    He is the secret Pete Rose of basketball. No one as competitive as Jordan would leave to play minor league baseball at the peak of his career. He is a renowned gambler. Stern sent him out to pastor and he is lucky the internet didn't exist in the early 90's cause he would have been called out fast.

    Bum, I say!

    I'd like to say...I don't think thrill-seeking is idiotic. There is nothing wrong with a good adrenaline rush. I've gone skydiving four times and would do it all the time if it wasn't so expensive...you're more likely to die on a golf course than jumping. There are a lot of other dangerous activities on my (imaginary - don't have one) bucket list. The risk/reward might not make sense to some - everyone has their own limits when it comes to dangerous activities. hell, some people won't get in a plane, let alone jump out of it...But I think it's even more idiotic to live life worrying too much about 'what if's'.

    Climbing is a way of life for me! If you aren't living on the edge, you're taking up too much space!

    Also, yoga pants! Yoga pants have turned the average grocery store into a better chick-scoping environment than the average bar!!

    way before Fight Club was ever a movie (and maybe even a book, not sure when it came out), in about 1990 some buddies of mine thought it would be funny to wager who of us would knock out whom for cash. as the idiot of the group, I volunteered, I was the one who got knocked out, and I was the one who got the LEAST amount of cash for it. the guy throwing the punch got the majority of it. we made it so it was "safe", though. two guys right beside me to catch me if I lost consiousness. which i did. and which they did. so it was all good.

    what teens do when drunk and bored.

    Aren't you more likely to die on a golf course because you're more likely to be 80 and overweight??

    But I agree with your general premise about risks worth taking. I'm a back country hiker/climber as well; not as risky as jumping out of planes, though.

    Lol....touché. I'm sure that's part of whatever stats someone's friend told someone's friend who came up with the comparison I heard from a hardcore skydiving friend. I do know there are a shit ton of lightning deaths on golf courses each year tho...who knows how it works out per capita, it was meant kinda tongue in cheek.
    Either way, the sensation of freedom - flying/ near weightlessness is awesome enough for the risk imo...I was surprised that scuba had a similar vibe...but there is a lot more sky than water in my neck o the woods. I really do want to get into some serious back country canoe / hiking trips in the near future tho...every time I go to the Alberta rockies I curse myself for not taking better advantage of my proximity to them

    Some 20 year old American learned over the weekend that running around with bunch of bulls probably not worth the risk of a potential horn up the keister .

    Another idiotic action I'll never get, Jason. Why subject yourself (and especially your ass) to that?

    Out here, a 17-year-old kid killed himself by playing a surprise game of russian roulette.

    Again, why?
