I stole this from the Epiphone Forum

Okay ... let's make sure that everyone gets proper recognition for this one:

I stole it from Greg over at the Gonzo Guitar Forum, who stole it from the My Les Paul Forum. I'm posting it here because I laughed until I had tears in my eyes (thanks Gregzy!) ...

How many forummembers does it take to change a lightbulb? (thanks Jumboshrimp @ AGF)

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

7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs

1 to move it to the Lighting section

2 to argue then move it to the Electrical section

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 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

3 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

20 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

5 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

13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"

5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy

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

3 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

So funny ... and so TRUE!

Yeah but the spelling and grammar is important. If you can't effectively communicate, you can't efecivlee bee undastud. Then theirs al tha problums from ppl whu speek anuvva langwidge. How do thay deel with sm1 whu cnt writ they're muther tung to any co-here-ant deegreee.



Some points are valid, others less so.

First of all, why are you posting a light bulb thing, this is a Fender Forum; only posts about Fender bar Lights and neon thing-a-mi-jigs (go ahead, flame me because I don't know how to spell that!). Second of all, where did you get all that information. Brad told me that the Fender light bulb changing products are not out yet, and are still proprietary...you are breaking the Forum rules and must be punished severely.
Finally, that is really, really funny; I;m going to send it to my son, against all rules and my better judgment.

Candlelight get's you better tone too. The bodywood photosynthesises a less harsh kind of oxygen under candlelight. So it finds it easier to breathe.

Great post LostAgain.
