For all lightbulb fans: Read "Gravity's Rainbow" by Thomas Pynchon. In one little episode he mentions the perfect lightbulb (only one of it exists, all the others that were produced along with it aren't). It is for some reason built so perfectly it never burns out, and no-one notices it.

bump also!!
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

to change a light bulb?

Well? how many forum members does it takes 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 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.





Ok I didn't post before Velvetclown.. still it was 8 days before this post

There must be something about clown related users posting this joke

Oh, you idiots!  

How can you people not see that all along this thread, we have become the very thing Easy was listing in his answere. Look at all the previous posts, you will see, every example Easy listed has been said by someone unkowingly.

It's like we're all lab rats or something maaan! I mean, it's like a big conspearousy or something maaan!   It's gotta be the government you know? It's Bush tryin' to read us and our threads maaan.

 

 

 

 

Yes, by the way, I'm just a little bt high.      <------- that is all goin' on in my head right now!

 

We got to pump the stuff to make us tough
from the heart
Its astart
What we need is awareness we cant get careless
Mental self defensive fitness
Make everybody see in order to fight the powers that be
