AlaskaHawks wrote:"Worlds greatest Uncle" - according to my 2 nephews
I maintain great relationships with all of my siblings and my parents.
I have a group of friends who are always there to help eachother out when needed.
Marrying my dream girl next September.
Graduating from UW with my Bachelors Degree at age 19, completely debt free.
Youngest ever hired at my company for the position I'm in in over 100 years of history. Record still stands.
Bought my first house prior to age 30
First AG meetup where it wasn't an awkward lobby walk-by or to play hoops.
I call bullshit on #1. The t-shirt I own says otherwise. It makes me the one true greatest uncle.
I'm willing to fight to the death and see who comes out as the only living greatest uncle.
Since I ALSO have a trophy emblazoned with "Greatest Uncle"... I'd use that to bludgeon you with... or at least hurt you a little bit since it's pretty cheap and would probably break the first time I whacked you upside the the head with it.
Nonetheless... we're on. And if we need to pit my nieces vs. your nephews in a battle royale extravaganza to decide this... so be it. Those entitled blond-haired suburban girls can throw down if necessary.

It's my nieces 3rd birthday party tomorrow. She hasn't called me greatest uncle yet. I'm gonna be hurt if she doesn't utter those words soon.
PS one of my nephews gave me a sword as he told me this, so we can pit my sword vs your 2" trophy.

I've been in better shape than 99% of this board has ever been...that's an absolute fact

There were over 1,000,000 scores by my last check, and I'm confident that most of the scores ahead of me were via cheating/glitching. I found an okay tutorial on how to clear the room on YouTube and figured out how to optimize it after a lot of trial and error. When I got my best time it felt amazing.
