How many forummembers ...

I got caught up in a brib.... uh, educational trip with general electric, after some tough rounds of negotiations i have come to the conclusion that the lightbulb doesn't need to be changed unless it's replaced by a lightbulb from general electric Ultra-High-Definition Lightbulbs TM.

Violations of this guideline will be sanctioned by death, re-education camp, and then death again.

Lol good to see this thread back I knew I had to seize the moment.

Just make sure you switch off the light before you start to change the bulb - you don't want to get hurt!

 

[Nerowannabe]

lol will do

You should use this kind of bulb. It's more efficient.

 

[anyoldguy]

It does, however, require a significantly higher energy cost to manufacture. Believe me, I'm an industry expert.

How non-forum members would change a light bulb:



Look at their efficiency! Just 2 of them! We need to improve people! Stat!

Non forum members have bunnies willing to hump them? I'm leaving the forum!

If they bulbed electricity: Can't tell.
If not: See above.

Brilliant thread.

 

[LAnkou]

I don't know how many necromancers there is in the world, but i'm starting to think this thread is a Necro-magnet...

Can a lamp or a light bulb or a lightbulb be a magnet too?
How do you classify neon Tube?

Well, that'd depends on the material I would think.

How do you classify neon Tube?

I just call them neon light.

 

[classical_hero]

It's not a lamp.

 

[LAnkou]

I just call them neon light.

But a light is not a lightbulb?
