YT2095 Posted February 6, 2004 Posted February 6, 2004 if you`re not one you won`t understand, if you ARE one, please chime in what floats your boat?, gives you "that" Buzz?, gets you off? I was trying to explain this to a friend about an hour ago, she though I was a bit crazy! I have a few things that I do just for kicks, not because it`s safe (I`ve often been injured sometimes seriously), and it`s never done with the thought that you`ll get hurt, but there`s that CHANCE/RISK that you might and it`s that RISK that makes it interesting. is there anyone else out there that feels the same? or would flick a lit cigarette into a pot of gunpowder just to see what would happen? (I don`t mean that part literaly). pipe up and share, I`de be interested to here about it
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 6, 2004 Posted February 6, 2004 I must have to much common sense to do that kind of thing. Bah-it's not common.
kitkitkit Posted February 6, 2004 Posted February 6, 2004 I get that felling sometimes. If im doing an experiment (such as making gunpowder) i know its dangerous, and i sometimes do some really stupid things. For instance, i was making gunpowder in a dust pan, and i didnt even use a fuse, i wanted to see it up close, i just put a match to it. Luckily for me i hadnt added saltpetre or sulphur yet, so nothing happenned, but never the less, if it had worked, i would have killed myself.
-Demosthenes- Posted February 6, 2004 Posted February 6, 2004 I love fire! It is just the funnest thing ever! I love making fires on camp outs and stuff, and out of gasoline in the middle of the road and stuff, not that I ever have.

I find fire very intriguing I love running my fingers through it, I love the look of it, I like the colours...
-Demosthenes- Posted February 6, 2004 Posted February 6, 2004 Just looking at flamible liquids makes me laugh and get excited. I tried to make flamible dough with gasoline and flour once...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 6, 2004 Posted February 6, 2004 I said that common sense isn't common, and I meant it.
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 7, 2004 Posted February 7, 2004 That isn't too bad! He means stuff like seeing if you can toss a match in a can of gasoline without getting blown up.
-Demosthenes- Posted February 7, 2004 Posted February 7, 2004 Oh I was kidding, but sounds like fun...
Glider Posted February 7, 2004 Posted February 7, 2004 Parascending/paragliding used to do it for me; leaping off mountains with a wing. Then the parascending organization and the hangliding organisation joined up and it got all political with many, many more restrictions I used to dive also, but that's really expensive. My bike has always provided the buzz I like, although with the nutters on the roads these days, just getting from A to B on a motorcyle without getting smashed is grounds for a party.
YT2095 Posted February 7, 2004 Author Posted February 7, 2004 Glider, I can rellate to that on SO many different levels! Making gunpowder or things similar can be quite a buzz for the 1`st few times I must admit, I was only using the lit cig in it as an example, not literaly! (although I have done it in the past and suffered the consequences. "Just looking at flamible liquids makes me laugh and get excited. I tried to make flamible dough with gasoline and flour once... " I`ll bet that was a nightmare to try and mix, I doubt it would have made a dough even? Methylated spirits would have worked a bit better, if you add some boric acid to the meths first, the dough balls will burn Green too but it`ll probably stink like burnt toast in a chemists

Actually I just put some flour and gas into a little tin foil bag, I never mixed it, I never lit it either. Relized how much trouble I'd get it!

Moontanman Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Motorcycles do it for me, hill climbing, drag racing and just seeing how fast I can take a curve on a superbike is a thrill for me!
