Good thing I'm only asking for one Lord a Leaping this year. And I'll pass on all the livestock, thanks ;)

Hmmm... the labor costs didn't go up, but Geese have gotten very, very pricey. Bird flu? :)

Damn sexual discrimination!

Why are lords-a-leaping earning a lesser wage than ladies dancing?

Dancing takes years of study while leaping is pretty much... well, anyone can leap. Unless perhaps they're Morris Dancers? In which case, they shouldn't be paid on general principles of Morris Dancing deserves nothing but scorn and contempt (according to Blackadder anyway).

As for passing on the livestock... EXCELLENT move since the Avian Flu is looming!

I don't know, Arienne, Iagoe might actually look good in tights!

Wish we had it hosted still (or I could find it in one of the 3B folders we have named "pictures), but somewhere I have a picture of Iagoe in his wetsuit...about as close to tights as it gets. He's not so shabby! Of course, myself, I always worry about being bitten by sharks because I definitely have something of a seal profile in my wetsuit.

It has nothing to do with profile.

Sharks bite people because we are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
