- Won a 99-minute round of Super Smash Bros. (MattyDub and I played only because that's how high the timer went, and we wanted to see if we could do it).
- Watched all three Lord of the Rings' movies in one sitting (extended versions).
- After a 3.5-day fast, finished an entire El Champion plus chips and salsa. (Though I didn't eat anything else for another 24 hours).
- Can play the theme songs of Laputa, Crystalis, and Firefly.
- Once out-ate a guy twice my size on a trip to Mexico. I finished his dinner for him too. The next morning, while he was cradling his belly and waving off breakfast, I made a fat burrito and ate it in front of him with a smile.
So that's mine. What lame accomplishments are you proud of?
1. Won a watermelon eating contest against my dad and a bunch of other grown men when I was 14 or 15.
ReplyDelete2. Watched the entire run of band of brothers in a 16hr period (Also did the LOTR extended in one go).
3. Bowled a 207 at about 11 p.m. to ice an all day random challenge championship... I don't bowl.
4. As the only American I out-drank 15 Aussies, Brits, Irish, and South Africans and kept pace with 2 others in a century challenge on a beach in Greece (very stupid, but still brings a smile.)
5. Peed for two minutes straight, solid stream and officially timed.
6. Beat my older brother in a martial arts tournament.
Okay, that last one was legit but the others can be included, to varying degrees, in the lame category.
#3 makes me think of reptiles, for some reason. :)
ReplyDeleteUm, I saw Star Wars 33 times (in the theatre)?
I really can't compete here. :)
dude! you can really put away the food!

ReplyDeleteOne of my sisters tried to enroll me in a 12-step program for my reading addiction a couple of years ago.
ReplyDeleteI can make an octopus out of balloons.
I can, and often do, out-eat my husband.
ReplyDeleteI max leveled all my characters and got their ultimate weapons in FF VIII, also, I got all the best cards in that freaking awful card game.
And, uh, I live in one of the best mountain ranges for snow sports and have never been skiing or snowboarding.
I can wrap my ankles behind my neck.
ReplyDeleteI once abseiled down the side of a building in order to shaving-cream a rival lab group's windows for Hallowe'en.
As a kid, I did the flexed arm hang (i.e. dangle from a bar by your hands with your chin hovering over, but not resting upon, the bar) for over a minute.

ReplyDelete2. In 10 years of marriage, I've had 12 kids.
