LOL. Thanks. It gave me a severe case of the giggles too. But, it's not my icon- 4mycountry posted it yesterday in another thread and I just felt compelled to use it in jest. Also Fierce Allegiance trumped the dancing spidy by a count of three, shown below...

[Howlin]

LOL!

2 for blaming the burned out light bulb to be part of the USS Liberty attack cover-up...

6 saying that it wouldn't have burned out if not for the drugged out Libertarians... And the Libertarians responding that it's not the government's job to mandate light bulbs that don't burn out... And to legalize pot!

3 to claim that it's time to WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!!!!!! ALL THE LIGHTBULBS ARE BURNING OUT AND SOON THERE WILL BE NO LIGHTBULBS LEFT!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ET(end tyranny)]

One to post an enormously humongous graphic that slows down the whole thread to a crawl.

Too true!

10 posters will say to not buy lightbulbs from Walmart, because all you can get there are are made in China.

1 will say that when he went to Walmart most lightbulbs he found were made in Mexico.

Then it will devolve into an illegal immigration thread.

2 for blaming the burned out light bulb to be part of the USS Liberty attack cover-up...

How many people from Cambridge MA (The Peoples Republic of Cambridge) does it take to change a light bulb?

Three:

One, a person to write a grant application to pay for it.

Two, a person to invent an organic bulb substitute.

Three, a person to go to court to sue for the right to live in the dark.
