Keep them true, or it loses meaning. I wanna hear (in brief) your greatest achievements, good or bad.
Mostly bad.
1. Got banned from church camp
2. Convinced good-looking sober women to hang up-side down naked from the roof of a gazebo and chug a beer. In January.
3. Gave my first sermon when I was 10, on Father's Day, Sunday morning (I've only given like 3 sermons though, and none since that church camp incident)
4. Beat Doom3 (literally, that took me long enough on that huge Guardian at the end, like months)

1. Thrown out of Rhode Island.
2. Drove 50 miles in a stick shift car with no brakes.
3. Broke into a church when I was 13 to find an underground railroad hiding spot. Turned myself in when my friend was caught.
4. Almost died of internal bleeding after the handlebars on my bicycle got me in the spleen when I was 10.

I was, at one stage, in the top 200 at Unreal Tournament (the 1999 one).
I got thrown out of the British museum at the age of 4 for crawling under the ropes of an exhibit and sitting on some ludicrously famous chair (Queen Victoria's favourite chair or something) - it was comfy, I remember that much.
*edits*
Also took 20 free pens from a bank one time. I'm so gangsta it's unbelievable.

I was hit by a semi truck, and spent a month and a day in the hospital, 8 of which were in the ICU. I got my right clavical broken, all the ribs on my right side broken, fractured skull, collapsed lung, some brain damage, a paralyzed vocal cord (from the brain damage), vertebrae 6 & 8 had their fins broken off, and vertebrae 7 was severely compressed. I had to wear a back brace for about 2 months, and I'm still not allowed to run.

Duke TIP National Recognition (for those who haven't heard of Duke TIP, read: I got 1360 out of 1600 in seventh grade on a test [SAT] where the average college-bound high school senior scored ~1000)
Four-time, unbeaten state champion in a grade-level science competition.
Individual regional qualifier in a similar science competition where I was competing against seniors... also largely responsible for my team's wild-card entry in the event. (Note: this was in my and only first year of competition in said event)
U.S. Biology Olympiad Semifinalist (one of the top 600 scores in the event)
All-but-certain National Merit Semifinalist, with a shot at making Finalist
Scored 2280 out of 2400 on the new version of the SAT (perfect score in Math)
Made a 34 composite score on the ACT (maximum composite score is 36), with a perfect score in Science

Not as good as it sounds. I was trying to find a hotel in Rhode Island and every one I went to was booked up. The hours got later and I got more exhausted and irritable. I ended up going the wrong way down on a one way street and came head to head with a police car. After a bunch of time wasted, the officer told me that there were plenty of hotels on the other side of the bridge. I saw the sign, "Now Leaving Rhode Island" as I crossed it.
The short version is much better.

Holy crap, where do I begin?
1) I had to be rescued from chest-deep mud by firefighters and rescue workers when I was sixteen.
2) In college, I took three kicks to the groin from a blackbelt martial artist and remained on my feet to win a $500 bet. I lost it trying to double it on the fourth kick. :(
3) After passing out at a party, I woke up naked and duct-taped to another naked man in a compromising position.
4) To my knowledge, I am still banned for life from Holiday Inns.
5) I have been a human hotdog.

3: went awol at once when I was a kid, got my parents worried sick, and had the police go and find me (bad, if it wasn't obvios)
4: walked around 2 miles to get almost all of the way home from school at age 7 (this is no exxageration, I was in a school in a different district from where I lived in at the time), before being found by dad, still throdding away, and the sidewalks in that area, even today, are somewhere between bad, and non existent.

After all that bragging, although I firmly believe that standardized tests largely measure one's ability to take standardized tests, I simply couldn't resist the urge to point out that I got a composite 36. Hee hee. :p

2. On Halloween while I was in basic training, I and many others dressed up as women or various other characters using the few materials available to us, and then went to the Drill Sgts office to trick or treat. As you may imagine, this did not go over well.
3. Banged the preacher's daughter in his chair in his office at church, during a lock-in (sleepovers we used to do as a youth group at the church)
4. Scored 1390 on the SAT (for the academic people)

I got kicked out of church once, not just asked to leave, but they took my name off the roll books and everything.
I got kicked out of numerous classes in highschool, once for trying to explain to my US history teacher that there were NOT 52 states in the USA and that Texas didn't "still belong to Mexico"
I have been clean and sober going on 7 years.
I gave birth to a genius (and only after 65 hours of labor ;))
Once I flipped my car 6 times and walked away without injury. :D (in case anyone wants to know it was a 79 Camaro, which is not easy to flip in the first place)
I have lived through direct hits of 4 tornadoes

More importantly, I let out a burp that could be clearly heard from approximately 100 meters away. I have eaten 18 pancakes in one sitting (not small ones, either). I have drunk four liters of soda pop in an hour and a half. I have farted in a girl's face and still had her making out with me fifteen minutes later (attractive girl, no alcohol or anything involved).;)

1) Was the only white guy at a black family reunion in Oakland.
2) Have been found alone, skull barely missed by a club, chased by and escaped from riot police.
3) Failed in a rescue attempt where a victim drowned (nearly drowning myself) only to see him revived 40 minutes later.
4) Have saved several lives and gotten a physician's license to practice revoked as an emergency operator (pre 911)
5) Had a policeman shout at me and a carload of friends "Move your car or go to jail!" then had half spontaniously start shouting (like on a game show) "move your car!" and "go to jail!" while I held my head crying "I can't decide!" I ended up doing neither. (door number three?)
6) Met said policeman's niece a month later. Did the deed with her.
7) Worked at a top 40 radio station.
8) Played in a very popular local club band... at the age of 17.
9) Confronted someone in his own home who was considerably larger than me who had been beating his gf... and walked out unscratched.
10) Strolled around the trading floor of the NYSE without restriction and sat at the table in their executive boardroom as a guest.
11) Went to an armory as a civilian (with long hair and bluejeans) and was handed a fully automatic M-16.
12) Turned down a chance to jam with Tesla. (in 1986 - before they were a big deal)

7) Worked at a top 40 radio station.
8) Played in a very popular local club band... at the age of 17.
9) Confronted someone in his own home who was considerably larger than me who had been beating his gf... and walked out unscratched.
10) Strolled around the trading floor of the NYSE without restriction and sat at the table in their executive boardroom as a guest.
11) Went to an armory as a civilian (with long hair and bluejeans) and was handed a fully automatic M-16.
12) Turned down a chance to jam with Tesla. (in 1986 - before they were a big deal)
I'm sure I could think of more. I just put down the more interesting or stuff most likely to surprize the people who think they know me.
You? Chased by riot police? What were you protesting, long hair?

I've reduced a rail road car to 2' by 2' pieces of scrap metal.
You? Chased by riot police? What were you protesting, long hair?
ROFLMAO! No - I actually was sporting quite the mane at the time. I was covering the riot for the student press. (Don't be impressed - they assigned me the story of covering any trouble because they really weren't expecting any - I was only too pleased to oblidge - I hated my Major at that point. I ended up with the story of the year by a fluke.
As I approached the police were directing traffic supposedly around it. When I turned one corner about 50 yards ahead of me a fucking SEA OF PEOPLE came running around the next corner. I was in a 65 Mustang convertible - top down - of course. I jammed it into reverse and drove backwards ahead of the mob which was running at full speed down the street. They were gaining on me so I did a trick turn - backwards - into a long driveway which went between a fence and an apartment. I killed the lights then watched the mob run past like a rushing river. I thought it was clear and was relieved when the rit police showed up. I approached one and asked where the staging area was. He asked for my press pass. Upon reflection my answer could have been better. You see - a press pass is something issued for large planned events. Riots seldom are - this one certainly wasn't. So - asking for a press pass was sorta like asking someone for a ticket to get onboard a liferaft. My response was "I didn't realize you all were issuing press passes for this riot - where do I sign up?". It was at that point that I noticed his heavy breathing, sweating and crazed look in his eyes. Without thinking I ducked and felt as his baton caught a few of the hairs on top of my head. I ran, they followed. There was an open door and I went in. The people there - who I have never met before or since - slammed it behind me and bolted it. The cops beat on the door for a while before they found someone else easier to beat on. I had another colleague from the paper who was dragged from his car by his hair and beaten. Lucky for him the news caught it on video.
That, kiddies, is one of the many experiences where I developed such a distate for our vast and complex laws and over-reaching law enforecement. There were many stories of police brutality - but not one of the riot participants being brutal to anyone. In fact - at one point some students tackeled a man who was about to beat a cop who had fallen down.
This all happened before the internet - back in 89-90. It was a pretty big story at the time - in fact CNN even 'borrowed' much of my story for their reports.
Here is all I could find about it anymore;

I have broken (fractured) my right hand and left wrist at different time.
Off the same "Gutbuster" competition on Baldwin St. Dunedin, NZ, I have at two different times, won a PS2 and won a trip for two up to Wellington for two.
And then there is all the tests I manage to do well on despite not studying. Except for maths:(
1. Was once run out of Leesburg, Va.
2. Returned the next day with my father having forgotten the incident
3. Have driven under the influence of various different substances (not recommended)
4. Have dated 2 girls who cut themselves (not recommended)
5. Was mistaken for a wanted drug dealer.
6. I have hang glided before
7. Have had at least 5 girls (by latest count) threaten to castrate me
8. Helped a friend run away from his parents
9. Miraculously got away with something that would have undoubtedly expelled me from high school at the time, precluded me from attending the college I am in now, and prevented me from voting in some states, and put me in jail for some time. (Also not recommended)
10. Told an anorexic girl she was fat. (Uncalled for but funny at the time)
11. Won money off a priest in a bet.
I might add more if I feel like it...

I was voted "Most likely to end up in jail" at my high school formal.
....thats all I can think of.
Oh, I fell off a motorbike doing 60km/h once, and survived unscathed.
Was voted "most likely to lead a suicide cult"

2. Once tried Marijuana and despised it absolutely/refuse to do any other drugs (As a teen? OHMAIGOSH!)
3. Am thinking of going celibate until marriage.
4. I am agnostic
5. I wish to find a girl who is not going to be falling down drunk or high every weekend (my god, how do i live?)
6. I dance
All of this and I am a man? My:D lord.
EDIT: I have good reason for my celibacy idea. One, sex only complicates matters. Two, i figure i don't want a girl to lose her virginity to me/ break up with me so there is an awkward moment when her husband asks her. Three, teenage pregnancy is a terrifying idea to me. Four, I don't like STDs.

Because of wasting the gummy bears or because of turning them into the mold? The mold is a hardcore idea. I should make some and throw them in the girl's locker room.

I only studied one final exam in my high-school career: Physics 12. I taught myself electrostatics and magnetism the day before the exam.
Me and two of my friends made a seating plan for our Chem 11 class. Most of the movement was to accomodate us three, as we were places as far apart as possible. Apparently playing poker during the lesson was one of the teachers hot buttons.
Fell asleep during a test, still got an A.
Someone hacked my email and ask my English teacher (which I hated) to grad. I found out a month after grad (only really use it for MSN). Luckily the person did it a month and a half before, hopefully the teacher had forgotten about it.
Won the Fermat Math Competion in my school. Came ~750 in Canada.
Spent on my computer than I have on my car.
I wanted a helicopter for Xmas when I was 10.
Got kicked out of church

Went the wrong way on two one-way streets, consecutively, in the city I've lived in all my life
2nd place in a Science Olympiad event (ironically, it was the one I didn't study for at all)
TPed a house in broad daylight, while the TP-ees were home
Eaten several double cheese burgers and lots of fries and immediately after proceeded to swim an IM
Had friends forbidden to interact with me
Got the highest grade in freshman English despite spending the vast majority of class time reading the newspaper

Got accepted into the honors program at my uni
spent 6 nights canoeing down a river in the middle of nowhere (canada of course) with 5 other people and 6 1.75 litres of good canadian whiskey and couldn't drink the last two nights b/c we were out of booze

3. Yesterday I met a niece and nephew who are my adopted-brother's kids, the said brother who've I don't think I've met since I was a baby. The nephew, Zack, is a year younger than me, and Brianna is 3 years younger. I met them at a birthday party for my other nephew, who just turned 4. :eek:
4. Several times I've gotten my entire class to lose recess or get silent lunch for something I did, the most recent in 6th grade, when my (already) broken protactor fell apart and the teacher saw it. Thankfully, hardly anyone blamed me. And I spent most of the school year on silent lunch for different reasons.:( :headbang:
5. Was the only 4th grader to enter the school's Geography Bee at the time, then in 7th grade I got 3rd place in it, and in 8th I got 2nd (and it was the day after my 14th birthday too! :D )

1. Accidentally hit my 6th grade teacher upside the back of her head (when I was in 6th grade). At the end of the year, she moved to Germany. I have no proof, but I believe I am wholly responsible for the move.
2.Completely severed both bones in my forearm. Not like a hairline fracture. The were completely seperated. How? Tripping on the sidewalk. I got up, tried to realign my arm (it was forming a 110 degree angle, or so--one bone had actually broken thru the skin on my arm. I didnt see it, thankfully), and continued to walk to school, while screaming for help. I was so loud someone came out of their house and called an ambulance and my parents for me, even tho it was about 7:45 AM. One the plus side, when I went to the hospital, they gave me morphine, and later all kinds of painkillers. I left the hospital after 3 days. They gave me painkillers when I left. I never took any of them. I was too badass.
3. At a Phillies vs. Nationals game, booed one of the Phillies players when he went up to bat, because he couldnt catch a damn ball. (I am a Phillies fan.) Between innings after I booed him, an announcement came over the PA asking that fans not heckle individual players. I had been sitting in the 700 level seats. At the player's next at-bat, he hit a homerun. Good thing I got him into shape!
4. I once agreed to take someone I'd never met as an escort to protect me from STDs on a trip to India. I've never been to India, and have no plans to go. But just in case, I have a foolproof plan to keep me STD-Free.
5. I sent a boy a box of condoms as a gift. He had asked, after I told him I gave my sister condoms as a gift, for her to give around at school, to fight the teen pregnancy problem. I told the boy to make good use of them, despite having a very large crush on him.

Hell, this should be fun.
1. Hit by 2 AK rounds. Helmet and body armour (not UK Spelling so I had body armour that actually works) stopped them.
2. Nearly set off an PMR-1 (anti-personnel mine) with my chest diving for cover.
3. Refused a jolly flight in a Lynx helicopter. It crashed killing all 3 people on board.
4. Broke my neck in a motorbike crash and didn't find out until 14 months later.
Just qualified as a Physics and Maths teacher. I figure doing 2 six month (infantry) tours in war zones is good enough training for schools in Glasgow!

the Stars On 45 Medley (it was mostly bits and pieces of Beatles' songs). The problem with doing this online is I can't prove I'm doing it from memory, and not just looking it up.

yeah, and my friend who was with me did die! (he was facing stright forward, I took it all to one side.)
The semi was going about 63 mph and didn't even try to touch the brakes.
Sorry about your friend.. however you're not really supposed to hit the brakes when driving a truck at that speed.. it generally makes things worse when you jackknife and wipe out three lanes of traffic..
Anyway, I was gonna brag about all the dopes I've run off the road with a semi.. but that probably could wait for another occasion. :p

Well I don't know if they're to be believed because they are speedheads, but my uncles who drive trucks have told me that their companies tell them that if the trucker knows that he's going to cause an accident to try and make sure they kill the occupants because a death settlement is far less than an extended hospital and lifelong disability settlements are. Like I said though, they could have just been messing with my head.
Not all of us are on speed.. some of us prefer tranquilizers and booze.. :p
Seriously though.. I've never been told to actually try and kill someone, at least by the company. I've been told not to try and take evasive action past a certain speed, and I've been told to run down armed pedestrians (possible hijackers), but that's about it.

2. Got a 96 on my Algebra End of Course test. Algebra is a high school course where I live and I was in middle school at the time.
When I was in middle school, I took geometry (a year past algebra) at my local high school, and had the best grade in the class at the end of the year. My final grade was 103%, I aced the final and midterm, and most of the sophomores in the class copied off me.
1) An arab pilot tried to buy me for camels when we lived in the middle east
Hey, that happened to me (well, minus the pilot part) when I was in Cairo for a swim meet! I was with a bunch of the guys on my team and someone came up to them and offered to buy me for something like 50 camels and some goats. :p
EDIT: I happen to be IMing one of the guys that was there. Apparently he remembers the incident very well, and it was 40 camels and 5 goats.

Wow, I didn't think this thing still lived. Hmm.
1. Surfed 14 ft waves at Ocean Isle
2. Ate a whole taco in one bite
3. Have drank a case by myself in one very short night
4. Slept with *gasp* 69 women, and everyone knows it (and they weren't bad looking, although quite a few were drunk, as was I), by which I mean it is public knowledge. Let the FLAME BEGIN!!!!
I love living at the beach

3) Had sex with my friend's mother AND sister in the same school year.
4) Won the state championship at trumpet twice (out of two tries
5) Punched out my boss when I found out he was shorting me hours on my paycheck. (NEVER mess with a 6'3" 215 lb guy or his money, if you mess with my money it's like playing with my emotions.
6) Went on a Hunter S. Thompson-style drug binge my freshman year of college that took me through 3 countries and 9 states (road TRIP!!!)
7) Punched out a bouncer for calling me a "douche".... and got away with it.
8) Undefeated (8-0-1) in regional UFC bouts.
9) Undefeated (4-0-0) in youth boxing
10) Once made a 45 year old woman cry by calling her old.

1) Went into a merrily burning garage and backed the landladys car out of it until it was away from any imminent danger of explosion.
2) Drove overnight to represent a cave conservation organization at a Nature Conservancy open house, and while enroute, hit a deer, which upon impact had spun it around and caused it to defecate down the side of my car, messed up the front quarter-panel, and still showed up bright and early, in my freshly decorated instrument of death amongst the animal lovers and tree huggers.
3) Somehow managed to not be imprisoned for any appreciable amount of amount of time. (If you knew the rest of my family, you'd recognize this for the achievement it really is. I have one brother presently in federal prison, one is a state prison alumnus, and the other has been in and out of county lockups his entire life.)
4) Managed to keep his head and direct my driver back through miles of country to the nearest hospital after having his hand crushed by an iron cave gate and having one finger severed by said gate, whilst keeping pressure on my wrist so that I wouldn'r die from blood loss. And then, afterwards...... not attempting any lawsuits against either the lanowner who owned the property, or the cave conservancy which installed the gate, even though the gate had no safety catch preventing the gate from closing unexpectedly.

Dammit I wanna hear how someone got kicked out of a state! I mean, a church camp was cool, but a state is, is, is an epic footmark in the history of mischievous malpractice
That is cool. The closest I've managed was to get kicked out of Key Largo by the sheriff's department. We kept pretty much a whole hotel awake all night and were rather rude to the hotel staff, who called the sheriff's office to evict us. We didn't get busted for drugs because a quick thinking friend of mine slashed open a matress and hid the bag of cocaine and xanax inside it before the sheriff's deputies could get into the room. Sheriff's deputies told us we weren't welcome back on the island.

And that's nothing in my eyes - I finished the last Harry Potter book in three hours, and even Goblet of Fire took only 5 1/2 hours to read.
I've also been bucked off of two different horses and bailed off of a third one.

Bucking horses are no fun. I used to ride, but didn't have my own horse, so I'd ride the stable's horses. Eventually they started giving me the problem horses because they knew I could handle them, and no one else wanted to work with them. Hence the second item on my list: "I have been thrown off of, kicked by, bitten by and stepped on by horses more times than I can or care to count."
Didnt give up on my dog who got lost for two weeks on top of a snow covered mountain. Drove 60 miles one way to the mountain after work almost every day looking for him. Eventually found him half starved and half wild. Before that I cared for him and liked him well enough. After that he was my best and closest and most loving friend for the next 14 years. It was the best two weeks of my life I have ever invested.

Managed to not break my neck even though I fell head first into the ground.
Tore my achilles at 13 and didnt find out for two months.
Never broken a bone(even though I've done worse things than those that have broken others bones).
Drove myself to and from swim practice at 14, down a busy thoroughfair in Miami and didn't die.
Got my black belt in Tae Kwon Do at 11(I had been doing it since Kindergarten).
Snuck out of my house at two in the morning with two other friends and paintballed cars passing by on the state highway by my house.
Was not killed by the angered driver who stopped and chased us through the woods.
I am also a certified Life Guard.
Oh and before I forget, I survived a direct hit by a tornado during Hurricane Andrew even though the roof got torn off and a massive tree fell on the bathroom we were in.

I keep thinking of more from reading others posts :D
- 5 on AP English exam
- 5 on AP US History (only two I ever took)
- Stole the sign for the Magistrate's Office, and had it screwed onto a wall in my house, even when the cops came through (for another reason), and they let me keep it
- Ran two miles in 12 minutes (during basic training, so I had a small advantage, i.e. constant training)
- Have gone flounder gigging and caught 40 flounder and two spottail
- reached level 99 on Diablo II before my account got deleted from inaction (courtesy of basic training)
EDIT: And whoever claimed they memorized War and Peace in 12 minutes is full of it. Maybe you memorized a section for a test, and remembered it long enough to pass the test, but not the whole book. Even the movie is longer than that.
