From the cheap version:

THREE FRENCH HENS

French Connection scent provides the Continental element and we'll chuck some L-plate hen night confetti into the mix for the bird part. Total: £11.20 + £1.48 = £12.68


From the expensive version:

THREE FRENCH HENS

There are four breeds of French hens - Faverolle, La Fleche, Crevecoeurs and Maran. But it might be hard to get them shipped over from their native France so why not plump for one from Tesco - £2.99 for a small bird. Total: £8.97


So... the expensive version is cheaper than the cheap version?

Also, the entire thing is absolute crap. I always thought the original idea was cute - and it's been done to death - but this version is CRAP.

I think the most interesting part is the picture of Lucy Pinder and Michelle Marsh.

I thought each day you get everything again. like on the third day you get three french hens, two turtle doves and a partidge in a pear tree. Then on the 4th day you get all that stuff PLUS the four calling birds etc. So that would make this a LOT more expensive.

Like I said last time this was posted.
Any chick that would want all these things comes with too much baggage to be worth it.

Maybe Drew didn't greenlight it but one of the other mods did.

The nine ladies dancing was utter fail. I can get that for under 10 dollars. A common misconception in a nudie bar, is that you have to tip every girl that gyrates in front of you. This is simply not the case. If they have a blank stare in their eyes, don't properly dance to the beat or try to talk to me in any way, they get nothing.

 
uncdwm 2008-12-20 03:12:44 PM  
Didn't read the list but if you were going to buy all of those things why would you pay full retail and why wouldn't you get a bulk discount?

/i f'ing hate that song and the need that all radio dj's feel to do a spoof with it

I don't care if I get mod'd for this, but it was funny when someone sent it to me, but it was a song of things the brothers took from me:

-New car without the keys.
-2 hundred dollars
-3 watermelons
-4 ounce of ganja
-5 golden chains
-6 pack of Ripple
-My Boise home stereo
-An 8 piece bucket of chicken
-A 9mm
-Size 10 Adidas
-All my DvDs
-My 25 inch TV

Didn't even read the article.

Yep, they've got three things in Boise: Blue Turf, Potatoes, and high quality sound technicians.

Since the article was crap, I'd like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that the 12 days of Christmas START on December 25. So all of you people who take down your Christmas decorations on December 26, YOU'RE DOING THAT WRONG.

I personally would like the Bob and Doug McKenzie 12 Days of Christmas gifts. I could actually use a golden touque and a beer.

They don't cost anything. They are gifts. Santa brings them. Same as last year. Oh, you didn't get yours?

So you have actually read/sung the song too I see? localroger: Since the article was crap, I'd like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that the 12 days of Christmas START on December 25. So all of you people who take down your Christmas decorations on December 26, YOU'RE DOING THAT WRONG.

Why'd I even click on that? I should've known better. It's worse then those spam e-mails my family sends me that they think are funny/cute. Daily Star can suck it.

There used to be a Christmas song on the local radio station here, that was all about drinking...it was actually funny, but I haven't been able to find it since the station went off the air, I didn't think it was specific to that station and kind of expected it to be somewhere online, but no luck...does anyone know what song I'm talking about?

THIS

Somebody told me a few days ago that they were celebrating day 4 or 5 or something of the twelve days of Christmas.


I wanted to hit them on their head.

Cthulhain 2008-12-20 06:28:38 PM  
A couple of airbrushed 40-year-olds dressed like Santa's little helper is NSFW these days? Ok, so I'd probably still hit it even without the airbrushing. But come on, I was expecting something more in my stocking, know what I mean? Wink wink, nudge nudge! I mean really, they're not even locked in a steamy lesbian embrace or anything! Night elves dancing in IF is sexier than this. Might as well be Ms. Claus up there in a red lace nightie doing the chicken dance for all the effect it had on Cthulhain Jr. here.

/damn I need to lay off the pain meds for a while

I use a different website for my annual day-before-Christmas-Break Economics lesson on inflation. I think it's much more interesting since it's based on actual categories of the economy.

simpsonfan 2008-12-20 10:39:16 PM  
I wonder how much it would be for:

A Japanese transistor radio (Nakashuma, the discontinued Mark IV, leatherette case with holes in it so you can listen right through the case, and a wire with a thing on one end you stick in your ear, and a thing on the other end you can't stick anywhere because it's bent)
Green polkaka dot pajamas
A Calendar book with the name of my insurance manon it
A simulated aligator wallet
A statue of a lady with a clock where her stomach ought to be
A hammered aluminum nutcracker
A pink satin pillow that says 'San Diego' with fringe all around it
An indoor plastic birdbath
A pair of teakwood shower clogs
A chromium combination manicure scissors and cigarette lighter
An automatic vegetable slicer that works when you see it on television, but not when you get it home.

Many, many years ago, I saw a film with the actual song re-enacted. Total chaos by the end, birds flying around everywhere, animals, people falling over each other, etc. I'd like to see that one again.

I was going to say french toast, turtlenecks and beer isn't all that expensive.
