WARNING: CUT AND PASTE
-
i changed a light buld last week in my closet. i could have used a ladder, but i used a chair.
that wasn't safe, i could have tipped over. also its one of those fixtures in the celing where a bulb just screws in. those scare me, i always think the bulb is going to break and i'll get cut or electocuted.
shouldn't this be n the "hardware" forum anyway? i mean it is about a piece of electrical hardware.
in your title for the thread you put "how many" as howmany. dude how are we supposed to read that?
speeling is overrated any way though.. no offence meant.
so this lightbulb (or is it light bulb or even light-bulb) i changed is supposed to be a good one. some GE "pure white" or something.
do we all use GE bulbs? i think they are overrated. shouldn't the government step in and bust up their monopoly?! im mean really who buys those cheapo brand bulbs then have them burn out in a few days? though GE bulbs don't always work great too.
working for Xerox one of our clients is GE and i get to go there and wander around. i've seen the secret "lamp" design lab and those are some sick bastages. they test the lamps on puppies. i dont know how that helps make a better light-bulb but it must do something... i mean they're GE for gosh sakes. why would they do something unnessary or unethical?
i found this: http://www.bulbs.com to be the best place to get lamps. i mean who really has time to go to the store an get some while you are buying milk?
these: http://www.gelighting.com/na/reveal/ are the light bulbs im currently using. they give ok light but they sure dont seem to last good in my closet. the light definatly isn't as "white" as those new headlights you see on cars.
oh BTW

...and 1 to relate light bulbs to the times he got shot at, explain that his house has the best light bulbs money can buy shining on his US flag that has been flying since creation and that the light bulbs in his car will never burn out because it is a BMW and has superior German engineering. :p

The cut and paste comment bit deeper than Seeker it seems.

If so, I regret making the c & p comment. Everybody does it, and I enjoy doing it and reading it as much as anyone. Ripsnort comes up with a lot of good stuff, and I enjoy his posts. I was just having some Thanksgiving fun here, is all. :)

And Rip,
My lightbulb is WAY bigger than yours!

5 from other countries that have banned light bulbs and can see no reason that anyone would really need light. They will explain that since the ban everyone is happy being in the dark.

4 Megatard Voss types to use the thread as a pissing contest so that they can brag about how much better they are at anything remotely related.
eskimo

3 more to explain how they don't really care too much about light bulbs so long as only the right people are allowed to change them and that those people are registered and regulated by the government and.... wear all the proper safety gear.

Takes 110v at 60Hz to light a bulb properly.
Women should be allowed to operate and change light bulbs.
-
1 to go on and on about how we have the right to own and use light bulbs and carry them under our jackets should we so choose.
-
About 15 to repeatedly badger anyone participating in the thread whether they like light bulbs or not, just to satisfy their childish need for mindless amusement.
-
1 to remind people of other countrys of there lightbulby past
-
Kurt Tank invented the lightbulb, or was it Al Gore?

Then someone will argue that they have the right to carry concealed lightbulbs (flashlights in America, Torches everywhere else This causes a separate argument, between Lazs and Beetle). Then they argue that people who own lightbulbs are providing light for everyone else which reduces crime because the criminals don't know which house have light bulbs in them and which don't. The bigger the light bulb the more powerful the deterrent. The more people who carry lightbulbs the less crime there'll be because you never know who's going to flash you with their concealed bulb:D If you know what I mean:rolleyes:

15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct
This should be changed from 15 to 1, and we all know who the 1 is :)
-
Don't forget the multitudes of the politically correct.
I mean "GE Pure White" ????
A purely racist definition!
Boycott Light Bulbs!!
-
And all this is because someone was too dumb to know how to change a lightbulb on their own.

they test the lamps on puppies. i dont know how that helps make a better light-bulb but it must do something... i mean they're GE for gosh sakes. why would they do something unnessary or unethical?
:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

Only dweebs and girlymen change a light bulb head on. Takes real skill to sneak up on one. And "popping" the burned out ones is just inhumane.
-
3 to complain that we changed the lightbuld without UN approval.
4 to say that the lightbulb wouldn't have burned out if Bush would've taken better care of it.
5 to say that the lightbulb burned out because Clinton liked watching Monica with the lights on.
2 to say that burned out lightbulbs in California doesn't matter since they don't have any power anyways.
A couple of FDB's to argue over who would screw it back in.

I bet Sandman'd hit it.
