lightbulb is so old school. I call them 'dark suckers'. Because, science will prove that the so called 'light bulbs' do not emit light, but rather suck dark. :)

It only takes one lesbain to screw in a light bulb, but when she's done she tells you how much better it was than screwing a man.

Are we talking Incandescent, florescent, or LED? It does make a difference.

And are you sure it really needs to be changed? Did you check the plug? The fuse? Maybe the lamp is ugly and should just be replaced?

Maybe we should rethink an entirely new approach to light. Maybe we need an All American, all oval lighting series... oops wrong thread.
