Craziest Day Ever

TRUE STORY:  One of the craziest days of my life happened when I was a senior in high school. I was working at the Hollywood Cinema in Appleton, Wisconsin, when my sister ran in and told me that our neighborhood had been evacuated because a train had derailed nearby! She was supposed to tell me which hotel our family was staying at, but she forgot and just left. Keep in mind, I had no cell phone and no way to get in touch with my mom.

After my shift, I had no idea where to go, so I decided to just hang out with my friends. We went to a midnight showing of a movie, and afterwards ended up going to a small airplane hanger off of the Outagamie County Airport. My friend Mark, who was a few years older, worked there as a courier pilot. He took my friend Ben and I up in a four seater plane, did a few zero G's, and even let me man the controls of the plane! We then flew over my house to see if we could find the derailed train. 

I don't remember if we ever actually saw the train....and I never did find out which hotel my family was at (I ended up sleeping over at my friend Angie's house), but I will never forget how incredibly free I felt while we were flying that plane.

Describe one of the craziest days of your life.

  1. Lucky! That would be a lot of fun. But at the same time I think that would be kind of scary. But still, hahah that would be cool to see that train come off the tracks. That is pretty cool.

    1. I like how you just put random periods everywhere to make it look like 5 sentences.

  4. One of the craziest days of my life. Well a pretty crazy one was in new york at coney island. Because they had a ton of crazy rides and roller coasters. The craziest rides was one were you got strapped into a little ball and they would slingshot you like 300 ft in the air then you would free fall up and down until you came to a halt. It was really cool. But yet very crazy.

  5. Hm....there has been a lot of crazy days in my life. Like when I accidentally punted a chipmunk into a shed, or when wild cats were running around everywhere in a stranded building. There was also a crazy day when I ran over some swimming think that looked like a beaver with my canoe. And then later saw a black bear and it's cub attacking a tree. I have had a lot of crazy days, and also think Ms. Chetto's day must have been pretty crazy too.

  6. First of all why didn't you have a cell phone. Everybody has one!

    Well I was back in Texas in a canyon( called Palo Duro Canyon). I was sleeping under the stars. Then I felt something bite my neck. I was so surprised that I slapped what was biting me. When I felt it I grabbed it and when I looked at it was a dead scorpion. I just killed a scorpion. Who else can say that. I then heard a knocking sound. Then I woke up. It turned out to be a dream.

  7. It was Friday night, can of Pepsi at my left, controller on my lap. It was a game of domination of Favela. I had the Nuke on and I was getting butterflies in my stomach as the map loaded up. The numbers counted down as I was getting ready to own up. Seven kills! I had gotten my harriers and called those puppies in and hid in the bathtub as the airstrike flew over the C flag. and got a double kill. Just two more kills. The Harrier got one kill, then paused for a second. I heard someone fire a Javelin missile and my heart was racing. The harrier finally got the last kill in the nick of time and got me my chopper gunner. I called it in and easily got lots of kills, but my apache was shot down three kills off the nuke. My heart racing faster than a redneck at a Nascar race. One kill. Two kills. Three kills! I had gotten my first nuke! I quickly called it in and started knifing the air and shot my gun randomly. The nuke counted down as I just kept celebrating and yelling,
    "I got the nuke!". That was the craziest game I had ever had. But sadly, this map that I have so many memories in, has been removed. Please everyone, get Infinity Ward to bring this map back on to the online rotation.

    1. Ok here's another. By the way this one is real. I was on Catalina island for my birthday and I went scuba diving in the ocean. I went with three other people and the instructor guy. We just swam around looking at random fish and stuff while he went in the kelp beds and found other things like sea urchins and lobsters. He also brought up a sea slug which looks like a big brown blob. They are actually quite soft and squirt purple juice if you poke them. The instructor guy also almost got an octopus but it swam away. But the craziest thing about this entire thing is that the same people that went scuba diving with me ate at the same restaurant we did! But also considering there are only three restaurants on that island. Also in case you don't know, Catalina is an island off the coast of California.

    2. Very cool! I've been snorkeling before but never scuba diving. I was in Hawaii when I went and I saw a huge sea turtle. I also forgot to wear sunscreen and was horribly burned. Whoops.

  9. The craziest thing that ever happened to me was when I was 5 years old. It was late at night and we were watching charles in charge and then out of the corner of my eye i saw a black mass go across the room. I didn't think anything of it at the time. Just about a month ago, I was watching tv and out of the corner of my eye the black mass.

  10. I have had many crazy days. Some days they were in the cities and sometimes in the middle of pretty much no were. I think one of the craziest days was when I canoed down the Brule river in northern Wisconsin. On our way to put the canoe in the water we saw a black bear cross the trail. Then later during the day we were going down these rapid that we had no choice to not go down, and we turned sideways then hit a rock and nearly tipped over. Then later that week we saw some bear poop on the trail and there was some bones in the poop, I don't think it felt good when it came out!!!Ouch!
