    I made this trick basketball shot in PE at Franklin in the mid 90s. It was interesting because there were usually maybe two white people in PE classes. I guess all the drama geeks got a waiver for the requirement or something. Franklin was really good then (won state twice and I believe 5 or 6 times through Venoyance's and Siva's daze). A lot of the brothas were impressed. I think maybe two were on varsity. Not bad for at skinny (at that time) probably 5-7 to 5-9 white boy from Queen Anne.

    Once worked a really strong opponent into a double arm bar, turned him over and sat through on it, stacking him up so tightly he started growling like Brian Johnson of AC/DC, before the ref blew the whistle and smacked the mat for the pin. Fellow mat fags know the satisfaction of humiliating a very strong, very showy, but very douchey guy with weak technique.

    Played outfield in the Little League World Series tournament - we lost in the first round - struckout, walked, and no balls were hit to me

    So I didn't touch the ball with my bat or my hands

    Was at a pool party this one time... and despite not having any formal training and little swimming experience, I won a swim race against 3 people who were on the varsity swim team. It helps to be lean, have naturally large shoulders, and no ass...but I'm pretty sure I only won because I was racing against girls.

    That happened to a family member, resulting in loss of his minor league baseball slot.

    In elementary school playing Soccer. Swung my leg at the ball and missed only to kick an opposing player in the shin breaking his leg.

    I had 22 tackles in a game that we lost 3-6.

    Holy shit, this whole time Pitchfork was BBK!

    I got a bullseye during archery time in 6th grade outdoor school but they forgot to add my name to the list of people who were supposed to get a reward. But I know, I know.

    As a (white) 17 year old HS senior who was 5'10" and 135 lbs, I could jump and hang from the rim with two hands. One-handed I could dunk a mini-ball. I guess that's not really in an athletic competition, though.

    Most recent feat was adding a dodge ball league championship to my wall. Caught a heater from the guy who was our HS Qb back in the day to get him out and spur us on to victory.

    Went down to Portland to watch the Crapple Cup and Shriveldick War with a buddy who went to grad school at UO. Stopped by John's--a sweet beer store--beforehand to stock up. I ended up with a 3-liter of Double Bastard. Went out to play 3-on-3 street ball at halftime of the AC. Brought our beers out with us. I started the game right in that sweet spot of drunk where you're still somewhat coordinated but irrationally confident. And I just couldn't miss. I even threw a shot over my shoulder from the top of the key while being hard-fouled by a friend I had beaten off the dribble (no IMA zone in this game), and it banked in. We played from halftime of the AC to halftime of the CW, switching teams between games, and my team dominated every game. All this while completely finishing 3 liters of 11% barleywine and shooting something like 80% and dribbling circles around everybody.

    I've tried duplicating this feat at least a dozen times, but it always ends up looking like this:


    I had thought I'd discovered the magic solution to being instantly good at basketball (being stupid drunk), but apparently it only works once. A truly scientific study would require a larger control group, though, so I suggest you guys all go out and try it.

    Some guys in High School started a mild tackle football session with some girls. I think they felt it would be a good opportunity to flirt. Anyway, I ran the ball up the middle and a girl lit me up. Hit me on the hip right when I was planting and I went down fast. 2nd biggest hit I ever received, in football.
