Sound familar?

Roland,
I keep the bulb and a half in the pantry, but I guess the GE bulb just shot the heck out of that idea!
But the GE installation instructions make a lot of sense...

Actually, the three-way bulb can be used in place of the bulb and a half when you have two sockets.

I would think that the best way to deal with trolls is to burn their bridges. Not to be confused with trolling for bass.

Off Topic: Ed, have an update on the blade train and when it may be coming into Kansas?

Thanks,
Roland

But only if the dim wits in Washington, who are involved in a nation wide conspiracy to keep the rest of us in the dark about the micro economics of the filament makers, and their limited contribution to the bottom line of the monopolistic socket makers, are exposed to the light of day....

Hey, wait a minute, sunlight as an option?

So, what you are saying is, if we expose the trolls to the sunlight, they will go away?

That’s way too simple, and if we employee the sunlight principle, we exclude the Montana globe blowers from their fair share of the bulb market.

Besides, we couldn’t get 306 replies on this thread if we actually posted anything that makes sense, nor could we enjoy the possibility of talking non stop to each other, and engage in self serving and personally gratifying verbiage about how we discovered the correct way of packing 10 lbs of crap into a 5 lbs bag, which no one else in the world even considers a possible or worthwhile endeavor.

(Poll) how long have you been a lightbulb fan?

You know, it's Bush's and Minetta's fault that the funding for light bulbs has been cut.

Have you ever been hassled by the police by being too close to the lightbulb? I think all my rights to lightbulb has been taken away. I hate this country. I'll never lightbulb fan again!

Just don't feed them after midnight[:0]!

You might want to think about switching over to Christmas light fanning...there are lots of them, but it’s a seasonal thing....

I don't know how recently you ventured to the South, but we don't drink "soda". Usually it's tea, Coke, coffee or some other beverage with a name. But if you derive refreshment from words that describe sounds then obviously we haven't progressed as far intellectually as the North. [:p]

Oh, and the reason they call it an "Icebox" is because you put ice blocks in it to maintain the temperature. A refrigerator on the other hand has a compressor that, when operating thanks to electricity, maintains the temperature automatically so we don't spend all day loading ice blocks. Thus we have more time for other pursuits such as photographing trains and replacing light bulbs. [:D]

Why is it taking so long to get my copy of the September Lightbulbs?

[locomutt]

Jay,
You haven't gotten your copy yet? Mine came in yesterday,
along with "Popular Lightbulbs".

Now that's what I'm talking bout yo!

[edblysard]

Did you guys get your copy of the Bulb Illustrated Swim Suit Edition?
Man, talk about some curves!!!


My wife still thinks I read it for the articles!
Ed

[ChuckCobleigh]

Yeah, but are there any good light bulb webcams?

[Murphy Siding]

Which do you like better: GE or Sylvania? And what is your favorite "fallen bulb?!!!!!!!!

[Mookie]

I prefer the "lite" kind.....

Does "Philco" come under the "Fallen Bulb" category yet,
or is it still hanging on by a filament ??

[Murphy Siding]

Isn't it time we try to revive the coal tar lamps? Everyone knows they're more efficient than the new-fangled electric ones. Ask any old-timer.

Candles?[:D]

[Anonymous]

Since we are now into a serious discussion that needs well thought out answers, I would ask this; Is it toMAHto or toMAAto.
This needs deep discussion.

[Anonymous]

I am confused by all this, would someone care to shed some light on the situation?

[Sterling1]

[(-D]

maybe not candles but a fire perhaps . . .

[DrummingTrainfan]

I have to say my favorite fallen bulb is nice and simple...FIRE!. (to denounce any confusion I'm not saying I like trolls who flame...I like the real fire that BURNS!)

[dbasenberg]

Forums are just for fun, nothing else. We don't solve any problems, we have a good time.
