Funny. Anyone watch Family Guy? "How many apes does it take to change a light bulb? 3, one to change it and two to throw feces at each other!"

It's funnier if you watch the episode...he's suspended in a net with a bunch of apes with guns surrounding him. I LOVE that show.

2 to argue whether changing light bulbs for money constitutes grounds for losing your amateur status.

Good one Sling. How do you think I've gotten my post count up there? I do all those things on a regular basis. Except for the feces throwing. I draw the line at feces throwing...

I think if you had enough to drink and watched some really bad karaoke you might change your stance on that one.

Or possibly substitute some of sssmokin's pics for the bad karaoke.

Let's see...
One to argue whether or not the light bulb base should be cast or forged. Invariably, the louder argument will come from the one who claims he can much better feel the bulb threads fitting into the socket with a forged base.

One to argue whether or not he should, or should not, go purchase bulb covers. After all, bulbs are prone to damage when uncovered. Others will argue that the cracks and shatters in the bulb surface are 'marks of experience' and that no bulb installer should ever use bulb covers.

One to argue that a specific manufacturer of bulbs is far better than another, simply because "professional bulb installers" use that brand.

One to argue that they can get more light out of a 20 watt bulb than others can get out of a 150 watt bulb... because of a prototype lamp base marketed only on the "Bulb-installers United Tour Tournaments" (BUTT for short!).

And, one... just to argue...

Let's see... is that five or so????

I dunno...you've thrown a pretty big pile of BS around.

Only because he's never thrown any.

And don't we have any members who are going to change the weights on the light bulb, or replace the socket thing, or maybe the angle at which the bulb goes into the socket? Heaven forbid anyone should use off-the-shelf lightbulbs!
