How many forum posters does it take to change a lightbulb?

Is that a nerdy computing thing ?

A light bulb is the thing you put in an electric light and have to replace every once and awhile.

Okay ! Then, it's simply an ampoule ! Thank you !

The list clearly lacks the 3+ posters to explain what a lightbulb is.

Maybe the post can survive if we make the necessary amendments.

It's archaric, in 10 years they'll all be LEDs , more light for less
power, you'll only use light bulbs in yer easy bake oven.

This thread is even better than the one described

BTW Marla a little trick for cases like this: if you type "define:lightbulb" in google, it will provide you with a definition. It only works for English words, but it's still pretty useful
It works best for Computer- or Internet-related words, but for common words you should get a definition anyway though.

Is that a screw light bulb or a bayonet light bulb?

 

[The Last Conformist]

When your a lightbulb, being bayonetted is being screwed.

Why each time we say something in a foreign language, people think it's necessarily insults ! I didn't say you were una mierda. I've said : "Oh mierda ! You break my balls ! If I'm not even able anymore to ask the definition of one tiny word without being treated as a blonde, pfff !"

Por supuesto, ¡no es una mierda! Me disculpo para la confusión.

No problem Marla, its all in good fun. I thought you called me a little sh!t I emailed a French friend asking for a translation but she hasnt gotten back to me yet. Oh and I dont really think Moliere is an idiota BTW, your Spanish is excellent

It's just that I get passionate when talking about spam.

 

[Bozo Erectus]

Me too. Especially the spam with the little cheese bits in it. Its so wrong, its right.

 

[the mormegil]

I've never had it with the cheese bits in. Must try it sometime.

I thought that posting any link to nude pic is against the forum rule. What's up with the pic on the top left of the page?

I just hope CBS isn't the parent company of this site's host.

Well, at least this one is rather pretty. While Janet's gave me nightmares after The Economist shamelessly printed the photo just to prove how liberal they really are on social issues and just how little taste they sometime have
