How many rec.arts.anime.misc posters does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

How many rec.arts.anime.misc posters does it take to screw in a light
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.

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?

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

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.
