How Many Planeteers Does it Take to Derail a Thread?
How Many Planeteers Does it Take to Change a Lightbulb?
1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed 14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently 7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs 1 to move it to the Lighting section 2 to argue then move it to the Electricals section 7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs 5 to flame the spell checkers 3 to correct spelling/grammar flames 6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid 2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp" 15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct 19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum 11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum 36 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 ((~~~yep, the Smiley limits kinda suck right now 8^| ~~~)) 7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs 4 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 13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too" 5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy 4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?" 13 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs" 1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Disclaimer: Any Character examples used in the above post that may have an uncanny resemblance to any of you, rest assured you're just being paranoid. Wee. P.S. This thread idea was stolen from Turino, who started this Heinous Fuckery Circa 5-11-07 on the Bee Eff site.

It only takes one person to change a light bulb,
(but the light bulb has to really want to change.)

Let me guess: all your farms are planted and you've just recently changed their design, factories in full production, gifts collected, sent and used, superpokes fed, tickled, washed and their habitats decorated, crows fed and in bed, tunes played, posted and played again, writing finished for the day, Mrs. Day's at work, the supper dishes done and Sampson and Delilah fed and purring beside you. So's all you had left to do was invent another one of your famous threads.
Da loves it!

Just one, but if it's a Gemini, there are about 154 voices inside their head telling them how they can do it.

and 14 who will want to debate the superiority of candle lights
10 who miss the good ol days of gas lights 4 who will talk about the days before light bulbs 16 who want everyone to use the new energy saver bulbs plus there will be at least 20 who must send pm's to every one who disagrees with their own personal light bulbs theories and there must be at least 2 who try to figure out the light bulbs gender id

Too funny Day, thanks you shed light on the topic for me . I am now enlightened and wonder how the poor light bulbs feel? If they like to be referred by their watts or their volts? what the expression "a bright light and the end of the tunnel" really means to them? anyone care to share any more light for me, be it frosted or clear?
