What an interesting question. I actually had to dig around a bit too find it, as I had forgotten what it was. Imagine my shock when I saw it was a response to a question on Islamic history . Far too long to repost - For the curiosity seekers, it can be found below:

I guess that this was my first post.

It’s kind of fun to look back at the threads you’ve started and the ones you’ve posted to. I’d forgotten about a lot of things that happened over the last two years.

Rolling Rock and Export 33

                     This may be considered extraneous information, but then again... There is a French beer
                     called Export 33 (a pale brew with a pleasant herbal flavour) and European beers are often
                     sold in 33cl (330ml, about 11 ounces). Could this be another case of a U.S. brewery taking
                     the name of a well-established Euro-brew as in the case of Budweiser Budvar?
                     in reference to: http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a2_044.html
              and others

My first postcontained 2 radically new theories about the ‘33’ on Rolling Rock bottles.

It killed the thread.

I’m right behind you Tretiak (so to speak) on the Bad Andy Good Pizza issue. At least the Little Caesar commercials (do they spell it differently?) made SOME sort of sense. What does bad puppetry have to do with pizza?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------**

Let me begin by saying that I love the
little ne’er-do-well. Bad Andy wonderfully portrays the
shadow within us all, the dark side of the psyche, that
which we carefully hide away so as to not be thought of
as less than a team player, nay, less than a useful
component of society itself. By using the anthropomorphic
form of a puppet, we are able to examine and accept this
shadowy characteristic, and to laugh with gentle
compassion in recognition of that which we own, yet
rarely claim. Along with this masterful portrayal of
healing integration, Domino’s has also alluded subtly to
that which is the very foundation of our society, i.e.:
the degree to which we are of use is indeed, in the end,
the sum of what we are. Though never overtly stated, it’s
obvious upon examination that Bad Andy lives at the
Domino store, and by extension we may infer that, as one
employee lives there, so must all of the employees.
Working as a team for the satisfaction and satiation of
the desires of society as a whole. A veritable family of
usefullness. And as is portrayed so wonderfully by the
Bad (not so bad after all) Andy, all families have their
own black sheep, their own “Bad Andys”. And yet
we love them still, for they are a part of us. I’ve no
doubt that, decades in the future, Domino’s will be held
up in reverence by sociologists and philosophers alike as
the company which dared to show a vision of a more
complete society, a more cohesive world, in which all
that we are is not only accepted, but embraced. A world
in which we look inwards, not to become more
self-absorbed, but rather to hear the voice of connection
to all of existence, and to turn our eyes outwards in the
interest of doing the very most we can for others. Good
Andy, Good Pizza. Indeed.

Oh, and I find it vaguely creepy that I thought about a Domino’s commercial for more than a minute or so.

It seems like it was a century ago…oh wait…

Anyway this wasn’t my first post (which was probably a test message or a “hello” to other AOL’ers coming over from the old board) but this was the first thread I started.

Anti-cross-dressing laws posted 03-27-1999
http://boards.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum3/HTML/000106.html

I was reading an account by a lesbian about her life in the 50’s and 60’s. She liked to dress up as a man, but said this was difficult because there were laws back then prohibiting a woman from wearing more than three items of male clothing. She was living in New York City but said this was common throughout the US.
Is there any truth to this or is this just a piece of gay folklore?

My question was never really answered and the thread was hijacked into a discussion of pizza toppings.

[Nichol_storm]

Mine isn’t amusing like some here, but here goes:

Okay…

Lets just say that I have this friend, right? And lets say this friend’s mother was prettily heavily involved in the drug trade for much of her early life. Lets say this friend’s mother was taking illegal narcotics (such as, for instance, cocaine) during the time she concieved my friend, but quit when she realized she was pregnant, which was several months into said pregnancy. Lets say that my friend is now nearly an adult. What problems might this prenatal drug exposure have caused? Are their any medical issues I should be aware of? Can exposure to narcotics while a fetus have any noticable effect on my mental health or make me more susceptible to addiction?

Near as I can recall, my first post was placed in a fit of post-election fervor.

I’m actually proud of it, considering how insane I must have been to put my very first post into the Pit, and to have it be a rant outing myself as a Republican.

And when Stoid used it to start a thread in Great Debates, I was just so humbled.

[Ooner]

My first post was a new thread dedicated to welcoming me to the boards.

I just signed up to participate on these boards and would like to be congratulated and welcomed by all, and paid for each post with cold hard cash or sexual favors of an extremely deviant nature. Thank you.

Funny, I was thinking about my first post recently
If It’s Not A Novella, is it a Novel?
because, frankly, I’m more confused now than I was then. I picked up a book in a bookstore about a week ago, because despite being rather short, it was called “13 mystery novels” some of the novels in it are less than 40 pages long…

[TruePisces]

Mine was in IMHO, What word do people always use to describe you?

Let’s see… This seems like as good of a place to jump in and say “Hi” as any.

What people say about me… usually “short”… or “quiet” (until they get to know me) Then it’s along the lines of “nuts”, “weird”, “strange”, “open”… It goes on and on and on.

Now, ME on the other hand…

I see me as Piscean (I truly do swim two directions at once)
Friendly
Open
Goofy
Quiet

I guess that’s a start…

TruePisces

And I don’t seem to live up to any of them, do I?

[Tygr]

Well, you DO live up to “short”.

And I realized upon re-visiting my first post what today is:

Happy one-year on the SDMB to me. Release the hounds and blow the trumpets! [sub](But please don’t get that backwards.)[/sub]

However, we in Canada appreciate the loosness with which those south of the border employ the English language, including such charming colloquialisms as “fishes” (the plural of fish, incedentally, is “fish”) **

That’s only half true, you know. Fish and Fishes are both proper ways to speak of more than one fish. Fishes just sounds so odd to use as a noun that it seems wrong.

So, I’m at this club in Vegas one night, and I spy this little blonde grinning at me while I’m drunkenly dancing.

So, I walk up to her, and I say hi. She asks how I am doing.

I says to her, I says, “I’m doing much better now that I met you!”

Two years later to the day she married me.

Here it is, a year and a half later, and we’re getting divorced.

My first post was in the worst foods dopers ever ate thread:

Hostess Grape Flavoured Potato Cips. The worst part was getting purple stuff all over your hands. They had cherry, but I was never brave enough to try them.

which was followed immediately with my second post:

oops, CHIPS, First post and I blow it, he says hanging his head in shame.

I came to the SDMB because I wanted to know what this message board thing was that was keeping Spider Woman busy and from having sex with me.
My first post was menial and lack luster.

Kinda like this one.

First post was this,

[sup]Tenets of the Board[/sup]

lurker checking in

I looked at the thread in the Pit that Spider Woman mentioned, and it mentions the Tenets of the board. There are some general guidelines listed there, but not as specific as the ones she mentions.

Spider Woman introduced me to this site. It’s pretty cool.

[jackelope]

I have a dog who grew up in the South, as did her ancestors for many generations. I took her to Iowa for two years, and she loved the snow, loved the cold. Until… the temp got down to about 5 degrees (that seemed to be the threshhold), when she’d start getting ice built up between her toes. Once I had to carry her home (yeah, a little embarrassing, since she weighs about 70 lbs.). She never got frostbite, but she clearly had no idea what to do and no defenses for severe winters.

(Note: this was the second, AND FINAL, post in this thread.)

[NightRabbit]

My first post was in a riddle competition by Bricker… I jumped in, gave SwimmingRiddles a run for his money, and won a roll of lemon life savers!

He must have stood on an ice cube, and when it melted he was hung??

** Hi everyone, I’m new here, hope you don’t mind me getting involved- looks like fun

Ahhh…

[Big_Kahuna_Burger]

I have to retype it from scratch because it was lost in the WooLC. Here goes nothing:

Fred Barnes has always struck me as one of the more sophist conservative commentators. Recently, he responded to criticism about his show featuring two moderates and one conservative by saying, “It’s balanced. It has a conservative and two non-conservatives. If anything it leans to the left.” Yeah, right Fred.

That should be approximately what it was. Wish it was still with us :(.
