1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.


LOL...

thats original

.. ...This is so funny and so true, I had to borrow it and post it on another forum...

...Thanks for posting this up, I almost pee'd my pants...

Ha, that pretty much says it all.

Question: How many of those people are the same people?


We know that the lurker who brings it up in a year is all by himself... but what about the others?

But I think you forgot the posters with pics of their scantily clad significant others changing light bulbs...and also those who sit and curse the darkness...oh, and those who try to change the light bulb before finding out the power was off in the entire State...

No mention of the tools necessary to change said bulb?

I think 97RangerXLT's post hit the nail on the head. He even has the number of each poster right.....And yes, scantily clad pictures also needed to be included.

I hope it hits home to some, me included. Question gets answered in three posts and it goes on for way too long.

that is brilliant. i love it. basically summarizes all forums.. well done. are you sure this shouldn't be in the tailgate? could hurt someone's feelings.

glad you all like it, however I cannot take credit for its creation. This was posted on the lh forums that I am a member on by another member, and I thought it was funny and thought you guys could get a laugh out of it...

And as GBranger04 said, it basically sumarizes all forums

AJ

crap...i fall into several of those catagories

LOL thats quality!

thats great
but the sad part is that it is true

is it light bulb or is it lightbulb the controversy continues
