Spot on NC. And it's the only time of the year that nothing happens in the AFL world.

Light bulbs are woke!

[Cranky Franky 2,089]

1 Post Modern Historian to tell us light bulbs are a European construct and therefore responsible for the evils of colonialism and that the PM should make a public apology for the use of light bulbs.

I recently joined the Flat Earth Friends group on Facebook, and I’ve never seen such a busy group in all my years of Facebook use! I’m positive that the vast majority are there to extract the urine, or for the laughs (I sure as hell am), of which there are plenty. You’ll encounter some of the best creative writing you’re likely to read, coupled with ideas and comments that are both pure genius and so astoundingly stupid at the same time, they’ll have you pulling your hair out by the roots… as Molly would say, “Do yourselves a favour…”.

But be warned, if you join the page, it will overrun your feed like an out of control Lantana infestation… but still, I cannot recommend it highly enough regardless!!

12 Harry Hindsights saying they picked this would happen. They knew all along that the light bulb needed changing even if it looked like it was on.

Brilliant. @Demonstone, your best work yet, methinks (sheepish self-identification notwithstanding).

I've grown accustomed to the bulbous state: eat drink and be merry, for tomorrow, we diet.

[Timothy Reddan-A'Blew 5,271]

Lucky this enjoyable thread, and the equally enjoyable contributions it triggered, arrived before the end of 2023.

It would have set a very high bar for 2024 honours.

[DubDee 26,112]

i’m offended. my brother stepped on a broken light bulb when he was 8 and died from sepsis from the infection. 

very insensitive 

delete thread immediately 

news.com to post article “Forum to be cancelled due to ‘disgusting’ insensitive comments”

😂😂

How bitter yet optimistic of you.

[Ollie fan 3,468]

I person to call for transparency and accountability in the selection of light-bulb-changers.

[kev martin 10,399]

At least one questioning the whole premise, another one asking what the hell is that about, a face slapper, and the obligatory you are the only one, must be a new comer. 

If we don't change the way we produce electricity, the bulb problem doesn't matter. I think the real question is, how many Demon Landers does it take to change energy production? Otherwise, turning them on will lead to getting turned off, and the associated trauma.

It takes a Village, with people from every side of the spectrum.
