P.S. This thread idea was stolen from Turino,
who started this Heinous Fuckery Circa 5-11-07 on the Bee Eff site.

I'm reposting the OP's OP because some of you have turned this into a race-card, socket-fetishizing, bulb-sizest WHINEFEST.

I'm so tired of YOU PEOPLE doing this. YOU PEOPLE (and you know who you are) always do this. You can never stay on topic.

Now, for the love of Edison, can we get back to the original purpose of this thread?
