  lmfao

[DuskTrooper 316]

Not a very bright bulb, I see.

[MrCinatit 30]

shouldn't there also be 50 replies claiming the thread is nothing more than spam, and 50 more claiming the spam claims are spam?

[DuskTrooper 316]

I prefer metal halide fixtures, and florescent fixtures, thank you very much.

[Dirktator 2,328]

1 ass admin to close the thread, saying it's been discussed before

[The_Dalai_Llama 15]

If my calculations are correct, that makes 185 responses total, plus another 185 every 6 months the thread is brought back from the dead.

 

And Duke and DuskTrooper would make up 40% of those posts.

 

Edit:  Slight math error.

So i feel i must say, as one who works in the Elecrical Installation Industry, that it's actually called either a 'Lamp', or a 'Luminaire'.

I just had to go for it, and make Golfbunny right!
I know, i know, here comes the stick!
So who's gonna be first?

P.S. That's simply a brilliant post, you started of with GB.

Great Job!

[calm_blue_sea 3]

Only one, but the light bulb has to want to change...oh wait that's how many shrinks does it take to change a light bulb.

[Boris225 1]

Whoa....sorry all, those last 2 anonymous user posts were just me...good old Boris225....

 

It seems this came as a result of me editing my E-Mail address a few minutes ago.....although I don't know why I am doing this at this time at night......it is 3:25 AM where I am right now...

 

EDIT: Do I by any chance get a refund for those 2 lost posts?
