Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Hil, do you have a potato or other veggie/fruit with a similar texture?
If so: make sure the light is turned off, obviously. Cut the potato/whatever in half. Stick the cut part of the potato (not the peel side, I mean) firmly against the metal base. You should be able to use the tater for leverage to unscrew it.
Clearly Suzi and I know how to GET SHIT DONE, yo.
Turn it off and use a potato to get the broken end out.
As does Strix!
Team Potato #3!
Hmm. I just got back from vacation, so no potatoes here. And whatever I do will have to wait until morning, because if I turn off the fixture, then there's not enough light to see what I'm doing.
Also, shouldn't light bulbs be made better than that? It took almost no pressure at all for the bulb part to come off.
Tater tater tater, WOO!
Imagine that like a cheer.
Well, you *can* leave the light on, it's just safer to turn it off.
Love the potato x-post.
curly parsley is decor not flavor
Strongly disagree. Curly parsley tastes better to me. YPMV
I picked up my butcher CSA package yesterday, so I think tonight will be whatever steak I got, with fennel and leeks because I know I have those lying around.
I would turn off the light and power if you can, and use pliers to grab the metal rim of the bulb and unscrew from there.
