What was your first post?

Actually, Satan, considering your mindset of late, my first post was to start the thread “Liberal Religions” in Great Debates, much of which was dedicated to Unitarian Universalism.

It was all downhill after that. :smiley:

The first post I can find for me is this one http://boards.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum4/HTML/000888.html Satan posted his pic and I said that satan looked oddly like Jesus.

You know, I’ve had the same problem. You don’t think college is making both of us even more dumb instead of smarter? :frowning:

I think my first post was wondering where did the term “4:20” originated, too bad the post got deleted in the board cleanup. Oh well.

Wow is this ever embarrassing. :X

My first post, about 100 years ago on the AOL board… um… well there was a whole series of people asking about if you could really set a fart on fire at the time, so I started a thread pretending to be an idiot, with the subject line “Can you light armpit farts?” and the text “Sorry, couldn’t help myself”

I feel so dirty now…



I have over 2000 posts, dammit! Show some respect.

My first post was in reply to somebody who wanted to know what PROM was: http://boards.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum3/HTML/001819.html

Apparently it’s been all downhill since then. :wink:


A cubicle is just a padded cell without a door.

After lurking for about an hour (I suck), I began my first thread, which was something about what the hardest language to learn was. I was a lousy lurker, but I did read the entire archive and most of the board in the next couple days.

This was in October 1997. I can’t remember what my first post here was. If you care, you can look it up yourself.

I lurked here for the LONGEST time… probably longer then most… my earliest post is this one http://boards.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum4/HTML/000888.html in it Satan posted his picture and I said that “Satan looked oddly enough like Jesus.”


I was sad because I had no shoes, until I saw a snake with no legs.

LOL I posted to that topic thank you very much!!

My first post (under my first handle) turns out to have been earlier than I thought.
8-24-99, at 4:28 p.m. central time, in the Abortion Cures Crime! thread. What a putrid sig. I blame too much time on Ain’t it Cool News. Also, I can’t claim conclusively to have killed the thread, but I think a strong case could be made for the idea.

My first post was in GQ. I started a thread called “Who invented this craps, anyway?”
Basically I wanted to know who the guy was that invented a game so complicated that it takes three people to deal it, plus a fourth person to watch the game to make sure the other three don’t screw up, plus the fourth dealer recuperating in the break room…Got quite a few posts in reply to the OP, but never really did get an answer to the question.

The earliest post of mine I can find is in this thread about where socks go when they vanish from the dryer. My theory: the dryers are being framed by washing machines.

Good to know I showed early talent for tackling the big issues.

My first post seems to be this.
http://boards.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000028.html

Amazingly it appears to have been the 28th thread of all time off AOL(neglecting concurrent ones in other forums). I was unaware of the AOL situation at the time, and thought the board had been more established than that. Odd.

Anyways, its a responce to Cecil’s column of toilet plumes.

Fun Facts:
Cecil himself commented not once, but twice.

14 people made their only post there.
7 made one of their 2 posts there.

CkDextHaven and JillGat also made early showings.

Squid Viscious, Dr. Jackson, sunbear, Big Iron, DrFidelius, Chef Troy, Nanobyte, and priccar are fairly current regs who made appearances.

I fucked up the HTML in that first post (how embarassing), and I dove in head first with an arrogant rant. Ah well, what can you do? I still think I had a valid point :). No one jumped on me, or yelled at me so blame them for my year long infection of your MB ;).

My One Year anniversary is in less that a week 4-21-99 10:42 PM.

A side note, my first original post, 2 days and maybe a few dozen posts later, also in Comments on Cecils Columns was here:
http://boards.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000040.html

Entitled “AIDS in the bubble”, was interesting that it recieved a lengthy responce from Cecil, and I am maintaining the impression that I was right and he admitted it, even if he blamed Ed ;).

I started out getting spoiled by Cece’s input.

My first post is gone, as are the neurons that stored what thread it was in. I think it was on animals smelling fear.

My first post - after at least 6 weeks or so of lurking - was Jan 28th, the first day that the post count and registration date started showing up.

Hmmm… i wonder if I could tell my story one more time!! L the first two simulposts I didnt think whent through from work. then I post the same thing when I got home… duh.

I know I have a low post count, but that’s because I’ve been basically lurking around for over a year. Guess I’m just shy…but I remember my first post. I think I tried to start a topic about whether or not you can vacuum-seal human bodies in coffins to preserve them. I don’t recall it getting many replies before slipping into obscurity…

This is the earliest post I found for me: http://boards.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum2/HTML/000001.html

It occurred on 3/13/99, which is the date I registered, and at 3:04 am, so it’s entirely possible that is was my first post.


Your Official Cat Goddess since 10/20/99.

I just washed my cat. It’ll take me hours to get the hairs off my tongue.
