Edit: I just realized this was posted back in August last year by someone else, but hey, it's worth reading again.
Maybe we should add:
>1 person to unknowingly post exactly the same thing as someone else did a while back, and 14 people to direct that person to the original post

LOL

LMAO

that totally just cracked me up!

How True!!

And of course,
15 to talk about the different techniques/equipment they use whilst changing their light bulb and the sort of attachments they use including screw end or stubby
12 to say how long it took them to learn the move in the first place

And

1 who has a new name for it as they do it under the leg BTB with a turn

and more to laugh at the post

and 75295 people to ask about what music everyone like to change lightbulbs to

And if they do it less in Winter

And 1 pounce to turn it into something rude!!




I LOVE this thread!!

1 more person to ask if anyone's tried making coloured lightbulbs
4 people to tell that person to do a seach

1 to claim that they are the jedi of lightbulb changing

30 to ask them to define what makes one a jedi

and 2 people to leave the site as they feel the discussion of lightbulbs is not like the way HOP used to be

4 trillion new people join the site in one week cuz they have seen people changing lightbulbs at festivals and want to get into it

a couple of hundred people to discuss the ideal weight, balence and durability of said lightbulb.

Not to mention a dozen or so people to wonder why on earth anyone's bothering with the light bulb when they could be using candles.

and much discussion on how much to charge for lessons on changing lightbulbs, lightbulb safety in groups and weather lightbulb changing is getting too mainstrem.

5 more people to discuss the Martial arts involved in changing light bulbs
3 to contest that it isn't a martial art - it's a form of dance
1 electrician to point out it's neither - it's a "skill"
2 people to point out it doesn't matter what you call it - as long as you love it
1 person to mope about how all their friends can change lightbulbs better than them
4 people to rush in with 's and tell them they're good at changing light bulbs in "their own way"
1 E-tard to ask if anyone has noticed how trippy it is too turn the lights on and off really quickly

and one custom bug to make a nasty comment about someone else they dont even know when in actuality is turning it into something about themself

and one vegassexgodess to talk about dim lightbulbs

excuse me??!!!??!!! Please explain Vegas

Hilarious.


1 to start an intro thread for the lightbulb.

with a few huge lightbulb parties along the way

this thread is cracking me up

oh and bug, my guess is the interpretation of "rude." in america, rude means inconsiderate, mean, etc. don't worry i know what ya meant
