12 Days of Christmas – New Babbage style

So what would they be?

The fifth day, of course, would be, “Fiiiiiiiive… braaaass… coooooogs!”

But what about the other days?  How many scientists plotting?  How many engineers bashing?  And what replaces the partridge in the pear tree?

Let’s have some fun!

    So should the First day be “A Burnt Caledonian Tree”?

    • Cyan Rayna Cyan Rayna December 28, 2011

      Actually I think I got a better one “Avariel’s sad little Useless Tree”

    • Jedburgh30 Dagger Jedburgh30 Dagger December 28, 2011

      wouldn’t that be 4 urchins stealing?

      • Cyan Rayna Cyan Rayna December 28, 2011

        No that’s the job of the other urchins who aren’t singing… I mean…

          four urchins singing…. an another four using the distraction ter pick pockets….

    • Cyan Rayna Cyan Rayna December 28, 2011

      It should really be six urchins singing because it makes the song sound weird at four, but then you can have seven scamps a stealin ;3

    A few of the others’ ideas plus some of my own yields: 

    On the 12th day of Christmas, in Babbage did I see…

    Twelve builds exploding 

    Eleven angry kraken 

    Ten pirates smuggling

    Nine drunkards fighting

    Eight crates of absinthe

    Seven scamps-a-stealin’

    Six vicious trolleys

    Fiiiiiive… goggles… braaaaaass!

    Four insane inventions

    Three tourists eaten

    Two wiggyfish

    and A deadly mechanical tree

    I suppose the drunkards wouldn’t be fighting if there were nine crates of absinthe. And yet, the wiggyfish were happy to go halfsies on a tourist. Humans can learn so much from nature.

    • FI-IVE CLOUDS OF SOOT!
    • Four sentient trolleys
    • Three air ships
