I have a great joke about this, but it would make no sense to type it, given that it involves Tourette's.
capnhowdy • Mar 1, 2007 7:31 pm
1 to point out that the proper spelling for cellarites is not cellurites.

Of course, I will assume this responsibility. ;)
Kingswood • Mar 1, 2007 11:54 pm
11 posts that mention light globes rather than light bulbs.
2 people asking what light globes are.
xoxoxoBruce • Mar 2, 2007 12:37 am
Shit, I've got a Word Document with 73 pages, single spaced, of these things....don't get me started.:lol:
NoBoxes • Mar 2, 2007 4:11 am
Cellarites wouldn't try to change the light bulbs: they seek to change the dim bulbs. ;)
Kagen4o4 • Mar 2, 2007 4:28 am
6 (yeah you guys) (well seven including me) to try and add more numbers to the light-bulb/globe changing situation.

1 messed up bong smoking hippie to point out that its wrong to try and change a light bulb and it has the right to go out whenever it wants, but still try and protect other bulbs from going out saying that humans are just using bulbs for their own reason and if we keep doing it the bulb will become extinct and we should use mother earth friendly light sources like love and freedom.
bluecuracao • Mar 2, 2007 6:11 am
This time of the morning--2 or 3 to peer in and notice the lightbulb needs changing, then leave expecting that the one it takes will change it at a more appropriate hour.
Elspode • Mar 4, 2007 12:34 pm
Regular Cellarites don't change the bulbs...they email Undertoad and point out to him that the bulb is out.
monster • Mar 4, 2007 2:34 pm
I wonder if light bulbs are tasty?
Kagen4o4 • Mar 4, 2007 3:20 pm
1 to eat the light bulb and get rushed to hospital, letting everyone else know not to eat the light bulb
Aliantha • Mar 4, 2007 6:04 pm
and don't forget the 3 people who will turn light bulbs into sexual toys and proceed to make jokes about it...like the guys who end up in the emergency room with shattered glass up their arse.
Kagen4o4 • Mar 4, 2007 9:44 pm
4 to be stubborn and say that candles are just fine and continue to use them after the bulb has been changed
Aliantha • Mar 4, 2007 9:46 pm
from the arsehole?
monster • Mar 4, 2007 10:40 pm
Only one to do this.....
Kagen4o4 • Mar 5, 2007 2:47 am
lit candles are quite painful going into the anus
NoBoxes • Mar 5, 2007 3:16 am
How many Cellarites would try changing the same lightbulb before asking if anyone remembered to pay the electric bill?! :smack:

capnhowdy • Mar 5, 2007 8:59 pm
several couples to use the hot wax in a sexual setting.

no. experience suggests that something has been learnt.

6 trips to the hospital later...they suggested i just keep a kiddie pool of ice water at home
Aliantha • Mar 5, 2007 9:44 pm
lmao
Aliantha • Mar 5, 2007 9:44 pm
But you have learned that it hurts obviously...just that you haven't learned not to do it again...cause it's still gonna hurt? *still laughing*

Question: How many members of the chief bullshitter's regime does it take to change a light bulb?

Answer: Ten.

1. One to deny that a light bulb needs to be changed;
2. One to attack the patriotism of anyone who says the light bulb needs to be changed;
3. One to blame Clinton for burning out the light bulb;
4. One to tell the nations of the world that they are either for changing the light bulb or for eternal darkness;
5. One to give a billion dollar no-bid contract to Halliburton for the new light bulb;
6. One to arrange a photograph of the bullshitter, dressed as a janitor, standing on a step ladder under the banner 'Bulb Accomplished';
7. One regime insider to resign and in detail reveal how the bullshitter was literally 'in the dark' the whole time;
8. One to viciously smear No. 7;
9. One surrogate to campaign on TV and at rallies on how the chief bullshitter has had a strong light-bulb-changing policy all along;
10. And finally, one to confuse Americans about the difference between screwing a light bulb and screwing the country.

And we're still sitting in the dark because no one has changed the lightbulb.

And we're still sitting in the dark because no one has changed the lightbulb.

You go to the Cellar with the lightbulb you have not the lightbulb you...

Wouldn't that be "cellulite" in this regard? Or am I mixing this up with the "Body image" thread?
capnhowdy • Mar 15, 2007 9:40 pm
Your call.

It is obvious I don't accept responsibility well.
Beestie • Mar 15, 2007 10:04 pm
What bulb. I like the dark.
monster • Mar 15, 2007 11:57 pm
I think I may be offended by your use of the term "dark".

I'm thinking I would like to be reading "luminescently-challenged" or perhaps "african light". Mmmmmkay?
Kagen4o4 • Mar 16, 2007 2:51 am
its a clinical condition thats called "photon deficiency". its also genetic.
monster • Mar 16, 2007 8:19 am
Oh Please! Obviously it is a product of the environment and not genetic. Nurture over Nature everytime. Otherwise lightbulbs would be prescription only and stores would be raided by gangs desperate for a fix, all the lighbulb store owners would be armed, and then the liberals and their tree-hugging gun control would take over Wikipedia and the world would end unless we repent to Jesus.

There needs to be a constitutional ammendment banning luminescently-challenged marriages.

How can there be a "rainbow" coalition in the dark? Wouldn't it be more like a "shades of gray" coalition?

Indeed. I used Clorox on my eyeballs.
