[LostInWilderness]

[I like to listen]

One to say the thread needs a picture.

ETA- One to eta a resize of picture posted.

[merry slug]

One more to suggest you resize the picture :p

[feigenbaum]

I did not know there were light bulbs on aisle 8.

[merry slug]

^ You should've done a Google search, feigenbaum :b

[scpp1304]

Shouldn't it be the "Absence of Dark" bulb?

[feigenbaum]

[Magical Trevor]

Has anyone mentioned the wattage of the bulb yet?;)

[scpp1304]

42 watts

[merry slug]

20 to say they see the Dharma logo on the light bulb.

[Magical Trevor]

You wouldn't believe the amount of times that bulb has appeared in flashbacks

[uhavemel]

:rollin

Just wanted to chime in. And Dave...love the new avatar. Is the new sig line suppose to say goldfish? 8o

[Magical Trevor]

Is the new sig line suppose to say goldfish?

You're right I just went and changed it thanks

[merry slug]

20 to say they see the Dharma logo on the light bulb.

30 more to say, no, that's just the normal threading on the bulb.

[Bekka]

You left out the 5 who pop in to say there are already six other light bulb threads.

:p

[I like to listen]

4 to start duplicate threads in "Guys? Where Are We!!" because they do not go in Lostaways.

.

[Celtic Ceilidh]

Shouldn't this be moved to the Electrical forum?

[LostInWilderness]

Who lost the lightbulb?

[Bekka]

Light bulbs were invented 108 years ago. 108!!!!

I did some mathematics, and the numbers add UP to 108!!!
THE ISLAND IS AN EXPERIMENT IN *ELECTRICITY!!!!*
It was SO OBVIOUS!

And---now this is the killer: The shark's tail had a LIGHT BULB SYMBOL on it!

[LostInWilderness]

That's a bright idea.

[merry slug]

Light bulbs were invented 108 years ago. 108!!!!

I did some mathematics, and the numbers add UP to 108!!!
THE ISLAND IS AN EXPERIMENT IN *ELECTRICITY!!!!*
It was SO OBVIOUS!

And Desmond had ELECTRICITY in his hatch!!! Another connection! TPTB are definitely trying to tell us something.

[drabauer]

And in Greek mythology, wasn't Apollo associated with LIGHT!!!??? And didn't the Titans first LIGHT the world? And the Underworld was where you were sent when banished from the LIGHT??!!!

[mystjade]

One teasing Mod to suggest that they might all be dead.

Forty-five newbies to take her seriosly, and start purgatory thread's.

[Lost In His Eyes]

I did not know there were light bulbs on aisle 8.

:rollin Good point JJ! I thought there were only Nerf footballs in Aisle 8! :D


And don't forget the 2 or 3 posters who have an inside joke tied into it all... :D

[PinkysBrainX]

Hey, I think that light bulb might be Ethan!

[mystjade]

And don't forget the 2 or 3 posters who have an inside joke tied into it all... :D

Shhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! ;)

[Dallard]

Merry Slug: 20 to say they see the Dharma logo on the light bulb. :rollin
This has got to be the FUNNIEST thing I have read in a long time on here.

[LostInWilderness]

In separate threads.

[The Swan]

Should this not be moved to the Light/Dark thread?

This has been posted before, please use the search function before posting

We had a thread on that here too, now if only we had a search function that didn't suck...

[Brian]

I thought it sounded familiar but I couldn't remember where it was or even if it was here that I saw it. If you find it, let me know and I'll move/delete as necessary. :Cheers:

ETA - I found Mattie's "How many LOST characters does it take? (http://www.losttv-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=450669&highlight=lightbulb#post450669)" thread.

Oh nevermind, I found the original thread (http://www.losttv-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7991&highlight=lightbulb). Sorry for the repeat post.

[scotpgot]

Well at least isn't wasn't a new thread . . .

[Magical Trevor]

Bump for Great Justice


...and cos Brian said so...

[Brian]

OK, I moved it over here where it's now a tad redundant but still funny.

Thanks for the bump Trevor, it looks like we both found it about the same time.
