WORST yet FUNNY gaming moment

Okay, so I have to tell this story as karma always wins in the end.

I really enjoy powergaming and when I played Living Greyhawk in the RPGA, all my characters were tricked-out one-trick ponies. My last one before 4e came out was a fighter who took all the feats and armor to buff up his AC. By 5th level, I could draw AoO's and have my AC hit very close to 40. That's what I used him for too, to draw AoO's on creatures so the rogue and other fighter don't have to spend the movement to get in on flanks.

Most encounters needed a 20 to hit me and a double 20 to crit me. The only risk to me was that a double 20 would not only drop me in the right encounter, but outright kill me (can't trick out everything, can I?)

Sure enough we're going up against a couple of really angry ankhegs. I got cocky and took on one by myself while the others struggled with theirs. I even danced around it by taking my mini and dancing around the ankheg figure and laughing at the judge daring him to hit me.

D o u b l e 2 0. The room gets quiet and then we all bust out laughing. I totally deserved it.

So what was the worst yet funny gaming moment that happened to you?

I'm starting to regret calling my character "Kohonen". I was struggling with a name for him that didn't reference the real world person he's based around, nor Arnold Rimmer from Red Dwarf who he resembles (high CHA, low WIS) so I nicked my cousin's Twitter nickname. He's as far as you can get from the noble savage (an urbane mercenary who has recently decided to "settle down" with one group), but of course...no-one can pronounce his (Finnish-based) name and I get called...yes, that's right...

Conan.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!
 

The 'Conan' bit hadn't even occurred to me until I read it at the end of your post; I was too busy laughing out loud. The name sounds too close to the Spanish cohones. It takes some serious cohones to play a fighter with that name. He must have a mighty mighty codpiece. :lol:

That's what I was thinking. I don't know if I could play a character named cohones.:lol:
