JenIg vs. The Monster Tree Swing, Part Deaux
JenIg vs. The Monster Tree Swing, Part Deaux
Due to overwhelming requests, I’ve decided to post the infamous Tree Swing Debacle.
However, I have to say that something is seriously wrong with some of you people for wanting to see it. So without further ado, here is the Top Secret video of when I was slammed into the side of a mountain which ultimately resulted in my pants being pulled to my knees. In front of a crowd. My daughter, Ryann, was kind enough to put it together for your viewing pleasure. I hope you appreciate my graceful, flexible, ballerina-like, acrobatic moves.

OH! You are so uber-MEAN!!! Where's the rest of it? While the screaming laughing is completely hilarious…surely there is MORE?! Now I know what Gena means when she said you tormented her. *humph*
By the way, there is NO WAY I would go on a crazy-too-high-and-too-fast-tire-tree-swing like that! Unless, of course, someone double-dog-dared me.
Okay, off to Coie's blog to see if she'll spread the joy…<i>all</i> of it…
Love,
Marshie who sees past your *ahem*…that's probably where the best part is…

ahem…
Oh my, that’s all I can say, oh my…
I have had no such moments… that anyone can prove… (we don’t have a video camera and maybe instead of saving up for one I should avoid the whole moving picture proof possibility…)
Does it still hurt? Or can you look back on it and laugh yet?
Have a good one,

Ahem… is right! What are you crazy! I would never!! Not especially with a crowd watching. I am not very adventourous so you would never see me swinging fromt he trees. I like my feet on level ground!
On another note — We need to plan another bloggers picnic. What day works best for you and Gena cause you girls have got to be thre with your chips and Genas fabulous homemade guacomole

You know, you’re actually supposed to land on you’re feet. (but don’t worry. I didn’t one time and now I have a weird funny lookin’ slug of a scar on my knee to prove it.)

Extreme Tire Swinging
You made that look like a sport. There is no way I would have ever done that, I’m way too big of a chicken. And then to post it online for all to see, you are a brave woman. ; -)

Love ya!

Can't see it…
Well I can’t figure out why I can’t see it. Oh well! Probably better that way.

Wait, where’s the rest??!!
*laughter* Not that I didn’t enjoy the screaming. Er, I mean, not ENJOY the screaming, but appreciate its amusing quality. Um. Not that it’s funny that you were screaming, either. I mean, under normal circumstances.
Oh, foo. Could you just post the *ahem* part? 😉

um, wow
All I can say is that your insanity must have reached an all-time high. Either that or you are very brave. That must be it. Yeah, I think that you must have some secret super hero identity. Super Girl maybe. Don’t worry I won’t tell a soul. Promise.

Really what’s the point of putting up a video that doesn’t show you ripping you pants? You’re just trying to cheat us out of our good fun! ; ) Hope you’re doing well. God Bless!

What form! What grace! What… GUTS!!! That reminds me of the poor, misfortunate bug that hit the windshield… he never had the guts to try that again. 🙂 Glad you survived your death-defying stunt, Ms. Jen-Evel Knieval.

Need some help!
I can’t comment under my username, because I can’t log in! I can see my blog page, but I can’t log in to add any more entries. I know we are supposed to post log in problems on the forum, but it won’t let me post on the forum without logging in! Every time I log in, I get ” the page cannot be displayed”. I changed my password yesterday( or the day before) and was able to log in. Tried changing the password again this morning, but it’s not working this time.
Help!

Okay… I am totally for running a “contest” for the best story ending to this (no bun intended…) as if you were one of the “innocent bystanders”. djf;asldkjf;lfksdj;lskdfj;;… I’ll share mine first.
I saw the whole thing! One moment Jen was screaming in glee and giggling in delight, and the next she was flailing like a fish out of water! She lost control of herself and HER PANTS! To add to this unfortunate turn of events, she had recently made the decision to change her grouchy, non-valentine-celebrating ways after reading Amy’s SHMILY Time blog’s entry on The Drawer of Many Blessings and surprise her husband. With her suprise purchase on, she couldn’t wait until they would arrive home later that night, but because Jen has never been one to back down to a dare… there she now stood… in stunned silence. Never one for silence and always one for a good laugh, she shoved humiliation and pride aside and looking at her dazed husband yelled, “SURPRISE!!”
I have to tell you… I don’t think I would’ve handled that nearly as dignified as that! What a gal!!!!!!
Love ya Jen!

Oh big wup! By “crashing into the side of a mountain,” I was envisioning a dramatic scene of a Mt. Everest climber, dropping down 100 feet of rope, and smacking into a sheer rock face at 50 miles an hour! I was **NOT* envisioning some “graceful, ballerina-like” homeschool mom, hanging onto a tire for dear life and getting dragged along a couple feet of mud on the side of a slope!!!! Talk about “literary license”!!!!
Thanks for sparing us the gory details, I’m sure it was a riot for all in attendance. Thankfully, there is no film of me doing a cartwheel and ripping out the pants of the tux when I was in Joe’s wedding party in ’88!

What you need is some tough love.
Well, I feel sorry for you, truly. But then again, it’s your own fault. A few less fruits and veggies and a few more biscuits, and you’d have the curves to keep your pants on, for Pete’s sake!

You have the best blog. You’re pretty brave for holding on to the tire, I would have lost my pants and a lot of skin along with it!
on September 1st, 2006 at 8:00 am
That was great!
Hey. At least you were brave enough to try it. You made great memories for your kids!!
Come check out my Friday Funny. I think you will like it. 🙂

Awesome! We had a swing like that out over a cliff in front of our house in TN – actually, I guess it’s still there. We never did take it down before we left. Thanks for sharing, Ryann! Karen
