IT'S PI DAY!

[Fluttershy]
Now, Rainbow my dear, I cannot express my delight
It's abundantly clear that somewhere out here
Is a game that will suit you just right

[Rainbow Dash]
I can't wait to get started, but first let me set a few rules
It's of utmost importance the vidya I get
Is something that's awesome and cool

My husband and I have our own bakery business. It's small, but it gets us by and we love it.
We always make a point to be kind and give individual attention to each of our customers.
The way its set up- since we're still in a rental space- is that we don't have wall and doorway connecting the kitchen to the shop. Just a counter. So everyone sees everything that we bake, but I have no problem with that.
Earlier today, a mother came in with her daughter. The kid must have been no more than 4 or 5 years old. The mother said that her daughter wants to see how cupcakes were made. My first thought was "Come on lady, you can't show your kid how to make cupcakes? That's a super simple home project." I didn't say that of course, and there was no one in the shop so I didn't mind showing her. So I walked around the counter and crouched down to eye level with the little girl and said "Okay, I'll show you!" Then, just to make conversation, I asked her "Why do you want to know how to make cupcakes?" The whole time I guess I had noticed, but didn't think much of it, but she was holding a doll or something close to her chest. After I asked her that, she got the biggest grin on her face and said "Because that's what Pinkie Pie does!" And then took her doll away from her chest and showed me. It was one of the MLP happy meal Pinkie Pie Toys.
Her mom laughed and said "Oh, she really loves My Little Pony. I guess one of the ponies is a baker."
I saw a once in a million year opportunity. Completely embarrass myself to make this child's day? Yep. Totally worth it.
I had been previously making cupcakes before they walked into the shop, so I had all of my ingredients out anyhoof. I showed her behind the counter and started singing, while pushing ingredients toward the middle of the table.

All you have to do is take a cup of flour, add it to the mix!
Now just take a little something sweet, not sour,
A bit of salt--just a pinch!
Baking these treats is such a cinch,…

"Pooh-pooh to the Loons!" he was grinch-ishly humming.
"They're finding out now that their Luna’s not coming!
"They're just waking up! I know just what they'll do!
"Their mouths will hang open a minute or two
"Then all the Loons down in /pony/ville will all cry BOO-HOO!"

"That's a noise," grinned the Grinch,
"That I simply must hear!"
So he paused. And the Grinch put a hand to his ear.
And he did hear a sound rising over the show.
It started in low. Then it started to grow...

Do you like Huey Lewis and The Mules?

i'm the supervising director of the show and I just wanted to say hi to you guys and that all of us on the production team really love the enthusiasm and excitement you have for the show. We work hard to bring you the best ponies we can and your response has been incredible! It really makes it worthwhile and exciting for us. I love all the great macros and fan art, I save the best ones for my desktop.

thanks to all for your support and feedback!

sorry for the sappy post, but I mean it.

MOD EDIT: Confirmed as legit

Well, the last hurt & heal thread kinda...fell apart, so I'm making a new one!

There rules are quite simple; when you post, you take away one health form one pony and add one to another. You must take away ONE and add ONE, no adding or taking away two or any other silly nonsense.
YOU MAY ONLY HURT/HEAL ONCE EVERY HOUR. And no naughty anons trying to cheat or we'll find you!

So, what's the catch of this thread?

EACH PONY STARTS WITH ONLY ONE HEALTH!

If you wanna save your favorite from an early grave, you're gonna have to sacrifice another! Choose carefully!

Here's the pony list, please copy-paste this into your post and mark who you're hurting and healing to make it easier for the next person and to help keep the score in line. …

Guess what....


We finished our bedtime story.



(Let's break one more post limit with a victory thread before we start an editing thread.)

I want to start another one of these because I though the last one we had was awesome.

So in the off-chance that this thread doesn't die after 5 posts:

Post anything that's been bothering you, get something off your chest, or just comfort people about their secrets and stuff. I suppose I will start:
Honestly, I started watching MLP because Twilight's hair looked like Stocking's from Panty and Stocking wtih Garterbelt.

I feel that, while we often talk about which pony we like the most, or debate things, we don't really stop to think about the things we can learn from the ponies as a whole!

Why, I am mostly a fluttery pony... And while a Fluttershy set of sensibilities is what comes naturally to me, I feel that I can learn a lot from other ponies, too!

Like Pinkie! By enjoying her character, I've found that it's made me a more courageous pony. How about yourself? What sorts of things have you learned, not just from your favorite pony, but from the other mane cast ponies, too?

Post ending in 66 prints all the pictures in this thread and puts them in their neighbor's mailbox.

Just out of interest, does the Konami code do anything here? (up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A for those who don't know)

WE REVEAL SEEECREEETS.

Alright, here's the deal. You post an image of a pony. Or Spike. Or Steve Magnet or Winona. It doesn't matter, just post a picture of them. Next to it, post a secret they might have.

If your post gets dubs, the secret is true.

Day 1, 1500 hours: It appears that I have arrived at the location that toot specified. There is a civilization here, not unlike those that we are familiar with. It is different, though. Strange. The inhabitants appear fond of bright colors, not unlike children. However, there is not an accusation of homosexuality as far as the eye can see, and most conversations are held using complete sentences and even, on occasion, paragraphs. In this respect their culture seems significantly more advanced than our own (NOTE: investigate how this developed!). I will attempt to make further contact with their people in order to learn more about their society and its ways. What deities do they pray to? Do they have initiation or manhood rituals? My mind fills with questions, but they will have to be answered at a later date.

Signing off.
