What does one Lord leaping cost?

These people have never shopped for turtle doves or swans a swimming at their local Sams or CostCo. Does Amazon carry Lords A Leaping?

Sure, it will cost 100K if you use 2011 money while shopping like its 1954.

Last year I got bored and decided to see what the cost of all the shiat in Santa Baby would be. It came out to around 45 million bucks

I'm particularly interested in and taking applications for the maids-a-milking. I am prepared to offer a little better than minimum wage.
 
2011-11-29 05:30:14 AM
Where'd they pick up the maids a milking? At 8 for less than $60 total, I'm guessing the alley behind the 7-11.

$6,294.03 for nine ladies dancing? I don't know what to say about this bit.

Each year when that story runs, I always wonder if it calculates the cost of just the 12th day or all 12 days together, which would be 12 partridges & pear trees, 22 turtledoves, 30 french hens, 36 calling birds, 40 gold rings, 42 laying geese, 42 swans, 40 milkmaids, 36 dancing girls, 30 lords, 22 pipers and 12 drummers.

You were bored for the whole year? It took you all year to make those calculations?

Those 9 ladies dancing must be doing it for singles then.

Always thought He only came in a "jumpin'" model when purchased in a singular form.

You haven't be out to a decent night club lately have you? Save some money and try the rufies instead.

We have a way to ignore irritating posters here on Fark, how about a way to ignore posts from irritating sites like Consumerist?

these are gifts, not temps you send home early. connections with human traffickers are key to fulfill this shopping list. coupons, too.

Ah, so they're paying someone else for the dancing ladies ... and not Scale.

I can understand the dollars, but who tips with pennies for that extra 3 cents?

Looks like they're getting warmed up for the yearly "Santa travels faster than light" pap.

The only recycled news story I hate more is the "this year's freshman class has never seen a VCR" list that dumb college puts out.
 
2011-11-29 07:32:05 AM
Can't they at least wait until December before they start with the standard Christmas puff pieces?

someone needs to update this song to have more relevant items.

Maybe a hipster version with all those cool apple gadgets...

You really can't make a quality jingle to "three bands you've never heard of because they're underground", "six artsy black rimmed glasses", "four olive drab military surplus jackets", "five shoulder satchels"

Can't decide if this one annoys me more, or "March Madness causes eleventy billion dollars in lost productivity"..

You want maids a'milking?
You want ladies dancing?
Hell, I can get you maids a'milking by 3 o'clock this afternoon!!!

Why are those swans so freakin' expensive ($6300)? What if they substituted free-range turkeys. They'd save at least forty bucks.
 
2011-11-29 09:12:33 AM
1990-$16k
2000-$60k
2012-$100k

Well, at least higher than inflation.

Umm...maybe try scrolling down really fast...? Or is it a compulsion to click every link?

The meat around a pig's ass is still pork, son. Sometimes we gotta see things. Things we don't like.

Because you need cash to pay for the lap dance, I didn't think the two debris ridden chicklets or the wadded up reciept would pass muster.

I don't know bruh, I think a platinum mine is worth a hell of a lot more than that...

Just one question. Who gives a fark? And why don't you cover REAL news? OK, two questions, then.
