How many message board members to change a light bulb |
|
How many message board members does it take to change a lightbulb? Answer: 422 1 to change the lightbulb and post it to the board that the bulb has been changed. 14 to respond and share similar experiences. 7 to caution about the dangers of changing lightbulbs. 27 to point out spelling errors & grammatical errors in postings about changing lightbulbs. 53 to flame the spell-checkers. 156 to write the administrator complaining about the lightbulb discussion & its inappropriateness to the board. 111 to defend the relevance of the lightbulb discussion. 27 to post website addresses where one can see different examples of lightbulbs. 14 to complain that the website addresses are incorrect and post correct ones. 12 to "leave the board forever" because they can't handle the lightbulb controversy

Oh freddled gruntbuggly thy micturations are to me As plurdled gabbleblochits on a lurgid bee. Groop I implore thee my foonting turlindromes. And hooptiously drangle me with crinkly bindlewurdles, or I will rend thee in the gobberwarts with my blurglecruncheon, see if I don't!

14. The list is missing another |
|
You can tell this list wasn't DU specific since there isn't a freeper to blame Clinton for the light bulb's burning out on the list.

One to change the bulb, and three hundred to start a flame war about the candidates they don't support.
