    Default Toot your own horn.

    Not masturbation, although you can brag about that if you want I guess.

    This is the thread of things you've done well enough to surprise yourself.

    I just learned that I set a new lap record for my class at Charlotte Motor Speedway during that race back in August. No one racing in my class of car has ever gone as fast at that track. I'm as shocked as anyone.

    Of course the people running the event had the car under my father's name, so he gets credit. At least I know it was me.


    So what have you done that made you pretty happy with yourself?

    Uhm. Well the other day I volunteered to do mock troubleshooting in class and everyone said I did a good job.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    Mock troubleshooting? Explain.

    Several people asked me for my Mac 'n' Cheese casserole recipe from the family Christmas get together. That was a happy surprise.

Not being turned into a smear on the tabletop would have been impressive enough, but we actually won.

    If no one else here plays 40K, you can applaud me now.

    I thought so. It looks just like a space-age Civilization II.

    I've already posted this in another thread but I thought I'd stick it here as it seemed more appropriate.

    I was fortunate enough to play at the London O2 Arena in January of 2011. I got to the Grand Final of the Open Mic UK 2010 competition. There were around 10'000 applicants and I got down to the final 70 acts in London.

    I didn't win but managed to come 3rd in the voting. I just wasn't picked by the judges at the end. Anyhoo... here I am at the 02 Arena (bricking it!). We were only supposed to have three-and-a-half minutes but I may have gone over by 30 seconds or so!

    There aren't many views on the Youtube video as it came on www.muzu.tv first of all. Most people viewed it on there... hopefully you can all increase my Youtube views!

    I'm tooting my horn as I read this thread right now. That frumpy ginger in Pike's post is just... wow. It's... I'm lonely, okay?

    Is the AI more intelligent? Whenever I play CivII: ToT, the communication through the foreign minister is stupidly cocky. Like I'll be wailing on some mothersmurfer, and he'll get in touch with me trying to cut me a deal to receive mercy from his brutal military. And I'm all like, smurf that noise, I'm gonna take over this city.

    I stepped into a role three paygrades above my own this week and did my boss's job. I like to think I did a good job. We got a lot more done than he expected of us, and I was doing my job on top of doing his job.
