Subject: Your Most Recent Moment of Badassery (Now featuring Dumbassery!)
Quite simple. What was your most recent moment that made you feel like pure awesome?
Earlier today the Mistress and I went with my mom and stepdad to Zestfest, a spicy food convention. I vowed to take every spicy food challenge there. After tons of Habanero salsas that tasted practically the same, the things that stood out: I ate a Trinidad Scorpion (somewhere near 3 times more powerful than pepper spray) and did CaJohns's Execution, which consisted of taking shots of 9 hot sauces ranging from several thousand Scovilles up to 3 million at the highest one. There were no drinks allowed and you had to wait a few seconds between each one while the guy explained them and the crowd watched the dying competitors. I was the only one who lasted through my wave. Shortly after my body was completely numb and my shirt was soaked in sweat. Nonetheless, I got a sticker and one of those things that goes around your beer to keep it cold proclaiming my victory
How about you Dakka? What are your moments of victory?

I sparred with a black-belt that started learning Karate in the year I was born, and pretty much mauled him. He was carrying a twinge in his leg, mind. Plus, I got my arse handed to me by the next guy, also a black-belt.
I was dropped into Vietnam and rescued around 10 POWs, then we stole a chopper and slipped out in the cover of night. Half way through our escape we were set upon by a soviet attack helicopter but I managed to get away. All and all a good day.

Were you sober, or had you been drinking? You know it's a valid question.

I accidentally off a tall building and landed safely.
Seriously though, I can't think of the last badass thing I did, i'm not really a very badass person to be honest...

Stone-cold sober! Honest! Drunken Karate is basically just getting your arse kicked, but in pyjamas.

They always told me to start small. So I did.
I flew off a tall building and landed safely.
Huh. Good for you. Did it hurt?
Nah, the power of the earth's yellow sun makes me invulnerable to harm.
What if you did it during the night?

But are you in it at the time? You'd have no time to yourself if you had to fly around the world with the sun in order to keep flying. What if there was an emergancy during a cloudy night? You'd barely be able to skim the ground.

Something tells me that this is not the first time you've described your life in the way of John Rambo's life.
I can't remember the last time I did anything badass. :(
Narrowly missed being hit in the face by a bus wingmirror (its a weekly occurence) by ducking in an awesome manner. Me not being hit failed to warn the guy behind me and he ended up being tottaled instead (this is the guy that got hit by the same car six times in one day, so its all good). ^^
You do know what a Superman is right? Not the superhero but this?
That is the superman.
Not that...

Well the story goes that a few coursemates and I joined a society at our student union. And on the first workshop of our society, I was the only one of my friends that turned up. And I turned up in a suit. By the end of the night, I was doing the Time Warp on the karaoke with a few of the girls from the society.

When at Christmas time I walked into the local GW and purchased the following items *Mind you some were on sale such as the Baneblades*
4 Baneblades
3 Chimeras
3 Leman Russ's
3 Manticores

1 Basilisk.
They looked at me like I was nuts, yet amazing.

Maybe you hang out with immature women. Maybe you're attracted to immature women because you think they'll let you shpadoink them.
