4 to point out the spelling/grammatical errors in the posts about changing lightbulbs

3 to post messages reminding the flamers of the "civility thread"

3 to write to the site administrators about the lightbulb discussions, and the inappropriateness to this forum

2 to claim that Frank Zappa was the first prog rocker to change a lightbulb.

10 to argue that those others named are not prog rockers and therefore do not count.

2 to say that Peter Rideout changes lightbulbs better than anyone else

10 to post messages agreeing with previous posts by writing "me too"

1 to post a message saying "Me three" with a laughing emoticon

Okay Easy,

You owe me $45.00 for ruining this pair of trousers and permanently staining the chair I'm sitting in with 13.5 ounces of urine, which gushed forth uncontrollably from my, still jiggling, bladder and puddling on the floor of my office and turning the room into a cess pool, complete with fingerpointing and laughter, which will clearly label me as a "piss-pants" for the next millenia.

Oh, the humanity.

BTW, Peter Rideout can't change a lightbulb worth sh*t.

Well, Sleazy,Wink I may (despite the bald one's asseverations otherwise) change lightbulbs well, but surely sheer volume of bulbs changed counts for something?

Consider: By the time a priggish, pedantic perfectionist like myself Geek has researched the project on the web, then laboriously checked my spelling and grammar with my well-thumbed dictionary (all the while highlighting new, polysyllabic, ever more archaic or obscure words with which to adorn and obfuscate my next scintillating reviewWink), then selected the appropriate font and colour scheme, a fellow like yourself, with his cavalier, "caution to the wind," devil-may-care, "damn the torpedoes -- full speed ahead!" approach to the niceties and conventions of spelling and grammar may well have changed three, even four bulbs! Shocked

Chin up! Pip pip! Don't be so hardon yourself, old chum!Stern Smile

Garion81 said: We have become spinal tap.

There need to be more movies like "Spinal Tap" and "School of Rock". I have a great idea: the story of a band which begins as a rock band with a (stereotypically) unintelligent but loyal and good-natured drummer, a geeky Geddy Lee-loving bassist, a Rick Wakeman/Elton John-type keyboardist, and a heavy metal egotist guitar player (along the lines of Metallica).

The band creates an unlikely hit album (along the lines of DSOTM) after some gigging and is instantly famous. But the extreme creative differences of the band drive it apart, with the keyboardist and the bassist creating a prog band along the lines of Yes (it writes its own in-jokes!) and the guitarist and drummer creating a Metallica-type band.

Yes and Metallica make guest appearances, taking the two bands under their experienced wings. Bill Bruford becomes the drummer for the prog band, making an ELP-like trilogy. The metal band adds a generic "zombie" bassist who knows no complex chords. Yes and Metallica "train" the two bands for the big sterotypical "battle of the bands" finale, but midway thru they realize they are not good enough without the other counterpart band, but they refuse to team up. Metallica and Yes get into fights, with Anderson being all peaceful, then kicking the tar out of Metallica. Suddenly, as the fighting reaches a hilarious climax, Dream Theater enters and shows that you CAN have metal and prog work together. Big "aaawww" and a few hugs. Then Metallica and Yes work together and the prog and metal bands link back up. Then a big corny ending with Metallica and Yes both playing together onstage for the big finale.

Insert your own creative in-jokes and references. It practically writes itself!

Possibly overshadowing Mariah Carey?

With a little work and perserverance, maybe, just maybe, we can change the subject on this topic enough and ramble on and on and on and on and on about nothing in particular; then we'll have the "Discussions not related to music" version of Mariah. (by the way, shouldn't mariah be in this forum anyway?)

Message from http://www.progarchives.com/Collaborators.asp?id=20 - HUGUES CHANTRAINE :

Hi Easy,

Thanks for the hilarious laughs. I'm still laughing at the idea of laughing while reading your text. However your idea has provoked some lower instinct in someone ! I gather you forgot to count the infiltrated pedophile that has been asking younger members to replace the light bulbs in their house wearing a wet T-shirt , but not to warn his parents about it.

Maybe not politically correct but sadly those characters exist. Young progheads, Beware!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Progressively yours

A conspiracy...runs deep...

INVESTIGATION IS REQUIRED!!!

Okay, here are the facts: Max is the administrator, the "top" as we know it. But perhaps he is merely the sunny (okay, not sunny, dark and spooky and Dream Theater-ish) face of a darker "prog" organization. Perhaps even the same "Organization" that murdered John Lennon, Elvis Presley, Jim Morrison (of the Doors), and Kurt Cobain. This "Organization" systematically destroys non-proggers (the intent is good, but it is highly corrupt and EVIL)!

Anyways, Max may or may not be our man. The "founder", if the rumors are true, is none other than the mysterious "ProgLucky" or something like that. Anybody know enough to help in this search?

JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED!!!!

Actually  Peter it is 168 (the same 2 people to post again 2 days later apparently not having left after all)Geek

LOL


One to point out they are not 176 but 170, and another one to point out that no, actually they are only 168, which actually makes them 170 again (the 168 + the one who claimed it had been 170+ the one who claimed it had been 168 only), and with me posting 171 even. Not counting the ones who posted in the meantime.

Although this was posted in last october, it seem like it's still exactly the same here. So nothing has changed since then?!... How can those who are there since more than a year still be here? Wow, bravo guys!

 

3 to post huge pictures of lightbulbs

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.

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

Please excuse me from yesterday, I was f***ed up.

What the hell does "Peasy" mean???    I guess it was a typo that I didn't feel like correcting. Lol.

I like how I said "pretend the little man is waving a peace sign."
