[Jonnyf]

what about the posters asking for a "comparative review" or asking why one should change a lightbulb/lamp

 

[Sagittar]

Granitechief , YoO gOt sUmeE TalANt mAAn

nice one man

 

[lorenza]

hadnt we already had something like this before? not sure though, i may just be crazy

 

[GRANITECHIEF]

I wish i could take credit, but i poached it off the Mammoth Mtn forum, where people are very excited that there is finally some storm activity on the way.

 

[Nick Irons]

That Joke has been circulating for about 10 years online but is still funny

5 to flame the spell checkers

mens tennis forums anybody ?

 

[GRANITECHIEF]

OOps, i guess everybody has already seen it and no one will enjoy it.

You must be one of these:

4 to say “didn’t we go through this already a short time ago?”

[drakulie]

Too funny!

You forgot about youtube:

3 posters who post vids from youtube of someone actually changing the light bulb.

Thereafter at least 10 posters who provide a NTRP rating, and begin debating the true NTRP rating of the light bulb changer. LMAO!

 

[alwaysatnet]

It takes three TW posters to change a light bulb. One to change the bulb and two to argue over whether Agassi or Federer could've done a better job.

 

[Dedans Penthouse]

7 TW male s1uts (you know who you are) who'll claim they never frequent red light districts, and that the 'red' lightbulbs are all just "paintjobs" anyway.

 

[alwaysatnet]

You know, a male **** is a mutt don't you?

 

[Voltron]

5 to call paintjob

12 to give you an NTRP rating despite that you are changing a "lamp"

2 who are just trolls, and admit it

 

[malakas]

mens tennis forums anybody ?

:lol:
Hi

 

[renhoek]

15 to discuss how much lead tape is needed to change the light bulb from head heavy to head light

 

[Freedom]

4 to argue over the proper grip to use when changing overhead light bulbs as compared to waist-high light bulbs...

 

[Craig Sheppard]

20 posters claiming that it's not really light, it's just paint.

1 poster claiming GE stole their light bulb design and won't let the public have the best light bulb they could make.

...and finally 1 poster who thinks any light bulb could make more light than it currently does if it was just weighted properly

 

[drakulie]

15 to discuss how much lead tape is needed to change the light bulb from head heavy to head light

Good one. LMAO!

 

[Fee]

1 to post a video of his light bulb changing technique and claim that he will be a pro light bulb changer in less than one year.

(By the way, I really do think we've done this before. Let me Hancu it...)

 

[angharad]

It takes three TW posters to change a light bulb. One to change the bulb and two to argue over whether Agassi or Federer could've done a better job.

- I was thinking something similar when reading this: It takes all the TW posters...one to actually change it, then the rest of the board to debate whether Sampras or Federer was the GOAT bulb-changer, based on the relative merit of each bulb changed, the equipment used to change the bulb, and the competition from other bulb changers.

 

[Andres]

30 to say that the original guy who changed the bulb is the GOAT.
Another 30 to say that in order to be LighbulbchangingGOAT, he needs to change the lighbulb 4 times in a year, but TWICE.

 

[ATXtennisaddict]

LOL I liked that joke

 

[bismark]

5 say using a small light bulb is not practical, and it's all about ego.

5 claim using a small light bulb forces them to improve their light bulb changing technique.

 

[anirut]

12 to adjust the bulb to SW2.

20 to say the SW2 bulb is too heavy to give good light.

2 to argue over whether to use mid size or mid plus bulb.

7 to ask if the filament is made from Aerogel.

200 to say filament from 100% graphite's better.

15 to say the light from the bulb was too harsh and gave them tennis-eye.

...

Man, I could go on ...

Thanks for this remake of a funny thread.

Bravo, Fee. Bravo! Very well done.

 

[Phil]

Bravo, Fee. Bravo! Very well done.

Yeah, LOL...so what Fee is saying, essentially, is...we've got some characters running around this little cyber village...

 

[Gazz]

can't believe no-one mentioned Marius Hancu suggesting some websites to help prevent lightbulb related injuries - seriously thought, Marius' stuff is appreciated

[kevhen]

Good stuff! Is this a flourescent or regular bulb? Those flourescent last longer so we won't have to change them so often and have so many posts about it.

 

[Fee]

Bravo, Fee. Bravo! Very well done.

Tenku.

Yeah, LOL...so what Fee is saying, essentially, is...we've got some characters running around this little cyber village...

Takes one to know one, my dear
