[Twinkie]

You forgot the negative disapproving post from my
alter ego, Twinkie.

[RightWhale]

I had to halt the download due to overheating of the modem.

[XRdsRev]

Don't forget the guy from Texas who'll claim that lightbulbs made in Texas emit better light than any Yankee lightbulb.

How many Freepers to change a light bulb?

Just one. But he would just stand still because Freepers believe that the whole world revolves around them.

*Sneer*

Followed by at least ten "real conservatives" who arrive to tell us all that this is not, in fact, a "true" lightbulb and we've all sold out!

[TheBigB]

How about f.christian to post...

Lightbulb==>light bulb/bulb of light-->light=goodness/...wins!

[Lil'freeper]

Well... it *does*!!

[newgeezer]

Yo, Tex. Contrary to what you may be hearing at home, bigger is not always better. 1,284,963 bytes dedicated to people admiring a lightbulb might cause our bandwidth-challenged colleagues some heartburn. :-)

[Willie Green]

I always loved the FISH ones!

[Oldeconomybuyer]

And another Texan to note the correct pronunciation is "light bub".

[Lando Lincoln]

I'm pretty certain that Clinton gave our advanced lightbulb secrets to the Chinese, didn't he?

[Poohbah]

And another one to post how a moose bit his light bulb once...

[glock rocks]

Now, if I only knew why the FReeper crossed the road..........

to change the lightbulb.

[Howlin]

They call most others BINOs, Bulbists-in-name-only.

ROFLMAO!!!!

[newgeezer]

That's exactly what I figured you meant.

Still waiting.

[Skooz]

And yet another Texan to note the correct pronunciation is "laat bub".

[Howlin]

56,432 to pray for the removed light bulb, and to declare that it had plenty of life left in it.

Oh, that is HILARIOUS.........just hilarious!

[showme_the_Glory]

We use flourescent lamps. They out last the incandescent light bulbs. Gas vs filament and all that, you know. Less filling.

Lightbulb==>light bulb/bulb of light-->light=goodness/...wins!

On a thread last year I asked the rhetorical question, "Why do f.christian's posts remind me of William Shatner reading an e.e. cummings poem?" That was the first time I got the ultimate compliment, "Your post made my week!"
