Obviously I haven't been coming here for as long as many of you...so this may have been on here before. I really don't know.
A friend of mine emailed it to me and I thought I'd share it with you in case you haven't seen it.

Take your pick.

They say "light bulb" isnt' a word. I guess it depends on what source you use most often. *shrug*

Obviously. "Light bulb" (with the space) is two words...

hey, it's not my joke...I just copied and pasted it from the email...I didnt take time to proofread it

...and i get a bit dumber after reading this thread...

Word to the wise:

UMR students (alumni, etc.) don't take kindly to email chain letter jokes, usually. If you are in the habit of forwarding them (or otherwise continuing their worthless existance) then I suggest you break that habit before you get to UMR.

haha.....i remember you shitting a brick when somebody sent something like that out over tj2nw-l

what the fuck are you talking about? you make it sound like we are offended as a group by chainletters and we take it personallly. i'm a UMR student, and i don't give a fuck if you copy and paste chainletters/chian jokes in the forums.

no body's going to break your kneecaps for forwarding a damn junk chain gag email

I think Mr. Kissane just has something large and phallic looking stuck up his ass. We shouldn't blame him for that.

I thought it was funny gamer, for what it's worth.

I COMPLETELY AGREE. Gamer girl, you loser, i am now going to break your kneecaps!! oh yeah i said it!! even though i have no clue who you are and i rally could care less about forwards.....i don't care! i just want to break kneecaps! buahahahahah!!!

love,
pookie-bear

ooohh, real scary...someone that goes by "pookie-bear" that wants the break kneecaps...oh, wah. Watch me run. Heh.
By the way, since everyone loved to debate lightbulb "with or without a space" (by the way...you can spell it either way. They are synonyms last I checked) ...they should love how you "rally could care less" [/b][/quote]

Ignore the "[/b][/quote]" at the end of that...

[/quote]

i was trying to show some love in that post!!!!

hmm . . .

does this make me the last guy?
