GE bulbs? I've seen some Chinese look- alikes for a buck, but never "the real thing". I picked up a couple and found their light to be that cold blue-white color.

Price (Reply to this comment)
by WilliamJones
So, once I decided to try them I picked up a 6 bulb package at our local Sam's Club. Priced at $13.86 for the package they were only slightly more than twice the price of a long life incandescent.
That's way too much.
Here in San Diego (where I'm from), these can generally be found for $1 a piece at various 99 Cents stores. I won't pay more than that, and I've even found 2 for a buck on occasion.
Regards,
William

A moment of seriousness (Reply to this comment)
by nagels
The Baltimore Sun had a full page article today about fluorescent bulbs. The quality of their light has improved in recent years.
According to the article, fluorescent bulbs will be eventually usurped by the up and coming LED lighting. These bulbs are available now but are very expensive. As with most new technology prices will come down.

Re: Three Cheers for Rudi!!! (Reply to this comment)

Aftermath...
Rudi scanned the devastation to his comment section.
Now that everyone had cleared out he was alone to take care of the the mess. It was nice and everything for all those folks to come visit... and lord knew that they were fun... but they had made such a huge mess he didn't even know where to start cleaning.
He stepped gingerly over some gooey substance that had been spilled on his kitchen floor and sighed when he saw the multitude of beer bottles and half empty cups on the table. Someone had been putting their cigarettes out in the Yucca plant.
A pair of ladies red underpants hung from the light fixture in the hall. Rudi took a moment to try and figure out who they could belong to... possibly Jam (she could be a bit of a Hell Cat when she wanted) and then realized that it was an effort in futility... could be any of them.
Some one had trotted in a Kareoke machine at 3 a.m. The girls had belted out multiple renditions of their own version of Bennie & The Jetts (changing the words to Mona & The Shleps) and Rudi knew that he would have his neighbors complaints to contend with today.
The last thing he could remember before he went to bed was a rousing group picture and three cheers for him. Then people started to slink out the door.
He heard a low snoring from behind the couch and went to investigate. There, sleeping off a ten beer drunk, lampshade on his head and blubbery form curled around the dog, was The Shmoo.
Rudi poked him with a broom handle a few times, but when he didn't move he decided to start cleaning around him...

Three Cheers for Rudi!!! (Reply to this comment)
by rkingfish
Ok everyone, gather ‘round... It’s been over a week now since we dropped-in on Rudi’s comments uninvited. While it’s been fun eating his food, raiding his liquor cabinet... (hear, hear!!!... erp.. ‘scuse me...) ..thank you, Shmoo... and smoking his fine cigars, there comes a time when our welcome has been worn...
(A scan of the quieted crowd shows the unmistakable look of reality so abhorrent to the sensibilities of the freeloading set...)
Rudi’s been such a good sport through all this... (smatterings of cheers and applause...) I propose a group hug to show our appreciation...
(The crowd slowly shuffles into position. Ample time is allowed for the ShLEps and Shmoo to ascend their step-stools for the final photo-op...)
Ok, everyone... say “cheese”...
CHEESE!!!
(The Shmoo, unaccustomed to drink and startled by the flash topples-over backward, though appears unharmed due to his compact, lardiferous stature... Several of the ShLEps can be seen wiping away a tear...)
THREE CHEERS FOR RUDI!!!!!!... Hip Hip Hoooray!!!
(The crowd gives Rudi a final hug and a pat on the back. As he walks off into the compact fluorescent sunset; arm-in-arm with the lovely Veronica, a dozen or so “Kosher for Passover”, “Rudi for President” and “Smiley-face” stickers look back from the broad shoulders of his Armani jacket...)

I hear that Rudi just put in an emergency email to Popsrocks and Patty Therre to see if the fearless Message Board moderators have some way to lock down this comment thread ...
However, my personal vierw is that this is fantastic stuff! Especially great to read after a nutty week. Thanks!

****Bee bee be beeeeep**** (FISH hears on the TV)
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! We hate to interrupt your regularly scheduled program, however there's some late breaking news in the interesting events following the Xeno Shmoo Scandal! And now...Jam Stroller...
Thanks loud generic voice announcer, HI! This is *charred and in charge* Jam Stroller reporting live from an actual lane in the Florida State Bowling Alley! Apparently at some point this afternoon, the madness from this mornings riotous events made its way into bowling alleys across the nation! There seems to be a NEW trend budding since the magical Shmoo memorabilia of yesteryear was officially BANNED in Britain today during an emergency press conference called by the queen!!!
And now, bringing you a few highlights from today's conference, Mr. Nagels Mc'Chips!
*(Spuds)*
...What the ?!!! I thought I was sports?!! What'd you say? I'm LIVE? Eh hemm...OK!
Well then, it appears instead of covering the anticipated “in depth , high points” of Idaho's annual potato throwing festival, I'll be briefly covering the low points from today’s British conference...The queens minion herself Double D Skirt Steak (who by the way looks dashing in her mini-kilt) briefly read the results of a kingdom wide pole to an anxious palace crowd as she answered the anticipated question, "SHALL WE SACK THE SHMOOS?…Results of the poll last week swept the Shmoos out of Britain and back into the Valley of the Shmoon. For the Shmoo: 3,750. Against the Shmoo: 7,552...."We dropped a brick. We pulled a boner, made a howler, a bloomer." For the benefit of true-blue Shmoo-lovers, the newspaper ran a synopsis of the unpublished part of Capp's Shmoo sequence. It also printed a perplexed farewell: "Critics have called the Shmoos 'the greatest satire since Swift's Gulliver's Travels . . .' It's odd that, though [the U.S. and Britain] share the same language, we don't share each other's jokes -TIME "....
Back to you Jam!....
*(Jam)*
Thanks SpudMash !
In response to this appalling announcement, MILLIONS of desperate (living and remaining) Shmoo fans have taken to the bowling lanes and are grabbing pins in utter CHAOS!!!
My god! They're shoving them in their coats, some even in their pants! Yeeeowww! SH*&**! Da^%! Some guy just about "bowled" me over trying to grab the last few pins!!!
Apparently there's ALSO been some (ducking as pin flies overhead -----whhhhhooooooshhhhh) ...Apparently there's also been some mention of "the Xeno" making a live public announcement, to rebut and protest the lame attempts of fans punning "Shmoos" through crude usage of bowling pins...We're hoping to gain exclusive footage of these upcoming events!!!!
JamOut (thank you Squid!!)

Martha, these skirt steaks are the perfect solution for short...
(click...)
...This is BBC America... In other news, it seems the Shmoo has become the biggest craze since bangers ‘n mashed among metal-heads and young, upwardly mobile British trend-setters. Shmoo clubs are all the rage with sailors, and reports of Shmoo-shaped potatoes and eggs from local farmers...
(What the &*%$ is a Shmoo?... click...)

...clap-on - clap-off... the clapper!

Welcome back Jam Stroller. I'm not quite sure what took you so long but I have to say, I greatly admire the self confidence you must have to wear your hair like that.
My cue card is telling me that the Producers would like you to find something to put on. Tattered fabric and charred bits of naked flesh are not appropriate for some of our younger viewers... not even if if it is labelled as art.

Fishy said: "I can't believe OUR Rudi would ever do such a thing. Oyvey!"
Oh, he did it alright. It's all right there in paragraph #7, in the "Suspend Disbelief - The Example" section.
Also, has anyone seen JamRachaelStrollerGal lately? Seems like I haven't seen her all week! Is it just my imagination or do I smell something burning? Did Jam's review say how the stroller holds up to being in a burning car trunk? No, I don't believe she mentioned that. And I was good enough to give her a VH anyway! I might just have to change my rating. Need to maintain my standards, right? Hmmmph!

"Does he wear a suit at work? (judging from his profile page pic, it must be a doozy). If he does, does he always have lard stains on his tie?
He wears his "BLOO ZOOT SOOT" and porkskin hat. No stains, just shmooze on his chin.
"Just how does he manage a microphone, suffering as he does with the dreaded shortness of arms? "
We wire him
"Do they pay him in Canadian dollars, Euros or Drachmas?"

How nice of Shmoo MacLardy to put you in the trunk of a burning car...
With co-anchors like that, who needs enemies?
Does he wear a suit at work? (judging from his profile page pic, it must be a doozy). If he does, does he always have lard stains on his tie?
Just how does he manage a microphone, suffering as he does with the dreaded shortness of arms?
Do they pay him in Canadian dollars, Euros or Drachmas?
Never mind... I've set the Shmoo trap out back and baited it with a block of lard, some lardy-tarts, and a few marshmallow peeps. I'll ask him when I hear the gate snap shut...
