It's funny, 'cause I remember this one time when I changed a light bulb and...

;)

And 1 member to tell you that this has already been posted!

Actually first posted here over three years ago. (and turned out to be even more amusing so I recommend you read the first thread this was posted in (http://www.digitalhome.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=10538))

I'm surprised eljay didn't remember!

that is a great thread, just read it for the first time!

This is soooooo funny.....:p

I'm surprised eljay didn't remember!D'oh!! I'll...*sniff*...I'll blame it on the powdered booze... :D

You can change a light bulb ?!?!?!
I always thought, "Once a light bulb, always light bulb..."

And one to complain to the moderators that threads about changing light bulbs discriminates against those members who prefer to be in the dark about such things. (pun intended)

1 member to suggest that you buy only the best and spend $100 for a Monster light bulb.

5 members to contradict him, and say that all light bulbs are similar quality.

10 members who have suggestions for where to buy lower-priced light bulbs.

1 moderator to split off the "where to buy" discussion into a separate thread.

1 blonde to ask where she can find diapers to fit a light bulb.

I've been lurking for a while here and just noticed this post...do you think my projector light bulb (lightbulb) needs to be changed?

P.S. I've been waiting for a month to write that - couldn't hold out for the 6 month mark...:)

Scott.
