Curious what everyone considers their greatest accomplishment in life so far. Mine is obviously the creation of this thriving community of intellectual titans.
Basically, feel free to brag about yourself in this thread.
My sophomore year at OU, I did a minute and 7 second keg stand at #fest (think it was 7 fest?). It was the best time for the remainder of the day.
I was at 7 Fest. Very muddy, correct? I saw the most insane one punch knockout of my life. Guy in a Beckham Galaxy jersey got rekt.
I scammed my way into getting a job in NYC while living in my parents basement in Ohio.
1 time Beermitton Champion and 2X Beermitton runner-up in the three times entering the tournament.
1. not having a kid in HS
2. Not catching a STD while accomplishing #1
Our three kids, hands down...all college graduates, all successful in their respective areas of work, all with families of their own (our youngest is expecting their first child, our fifth grandchild, in November)...our hearts couldn't be fuller.
Inaugural and now 2 time and currently reigning Head Shotz World Champion.
My wife and my two sons. Very Blessed.
My wife.

The dump I took this morning.
I have accomplished nothing and I plan on achieving nothing as I wither away.

If I'm being truly honest, I am very proud of the work I've done at my current job, and the team that I am a part of. Our program is a pretty big deal, and it's very rewarding to be a part of it.
My two kids...boring but true
A bit more exciting...I was District Track coach of the year and our school didn’t have a track
Random greatness...I could assemble a dozen Big Macs in 29 seconds
I shot a 65 on a par 71 golf course at age 18

Happened 2 nights ago. Sat down at Craps table in Vegas with $100. Moved onto Blackjack at 4:00am when they closed that table. Went up to room at 10:45am because checkout was 11:00. Gambled in Vegas for 14 straight hours and never had to reach back into the wallet. Only ended up a few hundred in the end, but lasting that long was amazing to me.
Free drinks probably put me up closer to $2k lolol.
Came out of softball retirement tonight. Hit a three run single.

Mine is probably similar to this. Took a risky lower paying job ~4 yrs ago at a small start up in SF. Long hours, working on the weekends, etc.. but it helped excelerate my career. Got to work with really smart people and help grow the business 32x over the 4 yrs has been very rewarding and cool to be a part of.
Either that or moving out of my mom's house at 21 yrs old [in the height of the recession, 2009] to a city I had only been to once as a 12 yr old with no leads and about $5k to my name. No real work exp or safety net but through sheer hustle figuring it out, never having to borrow money from my mom or move back home.
I'm still one step away from the show, but I just got a Jeopardy audition that I'm pretty excited for next month.
