This post is to set the record straight about my last post. Someone who read it became extremely concerned about my well being and basically suggested that I was in danger of committing some great attrocity in an attempt to keep company with the likes of Thelma and Louise. It's nice to know that people are concerned about my well being, and no, I really don't want me to end up sitting in jail next to Lindsey Lohan. Let me be clear: while I admire Thelma and Louise from afar with their bravado and devil-may-care attitudes, my level of wild and crazy does not include robbing a convenience store, having sex with a perfect stranger, or shooting anyone. Although I think everyone does have that capacity in them if pushed in the wrong direction.
I have had my fair share of adventures on "the wild side" thus far -- but adding a few more to my list does not seem like such a horrible way to spend my time. There are plenty of hijinx that will let me bend the rules all the way into a backbend and still maintain my "pristine" reputation (I'm laughing here and hope you are too!) So for the record, and whether you agree with me or not about the level of wild and crazy on a scale of one to ten, these are some of the tales I may -- or may not -- talk about later when I'm sitting in the rocking chair at the nursing home. Ready or not, here they are in no particular order:
1) I have been "not-so-skinny" dipping on occasion. Naked cannonballs are fantastic fun!!!
2) I once de-pants someone in a stock room and left him there to think about that. (He's lucky I didn't laugh.)
3) I have driven on a suspended license (that was a LONG time ago -- I have been on the straight and narrow for quite some time -- but we won't talk about my lead foot).
4) I have gone splashing in a public fountain in the middle of downtown Kansas City that clearly said that it was not allowed.
5) I violated the sacred ground on the quad at Grove City College by marching in a diagonal line right across the beautifl unspoiled grass. You are supposed to use the sidewalk under penalty of I really don't know what -- because I didn't get caught.
6) I shoplifted stickers and books and the occasional album at the local mall (and I'm not talking about last week).
7) I could drink 6 beers at the fraternity party and still walk home in a straight line.
8) I have driven a time (or two) when I probably shouldn't have.
9) I once -- with the help of a couple of friends -- changed the titles on the movie marquee to porn titles -- we finished just as the mall security was pulling up -- and ran like hell.
10) ______________ (more to come)
I plan on adding at least one thing to my list this weekend while I am off of my leash. I guess you'll have to see what I decide to add to my growing encyclopedia of "rather tame" exploits. But in my mind, I'd like to think I could run with the big dogs...
So as an homage to being young, and the things we should or shouldn't do, here's a little tune about being a little wild and crazy:

Those crazy days that I have left have led me here to you,
