How many ask for pie?

Best post ever. Two thumbs down.

Oh so true.

You forget the "#" to accuse others of not reading their posts because you couldn't possibly disagree with them had you "read their post", unless, of course, you are "illiterate".

Same amount as it did the last two times this was posted here?

Actually the answer is none ...because we have no fucking light bulbs!

but if we did Ritter would surely shoot it out

How Many Forum Members Does it Take To Change A Lightbulb?

ROFLMAO this is the best post I have ever seen. oh, and "me too!"

oooohh ooooh!!!! I could make this post my signature!!!!

The question posed was how many forum members does it take to change a light bulb, but the figures quoted, while interesting, do not address the question directly. Since light bulbs can be changed by persons who are not forum members, the answer to the question posed is zero.

lol very good you win
