Size

[lynxreign]

I finally got around to looking it up.

Trinidad: 1864 sq. mi.
Tobago: 116 sq. mi.

Massachusetts: 7838 sq. mi.
New Jersey: 7419 sq. mi.
Delaware: 1955 sq. mi.
Rhode Island: 1045 sq. mi.

Apparently Trinidad is MUCH smaller than NJ or MA. I'd previously thought it around the same size.

I had no idea MA was bigger than NJ! Huh.

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

Me either!

Put a cent in yuh left pocket,
Five cent in yuh right,
Ten cent is yuh back pocket safely out of sight,
In front, under yuh belt put a dollar.
Now yuh ready to learn I explained to her.
cent, five cent, ten cent, dollar! (repeat) hahaha

And yes, Trinidad is tiny. I never thought it was a big as NJ. I'm actually surprised that it's so close to RI.

In front, under yuh belt put a dollar.

Is this some kind of stripper thing?

[urnesha.livejournal.com]

hee. no. the money is simply to diret you where to move your hips. So when he sings cent, 5 cent, 10 cent, dollar you move left, right, back, front. The second verse speeds up the motion then the third verse says:

"Forget all the small chnage
Give me big money wine!
Dollar, dollar, dollar, dollar!"

Which of course results in some serious hip trusting action.

Are you trying to distract him even worse than usual????

[urnesha.livejournal.com]

He asked for an explaination! :D

[joncwriter.livejournal.com]

So basically this song is a version of the Time Warp? ;)

[urnesha.livejournal.com]

???

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

Nope, you move your hips in ascending order of currency value.

[head58.livejournal.com]

Do you move your hips more for a dollar than for a nickle? Because I know these hips don't really swing until I've got me a Lincoln.

[joncwriter.livejournal.com]

I just pictured you saying that in rap form, surrounded by babes n' bling. *shudder*

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

Remember, this is in TT (Trinidadian currency)
Cent = 1/6 cents
5 cent = 5/6 cents
10 cent = 1 2/3 cents
Dollar = 16 2/3 cents

(actually less right now as $1 = TT6.30)

[urnesha.livejournal.com]

Hey! In trinidad a dollar is a dollar okay!

And really? it's back up to $6.30? I don't understand what the hell is going on with teh Trinidad economy. With the current price of oil the exchange rate would have been dropping not rising! It was $6.07 a few months ago.

[head58.livejournal.com]

I would not move my hips at all for those rates. That's outrageous! They should charge more. No wonder they're a third world country. I'm seeing this as an economic bootstrap project - if the strippers and whores start moving to the US dollar, the rest of the economy will follow.

I know, I didn't think Trinidad was quite so small!

Now, gimmie the big money!

[urnesha.livejournal.com]

Now, gimmie the big money!

...

So many answers

[emmalyon.livejournal.com]

So Tobago is maybe the size of a couple counties, something like that?

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

Likely, Morris, Passaic Bergen. I'll look later when I have time.

[joncwriter.livejournal.com]

MA may be 7838 square miles, but Our Man Mitt only cares about the eastern third of it. [/snark]

[sleeping-dragon.livejournal.com]

As of today, 152 lbs. How's your weight loss quest going?

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

Um... about as well as the quest for the grail?

[sleeping-dragon.livejournal.com]

That well, huh? :(

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

Maybe not quite that well. More like the search for Bin Laden

[sleeping-dragon.livejournal.com]

It can't possibly be THAT hopeless.
