Snoopy you missed one! The perfectionist know-it-all who tells the thread starter they missed out a small detail and corrects them!

LMFAO, This is too funny. Great stuff gang. I could pick out a few to tag people with but I would definately hit myself in the process. Good times.

you missed another:
the one who flips out and beats the living daylights out of the moron who mentioned the original thread-started forgot a few details, and then goes on to kill everyone who continues to post about the fucking lightbulb. Just let the place be without light.
