1, I just changed a light bulb in my hallway.

[Heads22]

You forgot the blatant anti-lightbulb bias.

[Rex Kickass]

That's everywhere these days. I blame the Tribune company.

[NUKE_CLEVELAND]

You're freely assuming the lightbulb would get changed at all.

 

You'd have the gang from the Filibuster arguing back and forth constantly about the spiderweb that is attached to the side of the fixture. The liberals would claim that the species of spider making its web there is endangered and that several dozen environmental impact statements would be required to determine whether the heat and light emanating from the bulb would cause that species to go extinct. On the other hand the right wingers would be advocating a strategy of clear cutting all spider webs within a 10 square mile area saying that spiders are not worth saving and that their presence interferes with commerce and costs Americans jobs and the government tax money. Not to mention that the big nasty spiders were probably planted there by terrorists who are looking scare the bejesus out of housewives.

 

The court case would last for years and the house would remain dark that whole time.

Good work Nuke

A post a day relating to the amount of lightbulbs at any one time.

 

"Well, on Mondays there are only 20 lightbulbs on the shelves while on Saturday, there are 100. Should I be worried?"

[SoxFanForever]

What about the continuing decline and fall of lightbulb?

[CanOfCorn]

1 poster that gives the lightbulb a pithy nickname...like "dark" bulb.

[SoxFan1]

1 poster that gives the lightbulb a pithy nickname...like "dark" bulb.

Then 4 more posters about how giving negative nicknames are played out and not funny.

[knightni]

Then, one poster posts a pic of himself where that user has a rounded head and gets nicknamed "lightbulb boy".

We can't forget about the power happy admin who owns a lightbulb factory who bans anyone who talks bad about lightbulb manufacturers.

Nor can we forget about the poster who pays the lightbulb factory bills :rolly

Nah, I think that other lightbulb manufacturer has those kinds of issues. This one, fortunately, doesn't.

No lightbulb thread is complete without a link to this page.

 

The lightbulb has been burning since 1901!
