Basically, it's something you're proud of but - at the same time - you feel a little guilty because it's actually pretty stupid and pointless when you get right down to it.
Here's mine: in the sixth grade, I beat a future NHL All-Star in a game of "Ice Hockey" for the NES (I'll let people try and guess his name) ...
FALCONNNN PAWNCH!!!

|  #2 Posted on 9.2.09 1125.40 | Instant Rating: 3.09 | I was sixteen years old, living in Scarborough.
I did a 65KM bike trip to my then ex-girlfriends' place to return her copy of "Starship's Greatest Hits" on cassette tape that I had borrowed from her. She owed me my copy of "Mannequin 2 On The Move" on VHS. She drove, I didn't...so I took it upon myself to trek there from my place. I was about 16 at the time, so it was a huge deal for me. I planned the trip a week in advance, and looked at several different routes before settling on one.
That was about 15 years ago, and even in the grand scheme of things, it wasn't a huge deal, I'm still pretty proud of it. If for any other reason, nobody really cared that I did it, not even my parents. I guess that bolstered my pride in the occasion.
