Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Content-Length: 5861 Status: RO ---- CNet YANK BEGINS mess: 10 subj: Fun with lightbulbs from: bramirez@cap.gwu.edu to : Storm Dragon on : Sat 3-Sep-1994 10:23p Let's see if the mailing list here is working at last... The idea for this came directly from a file entitled how-many-usenetters- does-it-take-to-change-a-lightbulb that I found on the Humor gopher server while poking around. A lot of the stuff in the file (really funny) I also found very familiar. So, along the same vein, but with a more "Gee, this sounds familiar" vein, I (slightly) proudly present to you: "HOW MANY DRAGONS DOES IT TAKE TO CHANGE A LIGHTBULB?" GAMES BB TOPIC: FANTASY GAME CLUBS TIME: 06/22 1:12 PM TO: ALL FROM: CRUNCHY DRAGON (ABCD55C) SUBJECT: ULTIMA - DRAGONS GVT Hey, all... got a little joke to relieve the dreariness in this sub... how many Dragons does it take to change a lightbulb? Crunchy Dragon -==O==- REPLY 1: Hey, that's easy. All of them. REPLY 2: can someone tell me how to get a winger? REPLY 3: This is not appropriate to this subject, Crunchy. Please move it up to the main sub. REPLY 4: Why all of them? REPLY 5: Why change it? Why can't it be like it always was? REPLY 6: Sorry, we need the levity down here. REPLY 7: Because you need one to hold the lightblub in, and the rest to run around in circles. REPLY 8: REPLY 9: We have to accept change, it's gonna happen anyway. REPLY 10: That's not funny. Are you implying that we can't make decisions? REPLY 11: how do I get a winger? REPLY 12: Well, *I* thought it was funny. Lay off Crunchy, he only is trying to make this place fun again. REPLY 13: Well, you CAN'T make decisions. REPLY 14: I take offense at that. You never LET us make decisions. REPLY 15: I'm going to post a vote note on whether or not lightbulbs should be changed. Okay? REPLY 16: You're right. This place used to be so much fun. REPLY 17: We need to come up with some sort of Lightbulb Focus. REPLY 18: Okay, my two cents. It's obvious that there might be some problems with the way this thing is turning out. All Crunchy did, IMO, is post a note he believed would make everyone laugh, and take our minds off of things. However, he DID post it in the GVT sub, which technically isn't the thing for jokes, but... [...five more pages of the same...] REPLY 19: Well, he made ME laugh. And now YOU'RE ruining my fun! >:( REPLY 20: can someone tell me who my winger is? REPLY 21: Listen, Crunchy didn't say "How many GVT does it take to change a lightbulb?", did he? No. So lay off him. REPLY 22: Ruining your fun? This club IS NO MORE FUN. And I'm really p!ssed, because it used to be so much fun, and because of people like you and Crunchy, always questioning us, it's gone downhill. All your fault. Nyah. >:( REPLY 23: When did I question YOU, oh high-and-mighty-G@C? And since when did a JOKE constitute a violation in this club? REPLY 24: It's in the Tome, look it up. REPLY 25: It is most certainly NOT in the tome! Show me where it says that I can't make a joke. REPLY 26: Well, it SHOULD be in the tome. Maybe it was in the tome, and we never edited it. Yeah, that must be it. Just in case, though, read my next note. REPLY 27: VOTE NOTE: Should jokes not be allowed in the GVT sub? REPLY 28: All right, that's it. I quit. It's apparent that you can't take a joke. Sheesh. Why did I even bother with this place? REPLY 29: Good riddance. REPLY 30: No, Crunchy! Don't leave! Damn you, GVT! Look what you did! REPLY 31: Too late, I'm gone. REPLY 32: That was uncalled for, Salsa! 'Good riddance?!' REPLY 33: crunchy will you be my winger? i wanna be called lightbulb dragon, cuz they're cool. REPLY 34: Wait! News! There's a conspiracy! REPLY 35: What? REPLY 36: What *I* did?! YOU'RE the one promoting all this inappropriate JUNK POSTING! REPLY 37: JUNK POSTING?! YOU'RE the one that made it a federal case! REPLY 38: Yeah, a conspiracy! Someone created fake dragons to try to rig the change the lightbulb vote!!! REPLY 39-102: (evidence fingering large numbers of Dragons in 'Operation Burnt Filament') REPLY 103: okay, fine, that's it. it's obvious you don't want me as G@C anymore. I quit. REPLY 104: It seems to be dark all of the sudden. REPLY 105: I think the lightbulb burned out. REPLY 106: SATAN LOVES BURNT-OUT LIGHTBULBS REPLY 107-112: Shut up, Aaron. REPLY 113: I think someone should change the lightbulb. REPLY 114: DAMN IT SOMEONE'S GOTTA CHANGE THE LIGHTBULB. if none of you are willing to get off of your lazy a$$es, then I'll change the damn lightbulb myself REPLY 115: I like the darkness. REPLY 116: Who made YOU lightbulb changer?! There wasn't an election for that position! REPLY 117: I remember when it was light. Ah, those were the good old days. Back when this club had a purpose. REPLY 118: fine, be that way. i won't change the damn bulb, I quit! REPLY 119: I quit too! REPLY 120: when do I get my winger? REPLY 121: Is someone going to change the lightbulb or not? REPLY 122: Why change it? Why can't it be like it always was? REPLY 123: We have to accept change, it's gonna happen anyway. -NMPR- --- Ah, the good old days....... - Mono Barry Ramirez Age 17 Germantown MD _ -=======/|--/| Internet: bramirez@cap.gwu.edu /V------//@_/ / \~~~~ Fidonet: 1:109/480 -==G@C==- /---------\ \_| / \__ Rime: ->5194 Ultima Dragons \--/\-------\/ /\/ ---- CNet YANK ENDS Just a little something I thought I would post in honor of Mono's return.
