs spin round and take out the ref who comes down face first onto our 8's knee. He's out before he hits the ground! Took 30mins to find a new ref!
