Mrs. Peel Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 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 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 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 URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's 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 to bring politics into the discussion by adding that George W. isn't the brightest bulb. 4 more to get into personal attacks over their political views. 1 moderator to lock the light bulb thread and 1 forum lurker to link to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again...

Edie Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 There should be something in there about how all lightbulb changers are related to Nazis, or somesuch. And it should be "URLs" -- no apostrophe! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 You forgot: 4 to start new threads mocking the original light bulb thread Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 And it should be "URLs" -- no apostrophe! I know, I thought about correcting the spelling and punctuation mistakes, but then I realized that since I've copied the post from another forum, I'd only be displaying the characteristics of the group he was mocking if I corrected it! And no one has told me this should be in the Random Thoughts Forum yet....I'm disappointed. That's the sole reason I posted it here! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
quarter23cd Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 6 people to create 6 new aliases each, and stage an elaborate argument in which all of them end up quitting the board simultaneously also I don't think we should be talking about this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Atticus Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 other than leaving out the 5-10 posters who would argue whether the bulb needed changing to begin with, I think that's just about spot on. well done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trish Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Also, Dreamin' will point out that the electric light bulb was invented by a Canadian. As a proud alum of Thomas Edison Elementary School, I'm going to take this as a personal insult and quit the board. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theashtraysays Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I am appalled by the disrespect you people have for light bulbs. Have you all thought about how the light bulbs must feel about all of this? It's a disgrace, and I shall have no part in it, I tell you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
