7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs
5 to flame the spell checkers

You can't just go around changing the light bulb, the light bulb has got to want to change.
Has anybody discussed this with the bulb?

Well done Bronze.... You hit the nail on the head.

Speaking of light bulbs.
If you want to put your beetle in stock class in a show, does it matter if it has halogen or sealed beam headlights?
You could argue it is a safety item.

$2 joins the avant-garde corner of the forum....
hmmm yes indeed, indeed, but perhaps with a simple abstraction of the concept one can completelty alter the original intention of this thread. Perhaps a more philosphical aproach to an extreemly complex issue with cosmic proportions. Mutli layered and multidimensional this next image is filled with tinfoil hat wearing potential!..............

The_Bronze. ·
Glad you liked it. I though it was clever.
Star buggy - I my have been posted previously when I was AWOL. A mate of mine posted it the Geocaching Australia forum and since this forum is so much like that thread I though it would be a good giggle.
Um - It's a bayonett
It funny - Those in the geocaching forum started pointing what roles they would play in the thread based on what they are like.

pete wood ·
Bronze here are another 2;
6 to argue over the merits of 115v versus 240v.
1 purist to state that uprating the wattage of the lightbulb effectly renders the installation as "no longer standard" or "modified".
