heres a little something I dug up from the toxic waste dump at another forum I go to; I really enjoyed it. So without further ado:

THE LIGHTBULB

[i]How many MKRealmers does it take
to change a light bulb?:[\i]

1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed.

14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light
bulb could have been changed differently.

6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb."

6 to condemn those 6 as anal-retentive.

2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp."

15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb"
is perfectly correct.

109 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this
discussion to a lightbulb forum.

111 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs
and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum.

306 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.

resembles a light bulb.

14 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the
corrected URL's.

1 poster that has converted all his light bulbs to florescents, so he very

1 to mention the "lite" bulb is made of low-fat cheese.

4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"

143 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about
light bulbs."

1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start
it all over again.

:D

Did anyone spew soda from their nose after reading this?

Please share any forum or MK humor here :D

LOL :D

You forget the inane comments that bear no relevence whatsoever to the light bulbs thread :D

1 out of sync realmer to post that Real Mean aren't afraid of the dark and so never have to change their light bulbs.

LOL!!!!

The scary thing is that DC is likely right about this.

So, it takes 1024 realmers to change a lightbulb. And I though geeks had brains. :D ;) :p

Did you know it's insane? :D
Only 26 more corrections to go. And then the 53 flames, etc. :D

Buntcha wackaloons. You should all be banned.

My grandmother posts more intelligent comments,
and she has been dead for 20 years.

And another 50 that complains that the light bulb company doesn't listen to them about light bulb lifespans. :/

Well with 1024, I would expect that to be more of a HCrealms discussion than an MK one. And then it would be more, because they would argue about what issue Wolverine changed the light bulb in, how he did it, what series of X-men it was in, and whether or not there was a hidden Spidey in the background.

personally, I only use candles, they're much better

I hear you, galactus' box got like 2000 posts in a week...nothing in mkrealms gets that much...

but hc needs 2.0 to drive out the lightbulbs.

You should probably add in another 100 MKRealmers to complain about "The lighbulb being broken". :p

you forgot to say that at least half of the 1024 will complain about the lightbulb manufacturer, the lightbulb manufacturer's tech support, or that new lightbulbs are so superior to the old ones that the old lightbulbs no longer have any value in the resale market, which also must be the manufacturer's fault.


hmmm tech support on changing a light bulb....

first, turn off the light (unless you are male)...

waht about people posting links of lightbulbs on ebay...

Please everyone be carful when changing light bulbs, i had a friend who once had a very disturbing accident while changing a light bulb.

sincerely,

thorin :(
