How many Double Exposure posters does it take to change a light bulb?

1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed
6 to share that they were the first to read and respond to the light bulb being changed
5 to convey disatisfaction for failing to be the first to read and respond to the light bulb being changed
14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently
7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs
7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs
5 to flame the spell checkers
3 to correct spelling/grammar flames
6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid
2 proclaimed industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"
15 who claim that they were previously in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct
19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum
11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum
36 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique and what brands are faulty
7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs
4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's
3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group
4 to discuss how House Fleming needs to be fixed
5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy

And 1 to suggest using LED lightbulbs which don't burn out

LED light bulbs.... bah!  Still wasting electricity, you should be using sky lights and bioluminescent algae.

Well i dont think house fleming should be fixed. What i dont get is if house citidel is mainly religious nuts atleast thats what i gathered from the description why do they have martial arts as some of there house tiers?

LED light bulbs.... bah!  Still wasting electricity, you should be using sky lights and bioluminescent algae.   

And so begins the debate on how to properly care for said algae, interspersed with flamewars regarding the ethical and moral ramifications of using a living thing in such a manner - asbestos underwear, napalm, thermite, liquid capsaicin, you get the idea - the odd comment on how much Delphi sucks (because they know how to take care of the algae but won't tell anyone), self-avowed botanists chiming in, a revitalized debate on re-re-re-nerfing Toons once it's pointed out that Toons could/couldn't Manifest the algae, editorials on whether the use of the words "it's" and "whether" are correct in this context, a flurry of Me Too!, one guy introducing himself for the first time, a flamewar about top-posting, someone re-pointing out that you just need to punch the Toon in the head, long-winded arguments on "nerfing" versus "balancing", an outright panic once someone posts a conceptual design for a Toon Fleming made of glowing algae... all the typical wailing and gnashing of teeth we've come to know and tolerate from ourselves.

(Tangent: I'm mildly annoyed that I had to add "flamewars", "thermite", and "capsaicin" to my spell-checker.)

And I *do* think that House Fleming should be fixed. In the veterinary sense.

Finally - Socket. I know a suitable answer to this question is "it's Socket", but why the hell is your sig two lines of word salad?

Huh. Lovecraftian word salad.

The salad eats you?

The salad eats you?

Only in Soviet R'lyeh.

So when the war rises from the unstable depths, will that affect the availability of light bulbs?  What brand would the Old Ones prefer?

[Frigemall]

The post was funny, but it would be nice just to have that many people respond to any post, no matter what it is, even if it is about Lightbulbs.

[Dragontologist]

The Old Ones totally prefer those curly CFL lightbulbs.  You know, the ones where, if you break one, and call up Poison Control to ask how to clean it up, they tell you it's a $2000+ cleanup job and then send over men in bio-suits.  True stories, btw:
