Humble Brag / One-Up Thread

I once blocked a dunk against Ryan Leaf in a pickup game in high school. Other than that, I once got rejected by Jennifer Aniston at a bar in Cabo San Lucas.

Navy wise, I was recommended for early command of a PC as a LT, but my heart at other ideas and got medically discharged.

I flew an Apache Helicopter.

Was Battalion Soldier of the Quarter back in Army and got an incentive flight...my favorite Warrant took me up and after doing some outrageous shit, he took us up pretty high and let me basically hold the sticks and make ever so slight movements...much like a toddler sitting on their dad's lap as they drive around on a nice Sunday cruise. I still consider myself an Apache Pilot though...

Not a cool humble brag on me story, but one of my old roommates.

An old roommate basically failed out of college, just didn't care anymore, and enlisted in the Army, got into the Rangers. Hadn't talk to him in a few years after college, and one night on facefuck he was online. Started chatting with him a little bit. Come to find out, he's basically just waiting around for some higher ups to give him the go ahead to drop some bombs on some insurgents in Afghanistan where he was stationed. Went from failing out of college to fucking up Al Qaida.
 
I scored in the 98th percentile on the GMAT and got a full ride for my MBA. I've always been good at standardized tests and it makes me sad that college are practically ignoring them these days.
Bout my only claim was my perfect math and science ACT scores that earned my full ride. That plus my parents being poor paid for my beers..

Now I got nothing I guess

Have you dropped “Bingo Dingo is my call sign” before?


If not, why? That’s fishing with dynamite

You would be surprised how many people in OIF/OEF were college dropouts.


Actually no you probably wouldn’t… it was just about everybody. *sad face Yeehaw
 
I'm not the story teller Sarasota is, so pretty lame stuff.

My great, great grandpa and relatives on my dad's side have their own Wikipedia page about their settlement in Nebraska; along with the remaining family royalty in the US that migrated from Germany and now live in Ohio. My mom's side of the family was also royalty in Ireland back in the 1600's. I was a former service member, although 7% of the population can say the same. Was assigned as platoon guide in basic training. Soon you'll see why I was more like Prince Harry than William...lol.

Forgettable -- passed out drunk at my ex-girlfriend's house and had the police called on me for trespassing when her roommate got home. Had 3 disturbing the peace citations in Kearney for loud parties. Lied to a judge about how many MIP's I had in college during a hearing. I'd already had one, but told him this was my 1st. There were many shenanigans in college that lead me to believe I'm lucky to be alive. Nearly drowned in a sandpit in college, and nearly died when I was 3 because I was choking on a screw. My grandma saved my life, but apparently it wasn't looking good for a while.

Had a difference making vehicle in high school that was nearly identical to Snoop's 64 Impala. Which was helpful.

That's badass.

I drove and was a track commander for one of the old piece of shit APC's back in the early 90's. Many smaller pine trees at Ft. Carson met their early death.
 
1. I taught my degenerate brother how to bong a beer and he went on to bong a 40 in 8.2 seconds.

2. Also in 2015 I successfully performed a planned but risky spinal surgery on a famous Golden Retriever named Bretagne (pronounced “Brittany”).

Something cool to add to my second one: because the surgery was risky (I gave it <25%), there were a couple firetrucks and several firefighters waiting outside with American flags in case things didn’t go well. That made me so damn nervous I was sweating bullets. The guy I ran that clinic/hospital with at the time told me “If our building/logo ends up on national news carrying out a flag draped dog casket, I will kill you with a scalpel.” And I believed him.

Damn, just read up on that Golden pupper...what a dog! Love Goldens...my Golden is a moron and not a 9/11 hero, but he is awesome.
 
This is gonna sound a little greasy and wild but hear Me out.

Fucked a chick from a couple towns over that had the same last name as me.

Her dad was adopted and her grandfather was very very distantly in the relation category anyway, so no incest
Classic WN
 
I banged and dated Sam Schimmel for like 2 months. (Janice Griffith) I love whores.

I played as a fill in guitarist on a bunch of touring metal core bands—- how I met Janice.

I played NAIA soccer. Had one d1 offer to ucf. Had a bunch of d2 offers. college soccer was weird 13 years ago. Top level talent all over the place.

I once fucked two sisters in one day. No shower in between. Because I was a degenerate.

Not sure I can think of anything else at the moment. But I’m sure tons of you guys have done way cooler shit than me. Im boring as fuck now.
