I found it kinda funny.

cruiserlck, if you have a question about light bulbs you should realy Read The Friggen Manual before posting in this forum. Unless of course you were refering to the Linux version of light bulbs in which case you should take a look at www.linuxlightbulbs.org.

LMAO , You're a nut Xeroid.

In the case of this forum, though, there's a few missing:

23 members to discuss how to mod the lightbulb, either for a cooler look or LAN party use

57 members to discuss the best way of overclocking a lightbulb.

2 noobs to ask what overclocking is.

[jerrygarcia]

23 posts on how to cool the overclocked light bulb.

4 post on how to set up water cooling for the light bulb.

17 posts on the dangers of mixing water and electricity.

Nope, but maybe we oughta be We ARE both Missourians with an affinity for good guitar playing, tho... And my cousin is a firefighter in Belton, MO, in the KC area.... So, in a nutshell, no, this is completely spontaneous, unrehearsed and performed live, without a net.

OH, almost forgot,

43 posts and 6 flames on using the lightbulb for internet gaming.
