I've been inside every provincial jail in Saskatchewan (Canadian province). Makes for a fun moment when class or work introductions come up and you get the "Tell us something interesting about yourself" question.
"I've spent time in half a dozen jails" usually draws some neat looks. It doesn't help that if my hair is buzzed down and my tats are showing, it looks like I was a guest, rather than an employee. (Y2K meant making sure their dumb terminals would work and updating PCs with patches... good times).

When I was in grade 8 (about 13 years old) I attended a boy's youth group at a local church. A game that was usually played at that group was a variant of dodgeball called Murderball. (When you're hit, you don't sit out, you stand against the enemy team's wall, and to get back in you have to catch a ball thrown by your team)
It's not quite unusual for the game to end up with one person left on one team, while the other team is a full strength- due to usually the younger guys at the group are more spry and therefore can dodge better, but can't throw as well. Anyways, this one particular evening, I was that guy, all by myself against like 20 other dudes like 16 and older. I threw a ball in blind hope that I would get one of them out and it turned out I had sucessfully recussitated the Youth leader on their wall, back into play. One by one over the course of like 15 minutes eventually our team was restored to full strength and the other team started to dwindle. Eventually we won, even though it came close to a flawless defeat. It was awesome.

During a football game I headbutted a guy so hard I bent half his facemask in, If you've ever played on the offensive line you know that you can get away with a lot of shit.
I also squatted 775lbs once, racked the weight walked out from the squat rack and passed out from the blood that had rushed to my head going up.

well... many quasi-badass things have been performed by me
As an infant i laughed when i got a needle!(i am not a masochist)
got my chin sliced pretty bad and didnt even notice.
waited outside in -30 celcious for an hour
i got into a bit of a miscommunication with this morbidly obese guy, when he charged me i tossed him aside.

Once I was performing on stage when I spied a reasonably-well-known female singer in the front row. We had one of those eyes-locking moments and then I went into the crowd mid-song with my instrument still on and started kissing her and playing with her hair. She was into it, it was cool. Best thing was I didn't miss a note. Later on I found out her boyfriend (also a reasonably well-known guy in a band) was right behind her in the audience and he didn't even mind, I shook his hand later and he told me how much he enjoyed the show.
I walked out of the library through the door marked "no exit". Oh wait I think the time I ran onto the train while the doors were closing and got inside just in time tops that. lol
I doubt there will be many others who have risked their lives or killed for a cause, so maybe you're right.
Sure, risking your life for a cause is badass, but not always completely. Being indoctrinated into being a hired killer for the government is the opposite of being an awesome intellectual badass like Julian Assange or Ghandi who were against violence committed by hired killers.Pielikey said:

One time, in secondary school. (High school for Americans) I got sucker punched three times by a guy who was much stronger and bigger than me. I then proceded to hit the ground hard enough to chip one of my teeth. (The tooth is currently still chipped) I then blacked out for about 3 - 5 seconds whilst on the ground.
I then stood up and walked (unaided) to the nurses office. I volunterily visited a drop-in clinic later on that day, but looking back on it, I'm amazed I stood up that quickly and with no brain damage or lasting effects. Apart from my tooth.

Not to brag but I'm pretty badass... I just can't recall anything particular.
Maybe not completely badass, but at my brother's bachelor party I drunken boxed against the bride's uncle.
Things are starting to heat up... and suddenly I wake up on the concrete floor we boxed on. I can't quite remember, but I went (very, very drunk and groggy. I had been knocked out and faceplanted on a concrete floor after all) along the lines of:
"... Crap, did I go down?"
"Yeah, you both went down?"
"I got him also? Woohoo!"
At the hospital they classified my injuries as a "concussion, broken tooth and a severe Donald Duck bump".
Best thing was that the whole thing got videotaped.

At a card night with some mates I did in a bottle of scotch with some bourbon after it and still ended up winning.
I then stumbled out of the place, walked right to the edge of an 8-foot drop into an open sewer, swayed like an idiot and then jumped in.
Uninjured, I clambered up the other side, successfully withdrew money from an ATM and had a kebab before walking the rest of the way home.

In high school, I had the whole football team afraid of me.
In middle school, I managed to somehow create a faux legend of myself being a backyard wrestler. the kind of guy that would be hardcore enough to take a razorblade to his hairline, ala ric flair. I got challenged by a member of the wrestling team to face him, and I managed to go a full 10 minutes with out getting pinned (And even though I was clearly outwrestled, I had a huge spot where I lefted him up over my head which was all anyone cared about)
Good thing too. A lot of those guys could of killed me. (Seriously, I kept a razor on me every day just incase in a moment of attack I'd have to scare them off by cutting my own hair line.)

Most badass moment of my life is one of these two you can choose for yourself. 1. I was on a hunting trip and my me and my guide had waited all day for anything to show up, finally 60 seconds before sun up a 12 point buck shows up, aftre I get my gun back up and my guide okays me for the kill we can no longer see it, it had gotten too dark, but I fired anyway and when we went to see if I hit anything we found the 12 point shot right through the heart. 2. I forgot my I.D. one day so I couldn't go into this club wth my friends (I looked young I was 18) so I went around back, ran up the back alleyway wall to a fire escape, then climbed up to the roof and found a way into the club.
Snarked during martial arts just so that my teacher would give me harder training (he did, and was perplexed why I wasn't in an insane asylum), and once I had a guy five times my strength charge me because I snarked to him about how terribly he handled something... as his girlfriend came in I just kinda caught his face with my hand and move him out of my way... onto the floor. It was fast enough he thought I was under him till he noticed me standing over him asking if he was alright (I used more force than I'd meant, I don't really try to harm guys that are pissed at me for good reasons unless they are way outta line, or I'm in serious danger). Then I left the room and hugged his girlfriend, talked to him like normal and everything. We were a strange group of friends.
And yeah, army-man up there takes the cake.

Back in high school I usually just kept to myself, CMCPO of my schools NJROTC. Had a small group of friends and a friendly rivalry with a guy in my Physics class. You know, normal right? Well here's were it gets interesting.
The three days before Virgina Tec. happened me and that dude in my physics class were throwing around the usual insults and such, didn't mean anything anyways. Few days pass, were all taking our TAKS tests when in comes one of the VP's with a cop...wanting to see me. I'm later in his office being told that I'm being suspended pending and investigation "being an imminent threat to the school". You can imagine how confused I am at this point. So I don't get to finish two of my TAKS tests and now I'm being investigated. I come back to school after the three days only to find that the VP hasn't done an investigation so I'm still a "threat". I'm put into ISS for two weeks so he can gather info. I'm supposed to get work from my classes but two weeks pass, no investigations ,no class work, and I later found out that my teachers have no idea where I am. So now I can be kicked from school for being absent/failing.
By this time my folks finally listen to me and get a lawyer. After another couple of weeks we finally get a hearing..only its an expulsion hearing. Turns out the VP had nothing, fake file folder and no case. Turns out someone "said" that I said "something" which made me a "threat".
A few days passes and I'm headed back to school wearing my nice RO uniform and the VP confronts me in the bus lot, by this time a lot of people knew what happened to me. Well smug guy, and starts talking to me about how I "have a problem with authority" and such.
This is where I finally lose my cool with the jerk*** and punch him in the face, twice. Should have seen the look on his poor face. I picked up my pack, fixed my cuffs, and headed to morning flag detail. Setting that guy straight, blooding him up a little, AND getting away with it cemented my badassery with my friends and school mates.
I just got tired of that smug bastard talking.

I stopped my house from burning down. I was about to leave for school, and noticed that the green waste bin was now a burning plastic pile. I ran to the hose, and put the fire out just as it was about to light up the ivy which runs along the wall and into the roof of my house. Then I went to school, and got in trouble for being late to class.
I'll be honest though, I may have caused it all by putting the left over ashes from the fireplace into the bin. They were cold and dead, I swear!
