Shouldn't it be "light-bulb"?

Well, gee Arion, you made me laugh! Very funny!

But if you drop the light bulb during discussion, don't use vulgarity because the post will be deleted.  You can say such terms as:
A
S
S
Flakes!!

But when you read it later it will say a@@ flakes!!

I think they even programed in for any number of #@%#%, simple non vulgar words.  For instance:

%#@%#^ lightbulb will become, "stupid lightbulb".  Or:

I'm so p'd!!  The stupid lightbulb landed on my a@@!!  It burns like Hagee's hell.

Musicman you are pushing the limits!! You are always doing that! But don't worry you won't hear ME complain about any bad language or ... anything

Nice for a chuckle, though.
