(Someone posted this on another forum I read. Hope it's something new to some of you) -- heehee

This cracked me up:
How many forum members does it take to change a light bulb?

1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed
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
4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's
3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group
13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"
5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy
4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"
13 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs"
1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.

You know your a herper if....

Every time you walk past your bearded dragon cage, they open their mouths looking for food.
Your Beardies eat better than you do.
Friends come to your house, and you invite them in. They decline and give the excuse that they would rather talk outside, because it is lovely weather (when it is 10 degrees F, and sleeting).
You call a pregnant woman gravid.
People that know or have heard of you automatically say ewwww, when they see you.
You yell at people when they squish bugs, saying that they are a valuable resource to some people.
You go to a herp show and when you come back, you have to explain to your spouse why there are $2500 worth or charges on the next credit card bill.
Whether or not a garage sale has possible herp enclosures determines if you stop or not.
You BD has seen more sun than you have.
Someone flips you off, and you bob your head in retaliation.
When trying to intimidate someone, you puff out your throat and hiss.
There is no such thing as a pillowcase in your house.
When you see a cricket, you lick your lips.
You get a tan by laying on a boulder and you bob your head if someone gets too close.
You have an in-curable form of the empty cage syndrome.
