Several hundred suspecting a terrorist act was responsible for the bulb breaking, with one who takes it upon himself to lecture the other hundred on how bulbs break all the time. #96 - LOL!

Hey, I had a teacher from India for statistics that for years called them, "light bluubs".
To this day, I tend to say light bluub.

One freeper to point out the light bulb poster just signed up today and is a troll and a newbie.
To: Sir Gawain
4 to post that if we don't want all the lights to go out at Free Republic, we need to get over to the Freepathon thread to pledge and bump. (PS. These people are right.)
1 to make a comment that will be removed by the moderator.
2 to become indignant about non-political threads.
24 to screech that even the slightest criticism of any Republican light bulb might allow someone to install a Democrat light bulb instead.
7 to say that the light bulb wouldn't have gone out if America weren't so influenced by a "culture of death."

Thanks for clearing this up - as I have frequently ruminated over this question. Now, if I only knew why the FReeper crossed the road.......... Usually it's because a police officer says that the Freeper isn't allowed to Freep on this side of the road.

What about a learned discussion about the relative merits of screw-in v bayonet-type bulbs. Which is associated with solid conservative values and which is the representative of light minded lefty liberals?
To: Sir Gawain
LOL.

306 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 1,231 to argue that the your preferred place to buy light bulbs should be boycotted because they are represented in commercials by a liberal.
To: Mark Felton
And another 12 to accuse "all the liberals" of blaming Bush for the bulb burning out.
To: Quix
3 to post what the losers at DU are saying about the lightbulb thread on FR.
