Hey, there's a new competitor to Ask Metafilter that looks like it might be good.

My guess is rather than break the unwritten rule of posting pics on FilterStan, it was easier to do it via Flickr. Makes sense to me.

Maybe he had already used up his one question per week here.

Looks like Matt is the top poster there. Being the top poster consists of posting two entries. This is good for Ask MeFi questions where a picture is worth a thosand words.

So how many mathowies DOES it take to change a light bulb?

Apparently Pro Ass Flicker was a pron rag in the '80s. (federal report, no images, but prolly NSFW anyway)

Using your hands, put a little upward pressure on the glass dome, and rotate it counterclockwise

Good thing delfuego specifically instructed Matt to use his hands, otherwise he might have tried to unscrew the glass dome with his butt, or his knees, or something.

Wait... so you're saying I've been doing it wrong all this time?!

This is an easy question to ask in words as long as you know that those lights are called boob lights.

I wouldn't worry about the competition. Matt asks if we can get help from random strangers. Only someone like matt who has a huge name in the community would get that type of response. So matt should have asked, "can I get help from random strangers".

Answer: yes.

Joe Normal? No.
