I need it.

My co-worker just got a communist pig. A gift from China.

I love it.

It must be mine.

Oh god it must be mine.

    I don’t have a communist pig, but someone brought me a communist hat from China (like the one the pig has, but real sized).
    What am I supposed to do with it? Wear it in sunny days?

  2. Ms. Bizarro:

    I thought imperialists were supposed to be the pigs…

  3. Pedro:

    Well, Ms. Bizarro, I haven’t though on that until you mention it, but now it looks to me that China have embraced the image of the communist that Orwell described in Animal Farm… communist pigs.

    certainly interesting.

    apart from that. It’s really cool, you should totally get it.

    I’m thinking that is actually a picture of Annie.

    While I didn’t know she was a communist pig, I did know that she has latey taken to some extrodinary means to stay warm indoors. All makes sense.

    I used to have a lighter that had a picture of mao on it and played the chinese national anthem when you popped it open and lighted it. that was rad. then some douche dropped it in a glass of beer to see what would happen (duh, I wonder) and it broke (shocker). I still mourn the loss.

    Alice: My guess is that you wear it to show that you are Communist, rain or shine?

    Ms. Biz: I thought male chauvinists were supposed to be pigs.

    Pedro: I can’t get it, unless I steal it. It belongs to my co-worker. *SOB* I have Mr. Testis and Wally the Wombat to comfort me.

    Jon: I think if I were a farm animal, I would most definitely be a pig.

    Aura: I have the same lighter that my friend got from China for me, and the song broke and it no longer lights, which is annoying. You know you can get that all in Chinatown. I will get you one when I’m down there.

  7. Ms. Bizarro:

    I forgot about the Orwellian reference, Pedro. Very interesting. Apparently pigs can be many things, as can Commies.

    you get me the best presents. I’ve read bigfoot like 10 times since tuesday, and I think I’m in love…with bigfoot? the author? I don’t know.

  9. Aura:

    I’m pretty sure I won’t fall in love with mao, though

  10. Bianca Reagan:

    That’s so cute!
