Has it been 6 months yet - is it my time to post?

I would go back and quote all 11 pages(to date) in this post - but I think Mary Lou would absolutely kill me.

I can't believe I read the WHOLE THING -- and I did not understand a word of it.

:

Sorry folks I am a newbie to lightbulbs or light bulbs

Are they related to science fiction? or perhaps vampires?

Could someone please explain what exactly these are? the various pictures posted made me more confused than ever? Are you sure some of those light bulbs/lightbulbs are not pregnant?

And regarding showing - do you razor them and put goop on them? If so what brand of razor do you use and how much of the bulb do you shave?

Thanks for all your help - I look forward to your responses.

OH MY, I think we all have WWAAYY too much time on our hands. :bgrin

You know how when you lose a beloved friend you never think you can replace it....I found the nicest soft white bulb today. It needed a home and a friend of mine didn't want her any more so I took her and she fit right in! No troubles or sparks or sputters, she seems happy and all lit up! :new_shocked:

 

[qtrrae]

Oh Dimi, I am so happy that you are consoling yourself with a nice soft white bulb! I know sometimes it is difficult to try to compensate for your loss but a good friend once told me, "don't think of it as a replacement" but rather as a new and brighter beginning!

I'm sure you and your new little soft white light bulb will begin to bond once you see how she brightens the night.

Couldn't help myself :bgrin . I found out we are all wrong. They are not lightbulbs at all but they are dark suckers. Read below so that we may all be corrected:

Bell Labs Proves Existence of Dark Suckers

For years it has been believed that electric bulbs emitted light. However, recent information from Bell Labs has proven otherwise. Electric bulbs don't emit light, they suck dark. Thus they now call these bulbs dark suckers. The dark sucker theory, according to a Bell Labs spokesperson, proves the existence of dark, that dark has mass heavier than that of light, and that dark is faster than light.

The basis of the dark sucker theory is that electric bulbs suck dark. Take for example, the dark suckers in the room where you are. There is less dark right next to them than there is elsewhere. The larger the dark sucker, the greater its capacity to suck dark. Dark suckers in a parking lot have a much greater capacity than the ones in this room. As with all things, dark suckers don't last forever. Once they are full of dark, they can no longer suck. This is proven by the black spot on a full dark sucker. A candle is a primitive dark sucker. A new candle has a white wick. You will notice that after the first use, the wick turns black, representing all the dark which has been sucked into it. If you hold a pencil next to the wick of an operating candle, the tip will turn black because it got in the path of the dark flowing into the candle.

Unfortunately, these primitive dark suckers have a very limited range. There are also portable dark suckers. The bulbs in these can't handle all of the dark by themselves, and must be aided by a dark storage unit. When the dark storage unit is full, it must be either emptied or replaced before the portable dark sucker can operate again.

Dark has mass. When dark goes into a dark sucker, friction from this mass generates heat. Thus it is not wise to touch an operating dark sucker. Candles present a special problem, as the dark must travel in the solid wick instead of through glass. This generates a great amount of heat. Thus it can be very dangerous to touch an operating candle. Dark is also heavier than light. If you swim deeper and deeper, you notice it gets slowly darker and darker. When you reach a depth of approximately fifty feet, you are in total darkness. This is because the heavier dark sinks to the bottom of the lake and the lighter light floats to the top. The immense power of dark can be utilized to mans advantage. We can collect the dark that has settled to the bottom of lakes and push it through turbines, which generate electricity and help push it to the ocean where it may be safely stored. Prior to turbines, it was much more difficult to get dark from the rivers and lakes to the ocean. The Indians recognized this problem, and tried to solve it. When on a river in a canoe travelling in the same direction as the flow of the dark, they paddled slowly, so as not to stop the flow of dark, but when they traveled against the flow of dark, they paddled quickly so as to help push the dark along its way.

Finally, we must prove that dark is faster than light. If you were to stand in an illuminated room in front of a closed, dark closet, then slowly open the closet door, you would see the light slowly enter the closet, but since the dark is so fast, you would not be able to see the dark leave the closet.

In conclusion, Bell Labs stated that dark suckers make all our lives much easier. So the next time you look at an electric bulb remember that it is indeed a dark sucker.

Ok, my job is done :lol:

OY ! Now we have to go back and start all over......

[bfogg]

I would like to offer a free reading to anyone having trouble with their bulbs,especially any of the ones who have been rescued from abuse.

Hugs

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You mean to say that my 2 little baby bulbs are not bulbs at all!!

Oh my!,.......How do I tell them that they have crossed over to the dark side,....

as,...gulp,......as,...... Dark Suckers???????

:

: :new_shocked:

Thank you Bonnie,......I will talk to my poor little baby suckers,...about this and see what they would like to do?

: :bgrin

 

[AppyLover2]

Good heavens Amanda, did you write that or find it somewhere. That must have taken a lot of research cause it's really deep!

Ummmmm....Speaking of deep, now I wonder if it's really dark deep down in a well.

 

[ChrystalPaths]

:new_shocked: :aktion033: This is just too cool!

 

[wade3504]

Now Bonnie, you can't give a free reading to a bulb when they aren't bulbs :no: . Remember they are dark suckers. Correct terminology must be used

: .

I didn't come up with this research myself. It is official Dark Sucker research from Bell Labs.

: :aktion033: Three Cheers for Sue C. who had the "bright idea" to start this thread in the first place, and many thanks to everyone else who did not let the light go out! ....or stop the dark from being sucked...... or whatever the right terminology is. :bgrin

 

[MiLo Minis]

Could someone please post a picture of a dwarf lightbulb? I just want to see what one looks like.

 

[keeperofthehorses]

It's back! It's back :aktion033: Three cheers for the lightbulb thread! errr.... dark sucker thread! :lol:

 

[Sue_C.]

So, kinda like...is a full moon actually a naturally occuring dark-sucking phenomena??

: :lol:

 

[Cathy_H]

: Don't cha think it is time to put a toe tag on this thread & bury it. ......... Just kidding!

:

 

[nootka]

Well, if we're going to change the terminology related to these objects, should we not also discuss more accurate methods of measurement?

I mean...do I measure from the fattest part of the bulb or from the top?

What happens if it's LED? Don't even get me started on Neon b/c from all I have heard, that is a GAS.

So confusing!

 

[wade3504]

: :lol:

I think that would be correct as is the sun. It's a good thing they can suck a lot of dark isn't it. I think the moon is losing power though as it can't suck all the dark out of the sky at night. I think it needs to be replaced.

I arrived late at this thread. As you can just imagine. there was no light

to read my Mapquest directions.

Now that I am here I am trying to grasp the dark sucker theory and feel

that possibly the bulbs had not simply burned out on my way to this thread

but possibly had already filled themselves up.

I, however personally, do feel quite illuminated by the discussion and will

comtemplate everyone's point of view before I continue with my breeding

program, provided there is now enough light to find my way back to my

little darlings.

MiLo Minis Posted Mar 24 2006, 11:59 PM Could someone please post a picture of a dwarf lightbulb? I just want to see what one looks like.

This is the only dwarf bulb I could find,......poor little guy,.....bless his sad little twisted bulby heart!

Makes me wanna cry

: ,..ohhh,..but,..he is a fighter.

Personally,.....This one is MY FAV,.....the new 2006 model,.....just as sleek as can be,....really likes to suck the dark!

: :lol:

ohh,..almost forgot,.....In case you were wondering,.....

Q: How many Canadians does it take to change a lightbulb ?

A: Five. One to screw in the bulb and the other four to call out "Get Back!, Get Back!".
