Eleven to defend the posting to the group saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this group.

Four to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL.

500,000 conformist journalists worldwide to blame everything on FEMA... and completely neglect to mention that the Governor, Chocolate City Mayor, and some individual citizens failed to attempt to change the light bulb themselves

[DanOrion]

the difficulty of the move to change the lightbulb remains a glaring question. Andy, are your refering to a class V it a must-make lightbulb change?

...and one to think he's pretty clever, but later relize that the afternoon coffee gave the appearnce of wit to an otherwise mundane comment

[Yonder_River]

Do we have to get started on this sh*t again??

Looks like Andy H. should read the last sentence he posted.

Someone has to dislocate their shoulder while changing a lightbulb and then ask about great shoulder surgeons in their area.

[Bobby Whitit]

What is the best Creek Boat to change the lightbulb with?

[COUNT]

1 to say that screwing in the lightbulb really isn't that hard (he's screwed in much gnarlier lightbulbs).

4 to argue about how we should change lightbulb ratings.

3 to get pissed because the location of the lightbulb should not be divulged.

1 to lie and say the light bulb is broken when it really isn't.

10 to now start looking for clues to tell the whole world where the lightbulb really is.

2 to tell everybody there are much nicer lightbulbs elsewhere, its not worth fighting over.

8 to bicker over why the lightbulb is or is not evil, simply because it was made in Texas.

2 to keep "bumping" the topic to the top of the list.

2 to complain and request that Sparky, the forum moderator, lock and remove the inconsiderate lightbulb thread.

[tboner]

1 to tell everyone just because they change lightbulbs doesn't make them cool.

[COUNT]

Oh yeah, and 3 to claim the lightbulb forum just isn't what it used to be in the good ol' days.
