You built that city!
My new favourite expression, reserved for when someone does a really smashing job of something, is "you built that city!" (After the song, of course.)
Then, if the person who built that city had completely planned everything out and absolutely knew the whole shebang (what ever it is) was going to work even though everyone doubted them, even Oprah and Dr. Phil... then that person would be entitled to make pistol finger and reply, with some self-satisfaction, "on rock and roll."
