At age 8, I thought I invented reincarnation.
I once thought i came up with the idea of a bicycle that generates
it's own power for a headlight.
I thought i came up with the term RETROnica.
I HAVE invented a word i can't find a Google reference to: SUCKuel
As in "I thought 'Basic' was the SUCKuel to 'The Generals Daughter.'"

Well, I was making "French Bread Pizza" *LONG* before they were available
commercially. Only because I didn't own a pizza pan, and my kids liked
pizza.
I was rather pissed off when I first saw them in the grocery freezer. I
considered writing Stouffer's a letter and demanding payment for my idea.

Had one of those a long time ago. It leaked the day it was new, and rusted
the day after that. I hear they've improved them since then, though
(once the Japanese got ahold of them, I imagine.)

I'd also thought they should do that, before I knew about them and then
learned better. One thing to consider is that they lower your laundry
throughput, which is important for rugrats.

Don't bother. They suck. Stouffer's version that is.
Stouffers has cut its own throat by having being traded as a name brand for so
long between different conglomerate owners... any cachet they may have built up
with customers disappeared well over a decade ago. It is sort of the same way
Famous Amos cookies got raped, by some company wanting the name, to shovel
their cheap crap through the market.
That only works for so long, until you have tarnished the name you have bought.

I use a short hand of it all the time the three by four by five version, as
typified by most TV sets for the past fifty years, which are measured
diagonally, so you 3/5ths the diagonal for the height and 4/5ths it for the
width. Just so happens to find the pythagoras thing too of course, one of the
examples with the easiest in the head math.
The frame such a tube is in is often as wide and as deep as the diagonal. At
least most I have seen the past 20 years try to offer the set as a cube.

I also discovered Mayo in a squeeze bottle.
I made a discovery: It’s impossible to sing the theme to "The Jeffersons"

For a while some people tried to label the "X" generation the
"slackers" as the opposite of a "boom". It never seemed to catch on,
though the gradual drift of "X" has now opened up an entire generation
ahead of it again.
(My personal definitions have boomers born up to 1960, Xers up to 72
or 75, and Nintendoes born since 75. We're almost due for yet another
name. There are clear differences between X and boomers, which is why
I place the cutoff a half decade earlier than many others do. Xers
don't remember what they were doing when Kennedy was shot. Four dead
in Ohio is just a song. I consider myself to be an "outlier X" born a
bit too early)

My dad made some little hooks to make it easier to hang Christmas tree
ornaments. You probably know the kind of ornaments I mean (if you're
USAnian, anyway), with just a loop at the top. They worked well, we
used them for years. About the time the last of them were disappearing
(xmas ornament gnomes nicking them, I guess), we started seeing a
similar product in stores. Inferior things, not as good as his -- but
they were cheap and they worked well enough.

I made a conscious effort to try to bring back the word "grodie"
(gross) about 3 years ago. I would say it all the time at work. My
coworkers started saying it as well (without really noticing). A
couple of them later reported to me that they had said it outside of
work, and others had made fun of them.
Now, we have some new 15-year-olds working there, and they say
"grodie" all the time. They claim to have been using that word
"forever".
I, of course, believe that it just spread to their circle of friends
over those 3 years. I have successfully revived that word in my town.
They, of course, don't believe me.
(You should be seeing it frequently on tv in another year or two.)
Meanwhile, my brother says he invented reversible baby clothes (blue
on one side, pink on the other). Which might be true, since I've never
seen such a thing in stores. But now's your opportunity to turn that
idea into a million bucks.

An early Nintendo? The nins have an awful lot in common with the
boomers. More than they do with the Xers.
(Note that the definition of X has drifted since it was introduced.
The name has drifted down-time enough that the generation I call the
Nintendos is called "X" by some, who are then seeking a new name for
the space freed up by movign the Xers.

You know, we always say that ("would have made millions") but in

8mm has Nicholas Cage in it. That automatically makes it better then 'General's
Daughter' but only by virtue of the fact Cage used actual acting talents in it.

You mean, of course, the *second* person with the idea. Millions of
Kudos bars, that's what I meant, yeah. But seriously, if it was a
food engineer at Nature Valley or Quaker Oats or wherever, there was
probably a nice bonus. If it was an outsider who sold the idea, I'm
sure it was a tidy lump sum, but not millions. To make millions, you
would want to trade the idea for a stake in the company.

Do you live in a small town? I can barely imagine such a sanguine
attitude towards this problem in a city.

Maybe it's a crappy secondary car and he doesn't want to deal with the
paperwork of disposing it.

I agree. Don't know what's up with Travolta, turning his talen off and on like
that. Maybe the Scientology brainwashing just isn't as effective six months out
of the year, allowing his talent to get through.

It's worse when it rains. The car's locked, so he can't get the top up.

I think Travolta, far more than most actors, needs a great director to
tell him what to do. Without that, he's lost.

I firmly believe that I came up with "Illinoisances" to refer to people
from Illinois.

In a word: Communazis!
Google returns 191 hits; an early one indicates that the term goes
back to WWII. Many of the others look like they might provide
hours of entertainment for conoisseurs of crackpots.

You mean "Communazi"? Gary Greenberg attributed it to Walter Winchell,
but I wouldn't be surprised if it was someone else's 1st. Or do you
mean "Ba'ath"?

In the vein of Communazi, try National Bolshevism. I just heard about
that on WFMU from a Dave Emory tape recorded in Oct. 2002.
Years ago Lyndon LaRouche (who's an interesting if slanted source for
history) explained that Gregor Strasser was a Nazi-Communist. National
Bolshevism, according to Dave Emory, was a movement that started in
Germany in the 1920s & picked up adherents in Russia, and indeed was an
effort to forge a bond between right wingers and Bolshevists and unite
Germany & Russia against the Anglo-Saxons.

A camera that works by recording, say in a computer chip, light levels
and hues coming from all parts of the scene before it. Kinda like how a
digital camera works.
