Well, you know what I'm like with triple-blade razors and baked bean cans and we won't go into what I once did to myself with a serrated cake-knife.

Wish me luck. My living room lightbulb's just given up the ghost, so prayers, spells, etc appreciated as I attempt to play on my God-complex and do a "Let there be light," thing.

*sigh*

Hold me.

Tchah. Don't see what's wrong with candles...Oh, wait - the 'burning the house down' thing. As you were.

Did you put some beans on the bulb too?

And remember - if the bulb breaks, do not touch. Use carrots - that's what they do on the OSH commercials - "we've got the answers"

cut carrot in half - stick carrot in broken lightbulb and unscrew.

I thought it was half a potato?

How many ScarletPeaches does it take to change a lightbulb?

At least three....one to do it, one to sit by and eat beans and toast, and one to post about it all...

Just be careful of the SpiderCam that likes to hide behind that lightbulb. They're quite fragile, you know.

Now I gave My Immortal his first rep point from me for this-I do not give a lot of them-I trust he will immortalizicate it and cherish it in his rep pot-but it is a great and humorass answer and of course quite true

My Immortal is doing well. He has earned an RP from me too recently. If you haven't checked out his masterpiece on one of the Exercises, prompts, games threads I would suggest you do.

It's a roundabout thread - take something simple and try to write it in the most roundabout way possible...

By the way, if you do decide to use a carrot or potato to remove a broken light bulb, for god sake turn off the electricity at the breaker box/fuse box. Otherwise you will have your own 'enlightening' experience. glad this worked out for you scarlet.

See, this is why next time I'm up at Asda, I'm going to buy a floor lamp for the living room. Subdued lighting, more restful...and you don't have to climb onto a chair to change the bulb.

And thereby eliminating any chance of falling on yer bum-well I suppose after a few sips you could still even fall on yer bum while turning on or off a floor lamp
