Here's another: "Lamps and light bulbs are all made by Chicoms and sold by Wal-Mart to fund new Chinese missiles aimed at the US." (and I'm good at this kind of post too).

[Tamzee]

[tpaine]

Don't forget the need for an old curmudgeon to comment to everyone:

"I think you may have me mistaken for someone who gives a crap about changing light bulbs."

[stands2reason]

Okay, that's Nancy Kerrigan, Mr. Clean, and Spidey, who's the other guy?

[stands2reason]

And one freeper to say, "it's set up us the bomb, not set us up the bomb."

[Tamzee]

Ahhh, thanks...that's what I get for multi-tasking ...Gee, hope I didn't tell my client to make his time ;-)

I don’t really have time for a full answer, so here are a few standard Freeper answers:

Obviously you are a victim of public schools.

You won’t be able to fix this until Clinton is out of the Senate.

There is a solution, but what are thinking? If we post the answer here, Al Queda will know.

How many freepers does it take to change a light bulb?

Depeneds on which FReeper it is.
Those of us with artillery backgrounds will first launch the bulb 'just because'.
Those of us with weapons proficiency will use it as an impromptu target.
And others will merely throw it to make it pop loudly.
*chuckle*

[Yeti]

Funny, I don't remember a spider-man guy in the Village People

[TaxRelief]

What about the images? How many people put up pictures of lightbulbs (lamps)?

[Victoria Delsoul]

This is really funny. LOL!!!

[SAMWolf]

Those of us with artillery backgrounds will first launch the bulb 'just because'.

Do mortars count?

[Robert A Cook PE]

In the fast lane, express cehck out lane, or the back seat?

In keeping with the lack of loose threads of this light-hearted theme ...

With the lights on? Or your eyes shut?

At least one FReeper, that would be me, bitching that the article was unnecessarily excerpted. And further bitching that the link is to a page with 117 graphics and three pop-up ads when the poster could have just as easily linked to the "printer friendly" version of the article that has minimal graphics and no pop up ads.

LOL
