When the first campaign I was in petered out, I took my character and pitted him against every monster in the Monster Manual. Then I went on to kill most things in Deities and Demigods. Then I lied to my friends about where he got all the xp from. Oh, the shame. But he was one kickass monk 17/wizard 25, let me tell you.

I also used to have my D&D kill dieties from Dieties & Demigods. I'd always start out with the Native American evil ice god because he was the weakest. A true stain on my honor.
This must be a trend. My original copy of Dieties and Demigods has "DEAD" written next to just about all the evil dieties and heroes in the book. I think I killed Druaga from the Babylonian myths 4 or 5 times. I mean, they are gods, then can keep coming back, right? Right? My brother and I used to take turns running combats between our characters and the gods, fudging rolls when we needed to so we would win. That way, we would have the most powerful characters of all our friends, and could say "He was the DM" and we would back each other up.
I used to color the pictures in the 1e books with colored pencils and markers. All the female gods, monsters, and heroes have bright pink nipples. Even the ones wearing clothes...
I used to have a character in Basic D&D, an elf who lost an arm in a fight with a dragon. My cousins character was a cleric, so to heal me he replaced my arm with the arm from a skeleton, then cured my wounds. My elf lived the rest of his days until retirement with a skeltal arm, and nobody ever thought twice about it. He also had a treasure list that included every magic item from the basis, expert, and companion sets. And a sword that could turn bones to jelly and suck souls out of his enemys.
I once played a party of three halfling brothers named Bilbo, Dildo, and Elbow.

I think I should stop there...
