You, mister, are apparently a rabid doberman in golden shepherd's clothing.
Stung by a wasp while gardening win.
It's a dubious win to be sure, but still a win. I'm OK.

Hmm, i got stung on my toe a few months ago, not nice, you have my sympathy.
It isn't too bad. For a paper wasp, the sting was rather mild and, while persistent, is dwindling. Fortunately, I don't experience reactions beyond the area of impact.
Are you all aware that the bees, wasps and ants that sting are all female? The sting is a modified ovipositor. Males don't have the equipment to sting.
I wonder if there is anything philosophical to be had from that fact?

Winning by knowing that there was a computer company that once sold "Arete" computers and that the word of the day today talks about how that word can't be translated into a simple English word
Not every word has a direct translation in other languages, and arete falls into this category; though it is frequently translated as “excellence,” using “excellence” alone ignores all the nuances, such as bravery, intellect, and productivity, that arete implies in the original Greek. ... These translation issues also arise with philosophical terms such as pathos, which can be translated succinctly as “feeling”–its intended meaning in compounds such as apathy, empathy, and sympathy. However, pathos is more than another word for “emotion”; it refers to the feelings of pity, sorrow, or compassion that result when hearing, seeing, or listening to another person’s story or experiences. As with arete, no single English word can capture all these subtle meanings.

Yup. I knew that.
Come back here and I'll bite you.
Only animals are allowed to bite humans.
Not according to the Monty Python rule of bridge guarding.
Winning with some Taz chocolate.
One of me favorites.
It's a health food.

I like milk chocolate.
Winning by lying in bed listening to heavy bass wars from 3 fairground rides at the same time. The dogem car attraction is winning with by far the loudest amplification. Only another 3 hours of winning thump, thump.. thump, thump.
The 3 day village party is a winning riot.
