7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs

27 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs

53 to flame the spell checkers

41 to correct spelling/grammar flames

6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another

You forgot one group:

8,254 people to watch the lightbulb changer, and immediately open up businesses selling lightbulb changing services.

Be careful when you change your lightbulb! :warning

DirtyDanza 08-30-2003 03:55 PM

acutually I was working electrical for years before I did this shit.... and really and truly "lamp" or "lightbulb" or Light Bulb" are all ok when your working for me... or any other electrical company for that matter.... in fact I think the most common word we used to reffer to a bulb was "Mutherfucker" let me give an example... "Gat damnit Juan, the other mutherfucker over there the bright one" but really though.... all three are used.... lamp is inside the light bulb... the filiment.... some burn gas... so there bulbs.... and only bulbs.... thats like trying to compair... a concrete truck to a cement trucki..... well if were getting technal about it.... cement is in concrete..... hahah..... man I love boards.........

Not to mention ...

15 people to then create automated lightbulb changing scripts and charge $10-15,000 for them; 12 of which won't work at all, and 3 that are buggy with no support or docs.

Plus 2 others to come up with a script that actually works perfectly and for only $800.

Oh and 837 posters to whine that they want a script that does all of that, but it has to be free.

Awwww shucks, I was just one little old post at the end. Credit goes to all the little people that made my post possible. I just stood on the shoulders of giants.:winkwink:

macker 08-31-2003 02:29 AM

Lightbulb changing services offered!

I didn't have a clue before seeing all those people changing the lightbulbs. And now, thanks to you,

I can COPY you, and devalue all our efforts!

Cheers boardmembers.

Expect to see more lightbulb services springing up in the future!
