The homestuck fandom managed to raise 350K for their kickstarter in a single day. When it comes to raising money for vanity projects, the homestuck fandom is simply the best there is.

@ceruleanspark If we name this a homestuck site, we could probably make some cash.

@anarchycarcino I seriously considered setting up ebubbles.net and sticking another statusnet instance on there, but my hatred of the homestuck fandom is the only thing that rivals my hatred of this one.

@ceruleanspark I stay away from it, so I've less hate. I haven't met too many forgettable people.

@anarchycarcino Last con I went to, I attended a homestuck meetup and a pony meetup. They had roughly equal, absolutely titanic spaghetti levels, even against the naturally high background spaghetti level of an anime con.

@ceruleanspark That's pretty sad. Wish one was better than the other.
Wednesday, 05-Sep-12 14:24:49 UTC from web-
@anarchycarcino Unfortunately not. Both were offensive to all five of my senses.
Wednesday, 05-Sep-12 14:25:28 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark And yet here we are, stuck in the middle of both.

@ceruleanspark how does Homestuck taste?
Wednesday, 05-Sep-12 14:26:28 UTC from web-
@pony Have you ever been near a person who smells so awful you can taste it in the back of your throat?
Wednesday, 05-Sep-12 14:27:02 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark only once
Wednesday, 05-Sep-12 14:27:25 UTC from web-
@pony Both groups were so ill groomed that they had that aura around them.

@anarchycarcino @ceruleanspark Thinking about this makes me want to organize another meetup even less. Maybe I'll just make friends instead.
Wednesday, 05-Sep-12 14:31:17 UTC from web-
@pony Actually, when I attend local meetups, everyone conforms to like...normal, acceptable standards of grooming.
Wednesday, 05-Sep-12 14:32:24 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark I had little to no complaints about the grooming/odor, but there was still plenty of spaghetti, more than I like to deal with outside of work at least.. I blame the fact that most were teenagers.
Wednesday, 05-Sep-12 14:35:10 UTC from web-
@pony Yeah, there's definitely spaghetti at my local meetups. Either in the form of shoving the fandom down uninterested and beseiged store employees throats, or of yelling song lyrics in crowded pedestrianised areas. Every time that second one starts I always hope a police officer will show up and book them for causing a disturbance.

@ceruleanspark I'd like to see that caught on video and posted on Youtube.
Wednesday, 05-Sep-12 14:38:39 UTC from web-
@pony Does it count if I'm the one who induces them to sing, then calls the cops AND does the filming?
Wednesday, 05-Sep-12 14:39:23 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark that absolutely counts and it earns bonus points

@scribus I tried to read that to the rhythm of the song and it didn't work. :(
Wednesday, 05-Sep-12 14:42:49 UTC from web-
@thelastgherkin That's fine, it also doesn't go to the rhythm of the song when hoardes of bronies wander around screaming the song.
-
-
@scribus I'd also like to see a hoard of bronies sing the song and sound really good. Some of my faith in humanity might be restored.
Wednesday, 05-Sep-12 14:45:26 UTC from web-
@pony I would pay money to fund the establishment of a brony barbershop group who just show up to meetups, sing really well, and leave.
Wednesday, 05-Sep-12 14:46:20 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark Kickstart it! :D

@scribus Bronies only donate to vanity projects or when it gives them an opportunity to circlejerk about how /incredibly generous/ they are.
Wednesday, 05-Sep-12 14:48:35 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark I was thinking it would get funded by store owners, restaurant employees, and other assorted bystanders.

@ceruleanspark It might get some would-be Pavarottis to think twice before singing in public, but probably not.
Wednesday, 05-Sep-12 14:48:56 UTC from web-
@pony I don't think Pavarotti ever sang anything at all like songs from My Little Pony.
Wednesday, 05-Sep-12 14:50:10 UTC from web-
@thelastgherkin Now I want to hear Pavarotti sing Giggle at the Ghostie.

@scribus It probably wouldn't be too hard with some practice.. or a lot of practice.. anyway it's possible.
