Best punchline wins.
Sprint or Ironman?
Easy-Zero. They’re too busy fighting over which ladder to use- Alu- Carbon fiber or sreel.
none, they are too busy training to notice it’s burnt out.
Zero. The significant other finally changes it because the triathlete has ordered a zillion different bulbs in different shapes, sizes, wattages, and is debating which gives the room the right light at the right time of day, which includes consulting the LLS (local lightbulb shop) and various online forums…
Silly person…
Triathletes don’t screw in lightbulbs, they screw in hotel rooms
Oh, dear. This could go on.
First, we have to discuss the ideological implications of why you want to screw in the lightbulb and how you should go about doing so. You then have to argue endlessly about the many different ways of screwing in a lightbulb and which one is best. At this point, someone will cause a fracture in the discussion because they will argue that the most practical way of screwing in a light bulb may not be the most appealing way to do so ideologically, and that we should not betray our ideals for the sake of changing a light bulb.
This, then, will bring us to the point where we can discuss the best kind of light bulb to use. I would suggest CFC, because they last long time, and while more expensive than the standard kind, are better for conservation and energy consumption purposes. This statement will spawn three new threads. One will be a flame against people who still use incandescent light bulbs. A second will be a rant against the tree-huggers, as it is our God-given right as Americans to fill the dumps of the world with as many light bulbs as we can afford. The third will be a thread discussing how I am stupid because all light bulbs are incandescent after a fashion, and will highlight the differences between the different bulb types. The main proponents of this thread will be two PhD Electrical Engineers; one for incandescent, one for CFC.
Meanwhile, yet another thread will, as someone else mentioned, discuss the best kind of ladder to use(I use fiberglass). After around two weeks of back and forth flaming, we will all finally agree that while we are violently opposed to each others opinions(all split along party lines, natch), we respect each other as humans and value this forum as a place to share ideas, and we will each go to change our light bulb in our own way.
At this point, we will discover that our spouse has already changed the light bulb, because we were on “that God-damned forum” again, and she was tired of tripping over the ottoman.
Only one because the rest of the world revolves around him anyway.
LOL! If jmorrissey doesn’t win, there’s no justice!
Frank “Night and” Day is coming out with a new Powerbulb installer. It smoothes out your screwing tecnique by teaching you to recruit all the muscles in your wrist and forearm. The additional benefit is that your flicking motion will improve when turning on the switch. Meanwhile Gary" let there be light" Tingley is promoting the new ROTORbulb system. It eliminates the deadspot in your screwing motion. You will have to screw in bulbs for at least a month to see improvement though so be patient. Both of these systems will work better if Slowman or Tom D comes out and makes sure your hand is correctly positioned on the bulb. Feel free to post photos of your current grip position on “brightlight.com”
Tibbs wants to see pictures of everyones “Bulbs”
Dumb newbie question, how many hours a week should I work on my bulb turning as opposed to my ladder climbing? I have an old wooden ladder but am thinking of upgrading to a new one. I really like the fiberglass ones but everyone says “get the one that fits”. If my inseam is 54" and my torso is 13", what size ladder should I get.
Paul you forgot to mention that Powerbulb has been proven to increase your swim efficiency and reduce swim times.
Thanks, vitus, I appreciate it.
I forgot to mention that anyone who wants to outlaw incandescent bulbs in favor of CFC bulbs will be invited to move to Canada.
Who needs light bulbs. I wake up at dawn and after the sun sets, the only light I see is the captivating glow of my monitors (TV, PC, HR)
You people have no lives haha.
That depends: are we talking a Zone 1 or 2 effort? Also: are we talking changing that bulb in the Base, Build or Strength Phase? One last question: can I follow the bulb changing with a toilet paper changing for a Changing Brick?
Only one because the rest of the world revolves around him anyway.
Perfect! I vote for this one.
Draft legal or nondrafting?

If it is more than one Slowtwitcher, than it won’t get done as one half will insist on screwing (to) the left, while the other half will insist on screwing (to) the right.
