I have a pig that can talk.

I have a stuffed toy pig that can talk. He's called Raivo, and he was a gift from a friend. When you squeeze him he says something which isn't quite clear to decipher. Amongst my friends there are two major schools of thought as to what the pig is saying. School number one hears the pig say (in Finnish) "Go away!", whereas school number two thinks he's saying (In Finnish) "I'm a dog!". People in the first school argument that it would be ridiculous for a pig to claim he's a dog, whereas those in the second school point out that what the pig is saying sounds a bit longer than "Go away!". For some reason the schools are roughly divided by gender lines: school number one is mostly males (including me), whereas school number two has a female majority. There are exceptions to the rule, though. Also, there are some people who claim the pig is saying neither "Go away!" nor "I'm a dog!", but rather something else. These people may be quite right, since the pig was bought in Estonia, and it's quite likely he's actually speaking Estonian. A few folks also think he's merely oinking.

Do you have objects that divide the opinion of your friends?

Is Raivo Finnish for Ralph? In which case it's clearly I'm a dog.

a friend of mine had a talking Babe. ostensibly it said "I'm just a pig on a mission" when you squeezed its ear, but it sounded more like "I'm just a pig, I know nothing."

I have a stuffed Kenny doll that no one can work out what he says (tho well, obv thats kinda the idea) but everyone's had a crack at guessing. Closest we've come so far is him saying in mumblykennyspeak "you're a dick if you can understand this" (seriously!).

Did I ever show you the Kenny doll Jim?

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 20 April 2005 05:04 (twenty years ago)

yes you did!

Raivo is an Estonian name, since the pig was Estonian my friend decided to name it that. In Finnish the word "raivo" means "rage", btw.

Trayce, I love to hear I'm not the only one who's faced the problem of mumbling toy animals.

I want this pig to be saying it's a dog because THAT IS COMEDY GOLD.

six years pass...

Something has happened to this pig at some point, and I don't know where it is anymore. :(

My mom bought a stuffed bear at a thrift shop for my daughter. It says something like "[garbled] welcomes you to a level where you'll never feel blue!" I should pay it here and see if you guys can make any sense of it.

At home we've got a dog in a Christmas hat who sings 'Only You', which doesn't really make sense thematically. Also we've got a talking bear who reads a weird Christmas story with no real moral or outcome in a slightly creepy deep woman's voice about 'a choild just like you who wishes for a white teddy at Chreesmas'. Everyone in our family agrees it's properly disturbing.
