| BarkingUnicorn Milking maids get only minimum wage? |
||
| Demetrius BarkingUnicorn: Milking maids get only minimum wage? Depends on what they're milking and what they look like. That number could go sky high. |

| HotWingAgenda
I had a totally different scenario in mind for the maids-a-milkin' and the ladies dancin'. Similar price I guess, maybe even cheaper. |

Banal, clever when it came out in the sixties, but wretchedly trite by now. |

They're paying way too much for some of those things. I'm not paying 100 bucks for a french hen. |

8 for $58 or 1 for $7.25? Cheapest.fad.ever |
||
| robohobo I've already spent more than that for Christmas already, and I haven't bought any of that shiatt. |

''Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie." There are no "five golden rings." Song is a lie. |

I do not believe they're factoring in the cost of getting real lords-a-leaping, and using faux leaping lords ruins the entire effect. Of course, inflationary pressures have kept lords-a-leaping out of the comfortable price range of ordinary folk, but you shouldn't shirk on quality when it comes to these things I say. /I blame Obama for not developing lords-a-leaping supplies over here. |

Fiiiiiiiiiiive golden riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiings |

| gravebayne2
i've watched enough 80's movies to know you could probably head to your local 'urban' area and get a much cheaper rate on all that crap. May not be as fancy, but hey, It's christmas! |

| doglover AverageAmericanGuy: thisiszombocom: Fiiiiiiiiiiive golden riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiings Five gold rings, actually. Nice try not smart guy. 5 Golden Rings refers to the first Five Books of the Old Testament, the "Pentateuch", which gives the history of man's fall from grace. Also, it's easier to sing. |

Idiots....supply and demand. With this economy those maids that are milking will come practically free! But $1000 swans? I am in the wrong business. |

Teknowaffle: fark that, how much does the crap that gold-digger asks for in "Santa Baby" cost? Real sable coat = $2000 54 light blue convertible = varies a lot, around $20,000 probably Low-end yacht = around $300,000 Platinum mine = I found a small one on sale for $250,000 Duplex in LA = Let's say around $600,000 average Tiffany's christmas ornaments = $50-150 each, so let's say $2000 to fill a tree A ring = we'll go cheap here, $100 For a grand total of $1,174,100 to please Earth Kitt this Christmas. |

Not to mention the cost of having to clean up all that bird shiat. |

Song is a lie. Both 7 and 9 contain 5. The song does not state you have to own all rings of a golden subtype, just 5, and in no place does it state that they even have to be similar--Wormtongue. |

HotWingAgenda: You can pick up a canary for $30. Where? I want a canary but they go for about $150 around here. Big demand for them at the coal mine I guess. |

Tuborg is Danish, it's "two-four". Somehow I missed the packs of smokes though. I must have quit so hard I don't even acknowledge their existence. |
