  1. Does Equestria have "Earth Pony History Month"

    Friday, 27-Jan-12 12:01:08 UTC from web
    1. @ceruleanspark They have "Winter Wrap-Up" to celebrate doing things the earth pony way. Although, if they were truly doing things the earth pony way, why are pegasus ponies still allowed to fly to clear the skies, something an earth pony couldn't do? And shouldn't Rarity have been forced to construct bird nests with her hooves and teeth, instead of being allowed to manipulate them using telekinesis via her horn, which is essentially using magic? Hmmm ... #

      1. @astra Why do earth ponies hold spades and rakes with their hooves to dance, but use them with their mouths when they're actually trying to work.

        1. @ceruleanspark can't sing with a spade in your mouth

          1. @trister Everything in equestria is covered in pony drool

          2. @trister Sure you can! Just not very well. Nor clearly.

            1. @astra I admit it would be interesting to see a large choreographed musical number where the performers spit their words through mouths full of equipment

              1. @trister That would be hilarious. Probably kind of gross, depending upon how much they played up the spitting and drooling, but hilarious.

        2. @ceruleanspark We will have to investigate this "Pastelis Ponius".

        3. @ceruleanspark Uhm ... torque.

          1. @astra Why don't more people appreciate this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSRp6wlgbEM

            1. @ceruleanspark Unfortunately, what could have been a sweet, heart-warming piece was ruined by what sounds like it was composed and orchestrated on a synthesizer hastily picked up for $99 at the nearest Radio Shack, and performed by one of the production crew's teenage kids after a few weeks of organ lessons. This resulted in a cheap sound quality, and a herky-jerky flow of the song in general, distracting from the song's otherwise adorable premise. If the song were done with current production quality and commitment, it would be an instant classic on par with "Cupcakes" (the song, not the fanfic).

              1. @astra Interestingly, the singer is one of the current VA's. Tabitha St Germain.

                1. @ceruleanspark Hm! That IS interesting. Obviously, she learned from observing how the song she sang was mangled. Then again, Tabitha St. Germain doesn't sing for Rarity; that's handled by Kazumi Evans. Hmmmm.

                  1. @astra I like to think that's what Tabitha St Germain sounds like all the time when she sings. When she's singing in the car or shower or whatever.

            2. @ceruleanspark Going on my MP3 player tomorrow!

      2. @astra Because all the previous Winter Wrap-Ups with no wings or magic were late. So they take some shortcuts, and STILL end up late.

        1. @thelastgherkin Hmmm. So, they sold out their heritage and identity for the sake of convenience. I get it now . . . ;) Seriously, though, it might have been amusing to watch earth ponies clearing clouds out of the skies. Whole batteries of catapults loaded with earth ponies, aimed at the skies! Wheeeee!

          1. @astra Or...they could use ballistas with grappling hooks!
