awhuber Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 How many forum members does it take to change a light bulb? 1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed. 14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently. 7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs. 1 to post in ALL CAPS 2 to explain that this is considered shouting and impolite 6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... Another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid. 2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp". 15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct. 50 people to argue over the environmental benefit of fluorescent bulbs versus incandescent bulbs 19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a light bulb forum. 11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum. 36 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique and what brands are faulty. 5 People to post pics of their own light bulbs. 15 People to post "I can't see S$%^!" and their own light bulbs. 7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs. 4 to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URLs. 13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too". 5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy. 4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?" 13 to say "do a search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs" 1 moderator to lock the light bulb thread. 1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again. saw this and thought of you guys...
Andy & JoAnne Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 LOL.........and 1 to laugh at the original poster on how anyone could ever come up with such a post. Thanks, that was great.
Tim Smith Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 There's a light bulb thread??? Holy cow, I'd better post there quick!
flytyer57 Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 And after the earthquake takes out the nuclear power plants, the light bulbs all go out. There's a fine line between fishing and sitting there looking stupid.

FishinCricket Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Here is a pic of a couple of lunkers. lol!!! You forgot: 2 to mention that this goes in the jokes section 4 to argue that a discussion about light bulbs should be in the conservation area 11 to proudly exclaim that "Jesus is the only light in their life" cricket.c21.com
jdmidwest Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 You should put it in Conservation as this is one of the last years for the good ole light bulb as we know it to save the world from destruction. After that it is the dangerous squiggly bulbs that spout mercury all over the place when you break them. Of course, if we had a political forum, it could have been placed there too.

So does this mean now when a cartoon character gets an idea it will take longer for his bulb to light up? If you teach your kids to fish, your wife will let you go more often.....

Yep, it may look more like a question mark than a light bulb. "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S. Thompson
