This post is totally inappropriate for our elite forum on Nothing To Do With Boats! :mad: <br /><br />You should go to<br /> <br />www.nothingtodowithnothingtodowithboats.com<br /><br />and post your vile comments there. <br /><br />I demand that Admin2002 erase this junk from our site!! :p <br /><br />Otherwise I will report you to Fiendwood and Schooner. They will fix you. :D :D :D

Re: How many...does it take...

Whats the old joke:<br /><br />How many rednecks does it take to change a lightbulb?<br /><br />101, One to hold the lightbulb and one hundred to pick up the house and turn it around in circles.<br /><br />I'm sorry....JB is right. This is totaly inapropreate subject matter for the "nothing to do with boats" board. :p <br /><br />The readers of this post were taken away from valuble beer drinking time.<br /><br /> Further more.... I for one took direct offence at the statements made here as I could use a better way to change a lightbulb. :cool: <br /><br /> At least six of my close relitives hurt their back lifting my trailer when in a horrible lightbuld changing tragity they stumbled and fell in a hole dug by my hound dog (old brew) that is chained up next to my FORD on blocks. :eek: <br /><br />In the future I would appriciate it if you would keep all Of your anti lightbulb sentiments to yourself as some of us need the help, as we are still trying to figure how they get all that light to squeeze through those little wires. :confused: <br /><br />The information gained from such a topic could be of great help round here come Christmas.<br /><br />The children would be much happier if they were'nt so dizzy from checking and changeing lightbulbs on the tree. :( <br /><br /> If they did'nt have to spend Christmas eve turning me around in circles on the ladder while I held the hotpepper christmas twinklers, because Of some information that I my have gotten off an important post such as "changing a lightbulb", they might have more time to put the alluminum antlers on old brew so we could have a true happy holiday. :) <br /><br />Anything to add to this Schooner?<br /><br />Miffedwood. :D :D

I can't believe this having something as dirty as changing a light bulb on this forum. This type of talk is okay in the locker room but here where children can read it how shameful.
