Edit: That includes me, apparently.

[Kindablue]

I suddenly realized that within the 'two random things' scheme, it would make items with 'some parts sold separately' into a whirlwind tour of possibly every shop in town...and I am ok with this.

It'd make shopping more interesting, that's for sure.

Somewhere in Manehatten there's an escort service/gardening shop under the 'all shops two things' theory.

...Is the Underdark D&D's Australia?

In Australia, everything is trying to kill you. In the Underdark, death is the most pleasant of your potential fates.

AAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUGH KILL IT WITH FIRE, KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!
That isn't Rainbow Dash! It's some twisted lab experiment gone wrong!

It was such a tragedy for her, losing her wings in that accident, she went quite mad from it. If only we had recognized how far that madness would drive her!

Did the fan shop sell two thing?

Yes. It sells fans and fans. Fans that move air around and fans that adore you. Be sure you specify explicitly which kind you want if you mail-order.

Edit: Speling, why u hate me so?

Again, THANK YOU FOR THAT LOVELY MENTAL IMAGE.

[TheAmishPirate]

Bait shop and diner: Grubs and Grub
Boating and ceiling repair: Rafts and Rafters

Yeah, that's all I got.

[Etcetera]

Bait shop and diner: Grubs and Grub
Boating and ceiling repair: Rafts and Rafters

Yeah, that's all I got.

'Gators and Gaiters?
Gaits and Gates? How do you sell gates? Local ministry of silly walks offices, perhaps.
Dice and Dyes?

[darthbobcat]

We sell lingerie and pet snakes: Garters and Garters.

[Pokonic]

Underground compound building and dragon egg adoptation...
Dungeons and Dragons.

[tonberrian]

I wonder if you can get a pegasus to set up a tiny blizzard in a hollow glass sphere to sell as a trinket...

[Kris Strife]

Possible shop names:

Livestock and Livery
Bacon and Eggs

Two problems here. One, both of those shops sell related objects. Two, most ponies don't eat bacon.

Edit: Speling, why u hate me so?

Was this intentional?

[MCerberus]

Again, THANK YOU FOR THAT LOVELY MENTAL IMAGE.

It's what I do.

[the_druid_droid]

We sell lingerie and pet snakes: Garters and Garters.

One heckuva mail order catalogue...

I wonder if you can get a pegasus to set up a tiny blizzard in a hollow glass sphere to sell as a trinket...

Sure! You just have to find a very tiny pegasus.

[PhoeKun]

Again, THANK YOU FOR THAT LOVELY MENTAL IMAGE.

I fail to see the problem.

Sure! You just have to find a very tiny pegasus.

...I'm on the case!

[Nomar]

Was this intentional?

Yes. Substituting ‘u’ for ‘you’ is not something that even I would do accidentally.

[Kris Strife]

Yes. Substituting ‘u’ for ‘you’ is not something that even I would do accidentally.

I was referring to the fact that you have spelling with only one l.

[Aotrs Commander]

You can't make it contrived enough?
Okay. My rule about convincing you instead of forcing you? Name the weapons or I 'forget' my limits. Would that do it?

Still no. This, is , I'm afraid, one of those issues where I absolutely will not budge. Not even under threat.

Naming weapons is at best, kind of silly, unless they are magical artifacts of extreme power.

Luke Skywalker doesn't name his lightsabre (actually do jedi or Sith I've ever heard of, outside of the computer games, named their lightsabres), Jack O'Neill doesn't name his P90, Han Solo doesn't name his blaster pistol, Commander Shepherd doesn't name her guns, Jim Raynor doesn't name his rifle, even the fraggin' Space Marines, do not, to my knowledge, name their bolters.

Lord Death Despoil has two named weapons, both of which are ancient magical artifacts, and that's about it. He doesn't name his coldbeam pistol, or his rifle or his javelins (when he has rare occasion to use them).

And weapons that are unique -and powerful - are the only ones which should have a name, and even then it is not a requirement. Other people can name their guns all tgey like but I absolutely WILL NOT.

With Megatron? Ick. He's kinda a jerk.

...?

How...

But...

How is he less of a jerk than me?!?!

*skullpalm*



I'd say more, but now it's time for wargames, and to actually roll out the ESU Soviets. (Well, as Shapeways is four-asteriskin' late again the Tesla Troopers, at any rate...)

[Nomar]

I was referring to the fact that you have spelling with only one l.

Oh. That's such a standard in-joke in the places I hung out before, I forgot it was an in-joke. Whoops.

[WJMill]

Sugoi! Kawaii desu ne? (warning, even though they are phonetically very similar, never use Kowai when you mean kawaii.)

I've used kowai instead of kawaii intentionally for laughs. My sensei was very adamant about proper pronunciation, so it made him especially angry. :3


As far as ALL SHOPS SELL TWO THINGS:
Sweaters and Swatters (sweaters and fly swatters)
Dresses and Tresses (though may be too close, designing fashion and hair)
Pages and Cages (books and bird cages)
Parrots and Carrots


..Yeah that's all I got for this one.

[tonberrian]

Two problems here. One, both of those shops sell related objects. Two, most ponies don't eat bacon.

One, what do farm animals have to do with uniforms? Two, it's an egg restaurant combined with a store that sells frozen plant-bacon (you'd be surprised what a determined earth pony can grow). Are you saying that the romance of the determined egg-restaraunteer and bacon-grower is forbidden just because their hobbies are tangentially related?

[Nomar]

Two, it's an egg restaurant combined with a store that sells frozen plant-bacon (you'd be surprised what a determined earth pony can grow).

It's a shelf fungus, actually. Hard to cultivate since it only grows on lardapple trees and those a choosy about terrain and stuff. Plus, you have to be almost psychic to to tell the right time to harvest them — they go from ripe to rancid in a jiffy. But very worth it, as anypony who who ever ate some will tell you.

Truly, this is what makes their love all the sweeter.

Its a diner for griffen tourists, silly! Its not weird that there eating eggs, cause they give birth to eggcubs!

On the topic of multiquotes: I think SiuiS's multiquote crushed any hope of me doing a long, reply-to-everyone post. It's like looking at a mountain and knowing that - with a couple of days and some giants - you could tear it up and build a castle in its ruins. But some bloke built his castle on top of a mountain just so that you would have to tear up the mountain and the castle. Except I love his castle, his castle's amazing, it's just that I can't build a castle right now and oh look I'm rambling again yay

On the topic of EVIL ENCHANTRESSES: I agree that Zecora must have fallen right into the uncanny valley for ponies. She's secretive, she has a strange black-white pattern on her fur which she covers up every time she comes into town. Griffons? Oh, yeah, people can understand what griffons are, and little baby dragons, but what is that thing that is almost a pony but not quite a pony?

On the topic of stars: beautiful. Cold, star-lit nights are a gift.

On the topic of Phoe viruses: Phoe, go punch that virus in the face so hard that it explodes.


On the topic of questions: say that Luna made a reference to Tor Caencelod as a historic place, would you be able to guess what that is? That being ancient Canterlot.
It's for a fic.


On the topic of non-pony stuff: I passed my driving exam!

"I am in pain! I am in considerable pain! Oh, sweet Celestia, the agony! Wait, no, I'm all better now."

And then Talespinner pulls out... MIDNIGHT! From... somewhere. Don't ask questions.

"I have no idea how I suddenly acquired you, but I'm not one to look a gift filly in the mouth. DJINNIFICATION, GO!"

[darthbobcat]

Sure, everypony knows Tor.

Oh yeah, considering most ponys seem to think as themselves and each other as there type (ex. tell those pegusi to get off my lawn!), zecora does not fit with anything they can classify, hence there unatural fear of her.

Hmm, sounds celtic in a way, Canterlot castle?

[Kris Strife]

Horses can wear Livery too.

Correlation is weaker when it's ponies, but it's still there.

[Mystic Muse]

Huh, it seems that there has been a power shift in the pony community. Brazen has made a power grab and Trixie has made no attempt to retaliate.
I for one welcome our new Brazen overlord.

This meme stopped being funny a while ago, and it's even less funny to somebody who was hurt.

Down with the empire of Trixie!

Why? just why?

I mostly didn't want to offend Trixie. And yeah, we should have seen this coming when she left.

Note that I'm NOT mad at anyone. I'm just worried that Trixie's feelings will be hurt.

They were.

Yes, Trixie took over the job of thread Creator from Jahkaivah. He had created a mere two threads in that time. He probably didn't care about the thread at that point. Trixie created seventeen, and has repeatedly requested for people to wait a bit for her to create a new thread. She did care about the thread, and while I can see why a new thread was made, the jokes about taking Trixie down and how it's better that Brazen made the thread are just mean-spirited in light of that and unfunny.
