Don’t you hate it when people start talking about being the first one to do someone, usually something lame like inventing the internet or using Coke as a douche? Anyone here REALLY the first to do something newsworthy, monumental
or incredibly neat? Just curious…
OK, let’s not limit ourselves. You can include friends, relatives, near-relatives, co-workers if you like. If someone was the first, I want to be the first to hear about it.
I meant “something” in the original post, not “someone”. Although that might make for more interesting reading…
Sorry, having a blonde moment. Makes you wonder what my mind is on?
I invented lines. Before me, everyone was just standing around in a haphazzard fashion and I said “hey, why not everyone face in the same direction?”
I also invented marriage.
Of course some can get away with it…
If watson shows up at your bar and starts sounding all high and mighty like he was the first to discover DNA, you’re not going to smack him down are you?
Oh yeah?
Well, I invented invention, so there! 
beckwall, with these four responses (mine included), you safely take your thread away from the realm of “I wsa the only poster in my thread”. I have yet to see one that beat my record of posting thrice in one thread and not having anyone else post in it.
This thread is kinda pointless. From my understanding, Camille Paglia did everything first.
I Invented PostIt’s.
My grandpa invented the question mark…really.
I invented the art known as “the Fleecing of America”. It all started 4 days ago, when I planned to spend $2.5 million on stuff we don’t really need.
Tripler
But someone’s boss says we need it. . .
My friend’s dad claims he invented the word “dweeb”. While in college (yes, it was the '60s), he randomly thought, “I think I’ll invent a word today and then see how long it is before someone else uses the word.” Hey, if Dr. Seuss can do it with “nerd”…
I imagine this is how such words as “felch”, “squick”, and “mung” came into existence, also.
My brother and I agree that he was the first to lash one of those plastic milk cartons to the back of a motorcycle. This would be in early 1968, although I didn’t see the construction until late 1969. Bill claims he was the first to do so in North Carolina and Virginia, and he was the first I saw in Georgia and Florida so appointed. He had a 175cc Yamaha he rode everywhere, up to and including 1200 mile round trips from school to home and back, so people had ample opportunity to see him and his bright red plastic carton trailing behind. I like to think those sightings spurred the carton shortage dairy products people had in the late 70’s and that, as far as I know, continues to this day.
I invented sliced bread.
I was the first person at my school to wear paper coveralls to school for no special reason. Yes, this is today, I’m Bicycle Repairman, and yes, I do have on other clothes than that. If I didn’t, then I’d have a bit of a problem.
I’m the first person I knew to use the phrase “brain fart”. I just saw it again in a pit post. Hahahahaurmph.
“…nothing, in fact, has been left untried by man.” – Pliny the Elder, Natural History, c. 400 CE
ha HA! you fools! I invented water, dirt and air. Beat that!
Yes, but I invented all of you, after all, your just figments of my imagination.
1 In the beginning Cabbage created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of Cabbage moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And Cabbage said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And Cabbage saw the light, that it was good: and Cabbage divided the light from the darkness.
5 And Cabbage called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
6 And Cabbage said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And Cabbage made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8 And Cabbage called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 And Cabbage said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
10 And Cabbage called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and Cabbage saw that it was good.
11 And Cabbage said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and Cabbage saw that it was good.
13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
14 And Cabbage said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And Cabbage made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And Cabbage set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and Cabbage saw that it was good.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
20 And Cabbage said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21 And Cabbage created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and Cabbage saw that it was good.
22 And Cabbage blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24 And Cabbage said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25 And Cabbage made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and Cabbage saw that it was good.
26 And Cabbage said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So Cabbage created man in his own image, in the image of Cabbage created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And Cabbage blessed them, and Cabbage said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29 And Cabbage said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
31 And Cabbage saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Anyone for coleslaw?
