Things you thought you invented (1 Viewer)

[Postradamus]

Invented a game called Socketball.

Rules:

Teams of 3-5, played on a half court rim, preferably with a brick wall behind the rim for bouncing purposes.

Players can dribble and pass like Basketball, but to score the ball must be kicked toward the rim.

1 pt for touching backboard

2 pts for touching rim

3 pts for both

5 pts for a made basket

double the points if it's bounced off the wall first, and the ball is checked at the top of the key after points are scored.

Have fun!

As a kid, I would have punched you in the face if you tried to dispute the fact that I invented the Suicide (a mix of every soda from the soda dispenser at the fast food joint of your choice).

 

[Statorama]

You're giving me the “It's not you, it's me”? I invented “It's not you, it's me”! If it's anyone it's me![/costanza]

Why is it called Socketball? Shouldn't it be Kicketball?

 

[Gadzooks]

At one moment, around the age of 13, I was fairly certain that I had invented masturbation.

Pretty sure I've perfected it since my divorce. Actually, I probably perfected a few months before my divorce. Shoot, I probably perfected it a few months after my wedding.

 

[Hoart Petterson]

The McMFM (pronounced "McMuffum"). It was basically a Filet o' Fish sandwich but with two beef patties added on either side of the fish filet. Also a layer of special sauce on both sides of the fish. (Bun/Beef/Sauce/Fish/Sauce/Beef/Bun)

Gross.

"The fish literally squirts flavor in your mouth."ba-da-ba-ba-ba!

Kicketball sounds ridiculous.

 

[travdogg]

I invented the idea of dipping french fries into your shake.

Just a couple weeks ago, I saw people doing it on some kids show that my neice was watching and I was like WTF?

Reeses Peanut Butter Cereal.

We would buy the chocolate crunch or whatever it was called, and the peanut butter captain crunch and I would mix them together.

lo and behold a couple years later they come out with the same thing mixed in one box.

These kids beat you to it.

It should be called Sosketball.Socketball makes it sound like it has something to do with socks, or electrical sockets.

[Otis]

When I was younger I thought for sure I invented putting a layer of French Fries in my hamburger.

Whoa. This was going to be my answer when I saw the thread title. I started doing this in '79.Also, tucking my undershirt into my boxers. I invented this about 2006.

I am certain Righetti's got a thread on this one. May predate you.

 

[Apes with Guns]

I invented the "What's up?" saying when you greet someone.

Wasn't this Roger from "What's Happening"?

 

[Coffee Sippin Guy]

My Dad invented tucking the undershirt into his briefs before I was born, and I'm pretty sure I updated this fashion trend in the 90's when I switched from briefs to boxers.

I challenge you to a game of Sosketball. If you lose, you have to change your username to Posterdumbass.

Why don't you two compromise and just call it Suckitball.

My friends and I were convinced in the 5th grade that we had invented the word "tubular" referring to something cool.

Various vodka cocktails

Grain & GatoradeorDump all this into a cooler and stir it up: 1 Liter of Vodka, 12 pack of swill beer, 1 can of lemon or lime concentrate, 1 bag of ice.

 

[Steel Dillo]

When I started driving 20+ years ago, I had an old and loud POS truck. It was so loud going down the road that I had to crank the cheap stereo way up to hear it over the road noise. Every time I stopped, I'd have to turn it down to a decent level.

I thought it would be great idea to make a radio that automatically adjusted the volume according to how loud it was on the inside of the vehicle.

About 10 years ago, one of the major car companies rolled out this feature.

Whatever you get when you mix coffee liqueur and vanilla coke, that's mine.

That second one doesn't sound very tasty.......but I'll try it. From experience most vodka drinks that sound horrible end up being quite tasty.Most of my inventions are preceded by, "#### I'm out of mixer."

I wish my cable company did this, even if it just equalized the volume from one station to the next.

Tastes awful, but you won't give a crap after too long.

Get a stereo system with a decent receiver which has the noise balance feature....run all sound through that

Sour Skittles. When I was around 12 years old I took a bag of skittles, a really sour candy liquid and coated the skittles in it. Then I took the left over sour sugar from the new sour patch candies(just arrived in stores/movie theaters) and put a layer of that onto the skittles with it sticking due the the sour liquid. Let them dry and had myself some sour skittles. About 5 years later I see sour skittles on the market and let out a string of profanity. Could of made a ton of dough, and they taste really similar to my custom ones.

I had the idea for this back when I was in college.

Extension Cord Lock

Oooh, where do I get me one of those?

I switched almost all of my outside tools and cords over to twist lock plugs after getting used to them at work. It's a little cleaner than putting that harness on, but admittedly, not for everyone. You're an engineering dork though, so you might go for it.http://www.aplussupply.com/ps/twistlok.htm

Now I've got to look through my manual. I've got a kickass receiver. I wonder if I have this feature? I hate how loud commercials get.

I always thought that Reese's Peanut Butter cups would taste better with White Chocolate. I just wish I would have told that to the Reese's company before they started making them on their on. I would also like if they added a Ritz Cracker to the bottom of it.
