    Hey, not every little boy gets to accomplish his dream. How many would-be astronauts, pro athletes or presidents do we have on this board? At least I did mine. :)

    Taken home two first-place trophies from powerlifting meets.
    Was the man of the match in my final college rugby game.
    Was on the slowest 4x100 relay team in my school's history.
    Went to a World Series game when I was a kid.

    Hmm..

    I beat Tyson by decision my freshman year of college. Got a standing 'O' from three guys into a room.

    I beat my damn freshman roommate once on the original WWE(F) game as Default in a drunken stupor. That dude has a .998 winning percentage against me in all games played... but for one night, Default -- who was a 175 pound dude in black underwear, nothing else -- was victorious.

    We won the res-hall 'B' league intramural flag football title, erasing a 20-0 deficit to do it.

    I once walked partway into a first-round NCAA tournament game next to Steve Wojoiehowski-alphabet.

    When they took you away to question you, did they think you were a drug mule?

    I scored in the 99th percentile on two sections of the ASVAB - simple math and code memorization, if I remember correctly.
    Because of that, the National Guard (really, all the services — but I only talked to the Guard) wanted me bad. The parents pushed me to sign up, insisting that I'd only miss the first semester of school and I'd come back with college paid for. I said no. That was in March of 2001.
    I won a 1956 Topps Warren Spahn as a card show door prize when I was 12.
    I have successfully taught both of my stepsons how to not throw like girls.

    No.

    Most of their questions were about your ID.

    IT WAS A LEGITIMATE BLOCKBUSTER MEMBERSHIP CARD! THERE'S NO REASON IT SHOULDN'T HAVE ADMITTED ME INTO A FOREIGN NATION!

    Maybe they looked at your rental history, you should have checked out "Strange Brew" and "Porky's" more often.
