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"

Oh, Day! I love this! Kudos!!!

Just one! With or without intention...

Selenay · 06-17-2010, 09:21 PM

It only takes one person to change a light bulb,

(but the light bulb has to really want to change.)

suebee · 06-17-2010, 09:22 PM

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!

Gemme · 06-17-2010, 09:28 PM

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

Gayla · 06-17-2010, 09:35 PM

I know the correct answer.

But ALL of you have made it clear that you have no desire to listen to reason so...

Linus · 06-17-2010, 09:40 PM

You forgot one: 142 ask the Tech Geek to change the light bulb for them.

WolfyOne · 06-17-2010, 09:43 PM

my eyes sight comes back from all this
The light bulb was too bright

In other words Day is board.

Curley · 06-17-2010, 11:07 PM

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?

amiyesiam · 06-17-2010, 11:07 PM

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

Have You ever noticed that the lightbulbs are all happily in their boxes, doin' the '69'?

really Diva
how much time have you spent observing light bulbs in their boxes?
snort
lol

adorable · 06-17-2010, 11:46 PM

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.

Random · 06-17-2010, 11:52 PM

1000157217821 to form a committy to discuse if light bulbs really even exist and if they do, then do we really need them...
