Default How many forum members does it take to change a lightbulb?

How many forum members does it takes to change a light bulb?

1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed
14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently
7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs
1 to move it to the Lighting section
2 to argue then move it to the Electricals section
7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs
5 to flame the spell checkers
3 to correct spelling/grammar flames
6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid
2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"
15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct
19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum
11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum
36 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique and what brands are faulty
7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs
4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's
3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group
13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"
5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy
4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"
13 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs"
1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.


I found this on another forum and I laughed so I felt like sharing!

Very Funny!

We could also add:

1 to write a fiver about changing lightbulbs
10 to quote every possible part of the fiver and append each quote with a variation of , , or ROFL, etc.
4 to argue this is a Star Trek Fiver site, for Pete's sake!

1 to pretend to forensically analyse the lightbulb and see who's DNA's been on it.


That's the funniest thing I've seen all day. That's going in my AIM profile. X3

2 To Write a TopTenList about how many specific forumgoers it would take to change lightbulbs.
5 to write about Data changing a lightbulb while singing a Tribble romantic metal song in the One-By-Three story.

Or, write a Top 10 about how all the forum members would change the lightbulb. Someone should totally do that. XD

1 to mention John or TopHatMan while changing the lightbulb

4 to go get John to change it

2 to come up with ways to replace pie with lightbulbs

1 to say they will do it "soon", while the other gets tired of writing fivers in the dark, so they do it themselves

Only one was left to change the lightbulb on the space station after the latest "space station thwaping" rampage.

0 redshirts since it's considered too dangerous for redshirts to change lightbulbs

On the subject, I recall these parodies being extremely funny: http://www.eviloverlord.com/parodies/


Each Trek series changing a lightbulb... worth a look, if you've not come across it yet.
