Running my first 50 in straight pool made me feel the best.
Cashing in a pro tournament the first time was probably second.
But my best pool acheivement was probably when I ran 3 full racks in a row of 15 ball rotation on a bar box.
Building my first cue lathe was probably the best thing I ever did as far as business goes. Second was building my first cue.
Getting married and raising a couple of kids was the best natural part of my personal life.

Ok, you win.:thumbup:
Sounds like fun so I will go. I have already posted in this so I had to think of some more.
- I got into a fight with 6 guys and won. Not much a deal, or accomplishment other than the doctors told the guy I was defending that I saved his life by just coming outside a bar and acting.
- I saved my brother from drowning in 6 inches of water when he was about 5 years old.
- On an IQ test I was given I was told that less than 1% of the ppl who took it got every question right....myself being in that group.
- Division I State Wrestling Champ at 135lbs.
- I achieved a 4.0gpa by challenging myself to do nothing more than listen in class and not crack open a book.
One of these is a lie
The last one is a fib!
winning and winning more
Here we have a league that started in 1993. We have an end of year tournament where all the teams get together and play for an all expenses (except gambling) trip to the nationals in vegas. Proud to say that the team that I have been with all those years has won that tournament every year. Been going to vegas national tournament for 17 years in a row.
Our team has also won four state championships, two with the bca and two with acs. Never will forget the first one that we won in 2003. We got knocked in the losers bracket the second match. Went strolling through loser side 13-2, 13-4, etc. No matches were close. Got to the finals and guess who we faced. Yep, same team that torched us the first loss. We go hill-hill the first set and win 13-12. We get really jazzed and start on fire the second match.. Running tables like crazy. We won the final match 13-2!!! :thumbup:
I have a great set of guys that are really close to one another. We are currently making plans for this years Vegas fun!! Hope to see some of yall there.

Here's my rare two
I carried a red TAR shirt to the summit of Mt. Rainier, July 6, 2008.
Just recently won full custody of my daughter 16 1/2 yo after 14 months of divorce court. Awarded back child support and child support going forth. All done Pro Se! (Meaning I was my lawyer; and did not attend law school) This by far is my greatest accomplishment. :thumbup:

You are right, but only because I just remembered that I opened the book in class because the teacher told us to. I never brought abook home, or studied though so I just worded that one wrong.
There is one real lie in there and that one isn't it.
Nope that one is totally true.

I once shot at the 8 ball to win, hit to hard, must have been a little jacked up, maybe too many beers in me, and the cue ball ramped up over the 8, flew in the air to the table next to me and cut in the 8 ball. I said, pay up sucker, I finally made it.
There was a heated discussion after that one, saying you did not call that ball on that table or the pocket. The guy would not pay, i told every one what a welcher he was. I should have got on TV with that shot, too bad no camera was rolling. I bet people drunk, have made shots that would defy the laws of gravity and if you saw them, you would not believe them. I have seen a few, I just went what was that? True story. Too bad, I was not really trying to do it.

These have all been very enjoyable thank you.
