How did you "earn" YOUR Gjallarhorn?
I don't think I need to tell anybody that there's been a lot of salt thrown around recently by folks lamenting the fact that they had to "earn" their Haller Haller Get Gjaller, and now anybody can just buy one.
The thing is though, by definition, if anybody that had one from a drop did actually earn it, they did so only by running the one activity that granted them the drop (and by extension getting to whatever level let them run that activity). That could have been the very first thing they had ever run that could grant you an exotic, and they'd have landed on the Jellyhorn. Nothing else affected the chances, and any belief to the contrary illustrates the Gambler's Fallacy.
That led me to thinking, what did those of us who got Ballerhorn in a drop [i]really[/i] do to "earn" the (until recently) rarest of guns?
So without further ado, I'd like to be the first to recount the legendary tale of how I "earned" my GGhorn.
Comment with your "epic tale" and let's see just how hard we all had to work! ;)
I hopped into a 5 man Normal Atheon fight and died during it.

tl;dr ITT share stories of any low effort "feats" you accomplished that gave you a Gjallarhorn drop, demonstrating the lack of a correlation between effort and reward, thus disproving that RNG counts as "earning" any more than Xûr does.
Edit: Now with 20% more quotation marks so everyone gets the joke
Edit 2: It occurs to me that in the original post I failed to mention the fact that for some, their YOLOhorn dropped after a particularly difficult feat, such that they really do feel that they earned theirs. My point is not to lessen the sense of accomplishment anyone felt after acquiring their Yellerhorn, but rather to highlight the fact that due to RNG, many of us "earned" ours in really easy/silly ways, and to invite the people who are sad/angry/disappointed at everyone's favorite Splatoon cosplayer to think about whether RNG really qualifies as earning something.
Cheers, all, and welcome to the Wolfpack!
Edit 3: Alterations to second paragraph regarding the description of what anyone who got a Gjally drop did that directly resulted in that drop. Also added tl;dr

first was a nightfall with archon priest back in February, i was so shocked and so were my teammates. i dropped my second from a hard VOG chest. I did decide to buy a third one to complement. Ive known clan mates who didnt have any and have been playing since the first month. another had five of the tings. thats RNG.

My first week playing, grinded my butt off to get to level 20. Got lucky with a few decent pieces of armor that put me up to 29. I had some friends who had already been playing since beta. They had one slot left in a "raid", at the time I didn't even know what that was. I wasn't doing much so I joined in during the final phase. I pretty much died immediately. Rewards screen pops up. Not only did I get the gjallarhorn, but I also got the vex mythoclast. In my first raid ever....

One from nightfall, one from exotic chest, one from xur

Edited by Airdair1: 8/18/2015 3:58:50 AMI got my 1st two in Nightfalls.One about 2 months ago, other about a month ago. After grinding since day one. Then I bought my 3rd from Xûr.Probably a month prior to my 1st drop, I got one playing with my son's character from a Nightfall. 3-4 months prior to that drop.I got one from a legendary heavy engram from a chest in the divide, playing a friends character.

Getting carried through Crota hard mode as a 28, being unable to even hurt the ?? Enemies. Gally dropped for me at Sunsinger as I was hiding and my friends did all the work. Profit.
