Apr 10 12 12:01 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I totally stuck scissors into an electric outlet when I was...12ish? My friend John-Paul and I were fans of Sci-Fi and horror, and I was sleeping over his house. We were using some toy that required a 9 volt battery. Well, the battery died. With a little Dr.Frankenstein inspiration we wrapped the battery with some wire, and wrapped the other end of the wire to some scissors. (THEY HAD A RUBBER HANDLE, SO I FIGURED WHAT COULD GO WRONG?!? ) While in the basement, I jammed them in the socket. HUGE sparks flew out and the electricity in the whole house went out. His sister(all of 6 at the time) was in the bathroom and immediately started SCREAMING because it became pitch black in the bathroom. Needless to say I was sent home, and subsequently punished by my Mom. (Kudos to BrianStrangenstein for still doing stupid stuff as an adult! LOL )

Jun 18 12 9:59 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I got the brilliant idea in my very early teens to do the ultimate werewolf make-up for halloween. I had a Topstone teenage werewolf mask and cut it up into appliances like I had seen in the old F.M. pics of Lon being made up. Needless to say, I didn't have spirit gum, so I figured rubber cement would be a suitable substitute, to glue the mask pieces and hair from a crappy halloween wig I used for the fur on my face. The good part was that after the fume induced high I was on, wore off, the make-up looked good all afternoon until after Trick-or Treat. The Bad part was trying to remove the stuff ! There were screams heard into the night trying to tear the fur, rubber,skin and my own hair off. I couldn't go into school the next day because my remaining face looked like two pounds of ground round. For about 5 weeks I continued to find bits of rubber cement residue on my face. Thank Gawd the didn't have Super Glue as yet ! Chris Want to hang out with the ultimate party animals ? Come see us at; http://www.hollywoodgorillamen.com/

Someone suggested that the boys put vaseline in their hair for realism. Now, I think that there was a brand-name Vaseline Hair Tonic back then, but we took the instruction literally and combed a big glob of petroleum jelly into our locks. Great effect! We were the greasiest greasers you'd ever want to see. But that stuff didn't wash out easily. I took three showers that night and still had an oil slick on my noggin. I next tried Grease Relief, and it still took several days before I was back to normal. Same for the other guys who tried this.

That worked fine with no after-effects.

I think bubble gum would have been easier to get out of my eyebrows. 2. never "borrow" the fake fur out of your dad's winter coat lining because you just decided that it looks like pictures you've seen of crepe hair and have read that karo syrup could be substituted for spirit gum because you've decided that you want to look like a member of the Talbot family.

Oct 7 12 1:52 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Aged about 11-12 years, I was sitting in the dining room painting one of the Aurora Kits. It was in the evening and I was in my pajamas. I knocked over the white spirit I was using to clean my brushes, which ran off the table and onto my balls. I should have got up and washed it off but It was a delicate stage in the painting procedure and I had realised that the spirit evaporated pretty quickly. About 10 minutes later I noticed a warming sensation which steadily increased and meant I spent the next hour sitting in a cold bath. About a week later I lost about 3 layers of skin. Russ

Oct 8 12 2:57 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	.....9 feet, 2 inches later my rear wheel touched down and I brought the bike to a stop (just inches before running into the bushes in front of my parent's house). I had a wife and two kids and that jump was one of the dumbest things I've ever done. Still, it was a great feeling, reliving two of my childhood passions. Long live being a monster kid! Strangenstein, I'm probably opening myself up for a lotta pee taking here but is that a real bird sitting on the ramp ? It really seems to be following you and changing position? Russ

Russ I had a zippo lighter leak in my pocket while driving on the turnpike one day. Suddenly out of nowhere it felt like something was burning a hole through my leg. Once it happens there is no relief.

Nov 6 12 9:07 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	My sister reminded me on an incident that I had put out of my mind.... Seems we were playing "Mad Scientist" one afternoon, after catching "Dr. Jekyll and Mister Hyde" on TV... and, being the smart kid I was, I filled a couple of test-tube like flower vases with water, and broke up a set of alka seltzer tablets for my "secret formula." What I didn't realize was, you were supposed to wait for them to stop "efervessing" before drinking... In one swoop, I drank them down... and was sick to my stomach in seconds. ...and for the rest of the afternoon...

If you make the screen dark enough, the mind's eye will read anything into it you want! We're great ones for the dark patches." -VAL LEWTON

Nov 24 12 12:47 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I used to walk down the street to school like a dinosaur, on my toes like a triple jointed dino leg. I'd have my hands up like a T-Rex and would be gnashing my teeth. I don't exactly recall all that, but my mom and aunt told me they passed me when I was going to school one day and saw me doing it, and they cracked up. It's totally believable though, it sounds like something I'd do then.
