my backyard neighbor and I played chicken all the time as kids. one time he bet me I would be too chicken to let him throw from across the yard. about 30 ft away. sure, if it's my turn next.. I stood there watching that cheap grocery store 8" hunting knife spinning as it arched across the yard towrds me. lucky toss because the knife stuck in the ground between my big and second toe without hitting meat. as usual, the "you go first and I'll go next" promise was broken once again because before I could yell MY TURN.. the chickenshiite bastage ran off home and wouldn't play anymore. story of my life!!! every time we devised something dangerous and stupid to do, it was always "you go first and I'll go next. I promise". if I survived... depending on high how up the "bet you won't do it" scale of potential serious injury/massive blood loss probabilty.... I was usually first, last and only one performing the stunt du jour. fun times!
