How Many Planeteers Does it Take to Derail a Thread? - Page 2

Ugh! Seriously!!!!

Why does everyone want to CHANGE the bulb?? Why can't the bulb just be how it is and that be ok? Just because we're not a bulb in the same way doesn't mean that bulbs can't be here too. There is enough room in this community for all bulbs, red, green, purple, orange, frosted, 3-way, flood and even burnouts.

I personally am tired of bulbs being expected to change just so that everyone else can see the light and feel comfortable.

Editing so Y'all know that when I say "..it's all I got" I clearly know it is inappropriate for "..it's all I have..."

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?

Something about the right of bulbs to screw in sockets, I think. It's all so vague now.

I'm so offended. On behalf of ferret lovers everywhere, I demand that you take that back. I expect a full apology and a self-timing out for at least 1 week.

You people?! YOU PEOPLE?! I thought I knew you. I wonder if the owner of this site knows that they have bulbism like this going on. Just blatant bulbism. I'm very disappointed.

Oh you can just bite me. Just because you used to date me gives you no right to speak to me like that. I'll have you know I'm not a bulbist and I take that comment very personally.

See you at dinner.

How many are we up to???

Abigail Crabby · 08-16-2010, 08:39 PM

I came in to count - I thought this was the tootsie pop thread

Daywalker · 02-13-2011, 11:38 PM

So I have acquired a huge black 'Rave' type of
spinning light ball thingy with lots of groovy colors.

It's going to be the center piece to the Groovy
70's hang out pad theme in the garage.

It turns, but the colored lights are a no show.

So I opened it up and found a very Speshel bulb that I will likely shuffle
to the ends of the Earth looking for...and well, I thought of this thread.
