Remy: Missing You - The Incandescent Light Bulb Song

I'm still steamed at this...I'll go to candles once my bulbs run out, those mercury-laced POS can get stuck up the nearest Dem's butt!

LadyVirginia:
Funny.  He also has a good lampooning lawyers that makes me laugh every time I watch it.

I hate to be pushed back to the days of the pioneers but I'm thinking about investing in some good old fashioned oil lamps.

Libertas:
I got a case of those 100 hour candles, maybe I outta think about lamps too...

LadyVirginia:
In searching for alternatives I came across this site:

Olive Oil Lamp for Emergencies
(warning: looks like a lefty site but I thought it was interesting and she references a book called I Didn’t Know That Olive Oil Would Burn! from Lehman's (which also covers burning other oils).  They also carry all the stuff to make your own olive oil lamps.

Pandora:
Oh, olive oil definitely does burn, as does vegetable oil.  Fill a container with some water, add a layer of oil and a floaty plastic piece to hold the wick and, baby, you got lamp light.
