my first LED CORN BULB arrived in the mail today. it's a 9 watt bulb and i paid about $2.50 for the little angel. i was pretty excited when it arrived and was expecting great things when i screwed it in and turned it on. lunch bag let down, it was not as bright as the 5 watt LED bulb that i received last week. after checking on line it became apparent that these corn type bulbs have plenty of detractors. unfortunately i have a few more on their way. luckily i didn't go crazy and buy any of the 10 packs on ebay. although the corn bulbs aren't great, i did get more that $2.50 worth of amusement out of the adventure. i'm looking forward to receiving the 3 watt bulbs. if they provide enough light to prevent me from tripping over stuff in the dark i'll be happy.
i've almost finished the deadwood marathon and have had one of the great lines from steve the drunk stuck in my head for the past week or so. can anyone guess which line is stuck in my head?
caution, this video my offend sensitive viewers. (but you're at the wrong fucking blog if you're sensitive)
i love you sons of bitches. (and don't buy any fucking corn hole bulbs)

That corn bulb is totally unlike any energy saving light bulb I've seen. Maybe it saves energy by producing less light. Did people really say "fuck" and "fucking" so much in the Old West? Those words sound very modern from the lips of American. "Nigger" is a whole lot more believable.
I'll stick to making my own led lights.
FOR LED LIGHTS THAT WORK ON 12 VOLTS DC.
gb - i'm not sure about the usage of fuck in the old west but you've given me something to look into.
bbc - when you were a boy in the old west, how common was the word fuck?
i just received another light bulb in the mail but it's a 220V bulb that i bought by mistake. the son of a bitch is very dull. live and learn.
Fuck was a very common word in the old west, and still is around here in my circles.
Put the 220 bulb by your dryer and wire it to that circuit.
I only have one light in here that needs the grid, the others are 12 volt lights.
What we really need is a three watt fridge.
Wow! Anything I add is not gonna come off sounding intelligent, sir.
I use 5 watt LED- happy.
Nice video. ;P
king - i suspect it would cheaper to buy a new light bulb than wire by the dryer. safer too.
dixie - you're not really in the land of rocket scientists and brain surgeons here.
Shoot, send it to me, I'll wire it to my 220.
I can make a rocket motor but once ya light it up up ya can't turn the sum bitch off until it runs out of fuel.
the postage would probably be 3x what i paid for the bulb.
So what? Don't be such a cheap bastard.
Yeah.
yes, i would love to pack a light bulb in some protective shell and stand in line at the post office.
maybe i should just stick my finger in the lamp socket to make sure there's enough current before giving up.
with a regular bulb or cfl bulb almost no light shines on the ceiling above the tiffany lamp but with a LED corn bulb there's a lot of shit shining on the ceiling.
Arrrggh fer fooks sweet sake, Pilgrim, just get one of these.
Corn bulb? You can buy that where you get your bulk tea. You buy lot stuff there, quick, yes?
You should try returning the corn bulb there...
Yesterday a couple of the local bottom feeders told me that prices in the metals market has dropped a lot so it is harder for them to make a few bucks.
But they will still take my stuff away, I bought them a beer just to help them along, it is nice to have bottom feeders around when you need them.
thims - you have to factor in our sinking dollar. we're down below 80 cents right now. factor in foreign exchange and the ass fucking the bank cards give on currency exchange and you can add about 25% to the cost.
global currency wars are affecting my knick knack purchases.
It's a short trip to the Olympic Peninsula...
Make your shopping list, get packed, rent a luxury van, visit a natural treasure, and get you some good ol' imported-to-America schwaggery to take back to EEAsia with you.
Your wife will be thrilled at the opportunity to visit civilization.
Or hell, just hire the old man to make a haul to Canandia! He's a pro.
Maybe he could bring Harry along to tour Vancouver's spotlessly clean streets.
I can't go to Canada right now, saving my money to go to Texas. But Victoria has some decent eye candy on most corners every evening.
fuck! i'm going to have to bite the bullet and buy my drone with 79 cent canadian dollars.
(do you think NSA has figured out that LED bulbs are latent explosive devices?)
They are? Tell me how.
By the way - Steve the drunk was interesting. Forgot to mention that about 16 comments earlier.
Duly noted on the corn hole bulbs. Man oh man I need to have a Deadwood marathon. Seeing that clip made me remember how great that show was. I'm not sure what line Steve the drunk uttered that got stuck in your head but I believe there might have a been a fuck or two involved. Take care BP.
I asked my Amish grandfather if they used the word "fuck" a lot back in the day.
He said "No, we said fuckith."
As in:
"Fuckith this shit, I'm going home!"
bbc - you'd never make it as a spy.
dixie - yes, steve is a multi-faceted character.
mr shife - i think 2 or 3 deadwood marathons would be a good idea.
tex - fuckith me!
