Wee.

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?

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

No thanks. I don't need to wrap my delicates in the folds of a rabid ferret.

My bulbs might burst.

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.

Members of the FLLBA (Ferret love light bulb association) have no place on the planet!! Use of a pic that poor ferret's vaygagay - SHAMELESS (although I see your point)!!! - That poor thing was probably brought here from some far away land against its will and FORCED to love that bulb just for a couple raisins!

Perhaps you would prefer the de-furred version?

I said RABID ferrets. All domesticated ferrets that have their shots are exempt from my contempt. Don't generalize my specification.

If a rabid ferret comes in here, demanding an apology, I shall give it. Only then.

Oh, and did you HAVE to pick one with a cooter showing? My eyes! My eyes!

What's a time out?

Much better, thank you. They have a certain something...a flare....a spark about them, don't they?

And one to bring the thread back to a dose of reality:

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.
