I stared in fascination at spider man. Light bulbs were driven from my head. Then I remembered ole spidey is faintly gay.

How many perverts does it take to change a light bulb?
just one but it takes a whole emergency room to remove it.

BOPMA (Bulb of peace my *ss)
WOB (War on bulbs)
FMCDS (From my cold, dead socket)
GMTA (Great men twist alike)

katnip, I hadn't read your post yet, I swear. I just saw Howlin's name & a light bulb went on over my head (note the feeble attempt to stay within the thread's theme).

An entire new thread showing photos of Bush in maintenance jump suit changing his own lightbulb atop a ladder. 385 posts with Freeperettes (myprecious included) noting how wonderful W looks in that suit and how lucky Laura is to have such a loving husband.

Seeking help from Freepers.

I am looking to light up a room and need help with selecting a bulb. Should I go with standard, frosted or colored ? Also watts...do I go 20, 40, 60, 120, floodlight ?

Any suggestions ?

1. To: TARDshow (#0) Thats right Toddster. FR is so gone because the light bulb is out. I give it 4 weeks, Jim needs to can the socialists, and I'm waiting for the Bushbots to come here so I can really give them a piece of my mind while changing the lightbulb.

2. To: TARDshow (#0) This light bulb business sounds so familiar. I hate FR, I hate Jim, I hate everybody. polesmok  posted on  2003-10-14   12:13:35 ET  Reply   Trace

Ever since JustAmy was so mean about that picture, I couldn't gain enough composure to change the light bulb. I just hate them, hate them all for what they did with the darkened Poetry Room. Canuckwhite  posted on  2003-10-14   12:27:18 ET  Reply   Trace
4. To: TARDshow (#0) So typical of treachery against the truest of true conservative ideas by those RINO trolls at FR. I won't even look at them any more. bunnyhop  posted on  2003-10-14   13:57:31 ET  Reply   Trace
5. To: TARDshow (#3) When I was there counting the money and running the show, we got a half a million dollars every quarter from the fundraiser, and could buy the best lightbulbs, which I will sell to FReepers and Lepers at a discount. I'd sooner destroy my former friend's business than watch him thrive, since I'm mad that he wouldn't encourage anarchists to come talk at his site, nor would he just accept the notion that some people prefer the dark. sadjoe  posted on  2003-10-14   14:22:41 ET  Reply

6 creationists to begin arguing the morality of lightbulbs when God clearly created light first.

6 more philosophers to argue that He only screwed it in, and man screwed it up later?

4 evolutionists who point out that the current came came before the bulb.

No need to change the light bulb. After Y2K, there won't be any electricity.

Have you just awakened from a long nap? You are in for a shock and have a lot of catching up to do.

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

I had one of those about a year ago:

A DU troll claiming that black lights are being kept down by 'Big Bulb' conglomerates run by high-wattage white bulbists, while several point out that all bulbs were created equal and endowed with inalienable brights by their creator.

Just remember that without Reddy Kilowatt, this thread is pointless.
