One to change the light bulb.
Four to post that the light bulb has been changed.
Fourteen to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently.
Five to complain that light bulb should never be changed on a Sunday.
Four to complain that we should have used a more environmentally friendly lightbulb.
Seven to caution about the injuries that come from changing light bulbs too fast.
Eightteen to decry the fact that their gizmo thought the light bulb changing took too long.
Seven more to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs.
Five to flame the spell checkers.
Three to correct spelling/grammar flames.
Six to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ...
Another six to condemn those six as stupid.
And another six to call anybody who cares a light bulb elitist.
With at least two more calling everybody else a light bulb faddist.
Fifteen to claim experience in the lighting industry and give the correct spelling.
Nineteen to post that this group is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb (or light bulb) forum.
Eleven to defend the posting to the group saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this group.
Seven to post URLs where one can see examples of different light bulbs.
Four to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL.
Three to post about links they found from the URLs that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group.
Thirteen to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"
Five to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy.
Four to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"
Thirteen to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs"
Three to tell a funny story about their show dog and a light bulb.
And one to delete the whole thread.

Where's the light bulb? Did you track the route on your Garmin? ZZ's a great discount shopper - bet she could find the best prices for future reference.

| Well now you've done it. What glove should I wear while changing a bulb, or should I change it "barehanded"? Should I stretch before changing the bulb? What are your favorite pre-bulb-changing meals? Should I taper before changing a whole bunch of bulbs? Is it OK to wear a mp3 player? ... |

It would take another six, to open up randomly named 'Light bulb changing' user groups so that we can all change 'light bulbs' to a point where we beat a fictional critter whilst discussing breasts, fetishes and goals and a further sensible member to point out the inappropriateness of the level of pornography on what is upposed to be a light bulb related forum, thus forcing one of the aforementioned groups to become password protected - also upping the ante and forcing us to post more porn just to justify the password status.
Or something. |

It will also take Kooky Cheapdate 'not long' to lower the tone of the thread.

If you hold the bulb steady and run around in a circle to unscrew it - can you log the miles?
