Thinking back a few things make me cringe :

-Hunting gophers....man we were ruthless with guns as kids
-Hockey Cards....man did we ever ruin a lot of cards by playing closest to the wall, dropsies etc. Still have a great collection but I ruined a large %
-Trees.....we used to ruin a lot of trees and would hammer away into trees without anyone giving a care so we could build the coolest forts etc. some 20 feet up and most on public property. Not sure what the rules for this were back then?
-Learning about sex at a friends house watching Clan of the Cave Bear with their parents. Awkward.
-Some of the massive crab apple fights we used to have in our neighborhood. I still can't believe no one lost an eye as this was one thing that warrants the saying. We used to put everything we had into throwing those things and they would often explode off friends heads. Perfect size of an eye socket....this one really makes me cringe to think back....
-Going up on our roof and slapping on the baby oil to help us burn/tan easier. Crank up some AM106 and just lay there for 4-5 hours
-Rollerskating.....these two songs still haunt me to this day http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIlHt_syoSE

those songs used to get played over and over as we would go around and around and will always be "my rollerskating songs"
-Snowmobiling with my buddies step dad who brought along homemade wine and encouraged us to drink up to keep us warm and then proceeded to crash us all into a huge snow bank as he lost control in more ways than one. We could have used some heliparents back then.
