ieatcrayonz Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 90- 1 to suggest prepping with overnight gooey stuff in the socket.
stuckincincy Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 91 - one to blabber on about some arcane, meaningless, obscure light bulb fact long dead and buried, causing readers to confirm their diagnosis of the poster's senility.
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 94 - 3 posting stupid stevestojan just to try to win tard of the week
smokinandjokin Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 91 - one to blabber on about some arcane, meaningless, obscure light bulb fact long dead and buried, causing readers to confirm their diagnosis of the poster's senility. 794902[/snapback] 95- stuckincincy's post that light bulbs aren't made like they used to be. They burn out way too quickly, but what else would you expect from our liberal, rapid-paced, me-first society? In my day, we used to screw in lightbulbs by turning them to the left AND the right at the same time, with no ladder, and nobody EVER said "!@#$!" when they touched a hot lightbulb, unlike today's punks.

Dan Gross Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 96-100 fat lesbians want in too 794990[/snapback] 200- 100 to sit around and curse the darkness. 203- 3 to declare the new bulb a bust before it's even turned on.

Yet another to insist it's the breaker (despite the fact that everything else on the circuit works), and yet another to insist the whole house needs re-wired. Oh, and 1 to blame JP.
