1 Tom Earp to drunkenly post about changing a light bulb in the LXA house. He also made chili because it's damn cold out.

And then 1 macallan post telling Earp he hopes he licks a frozen flag pole and his tongue gets stuck.

And one Drolefille translation would be needed.

And mac, he might not post about chilli -- it might be Tom's Gooey Buns.

One troll to tell us how he gots herpes from his babymama because the lightbulb wasn't chnaged so he couldn't find his condom.

And add 1 to post a lolcat to lighten the mood.

Also 1 post by sheetcake showing a sheetcake.

And 1 to post :rolleyes: because the original person shouldn't have brought the light bulb to GC in the first place and has spent too much time on it.

Hahahaha oh my lord, this is too freaking funny. I started a new temporary job as a receptionist, and I'm sure they're wondering why I'm CRACKING up out here I love you, GC!

3 GCers who spark debate on the purpose of changing said light bulb. i mean, are we changing lightbulbs for the cool mixers, Lightbulb Week and what not, or are we changing more than lightbulbs, but our respective communities?

2 GCers who will direct potential lightbulb changers to lightbulb.org, because lightbulb-changer-related questions will not be answered here.

one GCer to rebuke all lightbulbs that light up anything other than the traditional, for they are trifling skanky broke lightbulbs. :D

19 to condem hazing in any form.
1 post from earp that seems to suggest that if you haze you'll have to change the light bulb yourself or lose the chance to change the light bulb which would be :eek: but if you take the light bulb for granted you'll be :( when HQ tells you that no more light bulbs will be coming your way :mad: unless you promise to change all the light bulbs on a regular basis :o which any member of a GLO would know already :rolleyes: because if you aren't aware of Greek Life and changing light bulbs then you have no business asking about changing light bulbs in the first place :mad: and you should take it from him because he started a local :p that became a chapter of LXA. :cool: :confused:

WAAAAAAAIT.

Can I sponsor the lightbulb for AI? Pretty please??

You totally read my mind!

And don't forget, in the north and the south it is completely different when changing light bulbs!

What great Greek people we are for changing lightbulbs.:mad:

I wonder what the rest of the non-Greek worlds think of us?:eek:

You speak the truths.:rolleyes:

I can't handle the way thinks are.:confused:

Where is my gooey buns.:(

Also, a post from oldu talking about the history of lightbulb changing, from gas lamps to electric bulbs.

With a ranking of which one is better! :D

Lightbulbs are the wave of the future!

And one (probably me) to ask if the light bulb burned out before it was changed.

This thread is wonderful!

16 old-timers to fondly reminisce about the good ol' days when we didn't use light bulbs, we used candles....real candles.

There is probably a friend of someone's friends girlfriend's brother's stepsister's fraternity brother's aunt's neighbor that will need advise about said lightbulb too.

That's because in our day, light bulbs hadn't been invented.

a thread hijack to discuss whether scented candles were better than unscented, and which scents are best

66 to tell you to READ THE STICKIES

55 of them will also tell you to DO A SEARCH on the subject

Another hijack to discuss the Risk Management issues of using real candles in a house.

a mournful post about how electric candles aren't nearly as cool as real candles, with a response involving a Prefs story about why real candles and long hair don't mix

And 1 who likes changing light bulbs while wearing pantyhose with sequins up the back...

umm, lest not forget an OH.SNAP macro.
