southsider2k5 Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 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 move it to the Lighting section 2 to argue then move it to the Electricals section 7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs 5 to flame the spell checkers 3 to correct spelling/grammar flames 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 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.

NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 (edited) You're freely assuming the lightbulb would get changed at all. You'd have the gang from the Filibuster arguing back and forth constantly about the spiderweb that is attached to the side of the fixture. The liberals would claim that the species of spider making its web there is endangered and that several dozen environmental impact statements would be required to determine whether the heat and light emanating from the bulb would cause that species to go extinct. On the other hand the right wingers would be advocating a strategy of clear cutting all spider webs within a 10 square mile area saying that spiders are not worth saving and that their presence interferes with commerce and costs Americans jobs and the government tax money. Not to mention that the big nasty spiders were probably planted there by terrorists who are looking scare the bejesus out of housewives. The court case would last for years and the house would remain dark that whole time. Edited June 16, 2006 by NUKE_CLEVELAND Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanOfCorn Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 A post a day relating to the amount of lightbulbs at any one time.
