Where is there in Downtown Vancouver to get a cheap (<$500) interim ring, for engagement purposes.

Serious question.

Best bet would be to try a pawn shop, they have the best deals if you know what you're looking for.

hah, I can see that going down well.

BTW in my world $500 is not cheap. A hula hoop is cheap, or a bit of copper piping. $500 is not

Copper piping? Not just a bucket out the back yard to catch the rain?

How about a nice piece of pie instead of an interim ring? Nothing says "Marry me, woncha" like a piece of pie. With icecream.

She's got gestational diabetes. That means she can't eat said pie and I'd have to have it all myself.

Wait a minute..... that's brilliant!!

Porn shops? The one I walk past on the way into work sells fleshlights and the only rings they have are cock ones.

Ohh wait....P-A-W-N....

Wiat a minute... gestation? engagement ring?

Take one shotgun. Saw a small piece off the end of the barrel... there's the ring you need!

(Congrats, on both fronts!)
