That is too funny!
To: I still care
You have to use a Red light blub in the darkroom, so you don't re-expose the FLIM.
I was taking a hugh, series shower...
...is something wrong with our light blub?...

6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ...I would have thought light-bulb, with a hyphen.
To: RobFromGa
Sorry, but I'm not tracking well enough to know what you are referring to.
Could you please elaborate?

not directed at you, it was an addition to this list of "how many freepers..." that this thread is about. Yours was the last post in the thread when I replied. Sorry for any confusion. Merry Christmas/

Three pings for the thread nannies under the sky,
Seven for the spelling-lords with their Webster's tome,
Nine for libertarians doomed to die,
One for the Admin moderator on his dark throne
In the Land of cyber where the servers lie.
One ping to the sidebar mod, One ping to chide them,
One ping to lock the thread and in the sidebar bind them
In the Land of cyber where the servers lie.

Why isn't this breaking news or does it only become breaking news when Al Gore takes credit for inventing the light bulb?
