How Many Gcers Does It Take To Change a Light Bulb?

That's one title I'm glad I don't hold.

Back in the day, it was easy. These days there's just too many idiots and it actually requires a lot of work.

12 to complain that their lightbulb of choice wasn't chosen to be screwed, in spite of being a Class A, top of the line, highly recommended lightbulb.

[smiley21]

1 to ask about tiers in the lightbulb community on college campuses.

1 more to ask if the lightbulb's boyfriend will still be around since the lightbulb is busy being used in pledge activities.

[Tom Earp]

Well evidently it did not work?

[33girl]

2 to bump the Gamma Chi threads and say "this sounded like a really good idea that would have helped us change lightbulbs....what happened?"

[Benzgirl]

At least a dozen PNMs who can guess what chapter their Lambda Beta (Light Bulb) is in

[catiebug]

And at least a couple of PNMs to ask about the reputation each brand of lightbulb has.

[SigKapSweetie]

6 GCers to explain - again - that we don't discuss lightbulb reputations on GC because some of the lightbulbs might be offended, and anyway, why do you care what some random internet strangers think about the lightbulbs in your particular hardware store? What matters is that you choose the lightbulb that will shine brightest in your particular socket.

[Benzgirl]

At least 100 GCers to ask if the Lightbulb was really the twin that wore the pink rhinestone pantyhose during recruitment.

[IlovemyAKA]

3 more to ask if they came introduce established lightbulbs with specific instructions to a community college

[tld221]

and one more GCer to bump the "lightbulb be looking like predator" and "H&A" threads.

[nittanyalum]

^^^and that hilarious "Scared of Lightbulbs" thread. Reduces me to tears of laughter every time.
