| 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!

(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 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....

15 know-it-alls who claim *they* were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct
154 to email the participant's ISPs complaining that they are in violation of their "acceptable use policy"
118 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum
203 to demand that cross posting to hardware forum, off-topic forum, and lightbulb forum about changing light bulbs be stopped
111 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts *are* relevant to this forum
306 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
1 to ask if when buying a new bulb they should go for a screw or bayonet type
98 to argue that their version of screw in or bayonet is better than the other and always will
27 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs
14 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
33 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"

19 to quote the "Me too's" to say "Me three"

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.

| 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 |
