I have two that are about equal to me.

Signed by Warner, put out a cd that sold about 6000 copies. I know, not a huge amount. Still, it was fun while it lasted.

8 magazine covers as a fashion & freelance photographer.

I love to have fun! Realized that I had to make money to get out of the rat race early! I never had a great job just saved and invested.

I'd love to get more details. How? What type of job? How did you invest? Etc.???

Got a thread onto the front page of LetsRun.com.

Trees reproducing via acorns! No bitching or moaning about how I don't want to have baby trees, my tree wife wants kid trees and I dont, I am worried baby trees will interfere with my social standing with my groove of tree friends, baby trees will interfere with my branch swaying training.

If only I had given humans no choice in the matter.

Graduating with a 4.0 cumulative overall GPA, Summa Cvm Laude, Valedictorian, Phi Beta Kappa with a BS in Mathematics, a minor in Computer Science, and 5 math PhD sequences from North Carolina State University.

[It's funny how letsrun's filter bans the Latin word spelled with the letters 'c' 'u' and 'm']

Great thread.

I love thoughts like this to start out the year. Let me think about it for a minute.

Ok, this is harder than I thought.

Killer student/went to Princeton? Nope, sign of white privilege.

2:23 marathon? That's worse than the women's WR.

Got married to an amazing woman? Nope, everyone gets married plus I dont have kids yet so it doesn't count.

Started LetsRun.com? Nope, result of having an alleged trust fund.

Can someone help me out?

The crazy thing about life for me is that I can remember being a 10th grader in HS and saying I want to be done at 45. This really was a major goal for me. It was not about money, I just wanted enough money to have a comfertable life. I have always worked a job, I have always stayed out of debt, and I have always run. I am 49 yrs old now and I just keep it simple. Live life to the fullest and have fun everyday. Still run100 miles per week and 6 beers every evening.

Double gold in Rio 2016. 1500/800 both run in world record time. 3:10 and 1:34. Times were so unbelievable that they edited me out of the results and race video.

You nailed it! Those all suck.Maybe above average at humble bragging?
