Your moment.

I'm curious. What is your best moment? I'm not talking about "when my kid was born" or "when I got married" or in some cases "when I got divorced". Everyone has moments like that ( Read more... )

I'd like to think the finale of my movie hasnt happened yet, but the other night I ate almost an entire chicken nachos from ale house BY-MY-SELF! 3 other people at the table told me they would help with it and thats the only reason I ordered it. So it comes to the table and its the biggest specimen of chicken nachos i've ever seen, bigger than any other time. And nobody at the table wanted any, I think they might have planned ahead of time to decieve me. Well, I manned up big time and ate nearly every bit of it. Even when my insides were pleading with me to stop I didnt... I'm no punk. After I was done some old guy (I'm not sure why he was sitting with us) said "GADDAM SON! You're the nacho king!" and I told him "Damn right old man, and i'm glad you got to see me in action before your upcoming death." Then I screamed "FFFRRREEEEEEDDDOOOMMMMMM" and kind threw down my money on the table in disgust as I stumbled out of the Ale House. I'm not entirely sure, but I think I heard a slow-building applause come from inside the resteraunt ( ... )

Number one: I've seen the chicken nachos at Ale house and they are indeed way bigger than what you have pictured there. I can't believe you ate all of that.

Number two: I hope you do it soon.

Number three: Even when you are not under the influence of Nachos you have trouble keeping your car on the road.

My hats off to you. For the sequel to this event we need to go to Jungle Jims and order you a headhunter (A pound of angus beef, grilled ham, bacon strips, cheddar and jack cheese, iceburg lettuce, tomatoes, dills, sandwiched in 2 (not one) 2 hamburger buns topped with two olives and a full-pound of french fries.) If those nachos were your Apollo Creed than this burger is your Ivan Drago!

One week before graduation at navy bootcamp we had our final PT test. This is the one we had been working for the entire time at boot. The run went fine and the situps were no problem. But then we come to the pushups. They way it went is if you screwed up a push up you got a bean bag in front of you. That was to let you know you had failed. I had gotten no sleep worrying over this.

So we start and I've done 5 and no bag. 10 and no bag. 15 no bag. 20 no bag. 25 no bag. Finally 28 which is the minimum I needed to pass and no bag. I got up to 33 before finally they bagged me.

Best moment I've ever had. Other than marriage and other things.

That is bad ass. I would have gotten my nose to the ground on my first one and a bag would have been right there smiling up at me.

This is silly but... sashastarchaser August 18 2006, 17:45:35 UTC
At character dinner when I was queen I sang a Gypsy song. It was the first time I ever sang in public. I had everyone's attention which was terrifying, but I didn't fuck it up. When it was over it took everyone a second, then they started clapping, a lot. They asked for another song which was proof to me they liked it. Several people asked me why I had never sung before and I told them it was because I didn't know I could. But the monent to which I am refering came the next day when the performer I admire more than anyone in the whole world told me it was fantastic, not only the singing, but the performance itself. He told me I had everyone captivated. It freaked me out so much I started crying (hopefully I held it back well enough until we parted that he didn't see me) and it changed me somehow. That's my moment, without question.

Interesting post.

Mine is not so much defining as it was monumentally telling (for me).
I managed to pull the trigger and burn off over 2,000 rounds of M-60 ammunition. The only reason i dion't burn more was because the damned belt broke.

Best moment.... anonymous September 5 2006, 23:30:38 UTC
For most of my life I was the sidekick. You know, the funny guy in the story that everyone wants to be the not funny but sexy romantic lead in. Oh I had moments of being the hero, but few people saw them ( ... )

I don't know. I've seen you save the day several times. Hell, you saved my life once. I am refering of course to the time when I was sleep deprived (almost 2 days with no sleep.) and lost in Dallas. You were the first person I thought to call. You figured out where I was using the vague and INCORRECT descriptions I gave you of the scenery around me and you got me to the faire alive. If it were not for you I would not have made it. That is a fact. To you it was a quick phone call from me. To me it made all the difference in getting me there.

That may not be as awesome as punching out a guy or saving a falling kid Indiana Jones style, but I still appreciate it.
