!vabronies Me and a (non-brony) friend were discussing our plans for a set of audio skits. I'm voiceacting, he's writing. It's a medieval setting, and there's a scene where a horse is ridden. He was suggesting that instead of trying to dig up public-domain sfx, I could just use my two halves of coconuts to make a hoof-trot sound. Thing is, he didn't phrase it like that. He's not that well-acquainted with some of the intricacies of the Brony subculture, so he didn't notice what was odd about the fact that what he actually said was "Instead of looking up sounds, you could just record yourself clopping!".

So it seems that people are exceedingly fond of the "Smile" song. Seeing the value people are finding in it truly saddens me, for that song has been ruined for me. I mean, seriously, when I watched the episode, I had to watch that scene on mute. The cause being a video entitled "smile.avi". Uploaded long before the song was actually aired, it utilized the same grotesque imagery of the .MOV series. But without the humor and bizarre voice acting that made the series disturbingly funny, it just ended up being disturbingly disturbing. (Eloquent, I know. Sue me.) And now, every time I hear the music, I mentally associate it with the first place I heard it. Which is now irritating, because I can't enjoy the remixes and covers that inevitably follow each episode. TLDR: Whine whine whine.

@flaxx See, a few months ago, before I started the class, I created a whole paragraph from Tarzan-Latin. I'm eventually gonna rewrite it properly now that I know how. Vivat Nova Lunis Imperium, sic semper solem alicornu.

I've been taking a Latin class this year. They give us the vocabulary in batches of about twenty biweekly. One of the first words was "friendship". It drove me insane. The teacher was usually doing something, the textbook was limited, and Google was being surprisingly unhelpful in finding that one word. Then, last week, we finally got it. I can finally say: Amicitia est magicam.

So I'm browsing new posts on this website. I see something about a pony name generator. I think "this might be interesting." I click, and it turns out this generator is within a flash game requiring registration. Well screw that! Wait a minute. Artix? Holy crap, that's not Artix Entertainment, is it? They wouldn't do anything like thi-HOLY CRAP IT IS. At this point I remember the many hours I happily wasted on Dragon Fable, MechQuest and AdventureQuest Worlds. One one hand, Artix Entertainment has repeatedly presented me with fun timewasters, but on the other hand, this concept has the capacity to obliterate any and all faith I have in them if not handle properly. I make my decision, I mute the music and dive in. Twenty minutes later, Little Mango Bug is at level two and has a new robe. Thank you, Artix Entertainment. You have my membership for the fifth time.

I am rather intelligent. As is the case with some intelligent people, I am proud of it and as a result I am somewhat of a smartass. Often, this takes the form of things that aren't difficult for me to understand, but nobody else seems to sans Google, then acting all high and mighty about it.. One day, I applied it to this fandom and called myself a Automicrojuvoequiphiliac. If you look at the etymology, it's simple. Auto, by or of oneself. Micro, small. Juvo, young. Equi, horse. Philiac, lover of. Thus we get Myself, small, young, horse, lover. I am, of course, referring to the fact that I love MLP. However, a vast majority of people honestly don't care, so I am now known as Otto. Not quite as planned, but I think I'll keep it.

I was recently sent a humorous illustration. Rainbow Dash advertising "clopjobs" for $1, and several character's reactions. My friends had the obvious reaction, but for a full five seconds, I was stuck on the fact that it was an inaccurate parallel to the etymology of the actual terms. The first noun, (usually "hand" or "blow") refers to something used to accomplish the act. "Clop", however, refers to the act itself. One does not clop someone, nor does one use their clop to do so. It would be like advertising "mangoesiojob: $1". Then I realized what I was looking at and I became a bit less focused on linguistics and a bit more focused on the concept of oh god get it out of my head.

@muttstuffle I envy these people.

I recently realized that I usually type MLP instead of spelling out the name of the show. It helps me avoid facing the fact that I'm actively participating in a franchise that I previously held on par with Cinderella, the Teletubbies, and unanesthetized surgery. I shall now go reread Cupcakes and pretend I'm not a sixteen year old guy hiding ponies from his parents.

Rewatching S1E01, I realize something about the first appearance of Fluttershy. I have seen these people. You talk to them , and they start mumbling. Keep trying to interact, and they get quieter. Then they squeak, then they go silent, then they go L4D Hunter on your bananas. I've seen it happen twice, it's terrifying. It rarely happens, because people usually stop pushing once they hear the squeak.

@pungrongos What's all this, then?

It's interesting how watching the full first season of BattleStar Galactica nonstop can change one's thinking. For example, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, kill it. There are no ducks aboard the Galactica, so it's obviously a Cylon disguised as a duck.

There are many things I enjoy. Reading, writing, video editing. Good games, fast internet connection, the list goes on. However, all of these things are surpassed by self-promotion to a large audience. So, whether you're reading, ignoring, or distracted by something shiny, I give you a link which I now urge you to click, for many strange and wondrous things lie within. http://www.youtube.com/user/spudmoneyrenamesu

@pinhooves Testing, testing, !vabeachbronies
-
@moonprincess Try twice.
-
@pinhooves So, is this an isolated social network for bronies built off of Twitter, (a la Ponychan) or is it something more specific? I joined merely to be able to join the VABeach brony thing. Not sure how to use the tag function yet.

Plausibly, a poor, plagued peasant, placed precariously on the planet. This personae of a peculiar persuasion is no paltry presence, the presence of the people, now padlocked in their paddocks. This palpable presentation of Equestria's popluation stands pround, and has prayed to penetrate the protection of these predators and police, preaching their prattle. They pray their pompous pedigrees will protect their positions, while still picking our pockets. Practically, the perfect plan to pacify is to purge. Heh. But probably this paragraph pans more than a penny, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you, and you may call me P.
