Well, what one are you?
Schmoofy 12-21-2005, 10:40 PM Lol,great. We had that same thing,except Lostaways,on the ABC LOST Boards and boy,did we add a lot more to it XD. We should add more to it,like how we analyze things here on the forums more than anything in Rl.
Barbie 12-21-2005, 10:41 PM I Would Be This One:
4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"
AceLollipop 12-21-2005, 10:43 PM Lol,great. We had that same thing,except Lostaways,on the ABC LOST Boards and boy,did we add a lot more to it XD. We should add more to it,like how we analyze things here on the forums more than anything in Rl.
Here are some more my friend added..
Don't forget about 25 people who will go onto Wikipedia and find light bulb (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incandescent_light_bulb):D
and then 1 or 2 people who say that Wikipedia isn't a legitimate source :x
and then 4 members who make a post consisting entirely of :pinch8: and think they're so clever.
there's at least one member who makes a double post.
I Would Be This One:
I would say something along the lines of report the bad post, don't bump it more!
:P
Some clever guest found this same topic at my homepage. ;)
MusicMusicalGurl 12-21-2005, 10:44 PM LOL so true so true!!!! Funny funny funny....LOL xP and xD

Minay 12-21-2005, 11:22 PM Haha! Hilarious. I'd probably be the one to post it ;)
prisoner 12-21-2005, 11:45 PM I think here on VMKF it would be more like this:
3 people to start new threads with the subject "New Lightbulb!" (these would be merged into 1 thread)
2 people to start threads with the subject "OMG!!!"
6 people to ask for pictures of the lightbulb.
4 people to report that Yavn said that lightbulb won't be changed until the new year.
7 to tell these 4 that they heard Yavn say that lightbulb would be changed "this moon".
3 to remind these 11 that it is available now.
6 to ask where and for how much.
14 to ask moderators to close the thread.
5 to start new threads with the subject "LITBULBZ!" (which moderators close)
2 to protest that the moderators are closing threads.
5 to offer to trade the changed lightbulb for green flips.
10 to tell these 5 that it would be be an unfair trade, and to offer to trade the changed lightbulb for inferno instead.
40 to report how they were "taken" by lightbulbs, and how this should stop.
90 to say that lightbulb changing isn't appropriate for children, and how the other 89 should stop changing the lightbulb.
5 suggesting that lightbulb changers should get their own uniform.
8 asking who else has applied to be a lightbulb changer.
13 asking how to apply to be a lightbulb changer.
21 begging "PLEZ GIV ME LITBULB CHANG CODZZZZZ!!!! NOW!!!!"
42 pointing out that there are no codes
10 begging "YES THERE R! GIV ME CODEZ NOW!"
6 lamenting that they never had changing bulbs in beta and it was much better then.
2 pointing out that yes we did.
1 saying that the changing bulb was a bug in beta, and its returned.
5 saying that it isn't a bug, but that VMK_bulb told them that this was new.
3 telling the story about how Walt used to change every lightbulb in Disneyland himself every night, and this is why we're changing lightbulbs in VMK now.
4 asking where in Walt Disney World one can change a lightbulb.
2 saying you can only change lightbulbs in Disneyland Paris.
1 commenting that they changed a lightbulb the last time they went to Six Flags.
3 saying they did too, but it wasn't as good as a Disney lightbulb.
2 saying they're nuts, that Six Flags lightbulbs were much better than Disney lightbulbs.
3 people starting a poll about lightbulbs (but only 2 of them actually had a poll).
1 person posting 10 times (2 of them with apologies) about changing lightbulbs.
97 people replying to these 10 posts about how many times they posted.
1 person posting 20 times (several of them double-posts) apologizing again and asking mods to change their lightbulb for them.
4 asking what lightbulb?
Horizons 12-21-2005, 11:46 PM rofl....I was thinking more along the lines of none....they don't have one!
MissAmber 12-21-2005, 11:51 PM And don't forget,
32 memebers who make avatars and/or signatures to show the true meaning of a light bulb.
Dizznygrl 12-21-2005, 11:51 PM I would add:
97 to complain that all the CLs got lightbulbs before they did, and....
ONE to say, "Look at all the bugs flying around those lightbulbs!"
LordIllidan 12-22-2005, 12:10 AM 6 lamenting that they never had changing bulbs in beta and it was much better then.
2 pointing out that yes we did.
You did? People that were around in beta are so lucky XD
you forgot to add:
9,487 forum members (minus the inactive members, plus any new forum members who join in the following month) who end up forgetting about it in a month or so,
13 people making an off topic post that reads "hi", nothing more, nothing less,
and 12 people ranting about how somebody called them a "shore" because person 1 would not give person 2 a free lightbulb
Tandrew 12-22-2005, 12:17 AM Rotfl this thread is sooo funny! i can't stop laughing!!
AceLollipop 12-22-2005, 12:27 AM LOL! Priz, that was SO FUNNY! CL_Dizznygrl, yours was great too!
Poseidon 12-22-2005, 12:54 AM Heh, all of them are quite funny. I thought of the following:
20 members to tell mods to close all the lightbulb threads.
Minay 12-22-2005, 12:58 AM Heh, all of them are quite funny. I thought of the following:
20 members to tell mods to close all the lightbulb threads.
LOL Yes.
Ah, here's one:
4 of those 20 members that told mods to close all the lightbulb threads bumped the 6 month old post, and then chanted to close the thread :)
-You know where I am getting this from Fish ;)
Sdude 12-22-2005, 12:58 AM Omg!!!! i have been laughing at this thread since 7:00 Est LOL

PrincessWall 12-24-2005, 03:03 PM 143 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting
