It will sing to you and be your friend. :approve:
 
Go ask MoonBear if MoonBear says YES.
 
Moonbear, do you want a Teddy Ruxpin? He sings beautiful songs and you can chage his clothes. :smile:
 
Oh, No! This is going to turn into another kind of endless Disney thread type thing.
 
I'm just excited because I installed my new soundcard and can finally listen to music on my computer again! Also, with my new headphones it's awesome! Now I need to worry about not losing my hearing...hmm

Somebody start sending me random links of stuff that has music! Just because I can listen to it now!L:JKWQLJKEL:!

The spawn couldn't be all evil if it killed a Teddy Ruxpin. That one ranks right up there with Elmo.

I have been traumatized since the untimely demise of the 2nd Teddy. I'm getting a new one all for myself. :devil:

Teddy has been killed, we can rebuild him...stronger, faster...we have the technology. I'd buy you one, but then I'm reminded of that pole on the wage thread, and i think you should buy me one!

Did you read the quote from the borg link?

The two halves of the skull itself were heat-bonded together, but a few good whacks with the end of a screwdriver cracked the seam right open. I then carefully separated the two halves to get at the workings inside without allowing any mechanisms to spring apart before I got a good look at them.

lol~...hey why is my warning level going sky high?

Yes, he showed great care for Teddy, and he fixed him! :!) I operated on Teddy for days, removing crusty bits of sandwich. I did get him working for a bit, but alas... :cry: :cry: :cry:

Hmmm, what? o:)

If another Ruxpin does come your way, just build a plexiglass cage to keep him in. Dont forget about airholes to let the fella breath! That way any spawns will have to try and stab him with knitting needles to snuff out his endless ruxspeak. Assuming you don't keep a big supply of knitting needles, you'ld be all set!

I got a Teddy Roxpin as a gift when I was like four, but didn't like it because they were trying to take away my old teddy bear, which I named James, away from me! Teddy Roxpin tried to kill my friend!
