    BTW did you know that "Gaylord" is a real name? And if that's not silly enough... meet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaylord_Silly And did http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Gaylord ever manage to gain populatiy among the NASCAR crowd? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Gaylord though has the perfect name for his "Gaylord Entertainment Company", since gay originally means cheerfully vivacious/frisky.

    I only oppose fur when worn by animals.

    Wow, check out "My Little Bloopers" on youtube. There are so many visual and continuity errors in the show, and I barely noticed any while watching the show. Because things are moving and the attention is on other stuff, I'd guess others make the same experience. Reminds me of those UK watch-out-for-cyclists ads. PS: Haha, just had a nasty idea: Publish one of those find-the-differences pictures in some media with n differences and tell people there are n+1. Tell them that at least one of the differences is very cleverly hidden.

    Seen any great tits lately? I heard they migrated to the internet.
  7. Almost forgot I once made this - an inside joke to those in the know and totally misleading for Obama-fans: This might help, but watching that episode is way more creepy http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0512897/

    I made something nice... (If Pinkie Pie had a car, it would be a 'Beamer'.) EDIT: And just found a video in the same spirit as the anim: Pinkie Pie is a balloonatic, because she spreads so much balooney.

    Yeah, the trailer would be perfect if the maker knew that there's no plural to friendship, at least not in this context. And then doing a repetition of that, argh. Maybe a semi-hidden clue so that people won't believe it's an official trailer. That trailer also shows that one shouldn't judge a book by its cover, haha.

    Actually, the Russian one is one of my favorites. It's not the best scene to determine authenticity, because in that scene Fluttershy was first pressured, then assertive. In scenes where she is her normal gentle self, one can see the difference between a soft voice and a muted, shyed-up voice. The Mexican-Spanish one was relatively bad, but I don't like the German one that much for said reason. German dubbing is often pretty messy, since they don't care much to match voice and personality / original voice, but in MLP they at least did that to some degree. The content of what's said is probably a much greater challenge in translation though. That said, I recently watched a German version of a documentary (so no lip-sync necessary), and the content was often very much different from the English version, but from what I could hear, more accurate. That surprised me. To sum it up: I prefer authenticity very much. Something is almost always lost in translation. BTW I found an awesome fan-made trailer. Definitely overhyping, but useful for expanding the herd. Funny youtube comment: "Went to a gaming night with a bunch of guys I barely know, saw an open internet connection, devised a plan, played this video, suddenly everyone in the room is a brony. Thank you."

    Haha, thanks. That song was new to me. And yeah, while there is no clue in the show for Dashy being gay (since there not even a hint at sexuality in the whole show - except maybe in that one scene with her and Fluttershy - haha, I bet you don't know which one I mean ), her character, voice and appearance are very stereotypical/symbolic.

    Another one like the previous video: This one's funny, too, if you watch the whole thing:
  16. "When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis. With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction. As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew." Saw that coming. Homegrown terrorism, war abroad, manhunt, WMD. This year, the desecration of the Star Trek franchise shifts gear. (Could be a line from the trailer.) If you don't mind massive spoilers, you can watch the trailer here: Yes, it's really supposed to be a Star Trek trailer.
  17. What made YOU laugh today/tonight ?

    For the Hoard!
  18. Can there be such a thing as a Nazi Dao?

    Apech and chenping meet in the middle of a narrow bridge. chenping: "I don't make way for fools!" Apech: "I do." (backs up)

    Ponified video of a Japanese music video game: The video has a lot of replay value. So many details in animation and Pony lore. Did you see Fluttershy's 'heart blast' in Pinkie Pie's room? I value games like that highly, for they help people practice rhythm in a very fun way. Man, if that Pony version was available for PC, I'd probably buy it. Never get tired of seeing Apple Jack wield a katana.

    I know one can't expect youtube poop to not stink, but sometimes it's dragon poop and one can find a few jewel fragments. Watch this from 5:06 to 5:30... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWmDcujkIjw This bit at least makes some sense. Did you find any 'voice remixing' on youtube that is top notch in terms of clarity and plot? Must be somewhere, considering how much effort creative people put into this stuff, and by now there must be an archive of original show sound samples somewhere. Should be possible to make completely new episodes with original material only.

    Yeah, I got a file with loads of links to check out. My browser is almost crashing from all the open windows.

  24. Are the TCM acupuncture points only for inducing effects, or can symptoms (sensations) also manifest at them? Specifically I'd like to know the specific meaning for the following point: right hand, thumb, right side, just below the baseline of the nail Thanks!
