Korinthenkacker (raisin shitter) But Cleopatra was blond, not dark-haired!
Haarspalter (hair splitter) That's a porpoise, not a dolphin!
Erbsenzähler (pea counter) We have to take the cheaper proposal! $3000015 is more expensive than $2999997 even if the transport fees for the latter are $17 higher!

I found my little MP3 player-- lost since last winter ^{_{(no, NOT an i-pod.  Loathe "the apple way", and I'm not interested in DRM on my music-- a requirement with all i-pods, as far as I can find out)}}

And the battery was at 85%-- pretty darn good, for 4 months just lying there...

You are lucky to have an mp3 player. We had to use portable grammophones and were seen as elitist by our neighbours that had to be content with Edison phonographs.

[Pachyderm]

Edison phonographs? Luxury! Who would have thought, thirty years ago, we would be sitting here discussing Edison phonographs? We had to 'ave a fully trained opera singer followin' us around whenever we wanted to listen to music.

[Swatopluk]

Fully trained opera singer? We would have been happy to being able to hire Florence Foster Jenkins' less talented godchild.

You were lucky to have live vocal music! We had to make do with guimbardes. That we made ourselves out've bits leftover from the Spam cans.

Spam? With accompanying Viking Chorus? How do you think we would have been able to pay the import fees for the former.
And the Vikings tended to raid us at least twice a day?

To have any senses at all was to be considered a luxury in the old days. Today it is the deafult again to be completely senseless while climing to have at least 7 of them.
