Also I would un-invent Gilbert Godfrey.

If nukes are off the table, then the BCS

Segways. I mean really? People on those things are tools. Oh, and droopy drawers that seem to be coming back into style. Dear inner city-urban guys, if I wanted to see your Hanes boxer-briefs, I'd buy you a drink first.

Maybe car alarms.

jeggings. if i have to be more specific, then white jeggings. i saw them at harris teeter this weekend and i fled from the sight of them. also i was done shopping and on my way out anyway, but i prefer to think of it as fleeing the jeggings.

Who's the greatest college basketball team of all time?

D U K E

ooh, car alarms is a good answer. I would uninvent the peanut butter and jelly combo jars. I don't even know if they are still around, but the concept just pisses me off.

Well of course Duke is the best college basketball team of all time. But that doesn't answer the QOTD. I'd un-invent pyramid schemes. I'm looking at you, Scientology.

the entire concept of celebrity and oversharing.

and totes with john, the bcs.

Dan said...

Fox News, televangelism and crack.

i would uninvent wendys square hamburgers with round buns and round chicken sandwiches with square buns.

its just stupid.

Flannery said...

God. Runner-up: the whammy bar.

Scottie said...

I'd uninvent what was once known as The Learning Channel, and has now become TLC: Now With Midget Exploitation and Glorification of Overpopulationists!!

How about morgage backed security exchanges? Or IEDs and landmines? Or Ponzi schemes ala Madoff? Humanity is a little too good at inventing ways to treat each other like dirt. :-/
