Mine feels comparatively minor, but as a person with very barely any depth perception catching a thrown wrist weight without it being in any form of normal or peripheral vision felt pretty damn epic.

Being "water" at an Arrogant Worms concert.
Having a major role in a musical created specifically so I can play it, and getting to write my lines.
Delivering to two apartment 108s in a row.
Delivering to house number 58 and them owing me $58.
Any given number-related coincidence when delivering.
Getting a cornea transplant.
Delivering pizza to two guys who speak french, doing the delivery in french, and getting a $10 tip for it.
Finding a Mayan calendar at a pawn shop.
Putting the "Vinyl" in the name "Vinyl Scratch".
Accidentally finding evidence that your mom is cheating on your dad, then going to talk to him about it.
To name a few.

Me being born, that will only happen once. Most likely. A pretty epic moment, I broke my collarbone coming out, still hurts sometimes.
As a fairly new Taichi student, spending a night after a workshop sitting around with 3 Taichi masters, (one of them being the actual son of the current Grandmaster of Chen-style Taichi) and eating an entire packet of peanuts while getting unlimited refills of green tea. CRAZY NIGHT MAN. Those masters know how to party! Nah but it was pretty damn awesome, really, and I'd say not many students of any kind, let alone very new ones, get to do that. It was chill just talking about random crap and joking with those guys. Oh and we also all had dinner out together first, actually.
I won a school Easter raffle twice... Sadly I'm not a big fan of chocolate but I have two cool Rabbit teddy's now.
You had to watch that? I petty you really...twistedmic said:
Also, my life is boring, nothing awesome ever happens in it. Someone needs to bring Superpowers into this world so I can became a supervillain. Cool stuff will happen then.
Probably me and my bro attending to one of the Pokemon tournaments they held across the UK (during the Red/ Blue era).
Ok granted they stil hold those tournament rarely but I'm pretty sure I won't attend one ever again (mainly it's the distance problem to go to one).

Playing defense in football while in school, score was 2 - 3 in their favor and time was just about up.
In fact, the other team was starting to celebrate despite a precious few seconds being left on the clock. The keeper had walked a few steps out and was looking at what his mates were doing/saying. Feeling rather angry, I decided to kick the ball as hard as I can across the pitch (from one end to the other, really). This was the ugliest kick of all time, delivered out of pure rage and haphazardly curving while in an arc.
It went in their net.
Another time, I was playing basketball. Doing pretty good, but nothing too special. The same situation was in play, only I think it was already a tie game but still in the last few seconds. I get the ball, manage to run past everyone and after getting past the center of the court I trip on my own blasted feet. In desperation I chuck the ball over and up, my head now facing the ground speeding up to meet my face and my arms going to stop the ground. Cheering erupts as I had apparently gotten a "swish" on that ridiculous spectacle. I was more worried that I was going to be laughed at than my shot missing, but apparently fate had other plans.
Those are some of my fond memories.

Mine's really not so great, but one time my friend was drinking a pint and I said "dude, if this penny goes in your pint, you got to give me a million pounds" and immediately flipped a penny in the air. It flew about a foot to the side of the pint, but then hit the table, completely changed direction and bounced straight into the pint.
It would have been a lot more epic if I had received a million pounds afterwards, not just a punch in the arm for flicking a dirty penny into a friend's beverage.

Sharing some jelly babies with Peter Davison (He was the 5th Doctor) in my Fourth Doctor cosplay, got a picture taken with him too.
Also, casually chatting with Katee Sackhoff (She was Starbuck in the new Battlestar Galactica) for 20 minutes about super hero comics outside our hotel was cool, and totally unexpected.

When my sister won a contest and our family got a free visit to a candy factory. By the end of the tour we could take home as much candy as we could FOR FREE! The factory in question has since closed, so it was truly a once in a lifetime experience.
Wait, is that the Hobbit pub in Southampton?! I had no idea they went there on their trip. You lucky guy!Jazoni89 said:Meeting Dodger (PressHeartToContinue), and Jesse Cox (OMFGCata) in person from The Gamestation, now that was an epic once in a life time thing...
Large Picture of me and Dodger!
(I'm like a colossus compared to her...hehe.)
OT: Visiting Sir Partick Moore, the famous astronomer, at his house not once, but twice. When I was young, I was really interested in astronomy, and had a bunch of short books about the Solar System written by him. My mum wrote to him, and not only did he write a really nice typewritten letter back, but also invited me to his house. My dad and I went there, and I got a signed book from him, along with a tour of the night sky through one of his telescopes. I then went back a few years later, although that was as part of a much larger group. Still, it was really awesome meeting one of my childhood idols.
This will probably never happen again because I suck at video games, but I was playing PSASBR in a 2v2 match playing as Cole. My teammate got knocked out and I had only 1 life left while both opponents had 2. I was on fire. I managed to dodge them long enough to get them both.
I was really hoping for a nervous hover hand, but you had to be all socially capable.Jazoni89 said:Meeting Dodger (PressHeartToContinue), and Jesse Cox (OMFGCata) in person from The Gamestation, now that was an epic once in a life time thing...

OT: I can't really name any once in a lifetime moments, I'm not sure I've had any other than my birth, if that counts. I mean I'll never be born again so I guess it does.
Yeah, some of my games tend to get jealous too.ambitiousmould said:
OT: I once spilled a glass of water when one of my fiends was over and we were joking about having those dumb moments. I then switched on the TV to hear the words "Alex ins't a clever lad." As you can imagine we laughed for a considerable amount of time.
Pretty minor, but I won a free copy of Black Ops 1 (which then turned out to be the first CoD I disliked).
In other news, I was walking home one day with a rubiks cuve in my hand, which I can complete in around 1 minute in a good day, and I passed by a free try stall showing of some biscuits, which I decided to check out. The guy at the stall saw my completed cube and asked if I could complete it, which I could; in one minute and six seconds, which was my record at the time. He said that if I beat my record, he would give me a free packet of biscuits, so I took the challenge; he scrambled the cube, and I begun to solve it, and to my surprise, I beat my record...
... by doing it in one minute FIVE seconds.
EDIT: I got the biscuits.
