At least one who will point out that this is hugh and series because a cheese-head moose bit his sister's lightbulb while she was in the shower...

How many DU'ers does it take to change a light bulb.

3 to figure out how to change the lightbulb.

10 to call say Bush stole the election.

5 to say Christians suck.

8 to post profanity that would get you banned on the FR.

All of them to post stupid quites from famous liberals from days gone by

3 to say no blood for oil.

4 to say "keep your laws off of my body"

notice there aren't as many DU'ers as there are Freepers.

It wasn't that hard to write. Just imagine sitting there in the soft glow of the monitor as it reflects off your desktop shrine of framed and glassed Ann Coulter magazine photos, while being comforted by the screams from the pit in the basement, all conveniently located next to your computer station.

I just looked up warped in the dictionary so I could see a picture of what you look like.

15 to blame Clinton for the light bulb going out.

And, one to claim that your position makes you a “Clinton Lover”.

You are on a ROLL today! Enjoying every single one of them!

Thank you...if I have any function at FR, it is to be a smartass. But I try to be the best smartass I can be! I haven't laughed at a thread this much in a long time.

Freepers who change lightbulbs are not real patriots or conservatives

Role playing helps that green color. Breath deeply while thinking serene thoughts about luckily finding Ann Coulter getting into her car in a darkened mall parking lot, and hope that her can of pepper spray ran dry.

12 to haughtily proclaim that it wouldn't have burned out if it was a Mac.

Born, I think they are talking about you behind your back.;-)

At least one poster who will come onto an 800 post thread and start replying to people at the very beginning of the thread!

Oh sh*t, is that bad!?

And hoping that she doesn't follow the idea of "It is better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6" re: concealed carry.

At least one Freeper to complain that these lighbulbs aren't like the lightbulbs use to be on FR, back in the "good old days."

And someone to point out a new-bulb-changer's earliest bulb-changing date: "Bulb-changer since 10-23-2003"

Plus someone to complain that, as a long-time bulb changer, his bulb-changing privileges were revoked for no apparent reason after he installed what he considered to be a perfectly reasonable bulb, within bulb-changing guidelines.

Someone to put a bulb with his initials on it, only for fifty people to chastise him for 'worthless vanity bulbs'.
