I figured it was about time to have a little contest here at Taboo Island. Wanna play?

You could be the winner and proud owner of one of Squid's squll pendants in the "Mystic Imperial Potentate" version.

This ghostly shriner has a weathered fez with real velvet and tattered tassel, as well as a blood shot eyeball made of coral. Comes on an adjustable cotton cord for your neck enjoyment. The eyeball is attached to the tassel and bounces around freely, and gets sucked back into the skull when you pull the tassel.

Be the first one on your block to wear a squll before these go on sale to the public!

Rules are simple:

  • First person to guess the correct answer to the question below wins.
  • One guess per person.
  • Place your guess as a reply to this post.
  • Contest ends Sunday 6/7 at 9pm Taboo Island Time (Hawaii).
  • Price Is Right rule is in effect - You must be closest without going over.
  • Squid can't play.

Now, the question:
The 3/8" coral beads that the natives used here for the eyeball of this pendant came 30 beads on a string. What was the cost (no tax) of one string of these coral beads?

Contest starts now!!!

Damnit, Bamboo Ben beat me! :D I was also going to say one fish. Hmmm, but now that I think about it, I bet those trinkets were worth a lot more to the natives. How about one human being?
