So what silly, small, or petty accomplishments are you secretly proud of?

[Godhumor]

For me it's beating expert level of Minesweeper (99 bombs) in 199 seconds. I find myself wishing there was a professional Minesweeper league to compete in.

[buzzard]

1. Just got my Padi open water diver, no more resort certification n/t

[enigmatic]

2. Having an awesome Soulpatch

At least that's what the woman who I served a beer to said:D

[Fleshdancer]

3. I have rhythm

I didn't work to get it, I didn't practice and yet there it is. Turn the music on and I can instantly move to the beat without embarrassing myself. :D

[MilesColtrane]

[MissMillie]

[Road Scholar]

[MissMillie]

5. I ran a 10K

7. I managed to make an essay justification of

The Plymouth Agreement (a colonial document) as a valid Constitution, rather than just a simple compact. I dunno if my argument will fly with the Professor, but I was extremely proud of myself for pulling it off. :hi:

[MilesColtrane]

9. Getting the highest SAT score in my graduating class, despite being barely...

...above the middle grade wise.

My high school can suck it.

[Radical Activist]

11. Every time I win a free game at Adams Family pinball.

Its one of the more difficult pinball games out there and it took me a very long time before I could win a free game. Now I win a free game maybe 1/3 of the time I play it. I'm very proud of myself for this. :)

[Godhumor]

16. Pinball related successes are great; I also feel the same way about air hockey

I was never very good at the Addams Family machine but I rocked the hell out of the Star Wars one.

Air Hockey is the greatest non-sport in a family environment you can participate in. I am ashamed to admit I trash talk in air hockey.

[Radical Activist]

18. don't be ashamed

i always trash talk air hockey. its part of the fun.

[fizzgig]

46. that is my favorite pinball game ever

i used to rock at that game but i can't find it anywhere now

[Phillycat]

If I could make money from Tetris, I'd be a gajillionaire.

[Omphaloskepsis]

25. For me, it is being one of the more popular bass players on youtube

500+ subscribers and hundreds of thousands of views....all for me playing along with Rush, Primus, 311, etc. in my living room wearing pajamas.

They even made a website and a musicians youtube club based on my idea of "Living Room Rock Gods"

[hisownpetard]

26. It's edifying to me that, having gone out on a limb with a post about Bill Clinton

(before I'd heard anyone express such an opinion), it seems to be all the talk on TV now
and in the press.

Feels good to have gotten in under the radar, before the hub-bub 'bout Bubba abounded.

[Coyote_Bandit]

27. Minesweeper in 147

Still have the bmp copy of the screen shot. I probably have between 15 and 20 screen shots of minesweeper wins below 200. Yeah, I need to get a life....

[Godhumor]

35. That's great! Now I have a new goal to shoot for...

I'm pretty certain I will not be doing that anytime soon, however.

[porphyrian]

31. I'm openly proud of my silly, small and petty accomplishments. Ask me anything. -n/t

[BrotherBuzz]

32. I used to walk from telephone pole to pole on the wires

Most of my friends chickened out, but a few fools would follow me. I guess that stunt was somewhere between daring and stupid, but it was an accomplishment nevertheless. :shrug:

[MrScorpio]

33. Winning every comic book convention art contest I've ever entered

At least I got paid

[lost-in-nj]

34. .....

I wake up in the morning


lost

[Godhumor]

36. I'm replying to myself, I know, but something just happened that I'm ridiculously proud of

I just changed out a corroded car battery on a 2000 Ford Taurus in the dark and during a snowfall. The screws holding the shield in place were pretty much rusted to the battery itself, and the entire ordeal took around 95 minutes with the tools I happened to have in the trunk of my car. I'm still giddy the damn thing caught on the first cold start.

[opiate69]

Don't worry. I released the majority of them back where they came from.

[hippywife]

40. My cooking.

My husband thinks I'm the best cook ever.

[Oeditpus Rex]

41. Committing stuff like this to memory:

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant who was very rarely stable
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar who could think you under the table
David Hume could out-consume Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel*
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine who was just as sloshed as Schlegel

There's nothin' Nietzsche couldn't teach ya 'bout the raisin' of the wrist
Socrates himself was permanently pissed

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will, on half a pint of shandy was particularly ill
Plato, they say, could stick it away — half a crate of whiskey every day
Aristotle, Aristotle was a beggar for the bottle; Hobbes was fond of his dram
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart: "I drink, therefore, I am"

Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed
A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed



...and many, many more. :)



*Per the version on "The Monty Python Matching Tie and Handkerchief" LP. In their stage performances, it was "Schopenhauer and Hegel."

42. My softball team won a championship

In the days of my youth, I was the player/manager of a softball team that won three championships. That was so much fun and it was a real kick to take home those trophies.

48. I've did 43 triathlons, and no one at my work had any idea I was athletic.

This might be more of a secret than and accomplishment.

[Godhumor]

49. I'd say it is a private accomplishment

I have one like that too where very few people know I speak Japanese. Of course, I think your's is much more impressive. I'd be quite proud of that, too.

[lightningandsnow]

50. High score in "Sweet Tooth" at pogo.com

Over 7,000 points in one round.

I love pointless puzzle games.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

51. That game is godly.

Fuck, I used to be a Pogo addict. Haven't played there in about 6 years. ;) My favorite game was Word Riot.

[Reverend_Smitty]
