It is over 300 years since North America split from the continent of Europe to form it's own colony. From the very darkest beginnings America has shown itself to be a country of innovation and discovery. It was Louis Armstrong that discovered the moon in 1969.

All this from humble beginnings. In 1541 Christine Columbine discovered America and named it after it's partner, South America.

Soon after, convicts deemed to dangerous to go to Australia were sent to America. From these dark roots came some of the greatest inventers ever.

Benjeman Franklin who invented the kite.

Paul Newman who invented salad dressing.

Hugh Hefner who invented 3 in a bed.

Abraham Lincoln who invented slavery.

Rosie o'donnell who invented comedy

and finally JFK who invented bullit proof limo's.

Thank you America, have a great day!


you are free at last!

Hahaha And they invented humour as well, so I've been told.


myLot reputation of 84/100. alfieklondyke (1048)   ranked 1,439 out of 27,651 in life  1 year ago

no, Arthur Askey invented humour along with that bloke that stood with half his reflection in a shop window Harry worth.


myLot reputation of 83/100. stmech0 (1333)   ranked 4,308 out of 27,651 in life  1 year ago

Hello, my name's peewee, I don't know why but there you are.


myLot reputation of 83/100. stmech0 (1333)   ranked 4,308 out of 27,651 in life  1 year ago

I could do an Arthur Askey impression but I can't get the voice right.


myLot reputation of 84/100. alfieklondyke (1048)   ranked 1,439 out of 27,651 in life  1 year ago

as long as you don't do a peewee impression and get thrown out the cinema!

Alfie! I cannot believe that you know so much American history, but I do need to correct you. It was not Louis Armstrong, but Lance Armstrong, who walked on the moon in 1969!

But I do appreciate your fine sentiments of love toward the United States of America. You're all heart, alfie!


myLot reputation of 84/100. alfieklondyke (1048)   ranked 1,439 out of 27,651 in life  1 year ago

i beg to differ, you are getting mixed up with neil armstrong who invented the mountain bicycle.

Lance Armstrong was the trumpet player and pilot for Glen Miller.

James Cagney played Glen Miller in the movie 'the miller crossing'

James cagney was more famous for his talk show 'Cagney and Lacey'.

the talkshow was invented by senator Joseph McCarthy.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Transdisc (14831)   ranked 455 out of 27,651 in life  1 year ago

Once again, I humbly bow to your superior knowledge, alfie. Please forgive my insolence.

I thought it impossible for me to learn anything new about North America, but you have proved me wrong! Thank you! I knew the part about senator McCarthy and Lois Armstrong, but the rest was news to me. I had no idea that the kite came from America.

I have another thing to thank the birthday-country for:
Ronald Reagan invented the Hamburger, and brought it to Europe through Germany. Thanks!

Alfie,

You normally do not offend me and I am not overly patriotic but that hurt my feelings a little bit:(!

Alfie bad boy!

oh!! how many people did you upset with this one!

 
7. myLot reputation of 93/100. ljegbers (5761)   ranked 221 out of 27,651 in life   4 months ago

LOL - I think humor was invented before then, like the greats of George Carlin, Richare Pryor and of course the SNL gang all before Rosie's time.

I like the Hugh Hefner one, I think he made fantasy into reality for many a man on that one. Heck, he's still living it today. Now that! That! That's the American dream, well at least for our men folk.

Thank god for Paul Newman!

I am getting a feeling of deja vu here - it is almost as if I have heard these facts somewhere before! lol xxx

I have not had time for Mylot for ages but the pay seemed better so I am trying again. It is great to catch up with Alfie and his exploits. Always guaranteed to bring a smile. I seem from his avatar that he has been doing his exercises and is keeping in great shape.

Things are going well here. Hope they are with you all too.
