I once won 300 quarters in one pull of a slot machine. And my wife won a gas BBQ grill at a bridal show a few years ago.

I guess winning my free forum hosting would qualify for "cool" :D . Also getting my position as weathernet volunteer at the ripe young age of 9 1/2 was cool as well.

I was the first person in my county to win earn a gold medal on the National Latin Exam (Can you say super geek :eek: ) What makes that even more extraordinary, was I forgot it was that day and, following in my family's alcoholic roots, I went to school so drunk, my friends had to help me walk to the test. (If my kids try that, I'll break their... well, you get the picture)
