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

[Stoney Pete]

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?"

How did I know that was coming

[Delmonico]

Well even if you don't live in a soddy, they still are nice for when the power goes out.

I am looking rather seedy now while holding down my claim
And my victuals are not always sewed the best
And the mice play shyly round me as I nestle down to rest
In my little old sod shanty on my claim.

CHORUS:
The hinges are of leather and the windows have no glass
And the board roof lets the howling blizzards in
And I hear the hungry coyote as he sneaks up through the grass
Round my little old sod shanty on my claim
 
Yet I rather like the novelty of living in this way
Thought my bill of fare is always rather tame
But I am happy as a clam, on this land of Uncle Sam
In the little old sod shanty on my claim.

BCHORUS:
The hinges are of leather and the windows have no glass
And the board roof lets the howling blizzards in
And I hear the hungry coyote as he sneaks up through the grass
Round my little old sod shanty on my claim
 
ut when I left my eastern home a bachelor so gay
To try and win my wealth and fame
I little thought that I'd come down to burning twisted hay
In my little old sod shanty on my claim.

CHORUS:
The hinges are of leather and the windows have no glass
And the board roof lets the howling blizzards in
And I hear the hungry coyote as he sneaks up through the grass
Round my little old sod shanty on my claim
 
My clothes are spattered o'er with dough, I'm looking like a fright
And everything is scattered round the room
But I wouldn't give the freedom that I have out in the West
For the babble of the Eastern man's old home.

CHORUS:
The hinges are of leather and the windows have no glass
And the board roof lets the howling blizzards in
And I hear the hungry coyote as he sneaks up through the grass
Round my little old sod shanty on my claim
 
Still, I wish that kind hearted girl would pity on me take
And relieve me the mess that I am in
The angel, how I'd bless her if this her home she'd make
In the little old sod shanty on my claim.

CHORUS:
The hinges are of leather and the windows have no glass
And the board roof lets the howling blizzards in
And I hear the hungry coyote as he sneaks up through the grass
Round my little old sod shanty on my claim
 


Think I'll try this link:

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Del, Coaloil Computer link isn't working........

[Delmonico]

Try it again later, the webmaster sometimes forgets to fill the tank.

[Sod Buster]

Try it again later, the webmaster sometimes forgets to fill the tank.

Still not working for me.
Neither is the other link you posted..... www.e-mailbride.com

[Delmonico]

Hmmmmmmmm, it works for me, might be your Internet provider.

I used to have trouble on my dial up, it used the top wire of a bobwire fencne.  I have broadband now, it uses all four strands.

This is now my provider:

I see it's still  DARK  in here   guess I'll have to change the bulb myself. 


Could one of you please light a candle till I get the ladder

[Trinity]

I don't think this conversation has anything to do about CAS!  Please end it or I'm deleting my account!!!!!!!    Never mind that I'll sign in again a few days later with a different name.

OH! and give me some money because I'm having hard times or I'll cuss you all out for not acting the "Cowboy Way"

[Ozark Tracker]

Trinity,  seeing as you complained the loudest or maybe just last here you go.

[Delmonico]

Let's have a moment of silence for all those who's light's are on, but nobody is at home.

I appreciate the ticket, but according to the fine print, I'm excluded.
