Should have posted this in Technical...! -explains a LOT !!
 

(unabashedly stolen from another group:)

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 propose a new Lighting section.

2 to argue that an Electricals section would be much more useful.

7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs.

5 to flame the spell checkers.

3 to correct spelling/grammar in flame posts.

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.

19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb 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.

7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs.

4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's.

3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group.

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 Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs."

1 lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again

How does one slap cratch with a light bulb?

Yep - forgot (1) for the obligatory "cratch slap" reference!

4 to suggest its Bush's fault that the lightbulb went out in the first place

4 to suggest its actually Clinton's fault for not making lightbulb legislation

To correct your grammar on here, you would want to say URLs, because you are trying to make URL plural, not possessive.

I changed a light bulb once. It broke whilst being removed from the socket, and cut my finger open. Must have been made in China.

How does one remove said light bulb from anus?

So you don't believe in God?

Ya know God created the light in light bulbs.....:eek:

Not Al Gore?

or...... Gore = God?

Is that what you're suggesting?

Very Carefully?

You forgot 22 people posting smart ass (although humorous) answers ;)

BTW, use a carrot or potato to unscrew a broken light bulb brom a socket. I know a guy who's brothers, cousin's uncle's next door neghbor used needle nose pliars but didn't shut off the power. He got grounded for it.

Or, replace it with a flurescent bulb, that one simple act will prevent your kids from growing up in a barren desert world with no food or water and will take 200,000,000 cars off the road ;)

Pluis you will save enough electricity to pay for the cost of that $10 bulb in just 28 short years.

A thin coating of Petroleum Jelly on light bulb threads will prevent them from sticking when they need to be replaced.

So you are basically saying that you believe that global warming is being induced by Gore, the Chinese and God . . . and Bush in a double secret pact with Gore and God? :D

Best,

Kurt

Tell that to the guy (or gal) with the bulb up the bum.

And the ten or eleven folks that do not recognize that the smart asses are being smart ass.

Isn't that like the debate on whether or not to put anit-seize on the threads of your spark plugs?

How many gays does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Two. One to screw it in and the other to say ``Fabulous.''

I thought it was two, but they had to be really tiny gays.

Lubemaster? Care to comment?

You forgot the two *********s that will say "use the search function" to anything and everything.

And the 1 guy who didn't RTFA. :D

From the original post:

"13 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs."

This is all most illuminating.

Funny, I was thinking: "This is almost illuminating."

Now this is one funny thread. LMAO

Help!!
 

HELP!

I broke a light bulb while slapping cratch. Is there some upgraded light bulb that won't break so easily? Is there an updated cratch that is less prone to causing this failure? :eek:

or have your wife do it

One more to say that it's time to substitute a florescent lamp.

10 more to debate that.

On the possessive grammar, I will acknowledge that no apostrophe is needed, but it does make for easier reading. I still say (type) 911's because 911s has another meaning that sometimes we don't want. Sure, I could say 911 S, but 911s looks pretty much the same to me.

very carefully

You can't, you've wrecked'um.

+1 to whatever has been said up to this point.

the only thing this thread needs...........................




























is more cowbell :D

That hurts to watch.

Won't somebody think of the children?

Rexav8r on grammer: "hey man, I just copied and pasted from somewhere else."

"go yell at him..."





This is hilarious.... I feel like I just pushed the first domino.

Righty-tighty, lefty-loosey.

-not in another x-ray I hope !

I respectfully disagree... I don't find this thread funny at all...
Especially the X-ray part...
And the disrespectful talk of God...
And the misspelling...
And the bad grammar...
And the talk of Al Gore...

I HATE ALL OF YOU!!!

Oh yeah, on PPOT we need to add:
One person calling another a poopy head.
Another person randomly mentioning boobs.

poopy head

boobs
