Alright, let's discuss of stuff we did when we were young.

One particular event was, in the summer, I took off my bathing suit and walked around without any clothes! I was a baby back then, though, and we lived in countryside...

I once was in a chess club years ago and I really thought that I was very, very good, then I tried to play a game with someone who was a few years older than me, I said that I was very good and that it wouldn't be easy to defeat me etc. and then... I've got beaten in 3 turns! it was shocking for me and I learned not to underestimate my enemy and that I wasn't that good at chess.

It most definitely takes some skill to lose a chess game in 3 turns... (Unless you deliberately suicide and the opponent happens to make the correct moves at the same time, it just won't happen)

Actually it's a quite easy trick, however you can easily prevent your enemy from defeating you in 3 turns.

You realize this topic formulation is a bit odd coming from someone that from the perspective of most on this forum still is a child. When I was younger I was your age

Yes. I know. But when most of us here think of "when we where younger" I think we will picture ourselves at aproximatly your age.

When I was younger, I once stood up on a swing, rocked it a bit, and jumped off. Then I looked up, and got smacked in the head by the swing, and bled on my shoes when I ran back to the house. Contrary to expectations, I think I might be smarter because of that... or maybe not. :/

Oh well. I just think of myself being 0-5 years.

Well, when I was young I made the mistake of watching Disney's "The Black Hole"... I guess my mum never saw me that scared before...

(Then again, I just saw Pan's Labyrinth and found it rather average - I guess I was frightened a lot easier in those days... )

np: Autobianchi - Endless Blue Sky (Leichtes Hören Teil 1)

When I was younger, I ran off a 520 metre cliff in Rio de Janeiro. It was the most exhilarating thing I've ever done.
Two days ago I was younger, right?

ah, I remember when I was young.

...I graduated college, got married. divorced a couple years later because we weren't really in love, just lust. the mistakes of youth...

(edit: clarification. graduating college wasn't a mistake of youth, just establishing my definition of "young" based on my current advanced age. nearly failing out of college because I was too busy playing games... THAT was a mistake of youth).

When I was younger I was a teenager... Like today.

Right...

When I was younger I...

Always had underweight.
In 4th class of primary school (I believe I was... 10/11 years back then) I weighted 25 Kilograms (55 pounds?).. Neat, eh?
Now I'm 60.5 Kilograms(133 pounds?) and I'm 181 centimeters tall (5.93 feet). And I lack 4 kilograms to fit into the lower border of optimal proportion weight-height...

Neat, eh?
And I eat really much.

When I were younger (about 11 years old) I with my older friends got lost in German forest . I knew only a couple of English words that time. Fortunately, after several hours we found the way back.

Alright, so when I had the chicken pox when I was younger, my mom had to put stuff all over my body. I was white all over my body, even on my hair!

That reminds me of something myself Jeff_Ray!

When I was younger, about two or three years old, my mother and I were just getting over the Chicken Pox together. Eventually we were well enough that we were able to walk outside again. So we decided to walk out to the mailbox to get the mail. On the way back in though, I tripped and fell on top of the doorjam, biting through my lip, and gaining a few splinters in the process. So we rush to the emergency room, who promptly start to yell at us for bringing me in, because I was crying too much, and had the chicken pox and could get everyone else sick. But what could we do? I was bleeding like crazy from my mouth, and if we didn't come I would have pieces of wood stuck in my mouth still today! But they took me in, and now all I have is a neat scar.

When I was four or five, I had a similar biting-through-lip experience, and I have a scar from that too (naturally). I do remember about bleeding a lot.

Eh, I was too young to remember it, apparently I was hallucinating during that time anyway, so I wouldn't remember much even if I could. I'm glad though. Wouldn't want to remember it.

When I was younger, that is, in my college days, we passed the time playing a very early version of DROD that some of you may be familiar with. This was surely the predecessor of the modern epic we enjoy today.
Gameplay was simple back then. To start we would quietly approach the kitchen of the decrepit all-we-could-afford-in-those-days flat (or dungeon if you will), flip on a light switch and Voila! Smite-time! Weapons were various and moddable, the most popular being a folded up copy of ones' periodical of choice or some type of athletic footwear. Techniques were mostly from the hack and slash school although some had success with the occasional backswipe. Judging by the roach behaviour we were mainly dealing with queens resulting in furious pursuit and work in the corners.
Scoring and Challenges were combined back then, as in, "Hey, I just got two at once! Beat that!" There was no High Score table in the old version. Curiously, no one was ever able to defeat a room. In addition, the rooms would restore themselves overnight back to their start condition. Tough game.
All the while we participated in a lively Discussion Forum favoring terse and to-the point commentary in the order of "Eeww", "Gross", "That's nasty" and "I'm moving tomorrow".
Throw in the wraithwing-like flying things living in the attic, the odd spider, and the evil eyes on a greckle grubbing landlord and you had yourself some good old classic gaming. Apparently copies of this gem abound worldwide but most people, given the opportunity, opt for the updated version so popular today.

When I was younger--no, wait, I was so much older then; I'm younger than that now.

I never was that young - just like everybody else...
