    How many Clutch City BBS'ers does it take to change a light bulb?

    1 to post that the light bulb needs changing
    10 to debate whether or not the light bulb should be changed at all
    3 to call changing the light bulb a waste of taxpayer money
    2 to reference Simpsons episodes in which light bulbs have appeared
    1 to complain that the light bulb post is in the wrong forum
    1 to complain that the thread is a waste of posts and should be deleted (of course, they would do it themselves if they had the ability)

    Feel free to add your own.

    2 to try to trade the light bulb, the ladder, and a draft pick for Kevin Garnett

    1 to ask how much the light bulb will count against the cap.

    25 who don't even know the light bulb needs changing, but will post "Free Post!" anyway.

    1 (we all know who [​IMG]) to draw a flash diagram of the light bulb being changed.

    2 to say the light bulb was a waste of a draft pick, because the light bulb is a "white stiff flashlight clone"

    1 to propose we should trade the light bulb straight up to God for the sun.
    1 to proclaim that this is a "good deal" for both sides.
    500 silent protesters shaking their head in disgust.
    1 to insist we should not trade the light bulb because it has sentimental value.

    1 to tell that the poster that suggested changing the light bulb is an "idiot" or "moron" without explaining why.

    1 to visit from a lantern fan site to insult all light bulbs and espouse a love of sheep.

    20 to call the aforementioned posters a couple of twelve year old that needs to get back to bed before mommy catches them.

    86 to figure out is the change works with RealGM

    24 to wonder if Oeilpere has anything to say about the change

    42 to wonder why we ever got the lightbulb in the first place

    37 to insist that the lightbulb is fine, and that we just need to figure out a way to replace the filament.

    10 will just want to leave it alone -- that spark will come back, just give it time.
    5 will blame the fixture.
    10 will blame the person who bought the crummy light bulb in the first place.
    100 will blame the house -- bad wiring, crummy furniture -- and will demand to take all of the light bulbs to a new one.

    Of course, most of the posters will really wait until a few more go out -- there's more in the house, or wait until their spouses make them. Hey, as long as the computer works, we have light.

    Does anyone remember that Simpsons episode when Homer turned off the light bulbs in his house by shooting them with a gun. That was great. [​IMG]

    Speaking of changing light-bulbs, did yall know (of course you didn't) that I used to have a job whose sole function was changing lightbulbs? I went around all day changing bulbs that were dead.

    It was a summer job at University. You wouldn't believe how many people would ask, "How many college students does it take to change a light-bulb?" and then not have a punch-line. People can be so similarly annoying.

    As for the Simpsons, what about the episode where they give the 25 puppies to Mr. Burns and he makes a ton of money runnig them at the track. At the end, Marge freaks at the shadow of Homer hanging from the rafter in the basement, at which he replies, "Marge, you know swatting this light-bulb is the only thing that makes me happy after giving away those million dollar dogs!" (or something like that).

    How about when Homer got upset because he couldn't understand why his picture was on a box of Mr. Sparkle diswashing detergent.

    After seeing that the logo was a combination of a fish with big eyes and a light bulb, Bart said, "Yep. There's your answer fish-bulb."

    Or when Bart steals the lightbulb from the basement to keep his bird/lizard eggs warm and Homer keeps falling down the stairs

    I like the scene in Hot Shots were the maintenance man was getting all prepared (wires, safety glass, etc.) just to change a light bulb.
