Why Climb an Iceberg? -crazy fun things

[tenni]

On a Wednesday afternoon in St. John’s, N.L., Justin Emberley saw a 45-metre iceberg floating less than 100 feet from shore in Quidi Vidi Harbour. He called up his friend, Kevin Le Morzadec, a French citizen doing his Ph.D. on the subject of glacier modeling in Newfoundland, and said, “Let’s climb it.” And climb it they did. They put on their wetsuits and life vests, threw their ice picks and clamp-ons in their bags, jumped in the frigid ocean and swam to the iceberg. The National Post’s Kristin Annable spoke Thursday to Mr. Le Morzadec, as Mr. Emberley listened nearby:

Worse than that, Gearbox.......I went to work with two odd shoes on. I mean.......really? LOL How about walking out of the toilet in a hotel while on honeymoon and into the bar to suddenly find a pair of desperate hands and a knob pressed on me bootie.. no.. it was not some sex starved perv but my husband who was panic stricken at the sight of his adorable new bride with her skirt tucked very scrunchily into the back of her knickers!! Not a wise thing to do here.. but maybe a little more dangerous in Tunisia, so hubby, bless his little cotton sox, was protecting me modesty and maybe more..

LOL Fran, too funny

as for my crazy fun thing(s)... have had many that I can't share :oh:. I think the craziest was back in the 60's when I actually parachute jumped out of a private plane. It was awesome, thrilling and terrifying and I'll never do it again.

Today my tolerance for risk of any kind is zero, having suffered some consequences after getting dumped off the back of a Honda 1100 http://tinyurl.com/83zg472 @ 60 mph (age 55) and living to tell about it. I am now pursuing less adventurous undertakings like knitting LOL (believe that?) hehe.

nice bike, peg....lol

a couple of drinks, a few insane ladies and a makeup purse = the guys running thru the middle of town on a friday night in females underpants and makeup, to order takeaways......

the cops saw the funny side of it.... told us that we needed to shave in future or they would charge us with impersonating females badly and threatening to cause aggravated whisker rub with a offensive kiss.... lol..... yes I offered the cop a kiss........

I am not sure that I would do something like that now... they may charge me with possessing offensive legs in public.....lol

That is one very potentially dangerous thing to do---they say that icebergs totally turn over from time to time once the part in the water gets totally waterbound---I have seen that on some of those nature shows about being around them either in the Arctic or Antarctic. Most likely that such a thing won't happen when you'd be on one--but then again---they don't give any warning and they just tump over.

It does look pretty cool though!

Once, many years and a entirely different lifetime ago, I had sex with my then-girlfriend in a tanning bed....while it was on...at a fitness center....where I happened to work....and also happened to be on duty.....

....OOOPS! My bad!

Although, I guess I have done some crazier stuff...
