Crap Throwing Monkey Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 You forgot the one poster to make a totally gratuitious comment about #89's rack. Oh...and one to complain that somebody threw a lightbulb at Ron Artest, and if it takes you less than an hour to change a light bulb you're not doing it right.
Dan Gross Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 What about the 4 that argue that there was wrong with the original bulb? and don't forget that it started with 37 cursing the darkness...
dib Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 and remember they'll try 4 times and never quite get it in.

Ramius Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 You forgot 1 to post that they have an "inside source" at GE, close to the CEO, who knows exactly what type of bulb should and shouldnt be purchased. 14 posts to blame the light bulb burning out on JP/TD/Levy/Bills o-line
Just Jack Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 And one person to register the name "Light Bulb" and posted that maybe they don't want to change.
Draconator Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 How many drummers does it take to change a light bulb? 10. 1 to change it, 9 others to comment how much better Neil Peart would have changed the light bulb.

Puhonix Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Can't someone balme TD for the original light bulb burning out?
Realist Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Can't someone balme TD for the original light bulb burning out? 598491[/snapback] Yeah, he shouldn't have been so cheap and bought a no name brand. Should have went out and got an halogen bulb.
GoodBye Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Did you know that Ben Franklin made the first preliminary sketches of the light bulb?
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Did you know that Ben Franklin made the first preliminary sketches of the light bulb? 598807[/snapback] Of course, they weren't very good sketches. He did them at night, and it was too dark to draw properly... Thank you, thank you...I'll be here all week...
