How many forum members does it take...

Me? Oh I'm saying nothing, don't want to get involved.


(I realise of course that I am getting involved just by stating that I'm saying nothing, but since it's a little difficult to stand in the corner of this non-existant room and look thoughtful...)

You'd also have:

3 members insisting that classical light bulb changers only used Louis XIV chairs for vertical support

14 members opining that sport light bulb enthusiasts have evolved to more dynamic lifts like folding ladders

4 members pointing out that classical 'bulbers could change with either hand

and Mo demanding that everyone quit assuming that only men can change the bulb in the 1st place!

the 5 posts about mike eskin changing the lightbulb in the mike eskin signature thong

the 2 attached pictures of mike eskin

and the 70 posts protesting talk about mike eskin in a thong and the resulting pictures.

(note that mike won't be in those 70 posts) [/B]

Yeah, strange. I keep chumming the water, just hoping for him to come lunging out of the deep, so I could say: "You're gonna need a bigger thong!" But alas:

By the way, here's another picture of Mike at a R&D meeting of the Mike Eskin Signature Series (tm) brain trust. Note the youngest board member admiring Mike's modelling of the pewter and taupe "Super Absorbent Big Boy Thong" (tm), a unit designed for those who perspire heavily during extreme fencing.

I am sooooo glad i don't know what you guys are talking about.

[latenight]

I just want to point out that not all "german" light bulbs are in fact made in Germany and that many of the so called "german" light bulbs are made in Eastern Europe and may no tbe compatible with Allstar/Uhlmann Sockets.

Also, I heard you can geat a great deal on beginner light bulbs from Blue Gauntlet....

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

You know who you are....

I am the forum lurker!!! *evil laugh*

Actually, I was looking for a thread and dug this up out of the stacks of dusty, disintegrating documents. There's been a turnover of members and I thought all of us newer people would like this.

[CutLass]

And 1 former lurker to dig through the dust and turn up old posts.

[KD5MDK]

And I'm sorry to say somebody stole my idea about German vs. Uhlmann light bulb sockets 2 years ago...

[Chafunkta]

This poll is flawed.

[mrbiggs]

3 to point out that if the lightbulbs were sharp, the standard, palmed method of screwing in the lightbulb would be suicide. Or at least give you a whole in your hand.

1 to point out that the lightbulb is flawed

4 to tell Inq to stop saying that

1 to make a post connecting lightbulbs to television or something

50 to continue the television discussion for the rest of the thread, as the lightbulbs are forgotten

1 or 2 to occaisionally bring lightbulbs back up, responding to the original question

[AndrastVitesse]

This poll is flawed.

5 to say the poll is flawed (1 down 4 to go)

3 to say there is no poll

16 to yell about how the whole poll is flawed thing is getting old

[mrbiggs]

Wow, I BLATANTLY stole Chafunkta's joke, didn't I.

Sorry.

[AndrastVitesse]

Wow, I BLATANTLY stole Chafunkta's joke, didn't I.
