I thought you were inviting us over to change a bulb for you. [:)]

Light bulb is two words not one. [s]lightbulb[/s][flame]

How many leprechauns does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Two, but the trick is getting them in the lightbulb first.

Hannah,
surely there should be at least some discussion and general disagreement over what constitutes a light bulb, should a light bulb be changed (is this just another form of cloning ?) and the religious implications.

[smoke]

Thats pretty funny Hannah.

That's it, I'm out of here for good.

I can deal with racial discussions, religious discussions, but you people have finally done it.

What went so wrong around here? At what fork in the road did AR15.com head straight to hell? This lightbulb stuff is WAY out of line.

I'm leaving this site and NEVER coming back. It's gonna just be me and StyerAug from now on. We don't need the internet anyway. We can just call eachother on the phone when we have absolutely nothing worthwhile to say. Got it? I'm gone.

UGOTIT, Hannah.[smoke]

What makes this so funny is that its right on the money.  Good show![:)]

So then I shall consider you pre-ban(ed)?

Was due and careful consideration given as to sourcing, brand and wattage of this light bulb 'before' installation ?

what about the 30 members who will lecture you on their interpretation of the laws relating to changing light bulbs, and report the sale of high cap light bulbs to administration on EBAY.

Where are the 85 people to BTT the thread endlessly?

or the 7 dedicated posters to complain about the character limit, which make posting heir rebuttals difficult?

Or the guy from a foreign Nordic European country to brag about how they can own any bulb they want, for about LEO MSRP price, even thogh we poor saps in the US are stuck with semi-dimmer lightbulbs with a minimum bulb length?

Juggernaut

Good plan...[:D]

LOL!

This is why I love this place.

ITS LIKE HAVING 400 FAMILY MEMBERS OVER FOR DINNER WITHOUT THE FOOD AND THE CLEANUP OF THE PARTY THAT RESULTS.

What`s an assault lightbulb?.........[stick]

Actually you should be using replacement ultra long life florescent bulbs so you never have to change a lightbulb again.

I demand the moderators lock this topic and GB to ban Hannah for posting such jibberish in our GUN board.


[i]edited to add[/i]

What about 25 post asking for a naked pic of said light bulb.

That's it. I'm going to have to lock this thread!

Nonsense gibberish about screwing[sex]...don't you know that such posts are offensive?

"How many Saudis does it take to change a lightbulb?"
"None. They hire a British engineering firm to to it. Lightbulbs can be dangerous"

"How many Russians does it take to change a lightbulb?"
"Why do you want to know about our maintenance schedules? Are you planning to attack us in the dark?"

"How many musicians does it take to change a lightbulb?"
"None. It sounds perfectly OK to them."

"How many magicians does it take to change a lightbulb?"
"Depends what you want them to change it into."

"How many Special Forces members does it take to change a lightbulb?"
"None. You can scream and leap in the dark."

"How many forum members does it take to change a light bulb?"

The answer is None:

AR15.com forum members are not afraid of the dark.

Later on tonight, when I'm working on my second six pack, I just know this thread is going to crack me up.
If it doesn't, I'll just have to keep chugging until I pass out.

By the way, I don't normally drink, but..........
[size=6]BEAR'S WIN!!!![/size=6]

[size=6]BUMP[/size=6]

Is it over? Did they win already? S**t! I must've passed out.

Go Bears!

NO, THE BEARS DID NOT WIN
The game doesn't start until 3:30pm Central. The National Anthem is being sung as I write this post.

I Hope the Bears lose anyways.


Hannah..you been spending way too much time at Full-Auto.com to come up with nasty AR15.com jokes like that.  [;D]

My all time favorite (from "My Blue Heaven"):

What is the difference between a pregnant woman and a light bulb?
You can unscrew a light bulb.

[:D]

Actually, I found it on a Rottweiler Forum. [:D]

How many psychiatrists to change a light bulb? Only one, but it takes a long time, and the light bulb has to want to change.

Oh wait, I have a longer version of that too:

43 to ask "what's Usenet?"

************
And don't forget about the 38 people to say "don't buy light bulbs at store X because they thought about donating money to the Brady Bunch 20 years ago"

How about we start a thread called:

BOTD- bulb of the day, we could post pics. And jump on the ones with the red 'X'  [thinking]

This delicate little number was made in the early 1900s by a European bulbsmith named Billy.
As you can see, the filament is constructed of pure Arabian horse hair.........

How many British does it take to screw in a light bulb?
None, the British don't screw in light bulbs.  They have bayonet sockets.


 Vulcan94

Nothing over 40 watts.....after all...we ARE energy conservant.........[stick]......(looks like eagles win.....[kill] )

How about a few guys just wanting to get their post count up by responding with a ...like me....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Thats the plan... [:D]

Are they "Pre-ban" or "Post-ban" light bulbs? If they are post-ban, aren't they limited to a maximum wattage? Can anyone help us out on this one???

This is for all you light bulb enthusiast loosers[:)].  

Fluorescent is the correct spelling. NOT florescent[stick].  You do have to change lamps in fluorescent fixtures eventually, ballasts too.

The socket you put a lamp (aka- light bulb) in is called a screw shell[sex].

P.S. The good thing of fluorescent fixtures is not only the lower wattage.  You screw the power company out of more money, through inductive reactance of the transformer in the ballast. [}:D]

For those of you familiar with complex power......
The power company charges on power (Watts)/time (P/t) or "true power", that is simply:
P = (I^2)R, VI, or (V^2)/R
where: [i]* ^2 = squared[/i]

Since in the US, power is supplied via a 60Hz sinusoid and the ballast load is inductive, it has a reactive impedance "Z" which is dependant on the frequency (60Hz). Now enters the complex J component in the load which the power company ignores in the power math. This is the apparent power; "S" The units are; VA or Volts-Amperes.
Just substitue the the impedance "Z" for the real resistance "R" in the above power equations.

There is also VAR reactive power.........

[:D]

I was referring to the florescent use of fluorescent bulbs. [:)]

BTW, What is a "loosers?" [:D]

Loosers are the natural enemy of "tighters."

Doesn’t this belong in the Troubleshooting Forum?

Everybody knows chrome-lined lightbulbs are better.

Is is [i]really[/i] a mil-spec lightbulb?

Does it have a .223 or 5.56 socket?  Screwing one onto the other could make the bulb blow up.  

How do I make it turn on full-auto?  Just for educational purposes, of course.

Hannibal, the crazy fool Murdock is talkin nonesense again.  I don't wanna hear no jibba jabba!

we need to ban lightbulbs for the children!
