They forgot to mention

three to make lightbulb puns
three more to make even worse puns in response to the 1st three

at least one to make a completely surreal nonsequiter

somebody else to say "huh :confused: " in response to the nonsequiter

several thread hijacks which were even more interesting than the original topic

and the inevitable You Tube clip

“Light bulb? We don’t need no stinkin’ lightbulbs!!”

Gee, you mean we aren’t unique? Somehow I feel diminshed. But it won’t put my light under a bushel basket. Any day now, I shall be released.

i love all my forums equally, just differently.

You know what’s really funny? I can put a name to each and every one of those :smiling_imp:

Well, I thought it was funny anyway :wink:

Said the Queen of Thread Hijacks her own royal self :wink: :wink:

We have a few.

“I’m just a lurker, really.”

yeah…sure ya are…you’re just not very good at it! :laughing:

What can I say? My other seven selves are the ones who lurk.

Me Too!

although you’ll have to wait a few minutes for the reference

:smiley:

Worst poll ever, talk about missing options.

GASP!! :astonished: Moi?? Surely you jest. I would never hijack a thread…



at least not while anyone is looking :wink:

I thought I was Queen of the Thread Hijacks.

Oh, well.

I guess I’m just a princess.

Princess Thread Hijacker does have a nice ring to it. Or Princess Hijacker of the Threads. That’s kind of nice sounding too :wink:

Oh, sorry, Cran! How about this one for you…

…and one person to say “Lightbulbs are hot” > :wink:

…at least one person to inadvertently destroy the lightbulb with a poorly aimed supersonic potato…
