How many moparts members does it takes to change a light bulb? *

14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the
light bulb could have been changed differently
7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs
1 to move it to the Lighting section
2 to argue then move it to the Electricals section
7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs
5 to flame the spell checkers
3 to correct spelling/grammar flames
6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another 6
to condemn those 6 as stupid
2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"
15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light
bulb" is perfectly correct
19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take
this discussion to a lightbulb forum
11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light
bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum
36 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to
buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this
technique and what brands are faulty
7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs

1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and

And don't forget this:

1 to post that it is a very good example of a rare factory 1970 Edison Titanium bulb, even though there is no factory evidence of such a bulb ever being built...

One to talk about how his Chicken once pecked out the Halogen Light Bulb in his drop light, and 5 others to help him hijack the Light Bulb thread with his tangent.

One to talk about filament replacement on a 60's light bulb he found in a field.

A few A Body guys to go off about their preference for the smaller christmas lights.

One girl with a pink light bulb.

200 to pick apart pictures of other people's lightbulbs.

And a lot of debate over flourescent vs. incandescent...and a few other's about whether or not their late model German LED's are really "Light Bulbs" in the traditional sense.

Yes jamie is not allowed to buy anymore lightbulbs. The chicken got electrocuted during the commission of the offending breakage act. the Purple hippos were hula hooping and the Blue oxen were frezzing in Florida.
Meanwhile Oz was laughing at everyone for using bulbs that screwed in counter-clockwise.

How many automechanics does it take to screw in a lightbulb ?

- Five. One to force it with a hammer, and four to go out for more lightbulbs.

Does anyone have the specs on this lightbulb? Is it rebuildable? maybe it can be swapped to a different socket,is it interchangable?

Or what about the hundreds who think that the brand of lightbulb that they are loyal to, can illuminate so much quicker than other lightbulbs offered by competing brands?
And occasionaly protesting that other brand bulbs are using "tweaked" elements to gain an advantage.

Lets add that there is one that posts about changing the bulb then changine his mind and starts another one, then gets bored and gets 15 more. Then it takes 200 people to flame said person for buying more "junk" lightbulbs in the first place.

There would have to be a few in there, for posting links to NOS bulbs on EBAY.

And also some, for links to REPRO bulbs, and another 10 to explain why the repro ones aren't as good as the NOS.

Only a HACK would use repro ones on a concours car

Then you have untold numbers of guys who know someone who has a light bulb and is not using it and is definately storing it improperly (multiple photos of said neglected bulb attached) and that it is a complete SIN that he refuses to give it to someone who will give it a good home, namely HIM!!!!

And BTW, all you guys who are willing to pay full price for your bulbs are RUINING the light bulb hobby!!!

Don't forget the 3 people who mention that they swapped out that old 120V bulb for a nice 440V bulb. They say it is much brighter but takes more energy....

And one to complain that he did that swap and it blew out his lightswitch....

Someone save those bulbs quickly, while the aluminum trim around the bottom is still salvagable. You know what Year One wants for that stuff...$$$.

You forgot about the one or two that claim to have a 1970 model bulb, when everybody knows they were only made in 1969. They have pictures and documentation, but can't show them to anyone because the bulb isn't restored and someone may try to clone one. You are welcome to come and see it at a cook-out if you don't believe.

Note the ultra-rare lower case "I" on the second bulb. Often thought to be a factory goof. Say, I thought the silver reflector was only available on the RB bulbs...( R eal B right)

Ok....so I forgot a few in my original post......

How about at least 3 more posts for the guy who has test results on his bench at home comparing 6 different kinds of light bulbs as to which one is the best...

One to talk about the containerload of rare Australian lightbulbs he's bringing in.

An entire site to boycott Phillips lightbulbs because they posted a diatribe on their website about how Moparts members are a bunch of whiners who couldn't find their a$$es with both hands.

One to talk about how Galen certified that his lightbulb is a "one of one" and 20 to tell him how Galen doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.

One to post a link every week to that "one of one" purple 1970 lightbulb that someone is trying to sell for 200 grand.

One to post a searing criticism of "lightbulbs today" magazine. Twenty others to jump on the bandwagon, and 20 more to try to explain that "lightbulbs today" is actually a really good magazine. At least five more to jump in to say that that's the reason why the only lightbulb magazine THEY subscribe to is "Bulb guide" which is written by REAL bulb lovers instead of the closet fluorescent tube guys who write "lightbulbs today."

At least five guys weekly to write about how they, once again, proved that their bulbs are WAY brighter than the japanese bulbs.

O.K. How about the one guy that finds an Ebay auction where the individual has the numbers and pertinant components from an old rare broken light bulb that hints that it could be transfered to a different less desirable bulb. This detestable practice is known as "re-bulbing".

Don't get us started, Gary...Ypu know what'll happen.

Pretty soon Oz and I will be trying to calculate the heat given off by turning a bulb's threads in a socket, and keep at it, getting farther and farther out there until you're all wearing hip waders and the mods whack this.

What about the 5 or 6 that will see Scat Pack's pics of the rotting bulbs and try to guess what yard they're in? Like, "Hey... I've seen those before, is that over at Sylvania's or Phillip's?" or stuff like "What a shame, did ya see the flourescents they had under tarps out in the back?"

If a Chicken started out on "The 101"..errrr..01 heading south, and a purple Hippo started at the same time heading north from Garden Grove, how many Moparts members would it take to change a light bulb????

Fast




Don't get us started, Gary...Ypu know what'll happen.

Pretty soon Oz and I will be trying to calculate the heat given off by turning a bulb's threads in a socket, and keep at it, getting farther and farther out there until you're all wearing hip waders and the mods whack this.




I would never understand why in the world one of the Mods would think of locking thisthread? It's so informative. And, Oh yah, Where is Oz anyhow???

And one guy with many lightbulbs out back goes and trades one he is mad at for another one that is in worse shape, but he thinks has more potential!

Then there's the guy with a fat checkbook who pays someone else to change his bulbs and probably wouldn't know which end to screw in anyhow.

And what about the newbie member who ruined his bulb by trying to restore it himself the cheap way against all of our advice and now wants advice on how to fix his screw up and PROPERLY restore it after the fact.

And the numerous members who flame him for being such a nimrod in the first place.

And the one other newbie who defends him...who usually ends up being an alias of the guy who we all flamed.

And the member who posts a flame about a particular bulb vendor who never shipped the rare NOS bulb he already paid for...and warns us to stay away from said bulb vendor in the signature of his profile and/or every other opportunity he gets.

And what about the member who HIJACKS the bulb thread by going off on a tangent about sockets and switches or asks the question about who is going to "Bulbs in the Basin" this year?...

Another forum I go to posted this same thing and we all had a good laugh there too. I said I had been in a couple of those threads I thought
