LAST EDITED ON Jan-30-09 AT 02:16PM (MST)[p]That doesn't look too bad Steve - but there is a definite reason why the word "PIG" has so many derrogatory connotations. Take it for what it is - it is a Pig - but a big one with really long tusks! Besides with a little creativity it can become one of your prize posessions.
Here are some suggestions -
Put it in the same room that your Mother-in-law sleeps in when she comes over. Install some lights behind the eyes that glow in the dark. You can say that it is like a night lite that helps her get to sleep and that you did it especially for her because you care about her so much.
Spruce it up at Halloween time - rig up some orange and black lights and make the kids reach in the mouth to grab the candy.
Take it to work and put a plaque on it that says "My Last Boss" - I'll bet your current boss will get a real kick out of it.
Mount it up above the fridge and put an electronic squealer in it, that way every time the fridge door opens, it squeals!
Put it in the bathroon - open up the jaws and use the tusks to hold the TP.
Put it on the dining room table, invite some folks over that you don't really like, place it near you and pet it during dinner, referring to it as precious. Everyonce in a while, bend down and kiss it's nose and say in baby talk "Ohhh you taste soo good, yes you do... ahhh yes you doooo!!"
Just a couple of ideas to kick around.
