How Many Phatmassers...

[Nihil Obstat]

Q. How many Phatmassers does it take to change a lightbulb?

A. 40;
One to replace the bulb,
one to properly dispose of the old one,
one to review every Vatican document ever published to find out what the best kind of bulb is,
one to rant about why lightbulbs are a post Vatican !! liturgical abuse,
one to accuse someone else of being uncharitable,
one to write a lengthy essay on the distinct and beautiful Eastern views on lightbulbs,
one to start an argument on the Latinization of light fixtures,
one to disgustedly rant about why the lightbulbs in Obama's house are awful, just awful,
one to sadly mention how John McCain's bulbs aren't much better (but Sarah Palin, now SHE has good lightbulbs!),
one to make an off-topic joke on lights,
at least twenty three to pray a Rosary for the longevity of the new bulb,
one to start a lame topic called "There is no lightbulb,"
one to start a lame topic called "There is a lightbulb,"
three to go way off topic and talk about football of chees[i][/i]e,
one to deny the existence of lightbulbs,
one to write an excessively long joke about lightbulbs,
...and thirty eight to go to Eucharistic Adoration afterwards.



....and no, that traditionalist joke does not mean I'm liberal. I'm still neither.

You forgot about the discussion of the eco ethics of the old bulbs.

That's true. My proper disposal thing was more referring to disposal of blessed objects.

Add any as you think of them.

Very cute........ I don't change my lightbulbs. I will wait until I am totally reliant on candles first. I am very lazy.

Changing light bulbs is one of those things that husbands are for.

Actually it is 41. You forgot the "chump" that started the discussion on light bulbs in the first place.

no, thirty-five go to adoration... so you can fit in the eco-warrior's rant, the chump caller, and me saying "I like pie".

That would be the same chump who was supposed to be falling asleep, but spend a half hour writing a joke instead.

So many people! What if the church can't hold the thirty eight already going?
...Well... maybe it's a small church. You never know.
Make your own list then.

Wow!! Now that was funny. Good job!!

I think I laughed out loud. It's creepy how well you know us.

What about the one that added a fílter so everytime someone attempted to say "lightbulb", it came out as something to the effect of "Shiny McShineroo contraption"?
Or the one that argued that it was silly to follow the common usage of the lightbulb and interpreted the instructions on the box any way they wanted?
Or the one that made a poll regarding which type of lightbulb was best, how many lightbulb types there actually are, and whether the energy efficient lightbulbs should be considered lightbulbs at all?

[Vincent Vega]

Forgot to mention, your list was hilarious! Funniest thing I've read around here in a long time.

This should go down in PM history.

No joke.
