How many rec.arts.anime.misc posters does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Terrence Briggs
bulb?
1 to complain that light bulbs are off-topic [raises hand]
3 to attack the self-appointed net cop
1 to bring up the "Tesla v. Edison" debate
3 to propogate the "Tesla v. Edison" debate
1 to ask if the bulb is incandescent or flourescent
1 to demand the incandescent bulb be CFC, thus reducing greenhouse gas
emissions
1 to note that CFCs contain Mercury
8 to propogate a tangential flamewar that includes Al Gore, Nantucket
Sound, and ethanol at some point
2 to get offended at some statement that was made during the
tangential discussions
3 to answer each offense with their own offense
6 to propogate the debate over the offenses
2 to pedantically dissect some statement that was made during the
tangetial discussions
4 to propogate the pedantic dissection
3 to make quips and nonsensical observations of a point that was
raised at some point during the debate
2 to correct the spelling and/or grammar of an earlier statement
2 to note an anime with a really notable bulb-changing sequence
1 to observe that the bulb still hasn't been changed, despite all of
the rancor
2 to remember how much the debate reminds them of a previous debate on
the same topic, in this very discussion group
2 to remind folks that rec.arts.anime.misc isn't a "discussion group"
1 to attempt to answer the original question several days late, thus
getting buried under all of the noise
I lost count at 50, myself. I love y'all anyway.
Terrence Briggs, gave up on his 14-day-old Netflix shipment of Blood,
Tea, and String, and settled for Tekkaman Blade instead.
Peace to you...

Well, they are. I've never seen a light bulb over the head of an anime
character. Sweat drops, yes. Nosebleeds for male characters, under eye
reddening for female characters.
So let's just rephrase this a bit. How many otaku does it take to make
Major Kusanagi blush? (hey, I could have invoked Haruhara Haruko).

What, no "1" to bring up the evils of Cruchyrolll, how ADV is going
out of buisness (just give 'em time, he swears, he's got insiders!),
and anime is about to collapse?

A-yup, that'd be me. ^_^ Glad you know us all so well! By the by,
they can be recycled easier now, Home Depot does it for free! *Dodges

That's nice, if the nearest Home Depot wasn't 200 miles away.

This one would probably be me. Funny how "going green" can be much
more riskier to your health in the short-term.

You forgot 2 to loudly pronounce how they are putting people in some
of the other categories above into their killfiles.

Really? (walks over to a CFC bulb) Ami, are you in there? (waits)
I'm not getting an answer...
(C'mon, somebody had to put something on-topic into the thread.)

I'd say "try the LED bulbs", but they're barely good enough for
accent/mood lighting.

I've heard good things about the "$1600 for case of 10
drop in replacement for flourescent" LED bulbs, although
I haven't invested the money to see for myself.
My own studies suggest LED lighting is most effective in
platters, but those are also expensive.

Seeing as how my LED flashlights work far better than similar incandescent
lights, I figure it's only a matter of time. When MagLite goes all LED,
then we'll know, for sure, that the LEDvolution is now.
