LOL, having flashbacks to the first time I tried a go-kart. I cut a corner too close and wound up wedging the front of the cart on a raised embankment. Since the back end was sticking out into the turn, they had to stop everyone on the course and come over to help me lift it off the embankment.

I was there on a date, by the way. Not my smoothest moment.

OMG nostalgia! I lived not even 20 minutes from there when I was a kid. I almost got killed in the parking lot there on the 4th of July once when a firework exploded right after launch and sent fiery fragments out into the crowd (one of them smashed the windshield of the car next to me). I also remember totally wanting to go on the Cannonball loop but my parents wouldn't let me (in hindsight probably a good decision on their part).

Motorworld there was awesome--it was across the street from Action Park and I think run by the same people. They had these cage-enclosed go-karts tanks equipped with compressed-air tennis ball cannons and sensors that stopped the tanks temporarily if they got hit by a tennis ball. You could pay to drive the tanks around inside an enclosed arena or you could also shoot at the tanks from the outside of the arena using air-cannon turrets that required quarters to operate. Tons of fun.

Mostly, though, I went to the water park, which according to Wikipedia had the most casualties. I got a fair amount of scrapes from the waterslides and I can totally see how people could get seriously injured on some of them.

Landing at Kai Tak airport was pretty cool.. it seemed that quite a bit of the final approach was below the level of the nearby apartments It was only ever the most experienced pilots who were allowed to land there, since there wasn't a lot of margin for error.

I think it's a go-kart track now, but I haven't been back since it was decommissioned as an airport.

autoshop class

making go karts using old lawnmowers

checking sparkplug to see if its firing, my buddy is holding it in his hand, my other buddy yanks the chord to start lawnmower

he makes a "ungh" sound as his arms... both, the one holding the spark plug and the one not, go straight up in the air like a ref signalling a touchdown


i still laugh about it



then there was the time I electrocuted my physics teacher in grade 12 lol

air puck with string of beads down hose so based on frequency you could create data points on a piece of paper as the puck travelled in an arc (table was slightly elevated so there was a slope)... you engage the electricity by stepping on a pedal



he called me over to look at something, stepped fully on the pedal while he was holding the puck in his hand lol

i was oblivious, my buddy figured it out because he was looking at my teacher and had heard the zap, zap, zap, zap... the teacher was getting shocks but held onto the puck, trying to figure out what was going on... until finally he threw the puck... the beads in the tube came apart, funnelled out the tube and had to be rethread



by my buddy, not me lol

It's slightly sad seeing tracks in that state, knowing how much hard work went into laying them.
On that same token, nice to see people still find ways to appreciate them.


I used to walk down a railroad near me once every few weeks. Went on for absolutely miles and miles, i joined it from the village nearby and followed it for 8 miles or so then turned back, didn't reach the end. It weaved through all the busy areas around here and ended up being one of the most serene and enjoyable nature walks i've had, on a deserted railroad overgrown with plants and stuff.

They barricaded it a few months ago, no one's allowed on it anymore.

I was gonna say the same thing about your mother.>> ^Mammaltron:
