Whoever comes up with the best answer will win … well, something more than a stick of gum.

feat of strength
[...] Prize for Best Feat of Strength 23 12 2008 As you’ll know from my last post, I’m running a contest to see who can come up with the most impressive feat of strength for [...]
I successfully renewed my driver’s license today at the DMV… in UNDER. TWO. HOURS!
I’ve done it in under half an hour, sir, but I didn’t live in Atlanta so I agree that that IS impressive.
I dragged around TWO Union contractors today and actually got about 4 hours work out of them (over an 8 hour shift). Now, that is strength! *flex*
I let my 17 year old daughter make a decision that will effect the rest of her life all on her own after she screamed at me in public for half an hour about how unfair life was and how much she hated me for not helping her. In the end, she made the right decision and in time she’ll see that by not helping, I actually helped her, I hope.
I broke my arm throwing a ball about 10 weeks ago.
I once ripped a phone book in half whilst watching Old Yeller without crying.
I made four sets of copies of three different documents today without having ONE SINGLE PAPER JAM!
I just scored a 4.0 taking 12 credit hours (4 classes) while working full time, taking care of a 17-month old and taking care of an 8-months pregnant wife, and this is right after commuting an hour to work for 8 months then moving 43 miles closer to work a week before classes started. Next semester, I’m already registered for 16 credit hours (5 classes and a lab). /me flexes
Once, working in retail, I repaired the foot pedal of a demagnetizer…
…With a paper clip.
I can also roll cigarettes while driving.
I awesomely walked three blocks OUTSIDE without slipping! It would have been seven, but i slipped.
I dug my Saturn out of the snowbank the plow thoughtfully created for me this morning. I survived traffic and even got to work on time! Whoot feat of strength.
I crushed a bug with my fingers once……..
Almost as good, I once did an ironman triathlon.
Once, I broke a string on my bass guitar and didn’t lose an eye or finger! It was awesome!
I am managing to stay at work for nearly a whole day, despite it being the day before Christmas Eve… and despite my office having no heat.
I am like unto a god!
(I am not, however, managing to do it without the fortifying strength of atheist blogs.)
I am successfully homeschooling my dyslexic son with a completely logic based, secular curriculum. A feat of strength made stronger as I am a single parent (who is not on welfare).
Isn’t the Airing of Grievances supposed to come before the Feats of Strength?
I flew to Atlanta a couple of weeks ago. And boy are my arms tired.
I can write my name in ball point pen with my toes.
I survived taking 5 cats to the vet for shots all at the same time!
I just went to the mall. THE MALL. It took me a half hour to get from the mall parking lot (on one side of the road) to Borders Books (the OTHER side of the road). 30 minutes for 30 feet. AND… I didn’t have a stress induced stroke, murder a helpless shopper or give up on the only good cup of coffee in town just feet away at the bookstore cafe. People are gonna talk about this like they do war stories.
I am currently working at the local Public Library taking the shift that none of my coworkers want so that people who celebrate the holidays can be with their families tonight. I’ve worked a bunch of extra shifts this holiday season since I don’t celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, or any of the religious holidays.
Not only do I get an extra large paycheck I get tons of “vacation time” karma so I always get the best time off in the summer.
I held a spirited corgi at bay with one hand and a striped lemur/cat with the other. At the same time. With no loss of blood.
I can devour an entire bag of Tostitos Hint of Lime tortilla chips (14 oz.) in one sitting! I can also finish off an entire half-gallon of Breyer’s Vanilla Bean ice cream in one sitting, but not both at the same time. However, I am in training to do just that.
I can open a jar of peanut butter WITH MY BARE HANDS!
(a) I wear shorts all winter long in a place where it snows in the winter (Salt Lake City, Utah). Not only that, I walk nearly everywhere I go.
(This isn’t as big a deal as it sounds, since my boots have 200g insulation. However I did it without warm boots for quite a few years.)
(b) btw, postsimian, some years ago I scored a 4.0 while taking 21 credit hours, working one 30-hour-a-week job, and a 2nd 25-hour-a-week job. However I didn’t finish college. Make of that what you will.
Monday was my day off work. Heroically I woke up at 7am and made breakfast for my family when they are perfectly capable of making their own damn breakfast. Four rounds of marmite on toast, two bowls of porridge, 5 cups of tea (four with sugar) and one strong black coffee.
Oh yeah, you should be scared. *flex*
I returned to a new friend’s place for a second time…and didn’t get lost. This has to be a first.
baby steps, llewelly, baby steps… and I still have about 30 hours on you between the wife and the kid. >:D
I can use my right hand to draw a picture of my left hand while my left hand draws a picture of my right hand. :)
I once drove the 1 1/2 hour drive from Austin to Houston, getting pulled over 3 times and only getting 3 warnings.
I also once drove from Dallas to Indianapolis in 10 hours. It’s almost exactly 1000 miles, you do the math of average speed. I only stopped for gas and only sipped on water so I wouldn’t have to use nasty gas station bathrooms.
Now I have kids, I drive differently nowadays.
1. i have thus far today, on several occasions, managed not to even so much as complain about my lazy co-workers who somehow manage to do nothing even though this isn’t technically a day off and i’m taking all the heat for their not doing anything.
2. both of my first-born children are male. o wait, that’s probably not a good thing….2. last Saturday, i managed not to bitch-slap, kick in the nuts, or even so much as scowl at the not-even-a-santa-anymore homeless(?) bell-ringer who was drinking a Starbucks in front of the mall entrance….after having been splashed with slush by the hurried woman wearing fur in the large suburban with a jeebus sticker on the back.
I watched the movie ‘expelled’ without walking out! (Of course, I stayed until the end to boo and loudly make fun of everybody that thought it was anything less then a travesty).
I fixed a pair of prescription glasses that were smashed and slept on with just my bare hands. When I was done, they were as good as new.. and they weren’t Flexon.. they were old fashioned plastic frame ones.
Today I walked past the nativity scene some co-workers setup on the first floor without stomping it to pieces.
I walked somewhere between 700 and 980 miles in less than two months in East Africa this summer, braving man eating ants, man eating lions, armed bandits, malaria, giardia (you so don’t get a picture of that one), blisters inside blisters, equipment failures, puff adders, cobras, chameleons, really big and friendly bugs, the bus and lots and lots of small children to hand out mosquito nets.
Oh, wait. Ummm. Hmm.
I can bathe this very pointy kitten without losing an arm!
I can lift 310 pounds and carry it around all day. Unfortunately, it’s my own body.
I found my favorite JREF poster’s blog and managed to refrain from asking her out like a creepy internet guy. Does that count? No? Damn.
Godless Dave! I would have nominated you but you missed the cut off :(
That’s OK, I figured out it was a vote after I posted. Glad I found your blog. I included a link to mine but I haven’t updated it in over a month. And by “blog” I mean “place where I post links to news articles with little or no comment by me”.
