CNYScouter 46 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 How about the poster who mentions something and the thread continues about a whole different topic. Isn't changing a light bulb for the Home Repairs Merit Badge? Link to post Share on other sites

Trevorum 24 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I just knew that ol' Semper - that fixture of our forum - could not resist the attempt to enlighten us with his (re)volting puns. A predictable arc, we've had the full spectrum of comments. Link to post Share on other sites
OldGreyEagle 5 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I can tell most of you are getting a real charge out of this topic. And I have to say to myself, watts the harm? All it takes is a little provocation and everybody who fancies themselves a live wire gets amped up! Oh well, keep it light and maybe I wont have to make this thread go lights out Pardon me, I have other threads of which I must keep abreast Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle447 10 Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 It certainly appears to me that OGE is extremely Bright with a certain glow i'm sure...........after all what the halogen is wrong with a little humor........... humor is a good OUTLET for the soul.........

Akaluga 10 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 How many Microsoft technicians does it take to change a light bulb? None, Bill Gates just redefines darkness as the standard. Maybe National can learn something by this. Link to post Share on other sites
stlscouter 10 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Do I see someone saying that National is in the dark or that the place needs to be kept in the dark? Or is the place just full of dim-watts? This could cause lurkers to turn on their light-sabres. Let the light show begin! Link to post Share on other sites
rpushies 10 Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Light bulbs DO NOT emit light! They SUCK DARK! So the discussion should be sucking dark out of the conversation in order to allow room for the light to shine. Another brilliant application of the Dark Sucker Theory! How's that for a twist in the topic flow? Yours Truly in Scouting, Rick Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzy Bear 12 Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Two guys had just eaten a tiger when caught by a Forest Ranger. On the way to jail, they were asked how it tasted and one said, Gaaarrrate! After Thomas Edison made the first bulb, he remarked that it was not really his intention to make light of just anything.

OldGreyEagle 5 Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 The way I understood it, Edison was looking for the perfect material to be the light source. He tried Human Hair, Horse Hair, Goat Hair, Copper, Steel, Grass and about a thousand other materials. His wife told him that what he was looking for was a filament of his imagination. BTW, how can you tell when a Martian has been in your house? All your light bulbs are gone and there are piles of little green crystals in front of every lamp... Link to post Share on other sites
