The Thread About Ponies, Logistics and General Weirdness (And Gilda)TV

I think this kind of design, strapped to the leg, would work better as a handgun alternative. A small piece of steel or brass attached to the leg between the gun and leg would work a a guard. Weapon could have a short enough barrel to keep above the ground. Simpler mechanisms like revolvers could work like this.

I could see this sort of device being used in a western shootout, with fancy scrollwork on the brass shield and the blued, revolver-chambered weapon. Not sure how they'd draw...I guess with both hooves on the ground, pull up, and fire...

I was thinking similar, but it would work with SMGs. Also remember, given that there would be no stock, a rifle would be much shorter and therefore more compact.

Snipers and such use a shoulder mounted system with a targeter linked to the helmet.

Then I started posting pictures that only two people who visit this thread would actually get.

As in that awesomely cute image of Midnight and her incredibly confusing family?

Also I finished my fanfic! *Private cheer.* Packaged off to my pre-readers now, but I'm really scared this one'll fall flat. The other ones aren't exactly that great, and I ventured into uncharted territory with this new one.

In other news, that Friendship is Universal image makes me feel fuzzy inside.

Also what's the official moniker for Trixie/Pinkie shipping?

Minty · Jul 21, 2011

^I say Pixie.

This chart says Trixiepie;

Video is good for the most part, but there are a couple small timing issues that I want to fix before I upload it.

Its like the reverse of that Tom Selleck movie.

Good luck with it.

I say Trixie Pie.

Edit: I hope Snips/Snails shipping is never a thing that actually exists. I mean, there are certainly more in that list that weird me out, but that one just screamed at me "wrong."

Wiegert · Jul 21, 2011

^I still say Pixie, plus Snips/Snails shipping is definitely wrong. Hopefully that kind of pairing will never actually happen.

MintBerryCrunch

Scratchmaremoon and Angus, those are the best shipping/fusion names ever.

Also, I see Lotushy. Wasn't that the name given to Mint's Fluttershy Evora?

Minty · Jul 21, 2011

^Yes, yes it was.

I always noticed the CMC on that list, but it just dawned on me how truly disturbing that is.

Especially, Macinbloom, Macaloo, Macinbelle.

EDIT: Oh damn. Thunderhooves is on that list.

Macinbloom? Pfft. Bloomsmith!

Thank heavens Language Equals Thought is a logical fallacy.

Oooh, I just thought of a funny idea for an image.

What about Thundertwist, Thunderspoon and Thunderiara?

Some of the pairings in that table are wrong on so many levels.

Minty · Jul 21, 2011

Toronado
Macinbloom? Pfft. Bloomsmith!

That was my first thought, but then I remembered Big Mac and Thunderhooves are massive compared to normal ponies.
I can't get the image of any of those pairings out of my head right now.

CoffeeGrunt · Jul 21, 2011

Umm...never heard of the guy...what movie?

Good luck with it.

I feel I'll need it.

Trinkie Pie/Pinxie/Pixie/Trixie Pie...hmmmm...I'll mull over it, only one of my three pre-readers has got back to me so far...

I never noticed they almost have opposing eye/coat pallettes.

CoffeeGrunt · Jul 21, 2011

Sorry but that is an adorable matchup.

MercilessOne · Jul 21, 2011

Minty · Jul 21, 2011

If only I had the forethought to make a 20 million views car.

Tornado · Jul 21, 2011

[Gender-bent-to-pretzels] [Trollestia-gets-Trolled]

Sounds like a story worthy of my attention.

CoffeeGrunt

The guy from Magnum, P.I.

That image... Man. It haunts me.

CoffeeGrunt · Jul 21, 2011

The guy from Magnum, P.I.

I think it's safe to assume his career has passed me by thus far.

That image... Man. It haunts me.

Hmmm...in that case, you'll probably hate my fic then.

Tornado · Jul 21, 2011

I'll read anything with an open mind, don't get me wrong (well, that's a lie, but you get my point).

But the expression on Pinkie's face.

Plus its bipedal, so it already kinda creeps me out to begin with.

It's done! Uploading it to the YouTube now.

CoffeeGrunt · Jul 21, 2011

Oh yeh it's bipedal, which is weird. (Funny that you, a human being, find that unnerving.)

In my defence there's bugger all else that qualifies for this ship. You'd almost think the two characters were horrifically incompatible.

Minty · Jul 21, 2011

So reading Luna's Socks.

Luna's Socks

Twilight's eyes were stained with tears from the laughter, and she was blushing. Those feathers had been everywhere! The soles of her hooves, the pits of her legs, the inside of her ears, even...

Just....I....god dammit
EDIT: Finished part 1.
It's so wrong it's just....

MercilessOne · Jul 21, 2011

This is completely necessary. Bump for great justice!

Tornado · Jul 21, 2011

Language Warning.

Also, it makes Rainbow Dash into sort of a sociopath, so beware.

*Insert Rainbow Dash Shipping Joke Of Your Choice*

I personally like this one much more than the other one, and tried a bit harder to get it "right" as a result, but meh.

Toronado

Yeah. That one actually kind of sucked. I mean, there is room for a really good series in it, but as a one shot it ends on some really unfortunate implications. And the tags and description implied it was a comedy, and it wasn't in the slightest.

Wiegert · Jul 21, 2011

I'm just about to read Luna's Socks now.

Also, the Equestria Daily background now consists of what appears to be an image of the Martian surface.

CoffeeGrunt · Jul 21, 2011

^I'm not getting that. :S

Wiegert · Jul 21, 2011

CoffeeGrunt

Looks like Twilight botched a spell.

CoffeeGrunt · Jul 21, 2011

Oh I saw the new banner before the News post went up. I like how Sethisto' actively calling up on "Twilight dun goof'd" fanfics. It's getting as cliche as "man falls in radioactive waste and gets superpowers."

MercilessOne · Jul 21, 2011

I. Laughed. Out. Loud.

I like the first one a little more, but that was still great.

Also, after listening to this again:

This is Big Mac's new theme song in my mind.

EDIT: I'm going to spend the next hour going through all of my image folders and sorting everything.
I just created and entire "Library" for MLP stuff only.

Racedude · Jul 21, 2011

Racedude here, reporting from beautiful Puerto Escondido (which I will review later because I type this from my phone).

Last night, I was at the souvenir shops, when I suddenly saw a wooden alicorn artisany. I turned my head at moon and bought it. Now I must get good quality paints (and some practice)...

Tornado · Jul 21, 2011

Read new update to story that scares the crap out of me?

Or watch Tremors 2 and have a good laugh?

Hmm.

Huh, I finished watching the first Tremors movie only half an hour ago which is a bit of a coincidence.
Oh yeah, I reckon you should read the update to that story, mind if I ask what it is you're reading?

And I've only just finished reading Luna's Socks (looking forward to the conclusion), so I haven't been able to watch your video until now. It beats your previous effort in terms of quality, although I thought your first one was slightly funnier. Do you have any ideas for future videos?
