1. None, changing light bulbs would mean supporting GE who
donate money to the GOP, so we all live in the glow of our computer screens and yawn in our coffeeless existences.

2. One to change it while 12 Dean supporters piss and moan and whine
Edited on Sun Apr-04-04 11:15 PM by Rabrrrrrr
about how that lightbulb is never gonna get changed and how they can't do it because they've lost all hope for the presence of light in that room anymore, now that Dean is gone, and then once the light HAS been changed by the non-whiny DUer the Dean supporters piss and moan about the suspicious provenance of the lightbulb used to replace the old one.

6. LMAO!
Zing! I can hear the indignant "Hurumphs!" of the whiny Dean supporters now.

It's funny because it's true.

7. and a full compliment of astrologers
giving conflicting reads on Dean, saying that he's going to make a big announcement about light bulbs or some light-related matter, including but not limited to energy, switches, neon, argon, sodium, lasers, photons, stars, sunlight, moonlight, daylight, twilight, electricity, washing machines, oven lights, fridge lights, landing lights, headlights, flashlights, candlelight, candlelit dinners, meat, tables, napkins, steak, animals, forks, knives, glasses, clear things, see-through table implements, translucency, wax paper, cutting boards, or onions sometime in the next 14 months.

8. LOL! A brilliant addition!
And there's also a strong likelihood, because Mars in the house of Aries and traqvelling through Vaporous Jupiter's Magnetix Flux or some such bullshit like that, that Dean might instead make a big announcement about darkness.

12. 16 months it is
Edited on Sun Apr-04-04 11:40 PM by Rabrrrrrr
And a possibility it won't be Dean at all who makes the announcement, but might be instead a bear attacking a family in Montana delaying the opening of Yellowstone, because Astrology isn't about predicting, it's about possibility, and you have to open your mind to alternatives you unbeliever.

10. Three DU'ers change it at the same time.
And two of the lightbulbs are locked because they are dupes.

14. And then one more DUer, 2 weeks later, to change it again
not realizing that it had already been changed, and 30 DUers will harp on that DUer for repeating something already done. Then, a week after that, it will be changed again. Then a week after that, it will get changed 6 times in one day and everyone on DU will give up telling people it's already been changed and just resignedly let the lightbulb changing happen.

19. And then some freeper will call it a "lihgtblub" and DU'ers
will make fun of it. And every newbie will start a thread explaining the proper spelling of "lightbulb."

20. LOL! Yes,
it will enter the lexicon of questions constantly asked, like "What is *" and "Why does everyone spell it moran".

"Why does everyone spell it lihgtblub?"

16. 5
One to change the lightbulb, two to complain that the reflection of light off their bodies is a forced violation of their free speech rights, and two to say how glad they are the lightbulb was changed so the aforementioned DUers could finally get theirs.
