I loved Ben Stein's show... loved seeing Jimmy Kimmel back in the day, too! I think that was before The Man Show, even, wasn't it? (and now... Girls on Trampolines!! LOL)

I picked a game show but I didn't pick a reality show and I would have to say Extreme Home Makeover.

Loved when Jimmy Kimmel was on Ben Stein. It wasn't the same with the girl who I can't even remember her name!

LOL, Karen. My wife wouldn't let me watch the Man show...I had to watch it when she wasn't around. I liked the trampolines bit..

I think being on Ben Stein's show would have been a blast. He's one damn, funny, republican...I love his dry humor and wit. I liked his show with Kimmel and the anorexic chic...I can't remember her name, either...but who watched the show for her name!?!?!

Her name was Nancy Pimental. No, I didn't remember that either... I had to go check IMDB.

Game/Reality show -- it would have to, HAVE TO be Amazing Race. I've been writing letters to CBS since the first season, begging them to let Canadians have a go. I would also love to be a contestant on Spike's MXC.

IF you could invent one thing that currently does not exist, what would you like to invent?

I said this before, but I still would like to be the inventor of an inexpensive little pill that would have absolutely no side effects and would allow me to eat everything I want without gaining a single ounce!

A language translator communication device that works from pets to humans/humans to pets. Not that I would use it that often, just in certain instances.

Well...if you would ask my parents I am sure they would say it was when I was 18 years old and I gave up my nursing career aspirations and everything else that I knew to get on an airplane for the first time to fly over 3,000 miles to San Diego to marry a sailor that I only had dated briefly.

(But that's only cause they don't know about the REALLY crazy stuff...and I ain't telling!)

I'm with Landi, there are so many but one comes to mind. I was a cheerleader and we were having a slumber party and we decided to go to Taco Bell in our tiniest nighties and put bags over our heads and sit down and eat.

LOL! I guess you could say y'all was bagging it! LOL! I wish I had been there...actually, I think you just fulfilled many a pubescent boy's fantasies.

I guess the craziest thing I ever did was ask my best friends sister to "go" with me...she said no and made me wary of the female creature ever since.

Oh and then there was that time me and some friends got staggering drunk and went to a school dance.

Boy...I wasn't very crazy, was I?

I really was a pretty good kid and hung out with a good group of friends. My crazy stuff didn't start until after I got out of high school.

Although I did start a serious relationship with an older guy when I was a junior. So when most people were whispering about sex, I was having it. I stayed with him for 7 years and after 20 years I am still in touch with him today.

Okay, maybe not so crazy. But for a good girl like me ...

Hid in a friend's dryer when the cops raided a party in HS (no parents home, lots of alcohol).

We used to go and drink out by the river, and one night, a group of us, including a couple of firemen, were hanging out, listening to some tunes, and generally getting drunk. I was not drinking that night, I was DD. Well, there was a huge pile of trees laying next to the water, I think they were getting ready to use it for firewood or something. I mean a huge pile, like sixty feet long and about 20 feet high. Yeah, big pile. One of the guys was a little too drunk and he lit a small fire in the grass next to the trees. I was off talking with my girlfriends when one of the guys started laughing and pointing at his friend who had set the fire. The fire had spread to the pile and was getting bigger. The guy, who was a fireman, was trying to pee the fire out. We were laughing really hard, but it got less funny as the flames started to spread even more. One of the guys said "TRUCK, NOW!!!!" and we all scrambled to get in. We flew out of there. We had gotten about two miles away, and we looked back and could see the flames. Not the smoke, The Flames. It was huge.
We considered calling it in, but how do you explain that a fireman had accidently started the fire. Luckily there was nothing around but levee. No houses or other vegitation. So we all just went home.
As you well know, the criminals always return to the scene of the crime, so me and a friend drove out there the next day. There was no pile of trees, just smoking red embers and the levee had burned for a mile.
It made the papers, no known cause, and no cost of damage due to the fact that the county was going to burn the levee's anyway and the trees were due for disposal.

A guy I was dating wouldn't take me home so when he went to sleep I stole his car and drove home and he had to get a ride to my house to get it the next day.

Here's my answer:

When I was in grade 9, we went on a school track trip to California (I am from Winnipeg, Canada).

Anyways, we were allowed to walk around near the hotel in the evening, and find our own dinner etc. We were right in that Hotel Circle near Disneyland. So we were walking to 7-11, and one of the girls I was with spots these hot guys, and we all end up going an talking to them. (We were a group of 6 or 7 girls).

Turns out we go UP to these guys' room, and hang out for a bit, then we told them where we were staying, and one girl gave them one of our room keys, and told them to come by after midnight, to party a bit.

These guys were 19 and 20 year old US Marines and we told them we were 17. Ugh. There were only 3 of them, but looking back, that was INSANE.

We got caught, and the guys were kicked out, and we all had to stay up all night, in the hallway of our hotel, and one by one, they called us into the coaches room, and interrogated us. One coach sat outside with us, so we couldn't get our "story" straight either. After everyone was interrogated, we had to wait for what seemed like a LOOONG time, then the coaches decided we would all have to call our parents IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, and tell them ourselves, what we had done. Ugh.

My mom picked up the phone, and the moment I heard her voice, I started bawling. She was cool about it. She knew I knew I had done wrong, and that was punishment enough.

Luckily, we weren't sent home early, but we lost out shopping privledges, and had to sit out of fun activities. One day we were banished to our room, but when you have 8 girls, in two adjoining rooms, life isn't so bad.

Looking back, now that I'm 29, I cannot believe I did that. We were seriously putting ourselves in a LOT of danger, and we honestly had NO CLUE.

I'm telling you folks, keep an eye on your daughters. They are walking hormones.
