[MarkL]

1 to post that changing a light bulb is series business, and another to mention how hugh a job it is.

Then another 426 posts about hugh, series, moose (meece?) and cheese!

Mark

[Still Thinking]

And Willie Green to post about the factory being closed down.

[Skooz]

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

[demlosers]

30 Bushbots verbally attack the offending light bulb. :)

[dts32041]

BFL

[Oldeconomybuyer]

...and the 1 and only mhking to read the assorted tomfoolery and silliness and post, "Just Damn."...

What about the "Ahhh Jeezzze, Not This Shi'ite Again" graphic?

[EllaMinnow]

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

87 to claim that it's a LBINO.

[TexKat]

[Constitutional Patriot]

Did we forget the ever-present DU troll who infiltrates the thread and spews how if it were not for Clinton/Gore there wouldn't be any light bulbs?...Or that thanks to Bush, the elderly, children, women and minorities have no light bulbs?

[TrappedInLiberalHell]

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.

*ONE* to *OVEREMPHASIZE* the *SIGNIFICANCE* of the *MUNDANITY* of a *BROKEN* *LIGHT* *BULB*!

The creator of the bulb, every now and then, will pop in to lecture his minions on proper bulb-changing etiquette, and not to post anything from DU (darkness unlimited)

This is fun, I could come up with these all afternoon!

[Lando Lincoln]

And let's not forget the FReeper who would try to morph the thread into a discussion on evolution vs. creationism (I suspect one would change the light bulb more efficiently but I'm not sure).

[proud American in Canada]

your Spidey icon is hysterical. I showed it to my son (8) and he said, "When is he going to stop dancing?"

"he's a dancing machine.... "

[bootless]

That, too.

And one hardworking Freeper to write an actual opus for the light bulb.

[Hatteras]

What about the diference between Yankee light bulbs and Southern By the Grace of God lightbulbs?
