How many Forum members does it takes to change a light bulb?

Postby MR LIPP on Thu Apr 16, 2009 11:33 am

One to change the light bulb
and to post that the light bulb
has been changed.

Fourteen to share similar experiences
of changing light bulbs and how
the light bulb could have been changed
differently.

Seven to caution about the dangers
of changing light bulbs.

Seven more to point out
spelling/grammar errors
in posts about
changing light bulbs.

Five to flame
the spell checkers.

Three to correct
spelling/grammar
flames.

Six to argue over whether
it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ...
Another six to condemn
those six as stupid.

Fifteen to claim experience
in the lighting industry
and give the correct spelling.

Nineteen to post that this group
is not about light bulbs
and to please take this discussion
to a lightbulb
(or light bulb)
forum.

Eleven to defend the posting
to the group saying that
we all use light bulbs
and therefore the posts
are relevant to this group.

Thirty six to debate
which method of changing
light bulbs is superior,
where to buy the best bulbs,
what brand of light bulbs
work best for this technique
and what brands are faulty

Seven to post URLs
where one can see examples
of different light bulbs.

Four to post that the URLs
were posted incorrectly
and then post the corrected URL.

Three to post about links
they found from the URLs
that are relevant to this group
which makes light bulbs
relevant to this group.

Thirteen to link all posts to date,
quote them in their entirety
including all headers and signatures,
and add
"Me too"

Five to post to the group
that they will no longer post
because they cannot handle
the light bulb controversy.

Four to say
"didn't we go through this
already a short time ago?"

Thirteen to say "
do a Google search
on light bulbs before
posting questions
about light bulbs"

Three to tell a funny story
about their Porsche and a light bulb.

AND

One group lurker
to respond to the original post
6 months from now
with Something unrelated
they found at snopes.Com
and start
all over again!!!!!!

I always thought it would take just one Forum member; he would hold the lightbulb and the world would revolve around him.

You could have just said 169 and saved us all a lot of time and effort reading that :banghead:

(or maybe it was just a little too accurate for this forum) :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:

Technically, go back to line one, it only took one to change the bulb. The rest is just us with too much time on our hands.

I think the BS-ing is an integral part of most of the stuff we do with the club. Would it really be the same to race around the Q all by yourself for 12 laps in 8 hours on a Saturday :rockon: The other 168 are all part of the process :beerchug:

I agree, but it is still fun to make fun of :rockon: (Especially when people get too serious about things) :D

I agree or disagree with all or part of the above statement. Please see previous postings from 2, 4 or 9 months ago. Tire size and compound may affect light brightness and/or heat cycles. :roflmao:

Is it against club rules to have a beer, or two, while changing a light bulb?

I'm not sure Mark knows about shaved light bulbs. He appears to be the expert in "Shaved Monkeys" :shock: ... as per his racing team name.:roflmao:

Does the number of lumens or wattage change the suffix one ones bulb class to production or whatever? :surr: :surr:

Just to make this thread is as random as possible. Here is a new signature for you Mark :roflmao:

I just noticed that this actually adds up to 179. We should debate that for a while. :roflmao: :roflmao:

You should always heat cycle light bulbs. SDG&E will be happy to do this for you for a nominal fee. Shaving light bulbs can yield better times, but may decrease the life of the bulb. Shaved Monkeys are much faster due to decreased wind resistance and they also run much cooler on hot days. Image :roflmao:

As long as all of the cones are in the trailer, you can have a beer. :beerchug:
