light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been
changed differently.

Seven to caution about the dangers of changing light
bulbs.

Seven more to point out spelling/grammar errors in
posts about changing light bulbs.

Five to flame the spell checkers.

Three to correct spelling/grammar flames.

Six to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light
bulb" ... another six to condemn those six as stupid.

and give the correct spelling.

Nineteen to post that this group is not about light
bulbs and to please take this discussion to a
lightbulb (or light bulb) forum.

Eleven to defend the posting to the group saying that
we all use light bulbs and there fore the posts are
relevant to this group.

Thirty six to debate which method of changing light
bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs,

and what brands are faulty

Seven to post URLs where one can see examples of
different light bulbs.

Four to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly and
then post the corrected URL.

Three to post about links they found from the URLs
that are relevant to this group which makes light
bulbs relevant to this group.

their entirety including all headers and signatures,
and add "Me too"

months from now and start it all over again.

[Elspeth]

I especially like that last one! How many times has that happened here? ;D

Thanks for sharing, good Kaylan. Where did you find this?

[Swallow]

That was brilliant! I just loved it! To make it more relevant to Ober, they really should say "three needed to start a conversation about throwing lightbulbs and another seven to follow suit. One to bring the conversation back to lightbulbs"

[Dameon]

PML, Kaylan!!!

And five to hijack the lightbulb (or light bulb) thread, with a discussion about Mexican hamsters.

And six to argue about whether Lightbulb is better than Dameon

[Min]

PMSL!!!! That was great!!!

[Arctic Firefox]

HAHAHA! And because we need a nitpicker on this thread, you misspelt "smarter" in your title.

[Rilla]

I think that was on purpose

That was great Kaylan! Hehehe!

[Deleted]

Bwahaha! This is where millions of years of evolution has led us. Truly, we are the superior species. ;D
This was great Kaylan, thanks for posting it.

;D Too right! lol, why do I get the feeling that I'm going to be remembered as the one with the vendetta against Rushton? And we forgot...

"Three Rushton fans to abuse Bec for pushing him into the pool in the first place and to comfort the poor, wet Rushton."

[Min]

*Min and Domick sit from the sidelines and laugh*

It's your calling card now, dear ;D

[Domick]

Rebecca: *Pouts* [/color]

Min and Domick*Raise eyebrows* [/color]
Rebecca: Fine, I do hate him a little bit...more than a little bit...okay okay, a lot. But not without reason!

[Cookie Lover]

Well, this is relevant, so those nineteen saying it's in the wrong place can go find something irrelavant.....like those monkeys! *points*

Yes, well for anyone who comes from the general Hobart area, this should make sense. For those who don't, you can probably think of similar schools.

So, just how many Hobart school students does it take to change a light bulb?

Fahan - One. She holds the bulb and the world revolves around her.

Hobart College - Two. One to change the bulb and one to figure out how to get high off the old one.

St. Virgils - Twenty. One to install the new bulb completely powered by testosterone, five to brag about it loudly and fourteen to write an anti-Hutchins songbook in celebration.

St. Marys - Four. One to smash the glass ceiling so that they can >> get to the top of the ladder, one to install the globe and two to check that it's brighter than St Virgils'.

Taroona High - Four. Two to work out how to change it, one to write to the Mecury and tell them how Mary's old school changed a light bulb and one to decorate the light bulb and send it to Denmark as a Christening present for Mary's new baby.

Mount Carmel - One. She'll put through a call to maintenance staff because there's no way she's going to do manual labour.

New Norfolk High - None. That hole looks better in the dark.

Claremont College - Five. One to change the globe and four to discuss its benefits to future vocational training.

New Town High - Six. One to change it but only after the other five have found an interpreter to translate the English instructions.

Uni of Tas - Seventy six. One to change the globe. Fifty to protest the globe's right not to change and twenty five to stage a counter >> protest.

The Conservatorium - Forty Three. One to change the globe and a 42 piece orchestra to accompany him.

Friends - Two. One to change the bulb and one to crack under the pressure.

Hutchins - None. Those poor bastards are keeping their backs to the wall even if it means standing in the dark. "If you can't get a girl get a Hutchins boy".

Rose Bay High - Five. One to change it and four to go to Chickenfeed for new chigger attire to wear for the occasion.

Collegiate - Five. One to change it, two to make sure her hair ribbons are still in place and another two to make sure her bag was carried in the correct manner at all times.

Rokeby High - Six. Four to break into the store, one to steal the globe and one to install it.

Sacred Heart - None. It is too unsafe for pregnant girls to attempt such a dangerous task.

Geilston Bay High - Five. One to install it, and four to tally the number of times he says F*** while he's doing it.

Dominic - Five. One to change the bulb and four to complain that a school of their stature was ever built in Glenorchy.



Bridgewater High - None. Everything not welded down had been flogged long ago.

Cosgrove High - Fourteen. One to change it, one to throw the old one at the New Town High boys and six Italians and six Asians to kick the crap out of each other in the meantime.

Ogilvie - Two. One to change the bulb and one to write to the Mercury about how they did it as well as any "proper" private school.

Rosetta High - None. They didn't want to spoil its 'quickie in thedark' atmosphere.

Rosny College - Six. One to change the bulb and five to support its froot loopsual orientation.

Elizabeth College - None. They're all down at Burger King having a ciggie.

Mary McKillop - Twenty. One to change it and the rest to carry on about how it was, like, soooo fully better than at their old schools.

Woodbridge District High - Unsure. Their response was something like 'Duuh, what's a light globe?'

Guildford Young - Three. One to put in a formal complaint about the imposition, one to change the bulb and one to make the observation that it isn't half as bright as the light shining from their arses.

Kingston High - None. Everyone is either suspended or wagging and smoking over at Channel Court and the teachers are too busy making rubrics for the new ELs curriculum.

Calvin Christian School - Two. One human and God just to make sure the light shelters all in need, whether it be for food, shelter...

Clarence High - Thirty One. One to change the bulb and thirty to paint interpretive murals about it all over Bellerive.

Sorell District High - Nobody bothered to ask because nobody cares about Sorell.


Huonville High - Five. One to get a light bulb from Huonville Primary, two to attempt to change it, one to suggest that they just use Huonville Primary's classrooms instead because they're newer and better and one to stand around smoking a joint and trying to look like they're helping.

Tasman District High - They scorn light bulbs in favour of lamps stolen from the Port Arthur ghost tours.



Taramah Heights High School - Unknown. Nobody's heard of it before.
