wtf

Um...please correct me if I'm wrong, but that appears to be an incandescent replacement bulb. Maybe such things are "normal" on the other side of Washington, but we true left coasters consider such behavior so dangerously outside the realm of accepted norms that I have no other choice than to label you an eccentric weirdo.

Freak.

A Polite Correction

Thank you for the opportunity to illuminate the situation. It is good you used the word, "appears" since that is exactly what it is-- it appears to be an incandescent bulb but in fact is a normal, everyday light bulb, like the kind found in almost every private dwelling in this great land. It just looks like the sort of outdated bulb you refer to due to the way the light hits it, creating the illusion of being other than what it is. Hence, I am not eccentric, a weirdo, or a freak. I appreciate this chance to clear the air here.

and thank you...
