Also, Midnight, still waiting on you.

Um, thanks! But I'm, uh, vegetarian. Yeah, vegetarian! That's it. So I'm just going to set this down right here and go outside to vomi--find my car keys. Which I left outside, behind those bushes.

Tsk, even underage, I still was able to drink, it helps being a 6 foot tall teenager, nopony cards you.

Of course, I've been legal for over a decade now...

If I don't shave for a few days I can get away with that, too. I've never gotten beards to work on me, though, so I don't do it often. And most places card you now even if you look like Hugh Hefner, on the off-chance that you're a nine year old with progeria and a taste for cheap vodka.

What? It's just beer in a bacon mug.

[erikun]

Generally because "girly" drinks are fruity and flavored, not that I would know I can't drink... for... another... five years (legally that is). Actually it's four years since my birthday's in a month.

I don't know, the only one that don't taste terribly alcoholly are the fruity ones. Then again, I'd wonder why I'm spending that much money on the addition of alcohol when the non-alcohol version would taste the same and probably be cheaper.

I don't drink, as you might guess.

Oh! Right.




No idea.

[TheAmishPirate]

I'm technically old enough to drink, I've just never found the opportunity to, and most people tell me that alcohol tastes like feet anyway. Not much incentive to try it, I suppose.

I do, however, act drunk whenever I get sufficiently tired. It's pretty amusing; all the fun of random giggling and whatever the hay comes into my head, with no hangover. Awwwww yeah.

Oh, right, ponies.

Also, some of us are very drunk.

I'm only drunk on life and ponies.

Yeah, looking older than you are sometimes has its advantages. Still, it gets annoying when people I've known for years assume that I am between 5 and 10 years older than I am.

Fun fact, I have the opposite problem. A couple of years back, while I was finishing Uni, I was still getting carded ... in video game stores ... for MA 15+ games.

[Beeskee]

Mudslides are pretty yummy.


I don't like the very strong alcohols, at least not straight up. I also don't like beer much, unless it's one of the imported ones.


Edit: The posted pony pictures are awesome.

*Midnight frowns, taking all of this in. She listens to Leo explain everything, and then when he finishes...

"Begging your pardon, and I mean no offense to you personally, but what your organization seems to be doing appears to be the height of arrogance. Who are you to determine what happens to other universes? What divine mandate? You think you know about the multiverse, but the multiverse in and of itself is unknowable, due to it's sheer expanse. Some universes must be uniquely fated for things to happen, while others are completely deterministic, where choices matter. Who are you to interfere with any of that? You could screw things up worse than what they were originally going to turn out to be!

Not only that, who polices you? You cannot tell me your organization nor these Exalted are incorruptable. You cannot tell me that you do not have agendas that determine your actions, and the paths that you take. Who are you to decide right and wrong? You said your kind ruled a world once, but now you do not? That in and of itself is questionable to me. Makes me wonder.

Of course, on the other hand, it's doubtful your kind has a huge impact on the multiverse as a whole. If the theory is correct that decisions create alternate universes, than your group of, what, seven hundred? Your group couldn't possibly hope to police anything than a small subsection of even the small subsection of worlds where sun and moon are controlled. That's not even getting into the potential that many universes might have hundreds, thousands, MILLIONS of worlds out there!"

Her horn flicks, and the book reappears, Midnight grasping it with her magic. She eyes Leo.

"I suppose what I'm saying is that I do not recognize you or your organizations authority. I appreciate the tip on the magic, however, I'm always willing to learn from new sources."

Craig McCracken? Never heard of "Friendship is Magic", though. It sounds like a bad after school special.

Eh, what the hell, I love cheese like that. Do you know where I can find it?

What? It's just beer in a bacon mug.

And now you have extra!

[Soras Teva Gee]

Why are they called girly drinks when they usually have a higher alchohol content than non-girly drinks? I've never understood that one.

Because you don't chug them, they're smaller for that content, and they take longer to make (generally) then opening a beer or pouring a shot.

And y'know the fruit and sweet flavor. If it isn't beer and doesn't clear the sinuses it isn't manly.

[erikun]

Craig McCracken?

Yeah, him! Only it's like a female him, and he's married to her.
And she likes ponies. Best quality ever.

I have a small taste for Baileys, but that's because it's like drinking awesome chocolate. I've been proper drunk only once. I don't like beer. My Australian citizenship could be revoked if word of this gets out.

I thought they only did that if you admit to liking Fosters.

Myself I don't care for beer that much, I drink it it but don't rave about it by any means. I actually like a nice wine best I think.

Also, Luna speculation:

Spoiler

Show

I have a feeling she's going to end up being tragically incompetent...

I can't imagine that being Lauren Faust's concept for Luna, I can't imagine she failed to lay out her concept for the current staff, and I can't imagine them portraying Luna any way but how Lauren intended, so I'm betting your fears are groundless.

I am both eager and trepidatious to finally see canon Luna, but while I will miss the various fan versions that will be contradicted by the official one, I don't expect to be disappointed.

[Zevox]

@ Topaz - I'm not sure if you check the Heal/Hurt thread more than once per day, but you may want to pop over there and edit your vote for today. You tried to hurt a character that's already dead, and it's a bit confusing that you posted heals for two characters but labeled one "double heal."

Hello ponythread,

(druid_droid here, if the eldritch avvie is confusing you). Today was miserable, and I would like nothing more than to go whimper in a corner until I don't feel like the world and the future hate me. That said, would you perhaps have some nice pony-themed pictures to cheer me up? I'm kinda down...

Speaking as a someone currently operating on ~1 hour of sleep, I'd just like to say that I'd rather be drunk.

Long and short of it: Mrs Dexam had another epileptic seizure last night. So, another trip to hospital, and another nervous time for all of us, particularly as she started having contraction-like aches about 6 weeks too early.

Everything appears to be okay. Mrs Dex and the impending bub check out okay, but they're keeping her in today and tonight to for observation. I'll be going back to join them soon.

Ponythread! I need your help!

My phone is woefully devoid of pony music, and I feel that it is now safe to go ahead and load the thing down with whatever I can get my grubby hands on. The problem is, I am also woefully bad at finding and procuring digital media on the internet.

So, since all of us are better than me alone, I need music! Music of PONIES!

Um... if that's... okay with everyone...

Keeping it pony-relevant:
PepperBrony (a.k.a. Foozogz) - particularly this and this.

But seriously, picture you are hanging out with a bunch of friends. It doesn't matter if you have had the same exact conversation a year back, you can have it again, even referencing the old one, and still have fun. That is the basic magic of how this thread keeps running. That and the fact that along with the repeat stuff, people bring in new ideas and topics every day.

0_0* Thank you?
I may just start watching and pop in every once and a while I suppose.

Also, some of us are very drunk.

That can help conversation, I suppose.

According to the list, they've posted in here before.

Basically, though I think why we keep going can be wrapped up to: Magic, Friendship, and Adorableness. and bondage

Also that Scootaloo bouncing image seems to match any music I play.

Ya, I did post in the threads once or twice, but Wasn't really in the conversation.
and I noticed that too. Was listening to music on youtube, and when I saw scootaloo bouncing... she was in tune with it. singing it almost. Weird 'cause the singer was a guy. 0_0*

I Love that mug.


Seems the conversations turned to alcohol. Is this a bad time to point out I'm underage? (Well, I'm an adult, just not 21 as of yet ).

Also, some music, I suppose? anyone found the stuff they post on youtube? They make some awesome stuff.

Point by point, planning it together
It's a sketch, cutting out the pattern edge by edge
Making sure the model unfolds nicely
It's perfect numbers for the plan
always gotta keep my normals facing
two-manifold's I'm facing,
I'm makingathreedimensionalmodelofahorsebasedonanillus tratiooon!

Face by Face, fussing on the details
Tri's to quads, 'cause you know it simply saves me time
make this something to admire
even though my rhyming is quite dire
gotta mind my thinnest walling rules
but that's why I went to schools
I'm makingathreedimensionalmodelofahorsebasedonanillus tratiooon!

Meshing is easy-
for a guy who likes to think
Projection's something tricky
blend steel and form- I don't mean something squicky!

Something curved, perhaps like Hogarth
Nose and eye, couldn't you just simply cry?
Making sure it fits within my bounds
don't forget the magic of wacom
even though it's kind of fake
I don't think that will shake
I'm makingathreedimensionalmodelofahorsebasedonanillus tratiooon!

Point by point, edge by edge,
face by face, ess-kay-pea
Oh-bee-jay, zee-tee-el
Export all, get compressed
and that's the art of the mesh!

And that. Is how. Ponies. Are born.

Now the sculpting begins!
