QOD: your finest hour?

[SapperSix]

What was your finest hour cretins?

When did you perform above and beyond your normal capabilities?

[Trefellin]

I once put a phone down on a counter top, heard it start to fall and then caught it behind my back without looking. Got laid that night. :cool:

[Old Ape Face]

I made the kesel run in 5 parsecs.

Not too long ago on a rainy night I borrowed someone's car because I needed to go quite far and since that person wasn't going anywhere that night I thought why not ask. I found myself on a dual-carriageway cautiously driving in the left lane at about 50mph while fiddling with the stereo system adjusting the treble and bass when suddenly I looked up and saw a car had broken down and was stopped about 20-30 feet ahead of me. Instinctively I looked over my shoulder to see a car driving right next to mine but just behind the back seat (as a reference point) and since it was raining my only choice was to dodge rather than stop. So I put the pedal to the metal and somehow accelerated through the gap the car next to me had left, narrowly avoiding the car in front that was stopped and swerved around it back into the left lane and continued my journey. After that I had no idea how I managed to pull that off in such a short space of time, it was pure instinct and even more surprising for me considering I'm actually an extremely cautious driver and never try anything risky with a car (for good reasons). Sheer luck.

As I was going back home that night I done another awesome maneuver without thinking when I accelerated while turning at 20mph and managed to accidentally drift the car in the wet while keeping it in control. I really rode my luck that night.

Side note: SapperSix needs to participate in his own thread also.

When I composed Yule, or The Void.
When I wrote Plynthia.
There has to be a conversational feat worthy, but I don't want to have to pick. The ones that earned me the most hatred are probably my best.

Running at 17:46 5K race. Took all my mental and physical toughness to finish that race. Lots of bagels were eaten after that race.

I was with my buddy, Capt. Price, and we hunted down and took out this traitor freakin general.

Saw a vase starting to fall across the room and made a slide save like I was a natural born rockstar.

:cool: :cool:

Please elaborate.

Captain Price is old, I remember him being beside me in WW2

Oh man, Capt. Price is legendary. I heard about your exploits with the Cap.

The time I found out two of the girls I were dating were roomates and managed to turn it into one of those hot "two chicks trying to impress me" wars.

I screwed a guy's wife and he apologized to me.

[RecentMidget]

Mikosage and I beat the devil with our rock...
Then we made a bong out of its horn and it had to pay our rent.

[Arnold]

I screwed a guy's wife and he apologized to me.

I'd say that doesn't speak very well about the wife.

Mine? Actually hanging on to the job that I -did- have for two years.

[Haro!]

I don't have a finest hour. I go for marathon sessions. BOOM! 4 hours or more.

In the non-literal sense. My finest hour was two sisters at once.

[Caster13]

Being temporarily stuck in between two girls while they were in a fight.

:smokin:

I once did the same with somone's incredibly expensive vintage Telecaster guitar. He had a kind of a guitar rack where you can hang them up on the wall. It wasn't me who put it down, but somehow I caught it by the neck before it hit the floor. I didn't get laid, but the look of gratitude on the face of the person who had just the previous day spent enormous amounts of money on this guitar was nice.

Another time, I was helping one of my friends move house. When I arrived, everyone was panicking because in the process of removing the washing machine, they had caused a minor flood. I asked what was going on, they said they couldn't turn the stop-tap off.

Somehow I reached under the sink and was able to casually turn off the tap that five other men had been unable to turn off. I felt pretty cool that day. All this before I even removed my coat.

I once managed to burn a copy of Atlas Shrugged while simultaneously using it as toilet paper.

[Caster13]

Getting hit by a Chrysler Sebring and getting right back up and walking no problem and not needing any stitches and had no broken bones. Like I fell off of a bike.

I felt like Happy Gilmore.

[blackknight]

I somehow managed to undercook AND burn a cheese sandwich on the same side of the bread. There was an almost perfectly straight line down the middle.

Finest hour? Perhaps not, but I have a sick sense of pride in that accomplishment
