What's your biggest brag?

Asked by wundayatta (58722points) March 13th, 2009

Whether you are justifiably proud of it, or you are stretching the truth, or outright lying, what’s the biggest brag you ever made? Why did you do it?

I constantly brag about the size of my, er, “feet”.

My biggest brag so far is a truthful brag, and that is the fact that I graduated from a Canadian university’s 4 year bachelor degree program with a grand total of 0 dollars and 0 cents in debt, AND lived on my own for the latter two years without having to take any form of a loan whatsoever.

Edit: And even writing it in this very thread rubs me the wrong way, as I am not one to brag or flaunt at all :)

Probably one of my proudest moments was when I pulled a 2k on the erg in record time, 7 min 50 seconds. I felt like such a badass. It’s still one of my favorite memmories.

True but odd, in the military I went from E-1 to O-6 in under four years.

I don’t tell the part about being a full colonel for only one day.

I try not to, but whenever I have guests over, I like to show off all my electronics and brag about the price I paid for it (example, iMac core 2 duo for 160 dollars, and soo much more).

RandomMrdan's avatar

@DrBill holy crap dude, that’s impressive!

DrBill's avatar

@RandomMrdan

The whole story is not that impressive, so I don’t tell them that part.

Mine may seem odd, but it’s divorcing my ex-husband when I could’ve just stayed in the marriage. We got along on the surface, but had very differing views about religion, politics, and other such issues. He thought we could have worked through those issues, but I knew they would cause bigger problems down the road (especially if we had kids), so I decided to walk away before it got to that point. It was the most difficult thing I ever did (I hated hurting him because I love him), but I was proud of myself for doing the right thing and not ruining the rest of both of our lives.

He now understands and thanks me…

My biggest brag is my children. My husband and I have been able to raise 3 very intelligent, kind and talented kids. I’m very proud to have a bumper sticker that reads proud parent of a high honor student. :P

I was waiting for someone to say something about someone other than themselves. Thanks, jonsblond.

Our two daughters are my biggest brag, too. They both went back to school for 5 years, leaving their husbands & kids to go at night while they worked during the day. The oldest one is now an RN. The youngest is a high school history & social sciences teacher. She’s got her Bachelor’s Degree & she’s going back to get her Master’s so she can teach at the college. All of that took a lot of sacrifice on their part, but it’s paid off. I’m so proud of them I could bust. I think everyone wants to see their children accomplish more than they did, & our’s sure have.

I like to joke around with my sailor-mouthed friends and brag about how I’ve never said the F-word (which is true).

beat that!

TitsMcGhee's avatar

My biggest, best, and true bragging rights is the priest story. I got free drinks when I went back to that bar for my sexual prowess alone :)

Sakata's avatar

I convinced the world that I didn’t exist.

VS's avatar

Totally insignificant in the overall scheme of things, but I won the South Carolina grits cook-off in 1993. Aside from the title of grits-cooking champion (and what bragging rights THAT includes) I won a beautiful set of Corning Ware, an apron that says “Gimme More Grits!!” and $100.
Now I want to know about Tits’ priest story…

Blondesjon's avatar

I am unequivocally hilarious.

i also have a massive vocabulary

jonsblond's avatar

@Blondesjon That’s why I love you!

osullivanbr's avatar

Certainly won’t be the fabulous reponse I gave to this question.
Dissapointed myself there

Jack79's avatar

Well, you did say “brag”. I am the only man I know who can continue having sex after an orgasm, and in fact have a second or even third one without ever getting soft. And no, I have never even seen a viagra pill. The good thing about it is that it’s up to me to control it, so it comes in handy when I need it to happen. And of course girls love it :)

SuperMouse's avatar

I am very proud of my kids, they are on their way and so far so good. On a totally different level, I am also proud of my black belt in Hapkido.

Johnny_B_Goode's avatar

(Two) beautiful women.
(One) never-ending night.
(Countless) orgasms.

Then my VCR broke.

Bluefreedom's avatar

I’m the only person in my entire family who has never experimented with or recreationally used illegal drugs/controlled substances.

Not really a brag but it is something that I’m proud of.

shrubbery's avatar

I’m just gonna make a quick brag for someone else, @peyton_farquhar, one of the girls in my squad, 17 years old, just pulled 7:16 on a 2km erg. I’d say that’s a justifiable brag :P

And one for myself as well as her, our first VIII just won the nationals school girls eights, that is we are the best school girl eight in Australia. I reckon that’s a justifiably proud brag too, since we’re half the size of the other crews and no one was really expecting it and we had people ringing to check the radio had got it right when they heard us being called as the winners :P

My children are better people than I am, and brighter, too!

LouisianaGirl's avatar

When I brag about my niece because people know that I love her so much and we`re lucky that she survived and I am very proud to go around bragging about my niece and I love her so much! She is sooooo adorable!

nebule's avatar

that i studied at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester to be an Opera singer… and chose to leave because it just wasn’t “me”

LouisianaGirl's avatar

My friend always goes around school singing that song,” I`m a cheerleader and you`re not.”

@Jack79

If we are doing sex brags, I can give a woman a climax so intense, she passes out.

Blondesjon's avatar

I once shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.

essieness's avatar

When I hear that whistle blowin’, I hang my head and cryyyyy…

Allie's avatar

Oh fuck, Johnny Cash is beyond awesome.

augustlan's avatar

…and he’s been everywhere.

Mtl_zack's avatar

I’m 19 and I’m gonna be published in Molecular Biology in 2 months. I helped my dad with some of his research in his lab. I got the galley and everything, and I signed the copyright forms. :D

augustlan's avatar

@Mtl_zack That is awesome! Good job.

ronski's avatar

Sadly, all i can brag about are my great tits. No really, they are great and men always comment on how nice they are and women even talk about them. Double d’s au natural.

zephyr826's avatar

I brag on my siblings a lot – My brother is the MO coordinator for change (with the Obama administration) at 24, my sister got a 35 on her ACT and is studying at American University in DC,and my baby brother is the most interesting high-school junior the world has ever seen (including all of my wonderful students). Oh, and my husband’s a genius. :)

TitsMcGhee's avatar

@ronski: Beat you by another D, also au natural. Victoria’s Secret doesn’t even carry my cup size, much less my number/letter combo.

wundayatta's avatar

@TitsMcGhee, @ronski: I do believe that this little competition requires verification, and extensive measuring. Since it is my idea, although it really would be an imposition, I shall volunteer to underwir… uh undertake this endeavor.

TitsMcGhee's avatar

@daloon: I’m always game.

wundayatta's avatar

@TitsMcGhee (I trust you are not referring to your…. odor?)

TitsMcGhee's avatar

I meant, in the words of the infamous Ice Cube…. “I’m down for whatever.”

ronski's avatar

@TitsMcGhee nice! yea, i don’t think victoria secrets even carries double d’s, at least not in lingerie…wtf?

@daloon I bet you would, huh?

augustlan's avatar

@TitsMcGhee & @ronski Enjoy those multi-Ds while you can… after 3 kids, mine are still ginormous, but quite… deflated. ‘Do your tits swing low?’ Why yes, yes they do. :(

ronski's avatar

@augustlan thanks…i’ll try, but wanting to have kids just becomes more and more terrifying each time I blink…

ronski's avatar

by the way, you are hilarious

augustlan's avatar

Why thank you, dear. :)

TitsMcGhee's avatar

@augustlan: Precisely one of the reasons chitlins are not in my plan.

@ronski: I get pissed all the time that they don’t carry anything in my size. Frederick’s of Hollywood does, and it can look a lot trashier, but they actually have some really good stuff. I love their bras.

wundayatta's avatar

[humming] Perky tits, perky tits, I’m really into perky tits!

Sorry. My mind was wandering there. Daydreaming, you know. Wish I had something so….. charming to brag about.

My virginity

wundayatta's avatar

@VzzBzz: Hey, you need to put that in safe-keeping. I’ll take care of it for you. Don’t worry. Safe as houses.

Strauss's avatar

I’ve been everywhere, man.
I’ve been everywhere, man.
Crossed the desert’s bare, man.
I’ve breathed the mountain air, man.
Of travel I’ve had my share, man.
I’ve been everywhere.

I’ve been to Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul Minnesota,
Rapid City, Sioux Falls and Yankton South Dakota,
Zanesville, Ohio, and Pittsburgh PA
San Diego, San Francisco, and even to LA.

Vietnam. Australia, and to the Philippines,
Even did a tour on a ship with some Marines,
Boston, Philly, Orlando too,
And then there’s Ann Arrbor, and Kalamazoo.

Shall I continue?
