Pointless Bragging Thread

[Wraithy]

I thought it would be nice to make a place where the playgrounders (starting with me :smallbiggrin:) can feed their egos and brag about something for no reason.
It could be anything from finding a shiny penny to getting a new Ferrari, as long as its something that happened to you or you found out about yourself which you want to brag about.


As for me:

Saw Patrick Stewart facepalm live on stage.

Found out my Verbal Comprehension score was 138 (top 1% for people my age)

[Saithis Bladewing]

As an idiot and a failure, I have nothing worth bragging about. Sorry. :smallsigh:

[Ego Slayer]

As an idiot and a failure, I have nothing worth bragging about. Sorry. :smallsigh:
Liez 'n slandarz! :smallfrown:

You could say you're better than Ego, at least? Would that make you feel better? No? :smalltongue:

[An Enemy Spy]

I beat up Chuck Norris

[Dallas-Dakota]

*has nothing brag about*

:smallfrown:

[d'Bwobsling]

I'm so cool, I'm measured in kelvin
:smalltongue:

[Felixaar]

I graduated at the age of fifteen with a 99.7% average.

Bring it.

[Nychta]

I'm happy! Because my new top is covered in fairy dust!

[Castaras]

I'm happy because...

umm...

I'm Happy! :smallbiggrin:

[potatocubed]

I have the best kettle in the world. It's like the offspring of kettle and UFO. :smallsmile:

[Dhavaer]

I got a pay rise. No idea why, but I did.

[Morty]

I'm one of the three best English speakers in my age category in the whole town. I've been on English linguistic contest on a regional level.
That's it, but that's something.:smallamused:

Photobucket doesn't seem to be as appreciative. Maybe find a different image hoster?

[Dallas-Dakota]

Weird, since lots of avatars are hosted on photobucket and seem fine.
*only has photobucket account*

*clueless*

*cries*

I suggest copy/pasting the url of your pic a couple of times in case something went wrong there. If not, try here (http://www.imagehosting.com/).

[Tormsskull]

Ummm, I got an awesome new TV like 3 weeks ago (52" LCD), which I hooked my computer up to and now everything is HUGE.

I'm getting Direct TV on Friday and I will have all the NFL games to watch that I want.

And, my favorite, I showed my 50% complete novel to a friend, who showed it to one of their friends, and that person said it was one of the best they had read, and couldn't wait to read more. :smallsmile:

[Dallas-Dakota]

Yeah but its weird, since its fine on Ceika´s photobucket account.
And both Ceika and I can see it... Perhaps to much awesome was included?

*copy/pastes anyway*

[Dhavaer]

And it works. Nice. A bit blue for me, but I like the biscuit.

[Thufir]

And it works. Nice. A bit blue for me, but I like the biscuit.

You mean cookie. He's the cookie-monster, after all. Also you can see the chocolate chips.

I don't like to brag- ohhh, who am I kidding? I love to brag! There was this one slayer, during the Boxer rebellion...

OK, seriously now, my vocal range is 3 octaves. More on a good day.

[The Rose Dragon]

I graduated at the age of fifteen with a 99.7% average.

Bring it.

From college?

I feel stupid now.

Then again, I have an IQ of 60. I have every right to be stupid.

[Manoftyr]

Ummm, bragging?...let's see, let's see...


I have a high genius IQ and a 4.0gpa?, that's something worth bragging rights I suppose :smallconfused:

[Darth Mario]

My compositions have been performed by the cellist from Evanescence when I was 16. So ha.

Oh, video evidence: My composition (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=2qrSczTcNRY) (he's sitting near the middle). Lithium (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=6724m0sclJM), by Evanescence. He's farthest to the right.

[Saithis Bladewing]

I can brag that the last time I tried to brag I was called a liar and made the people who did believe me feel bad?

[TRM]

I make a mean chocolate muffin. And it's very healthy too because it is made with half whole-wheat flour. So I can eat it every day for breakfast? >__>

I'm also very good at knowing what is going on and what I should be doing; this has lead most of my peers to come upon the irrational belief that I always know what's going on and what to do about it. In reality, most of it is just not letting on that I don't know what the hell is going on, and figuring steps out as I go along.
So... that wasn't a very good brag, because it's nothing special. Ne'er mind, then.

[Wraithy]

I'm returning to sixth form on Tuesday... oh wait, that's horrible :smallfrown:

[Gem Flower]

I'm smarter than 99.9% of all people my age. No, seriously, that's a proven fact.:smallbiggrin:

[Khanderas]

I'm smarter than 99.9% of all people my age. No, seriously, that's a proven fact.:smallbiggrin:
I am close to that claim.
Where I am, two main ways into universities, grades and a special test.
On that test, I last scored in the top 2%, and that is from the general public who would feel they are worthy of taking that test.

Now if I just could figure out how someone this smart does so stupid things sometimes :smallamused:

Only IQ test I did was on the internet, and by a company who sells complete tests (only did a partial, try-it-out thing) and diplomas, naturally I was a Genius there. But I don't take that serious and neither should you.

[Thomas Madd]

I am a kick ass artist, in both my concepts and the crafting of the art objects as well.

Also, as another randomer brag. One of my D&D characters threw a red dragon. And he wasn't epic yet. Boo Ya!

[SoD]

Also, as another randomer brag. One of my D&D characters threw a red dragon. And he wasn't epic yet. Boo Ya!

Simple.

1) play a goliath.
2) take improved grapple
3) find a red dragon wyrmling
4) unleash the gnomes
5) ???
6) profit.

My brag: went driving today, and it went perfectly. I followed the instructions of my father perfectly, especially the "If another car comes, indicate and pull onto the side of the road." but apparantly, he should've said: "If another car comes, indicate and pull onto the side of the road, after making sure that it is safe to do so, and you're not going to drive into a ditch and scratch the side of my car with a broken off tree branch." Oh well. Oh, and I'm awsome.

[valadil]

Erm. I did a 45 minute IQ test in 10 minutes and got everything right.

I spent some time at an Olympic training center practicing archery. I still have the card that says I'm a potential Olympian and can demand an Olympic discount at certain restaurants. Never used it though, but it seems like a cool prop.

I wrote a comedy sketch in spanish (note that I wrote it in spanish, not wrote in english then translated to spanish), which totally stole the show (which included a writer for the Daily Show) even though most of the audience spoke no spanish.

[Klose_the_Sith]

I'm cooler then you :smalltongue:

[SurlySeraph]

Ooh, I get to brag? Cool!
I get a 2400 on the SAT.
I get 800s on 3 or 4 SAT IIs; the only one I took that I didn't get an 800 on was the one I got a 770 on.
I've gotten a 5 in every one of the 8 or 9 AP tests I've taken.
Oh, and next year (after my year off) I'm going to Harvard. I was originally going to go to Georgetown, but Harvard said they'd automatically accept me for the next year's class if I took a year off, so that's what I'm doing.
Know what makes that even better? My twin sister is going to Yale.

@V: Yep. She's awesome.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Surly has a twin sister? :smallconfused:

I apparently creeped some people out(including dr. bath) with my new avatar! yay!


Oh, that isn't a fact to brag about? Really? I didn't know that...

[Moff Chumley]

I see the world more interestingly than any of you!

*is crazy*

[Setra]

I am immune to the hypnotoad.

[SDF]

I just got back from Nevada where me and my roommate made ~$650 playing blackjack. =D

[SurlySeraph]

I am immune to the hypnotoad.

That's nothing special. No one's really affected by THE HYPNOTOAD, WHOM ALL HAIL!

[Erothayce]

I rode my bike from about 47 miles from my home to Sacramento with some people for no real reason at all. All on a fixed gear bike with a stupid high gearing ratio.

[Mr. Zook]

I have my own reality!:smallbiggrin:
I can jump almost 4x my body length (5'3")
I ran a 5:20 mile. In fourth grade.
I scored 255 points in Madden NFL 2007, which is the maximum and still had enough time for 7 more drives.
I invented my own laguage in thrid grade that is accutaly functional and based on German, Spanish, Russian and Greek.
I have acted in 4 school plays and stared in 3 of them.
I called the final score of the baseball All-Star game (not the extra innings) this year as well as calling the Pats' last second loss in the Superbowl.
I am going to Brown, like my three older cousins.
And I'm too cool for school.:smallcool:

[Corrupted One]

According to my placement test, I should not be going to 8th grade, but am actually working at a post high school level and am currently scoring higher than at least 98% of the country my age in all my subjects. :smallcool:

[Wraithy]

Oh yeah... well I got a Toblerone for my birthday, top that.

[Moff Chumley]

I've seen through their propaganda: IQ/tests in general doesn't mean anything at all. Deal. :smallcool::smallyuk:

[Manoftyr]

I've seen through their propaganda: IQ/tests in general doesn't mean anything at all. Deal. :smallcool::smallyuk:

You're absolutely right, they mean 'nothing' true human intelligence is measured by the ability to make associations I.E. take A and connect it to B in various forms be them logically, linguistically, physically etc. and any kind of standardized test can't really measure that, it can really only measure a fraction of your raw logical and linguistic knowledge, and even then not very well, and they can't measure other types of intelligence whatsoever.

In short yeah, IQ tests mean close to nothing.

[Rollin]

In engineering school, my final project was to implement an electric circuit whose output was a chaotic signal. This is much less exciting than it sounds (though the oscilloscope trace is very pretty!) but the brag is that some other people were in the lab and asked me what I was working on, and I was able to truthfully answer CHAOS!

[WhiteMonkey]

I laid some smack-down on my wife in the wii Sports boxing game that came with my wii system.

Then I gloated in her face and did a victory dance around the living room in my underwear yelling "BOOYAH".

It was a good day.

[DraPrime]

Allow me to brag about the fact that I have managed to singlehandedly create the central plot of the game currently in the making on these forums. Hooray for my great ideas!

[Inhuman Bot]

I got a watch!
I just want to say, as I have never had a watch before....
Come on, ask me the time of winnipeg, canada :smalltongue:

Is anyone on this forum not a genius? Also, if everyone's a genius doesn't that make them just average?

I have born a child!

Ha! Top that! :smallbiggrin:

(and I'm not a genius. Math scares me, but give me a good ol' English paper and I will RULE!)

[Dhavaer]

You mean cookie. He's the cookie-monster, after all. Also you can see the chocolate chips.

Biscuit. Cookie is for Americans.

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

Canadians get Biskies, half biscuit, half cookie!

[TFT]

Singlehandedly? I seem to remember solving the developing schism and saving the game from an eventual split... Not to mention getting the setting and beginning of the game set up

NO!!! The Tribble must never be depressed! (unless he uses it as creative fuel for his amazing monster making skills, and even then only on rare occasions)

*ahem*

I am ultra-super-mondo lazy, and still doing better than almost everybody around me!
[/Brag]

[Crow]

I worked out with the cockiest guy at work and brought him to the brink of puking in just 4 minutes. He had to lay down on the gym floor before making more excuses.

[Durp]

I beat the stupid out of this supposedly gangstah jerk at my school.

[KerfuffleMach2]

I set a personal record at work two days ago for the amount of time it takes to install a hitch. Took me 35 minutes.

[Edge]

I managed to write a piece of creative writing English coursework back in high school (a fantasy piece, of course) that my fantasy-hating teacher not only marked high, but actually enjoyed.

Umm...

I'm done.

I became Northern Ireland's Warhammer 40k Regional champion in the Trial of Champions tournament.

Best part is it was right before NI got merged with the EU, so I hold onto my title forever! Bwahahaha!

Unfortunately when I moved onto the United Kingdom finals I got my army destroyed by one of the people who worked on the Rulebook itself! Although, watching him play was like watching an artist.

[Moff Chumley]

I wrote a Prog version of Paranoid (Black Sabbath, of course) in the lieu of doing anythin productive. And it kicks ass!

I managed to identify Seth Macfarlane's voice acting in the new Hellboy film, and when I checked the credits... ABSOLUTE VICTORY
