November 12 [Catching a fish]
November 12
I had a sore head and dry mouth when I woke up, and I was too hot and I thought my bladder was gonna burst, so I untangled myself from Aric and Meghan and the sheets as quick as I could and went down the hall to the bathroom, and I thought I might wind up peeing forever, and wondered if you could pee so much that the toilet overflowed. I hoped not.
Then I had a drink of water out of the bathtub faucet, 'cause I couldn't get my muzzle under the one in the sink and there weren't any cups. Humans can make a cup out of their hands, but that didn't work with hooves at all.
While I was drinking, I heard Meghan in the hall and she came in and sat down on the toilet and rested her head on her hands and muttered that she probably should have quit two beers earlier last night. And I told her that I felt the same way, and we both agreed that the next time we'd be smarter and remember to drink some water, too, so that way we wouldn't be dried out.
She got up and opened the mirror and there was a secret cabinet behind it that had a bunch of bottles of pills and tubes and hair ties and other little boxes in it, and she found one that was full of aspirin. She looked at it and said that it had expired a year ago but she was going to risk it, and she asked me if I wanted any.
I thought it was probably smarter to not take a chance, and I thought the water would make me feel better anyway, so I shook my head and had one last drink of water.
When Meghan opened the door, Aric was waiting outside, and me and Meghan went back to the bedroom while he was peeing.
Meghan said that she was cold and I was still a little bit too hot, so I stayed by the edge of the bed and let her have the middle spot. And when Aric came back, he got in by the wall and put his arms around Meghan to hold her close to him.
And then all three of us fell back asleep, and then when we woke up again, we snuggled for a little bit and then we had sex.
All three of us took a shower together, even though his bathtub was a little bit too small for it. He had some decent shampoo and conditioner now, and I asked if he'd bought it special for us, and he said that Meghan had brought it over one time that she had her duffel bag and had just left it for when we needed it next. And I thought that was really nice of her to think of.
Meghan was feeling pretty bold, 'cause after we were done showering she walked back to his room without putting on any clothes or even wrapping a towel around herself.
They took their time getting dressed, and then Meghan sat on the bed with me and preened my wings and she managed to tease that stubborn primary loose, and then the three of us went downstairs and had a little snack, and we didn't want to have too much, 'cause we were all going to have brunch together in the dining hall.
We left a little bit early, 'cause Meghan wanted to put clean clothes on—she hadn't brought any with her to Aric's, since we'd all left together after the football game. And Aric said that we could meet her in the dining hall.
He had to drive around a bit until he finally found a parking spot for Winston that wasn't on too much of a hill, because the parking brake didn't work and he said that Winston would roll away if it was on a hill. I asked him if he was going to fix it, and he said that when he'd replaced the back brakes he'd left the equalizer bar out so even if he put new cables on, it still wouldn't work unless he also rebuilt the rear brakes again.
So by the time we'd gotten Winston parked and walked back to the dining hall, Meghan had gotten dressed, and she'd beat us there.
Since it was a weekend, they still had breakfast even though it was lunchtime, and they had the cook making omelets, and when I sat down I found out that they had had chocolate eclairs, too, but they didn't anymore because they'd all gotten eaten.
They'd had to get an extra table so that we had enough room for Cedric, Leon, Aric, and Aquamarine, and they'd pulled that up along with the rest of them, but it wasn't quite as good as one table, since the extra one they'd gotten had a top that was slightly lower than the rest.
We all took our time eating, and Sean kept getting up to see if there were any more chocolate eclairs, but there never were.
It was nice, too, that it was the first time since the election that we'd all gotten together and nobody was griping about Donald Trump and everyone seemed happy.
Outside, it was another beautiful clear day, so when we were done eating we went outside and sat on the quad and talked some more. Everybody was trying to figure out what they wanted to do for the weekend, 'cause the weather was so nice and even though everyone should have been thinking about how the finals were after next week, it was the kind of day where it's really hard to think about anything other than having fun.
Meghan said that if the weather was going to stay like this than we ought to go horseback riding tomorrow, and I said that that would be fun. I wouldn't mind if it was a little bit colder, even.
Aquamarine had to go back tomorrow morning, though, so she couldn't. And Anna said that instead we could go to Meijer, because they had a mechanical horse called Sandy and it only cost a penny to ride. That wasn't the same as riding a real horse, though, and I thought that it was supposed to be for children anyways, but Anna said anyone that wanted to ride Sandy counted as a child.
Then Peggy said that I'd claimed that I was going to ride Aquamarine but I never had, and we looked at each other and then I got up on her back and she took off across the quad at a slow trot, and it wasn't so easy to stay on her back, 'cause it was a lot smaller than Hoshi's. Plus Aquamarine had short legs and so her gait was shorter, and I had to shift around a lot to keep my balance.
And it seemed like everyone wanted to make a movie of it, so we went around a little bit at the same pace and then when we were both used to how it felt, Aquamarine picked up the pace a little bit to a fast trot and then she switched to a canter. And then when we came around by the sidewalk again, she went to a gallop, and I almost lost my balance and really had to work my wings to steady myself.
Once we got done showing off, I flew up and off her back and then the two of us just collapsed on the grass and started giggling like a couple of schoolfillies.
Then Cedric had to prove that he was strong enough to carry Leon, and the two of them went tearing off across the quad together. And Aric said that since we were doing piggyback rides, he'd give one to Meghan, but she said that she didn't want to right after she'd eaten.
Cedric wanted to show Aquamarine around town, and Aric said that me and Meghan could visit Fort Custer again. Although it wasn't 'again' for Meghan, 'cause she'd never been there before.
I wanted to go get my flight gear in case I wanted to fly some while I was out there and Meghan wanted to get a sweatshirt in case she got cold, so Aric said that he'd go get Winston and then meet us in the parking lot of Trowbridge. And before everyone went off, we agreed that we'd meet again for dinner at six.
I walked with Peggy and Meghan back to our dorm, and then when we got up to my room Peggy opened the door, and I could smell a familiar scent in the room, and I was about to ask Peggy if her boy spent the night but it wasn't his scent; it was one that I knew better but I couldn't quite remember who it belonged to. So then I didn't say anything but Peggy noticed how I had my nostrils wide and my ears perked, and she said it was my fault because I'd been the one who suggested she sit on his lap.
So I guess that's why they were both in a cheery mood this morning.
I got my flight gear and filled up my camelback, and then went out to the parking lot. Meghan had beaten me there and when I got to Winston, she opened the door and got out so I could sit in the middle.
While we were on the way to Fort Custer, Meghan used her portable telephone to look at the weather prediction and then she called Deanne to find out if we could ride the horses tomorrow, and Deanne said that we could. And then Aric told Meghan to find out if we could ride them at Fort Custer, and she did, and then she told Aric that Deanne had said that it would cost extra but I thought it was worth it. Maybe that mean lady would be out on the trail again and this time she wouldn’t be able to say anything because I would be on an Earth-horse.
So we decided that that was what we were going to do tomorrow. And Aric said that maybe we should go somewhere else today, just so that we didn’t get bored of the same place two days in a row, but I thought that there was a lot of Fort Custer and we hadn’t seen all of it, so seeing it two days in a row was okay.
And then I told him that when we were riding the horses we probably shouldn’t sneak off into the woods like last time.
Aric drove us around past the antenna farm and then he asked if we wanted to go hiking through the woods or just relax by one of the lakes or in a picnic area, and I thought that either would be okay, so I said that Meghan could decide. And she said that we should walk around first and then we could relax, so we took a trail that went around the lakes at the south end of the park, which was close to the horse trail.
And there was an intersection and we could choose if we wanted to go around the second lake or if we just wanted to go around the first one we’d started going around, and since it was a nice day we decided that we’d go around both.
We were almost all the way back when we came to where the path crossed the outlet of Jackson Hole Lake, and I went to the very edge and looked in the water and I saw a fish swim by and I decided that I wanted to catch one since we were here.
The lake was really murky and had lots of seaweed and cattails and lily pads growing, so when I flew over it low I couldn’t really see much of anything and I’d have to have a fish practically jump up at me before I’d be able to catch it. But the first lake we’d gone around, which was Whitford Lake, was a lot clearer and so I flew off that way.
I was circling around hoping to spot one that was shallow enough that I had a chance to get it, and I got lucky—there was a T-shaped dock that stuck out into the water and there were a lot of fish swimming around it, and I was sure that I’d catch one of them, especially since they were right up at the surface and sometimes even coming above it.
So I dove down and I was really out of practice and the fish were strong and slippery, but I got one by the tail and he was flopping around and struggling and I wasn’t sure that I could keep hold of him for very long ‘cause ponies don’t have good gripping talons like hawky birds, so I tossed him ashore ‘cause he couldn’t get away when he was on land.
And he was bigger than I’d thought. Aric came running over with Meghan following him, and I put my hoof on his tail so that he couldn’t flop too far away.
A bunch more people started to come over, too, ‘cause they’d seen me catch my fish, and I was really proud of myself for having caught him, but I actually wasn’t very hungry ‘cause it hadn’t been that long since we ate breakfast, so after Aric and Meghan got to admire him, I took my hoof off his tail and Aric picked him up and carried him back to the water and threw him back in.
Aric said that he hadn’t believed me when I told him that I could catch fish, but I guess that he did, now.
While we were walking the rest of the way around the path, Meghan asked me if that was how we caught fish in Equestria, and I said that most ponies just bought them from fish markets but it was still good to know that you could if you had to. And I said that it was a lot easier to catch smaller fish in streams, ‘cause if the water was shallow enough you could just stomp on them, and then eat them.
I’d also learned from a fisherpony in Chonamare that if you were going to have to live near a stream for a while, there were lots of ways you could trap the fish and then let them stay in the water where they’d be easy to catch until you were hungry.
It had taken us a bit longer to walk around the trail than we’d thought, especially since I’d gone fishing, and we didn’t have enough time to walk any more trails, so we went back by Lawler Lake and walked through the trees until we were close enough that the ground was getting squishy, and we sat on a log there and just looked over the lake. And after we’d watched for a while, Aric saw a cormorant diving down towards the lake and he came up with a fish, and he was much better at catching them than I was.
When we were driving back, Meghan asked me what I would have done with the fish if I had been hungry, and I said that I would eat the good parts and then leave the rest for other scavengers, who would be happy for the meal. And she said that fish were supposed to be cooked, but there were sushi restaurants that sold raw fish, so I couldn’t see what the difference was.
We paced a freight train on our way back to Kalamazoo— we had to wait for the very tail end to pass before we could turn on the 96 Road, and then we’d caught up to the front but weren’t far enough ahead by the time we had to cross the tracks again, so we had to wait for the whole train to go by again before we could go through Galesburg, and we got caught up a second time but then had to wait where the road crossed the tracks near Comstock, and it was slowing down then, so we caught up to the front one more time before we got downtown, and beat it under the bridge, but then we had to wait at a traffic light over the Kalamazoo River, and I saw the train coming onto the river bridge before we got moving again.
This time when Aric didn't see any spots that were open right away, he parked in the theatre parking lot, even though he wasn't supposed to. He said that campus security saw the truck there so often they probably wouldn't give him a ticket.
When we got to the dining hall, we found out that they had moved the extra table away so we had to move it back, and then everyone sat down and it was really nice to have Cedric and Leon at the table with us but I thought that Trevor might be lonely, and so I got up and went over to their table. He was reading a book of haikus and I didn't know what those were, so he explained how it was a type of poetry that had a very specific meter, and they were all really short. And he told me that before people had Twitter they had haikus, and then he closed his book and got his tray of food and followed me over to our table.
Sean was trying to convince everyone to watch the Star Trek movie with him tonight, and I said that I would and Aquamarine was interested in it, too, and then Aric said that maybe before we watched the movie we could watch real stars instead, because it was not very far out of town where you were clear of a lot of the lights and could see a lot, and everyone wanted to do that.
There wasn't enough seats for all of us to fit in Winston and Cobalt, unless Anna and Reese and Trevor stayed behind, but then I thought that if me and Aquamarine rode in the back of Winston and maybe someone else who wouldn't mind if it was a little cold, we'd probably all fit. And Cedric said that he could ride in the back, too.
It was already getting dark by the time we got out of the dining hall, and Aric told Peggy where Winston was parked, and me and Aquamarine and Cedric and Anna and Reese walked to Winston, while everyone else went to Cobalt with Peggy.
Cedric helped Aquamarine up onto the tailgate, even though she could have made it on her own with a little bit of a running start, and I just flew in.
And I told Cedric and Aquamarine about what I'd learned from riding in a railroad car and I thought the principle would be the same in the back of Winston.
Then me and her stood with our forelegs on the side rail of Winston, until Peggy arrived with Cobalt, and then we moved to the front so that any sudden stops wouldn't send us flying, and Aric drove out of the parking lot with Peggy following.
And it was a little bit disorienting to be looking at where we'd been rather than where we were going, and if I didn't know Kalamazoo really well, I think I would have gotten lost.
I thought maybe we'd go to a park like the Nature Center, but instead he drove northwest out of Kalamazoo until we got to a spot that was between two big fields and just stopped on the side of the road, and we all got out and walked into the field and looked up at the stars.
I pointed out all the constellations and stars that I'd learned last Thursday, and Aquamarine thought it was unfair that there was a pegasus but not an earth pony constellation. And Sean said that wasn't true, that there was one called Equuleus which was right by Pegasus, and he pointed it out to us, and it was very faint. And he said that there was one for unicorns, too, which was called Monoceros, and he showed us where it was, too.
Sean actually knew a lot about the stars, and he was happy to help people find things in the sky. And some of my friends who had always lived in cities were really amazed by how many stars they could see this close to Kalamazoo.
We stayed out there until people started to get chilly, and then we all got back in Winston and Cobalt.
On the way back, Aric went through the drive-through at Tim Horton's, and it was really funny when the woman at the window passed the coffee cups into Winston and Aric passed them right out the back window for us. And she must not have seen that we were there at first, 'cause she looked really surprised when he pulled ahead and I waved at her.
Aric parked Winston up at the theatre again and we all walked down the hill to Christine's dorm. Aquamarine was really impressed by the size of her room, because she'd never seen one like that at Michigan State.
It was a bit crowded with all of us, though, and a bunch of us had to sit on the floor, either leaning up against the couch or stretched out on the floor.
The movie was a little strange, since it was also set before most of the other ones I'd seen, so when Captain Kirk said that he was going to quit and let Spock be captain, I already knew that he wouldn't, because he'd been captain in the past movies, which were in the future. And then Krall broke the Enterprise with his swarm of little spaceships, and they had to find a way to get off the planet without their ship and they had to rescue their crew, too. And both me and Aquamarine saw South Pole who was one of the crew members who had been captured and we thought that they should have given him a bigger role. Leon said that he was the token pony, and he was kind of out of place because most of their aliens looked a lot like humans.
And in the end the crew of the Enterprise won, although they were on the Franklin now, and Kirk decided to stay as Captain after they built him a new spaceship, and Spock started dating Uhura again, so it kind of ended where it had started.
I thought it was pretty good, and Aquamarine liked it, too. And I was glad that I got to watch it.
Christine told me that there was another Star Wars movie coming out near Christmas, and she said that no matter where I was, I had to promise her to watch it, and I said that I would try. She told me that she would haunt me forever if I didn't and Sean told her that she wasn't a ghost so she couldn't haunt me, and she said that she'd find a way.
The three of us walked back to the theatre parking lot and got in Winston, and we had to wait a little bit for it to warm up, ‘cause the temperature had dropped and made all the windows foggy. And while we were waiting for the windows to clear, Aric said that we could stop at Tiffany’s and get some beer, but me and Meghan both thought that we’d had too much last night and maybe tonight we’d skip having anything to drink.
When he got to the end of Academy Street, Aric asked me if I wanted to drive, and I said that I would, which kind of disappointed Meghan, ‘cause she’d had her hand under my tail. So I nuzzled Meghan and then sat on his lap and put my hooves on the wheel and he ran the pedals while I used the shifter and steering wheel, and I got us into the driveway without running into anything.
We went inside the side door, and when I went up the stairs to the kitchen, Meghan got her hand on my rump again and I slowed down a little bit to make it easier for her.
The nice thing about not wearing clothes was that I didn’t have to get undressed, and as soon as I got in bed, Meghan pounced on me, and Aric was kind of left out until he got his pants off, and I slid over a little bit on the bed so that I could reach him.

Should be "Monoceros"
It was a it crowded with all of us - bit
I'm gonna start calling raptors hawky birds from now on.
The difference is fish guts and blood. :V
So this version of Star Trek Beyond had pony in it, eh? :3
lel Rogue One
Aric's comments about fixing the brakes brought back my youth. When you don't have much money, you have to have an old car & work on it yourself. I remember once a friend of mine and I changed the brake pads. We each thought the other guy had tightened the wheel lugs (Thus, children, we learn that no matter how hot the day is you shouldn't drink & work on cars. No, not even lite beer) Next day, coming home from work the wheel came off in rush hour traffic. This was exiting! The cops thought so, too -and they're professionals.
Thus I learned that being bored is not the worst thing that ever happened. In fact, bored is your friend -because it means the wheel didn't come off the car.
As to riding in the back of pickup trucks. My brother Ed had an impacted wisdom tooth & was washing pain meds down with whiskey while riding in the back of a pickup truck. Stood up to take a leak (seemed like a good idea at the time), the truck started up suddenly (driver's idea of a joke). He took a header & landed on the trailer hitch. Curled him up like a worm on a fishhook. Took him an eternity to remember he had teeth. never mind that they hurt. If I could time travel I'd go back & reassure him that in fact he COULD still father children (According to him, the issue was in doubt. Everyone took his word. NO ONE wanted to check) .
It's just such little contretemps that led folks to conclude that riding in the back of a pickup truck is dangerous. These days, it's illegal in a lot of places. I think Arizona is one of them, but IDK about Michigan. Although, now that I think about it, it's probably legal to transport livestock. Where they'd get in trouble is that the livestock was unsecured. Ah yes, part of the training for being a cop is "How To Kill Fun At 100 Paces"
Thank God!
Yep, that's how I catch my fish.
It's beautiful. *wipes away a single tear*
7868342 Somehow, I think the first aliens who land on earth are going to have an agent siddle up to them in the first week and ask, "Hey, if we get you a SAG card, can you play a bit part in this upcoming sci-fi movie?"
7868359 As a kid in trucks without air conditioning, it was preferable to ride in the back. You just had to not be stupid. Farms tend to weed out the stupid and un-cautious ones. Darwin rules.
7868437
Being in a high profile movie such as Star Trek is probably a real good boost to his/her career unless he/she is still a student like Gusty.
Who was with Peggy?
7868624
That would have been Leon.
Now Silver has others going with her to explore strange new worlds, to boldly go where the common public hangs out when they can.
Shrek, Ice Age etc have shown its possible to make realistic non human movies, because o the fur. Its that uncanny valley with the human rendering thats the problem, and when thats finally cracked, Hollywood, or Dave In The Basement will never have to use anothe non CGI actor ever again because the computers get ever more powerful and cheaper each year?
As for Spock and Uhuru etc, did the Enterprise as an armoured exploratory vehicle, have families, and so a creche etc anywhere?
7868879
Speaking of CGI actors...
I'm hoping for a SheHulk motion picture but uncanny valley/cost per second would need two or three orders of magnitude of improvement.
(My premise:
Introduce her character near the end of some Marvel Cinematic Universe movie then pick up there in 'Shehulk the motion picture'.
Make it a comedy where she has to deal with being 4/3rds sized and green full time.
The accident/incident that keeps her from morphing also lets her sense and break the 4th wall.)
Now would be a good time to get the rules for CGI actors in place.
The estate of Marilyn Monroe might get her work again.
7868991
As far as I can work out thre are two things to solve for realistic CGI. Three layer volumetric skin so that normal translucency effects occur during the true ray tracing, none of this pure surface rendering method, with pulsing blood flow in capillaries etc below, and second, as a part of that, true predictive out of phase muscular action, motion generation, taken from work on realistic robotics.
Whosoever tries and claims the patents for the ideas and algorithms on one, is going to wreck the advancement abilities of the other.
"That's racist."
When you get laid so hard that you wake up as the opposite sex.
Star Wars: Rogue One: A Star Wars story fits into the universe of Star Wars. It is much better than the Farce Awakens.
Fix it once? Fine. Fix it twice? ugghghh...
I took my car's dashboard apart to replace the bulbs with LEDs. Unbeknownst to me, if you replace the HICAS (Nissan's rear steering system) bulb with an LED, the lower power draw confuses the sensor and turns the light on.
That was over a month ago. Light's still on.
7869065 Or a Jusenkyo curse.
He wants to give her a ride again?
7868949 Sketicism is a bipartisan practice. Common ground is a good thing.
Silver: "Give it to us rrraww, and wrrrrigggling. You keep nasty chips."
You've got Star Trek movies with pony guest stars.
I want to live in your story, please.
It's to bad she didn't get the size and weight of her fish.
7869138
True.
7868650 OMG! What the hay?! College rocks more than ever. I wanna go over to this earth!!
7868281
I speak some Spanish. I am an Esperantist. When I initially saw Inverted punctuation my response was:
Since then, I write Esperanto and English with inverted punctuation. It is amazing how useful 3 additional punctuation-marks are:
¡Inverted Exclamation-Point!:
¡The Moon is not made out of cheese!
¿Question-Mark?:
¿What is the square-root 4?
⸘Inverted Interrobang‽:
⸘Why did you swallow a live gerbil‽
You should try inverted punctuation.
Is this the first time Silver Glow's actually said 'we had sex' or 'we fucked' or something like that? I mean, she's alluded to it like crazy and touched on various sex acts, but this feels like the first time she's plainly said anything like 'and then I gave him all the orgasms'.
7869733
Agreed! Makes me wonder what I missed out on.
7870427
And yet Ls, Js and Ns sound like Ys half the time.
Booster Spice:
Hollywood discussion on ghost actors
Isn't it Krall?
Every time silver goes horseback riding, this is always literally the first thing that springs to mind.vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/gravityfalls/images/c/c7/S1e13_horse_riding_a_horse.png/revision/latest?cb=20130220001305
That ... That is pretty good.
7868280 7868293
Corrections made; thank you!
7868342
I think you should. I know that I've got a lot of chirpy birds at my feeder right now. No hawky birds, which is probably just as well.
Who's to say that's not the best part?
Yup. You know damn well that they'd get a pony actor if they could.
Haven't seen it yet so no idea if it's any good or not. I probably should, for research you know. Hell, if I was a paid writer I could deduct that on taxes.
<considers getting a patreon account>
7868359
And then fifteen years later you're working as a professional mechanic and wondering what the hell went wrong in your life.
Taking a whiz from the back of a moving pickup truck isn't the best idea, especially after you've been drinking. I've never tried it, but I'd like to think that I have more sense than that.
I'm not sure if it's legal or not in Michigan. When I worked for a lawn service, we rode in the back of the truck, just for expedience. And I don't see a problem with it when going across fields or whatever. Probably not the best choice to get out on the highway with the kids in the back of the pickup, though.
7868399
And apparently IRL some icelandic ponies have learned to fish that way--stomp on fish, then eat it. I have not yet found a video of this, though, so it's just an 'I heard,'
7868409
7868437
Oh, yeah, you can be sure of that. A few ponies could easily get steady work in Hollywood for sci-fi movies, both as ponies and as other quadrupedal creatures. They'd probably also get a lot of work in motion-capture studios, too.
I've done a little bit of farmwork (thankfully, very little), and I do know that basically every machine on a farm is designed to mutilate or kill you.
7868553
No, South Pole is a visiting actor. He's got a work permit and so on.
7868879
Of course! Silver's a good influence on others. Well, a mostly-good influence.
It's possible to get close to human in movies; I think that in Shrek Fiona was really close, for example. Probably deliberately not close enough to hit the uncanny valley, though. I would think it might still be cheaper to use actual humans, though.
7868991
Yeah, I'm not sure how that would work out. There are rules in place for authors and such, how long after they've died before their books become public domain, but what do you do with faces?
7869010
I'd say this is pretty good.
7869065
Hey, when the sex was that good you don't care.
7869071
Haven't seen either, so I can't say.
7869072
Don't you hate it when you fix one problem and cause another? On the other hand, sometimes fate fixes things for you--the dash lights on my van started working again after I hit a deer. Then they broke again when I hit a second deer.
I think it's pretty obvious what I need to do now.
7869114
If the sex was good, who cares?
7869129
He's a college-aged guy. Of course he does.
Silver Glow and Gollum . . . not that different, really.
I want to live in my story, too.
7869138
I second that, good sir.
7869432
It wouldn't have been that big of a fish. Between one and two feet long, and no more than a couple of pounds. She's not likely to go for the big fish when she's catching them by mouth, 'cause they'd put up too much of a fight.
7869733
It's not a perfect Earth, but drunk college students sometimes have fun weekend hookups.
7870386
I don't think it's the first time she's said it, but she doesn't say it that specifically very often.
7870452
I'll admit to having done that on one of my trucks. The brake cables were cut already, so there was no point in putting the parking brake hardware back in when I did the rear brakes.
7870687
Having casual sex on the weekends? Hanging out with a pony? Digging a tunnel in a utility room just for the fun of it? So many things to do in college!

Yes, it is. Thank you!
7897979
I mean, that's a fair statement. It is unnatural. And it looks kind of silly.

I think Canada is a bit too far for a contraband tunnel.
7979721
It turns out digging tunnels is hard work, too, so we stopped after a few feet (partly because it was hard work and partially because we weren't sure how much of the wall we could undermine before things got dangerous). Blame staying up late and watching The Great Escape.

There's no way that there's that much sex in American colleges. Right?
8160226
Well, it kinda depends on the person, but yes. There certainly can be.

Ok I came across that image while rereading the story and why do I think Cadance put them all up to that? Flash looks bewildered, Twilight looks upset, and Shiny is just going with the flow. Shiny knows his wife and her kinky side.
8196968
Either Cadance, or else Celestia told Twilight that it was important to understand being an alicorn or something like that. I could see that level of trolling from Celestia.
I do love their expressions--that's what really makes the picture work.

Yeah, pretty much. 'Voter Fraud' is actually ridiculously rare to the point of it not being a factor, save in only the most razor thin of elections. And fun tidbit, of all the actual cases of voter fraud discovered in the 2016 election, the VAST majority of them were done for Trump. But still only a handful of cases.
Well, kind of, and also kind of not. Like pretty much all 'Ethnic' American food. From what I can tell, it started with a dish of 'French Style Potatoes', which was an actual French way of preparing them. However the 'French' part of that refereed only to the specific way the potatoes were cut. But ended up getting applied to any fried potato food.
Pinkie has yet to fully spread the ingeniousness of the word 'Nervicited' to all ponies it seems.
We can be having a fidgity pony in class, far too distracting.
Pony is too happy to say no to, even when it comes to getting woken up early.
Ponies share everything, even Camelback germs! Join the Pony way Peggy!
This is not going to stop Caleb from picturing Peggy in a cheerleading outfit in the least.
Yes, he would have 'hugged' her quite eagerly. While hoping he's at the right height discrepancy to really enjoy it.
Awww poor Caleb, misses out on the sweater coming off. But, on the plus side, Supermare! She needs to fly around with the 'cape' one.
More notes for ponies to fix, get the damn seasons changing on time, no more warm days after pony winter coats start growing in!
Pony Waffle Party! DO EEET!
She is not wrong about the complaining being kind of like bitching in the pub about your sports teams losing. Only, with added fear of the ways this loss can fuck you over hard.
Osmotic water purification! It's the main way we got potable water on ship, just purify the seawater. Though, not as useful when everything is so damn old and leaky that it just need to be purified again after sitting in the tank. For a few days after every resupply where they topped off the JP5 tanks, the water tasted like jet fuel.
Yeah, reading more about WWI will kill a good mood.
Nooo, pony fly-by can only make class better!
Being naturally skilled and used to thinking in three dimensions #pegaperk I've seen fics where pegasi are both the best and dealing with space, due to being used to moving in three dimensions. But also where they are the worst due to having so many instincts that screw up dealing with micro gravity and claustrophobia issues. Also, the whole 'naturally move in three dimensions' concept for better navigation in space could have led to Season 1 of Star Trek TNG being even stupider then it was. One of the writers kept pushing for a massive section of the ship to be devoted just to housing pods of whales who were aboard to be navigators due to that. The other writers all saw this as stupid, and that having that large a water storage would just result in massive flooding every time stuff started blowing up.
Gotta love crossover learning, that the stuff she's learning in one class so perfectly compliments and works with her other classes.
Bad humans, taunting the pony with good smelling noms when she can't pig out.
"In bed"
Silly humans, making the mares and stallions use different locker rooms makes it harder for team building exercises like showering and washing each other. And team orgies.
Of course they come to watch the pony cheerleader! And also to be ready to deal with any new assholes that try something at something with this many people. Would have been almost as fun as the asshole getting bucked. He moves towards the ponies, and suddenly gets slammed face first into a wall while an FBI badge gets shoved in his face.
Yes, little girls getting pony rides IS cute!
YAY! Pony Cheering Power FT literal Win!
And now the demand for more Ponies to come and do Pony stuff is growing, the Cuddlequest agents are working!
'Little Hoarse'
Notes for future Pony Servant Harems. Keep one really big human around to get you through crowds.
Everyone gets to be happy! Full laps for everyone!
Having to help your pony take off her underwear #ponyroommateproblems
Cheerleader fantasy time!

Question I've had about that, what would she call corvids? Crows/Ravens etc. They aren't really 'Hawky' birds, but they don't tweet either.
It was good, but had some flaws. Still an overall good movie that worked well with the larger Star Wars mythos. Characters are rather flat-ish but it seems to be deliberate to avoid things feeling too upsetting when they start dying.
Hungover pony is hungover. But still cute.
Well.... overflowing a toilet with pee, random still half asleep and hungover pony rambling.
Being able to make coffee easier with hands then with hooves #human perks.
I.... Silver... you... "Secret cabinet behind the mirror" YOU ARE TOO ADORABLE!
Meghan knows to prepare all places Mistress wishes to use for Mistress to use, and supply them with the proper Mistress approved toiletries.
Meghan is so converting to full on, I don't give fuck nudist.
Go Arc! You fix that truck till it's broken!
No more chocolate eclairs!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
HEY! Those riding horsies outside of stores are fun Silver!
Well, Peggy, Silver and Aquamarine should really ask Cedric and Meghan about how they feel about that..... ohhh you mean the actual meaning of 'ride' hard to tell given how 80% of everything said at that table is a euphemism.
And every phone on campus suddenly went insane with a deluge of 'Pony Alerts' about the pony riding pony they had to come see.
And now silly ponies giggling on the grass, just as cute.
Pony sniffer knows when Peggy has had fun.
And Peggy has realized this fact.
Silly Silver, wanting to rub in the stupid ladies nose that pony on a horse can ride the trail even more then pony just being pony. Your "Humans shall bow to me" side is showing.
Fish has triggered the ponies natural feline instincts to catch all things moving.
And pony grabs the fishy! Whoooo! Go epic hunter pony!
Yeah, a pony just randomly starting to hunt and catch other animals is... definitely an all new sight for people.
Aric, by now you should know to always believe the pony when she says she can do something.
Practical. just stomp the fishy for noms.
SEE! SEE! She admits it! She craves feasting on raw flesh!
Difference with sushi? Less guts, bones, specific types of fish, added rice/spices/etc... But yes, still disgusting.
Yes, must follow where pony goes!
"I am smart pony who knows how to tame human vehicles! I learns by pouncing down on a train and subduing it to my will!"
Yeah..... seeing a pair of ponies in the bed of a pick up waving at you go through the drive thou is quite the surprise.
And Silver does not get the idea of this being an AU to the Trek she's already seen. But then again it was a stupid idea to begin with.
So... did they just let him be a pony, or did they try to stick some extra makeup on him? But yeah, interesting having ponies around for extra roles in Sci-Fi/Fantasy movies. OH OH OH! How long till we get all Pony versions of works! Granted, NOTHING will ever beat the pure artistic purity of perfection that was Elcor Hamlet.
Seriously.... Ponies must produce pheromones that trigger libidos or something...

The real problem is likely election fraud, like what apparently happened in NC in the last election . . . or some of the things that Georgia did, as well (although that’s more voter disenfranchisement rather than outright fraud).
Realistically, it’s probably a safe bet that any Americanized ethnic food is significantly changed from the original. That’s something I need to play with more in these types of stories, Americans either Americanizing pony food or ponies interpreting American food (like the hayburgers and hay fries). Especially if the ponies don’t say that they changed the recipe . . . “This Whopper has a grass patty!”
She does. With all Pinkie says, though, it’s no surprise that not all of her phrases have been adopted all over Equestria.
Especially since she probably fluffs her wings a bit when she’s nervicited.
Exactly! That’s why she would be such a good exercise buddy; you’d never be able to say no to her.
It’s a good way to either build herd immunity, or make everypony sick.
He totally will. Having Peggy come by with Silver Glow is really the highlight of his mornings.
He’s probably just a bit too tall to get the full enjoyment, but still . . . also, I just thought of this, but he’s probably got so much school cred right now, ‘cause all his classmates on the bus see him hanging out with a college girl.
Yeah, he really missed out on that. And yeah, superpony would have been epic. She could have done a Superman outfit for Halloween, now that I think about it. That would have been pretty awesome.
I know, right? Stupid Earth weather.
Yeah, exactly. And we’re still finding out about how many ways the election fucked us all over, too. Well, I guess we’ll see what the new crop of Congresspeople can do about it.
Probably having jet fuel leak into the potable water supply isn’t ideal. While I haven’t seen any research on the topic, I doubt that drinking jet fuel makes people perform better.
The whole thing was just a clusterfuck of epic proportions, one that didn’t end well enough, so we had a re-do a generation later.
I don’t know my European history well enough, but I can’t help but wonder how many things they were still rebuilding that had gotten destroyed in WWI that got destroyed again in WWII.
It would certainly brighten up a dull lecture. And if she picked the right classes to fly by, the professor could work her into the lesson.
I think that the microgravity problem came up in Arrow 18, and it’s probably not the only one. I do agree that they’d be much better at three-dimensional thinking than grounded ponies, since they’d be thinking that way since they were foals.
Why whales? I mean, dolphins would be more space-efficient than whales, so that would be a more logical choice. However, since they have to breathe air, you’d have to make sure that no matter what, there was clear air space above the water, and during some maneuvers, that would be a problem. Water’s sloshy (and when it sloshes, it breaks stuff, as I’m sure you know quite well). A smaller aquatic animal that doesn’t breathe air might be a better choice, like a shark or something. Or, birds. Or bats.
Or batponies.

Either way, pilots of aircraft presumably get pretty good at three-dimensional thinking . . . carrier pilots have to land on a moving target, after all, and they generally manage to do it.
That’s the whole advantage of a broad education. There’s always overlap, things that can be applied to something else. Heck, that’s almost certainly why I write like I do: I’ve got a broad spectrum of interests, and generally try to mash them all together and see what kind of overlap there is.
The one night they have a good meal, and she can’t eat it. #cheerleaderproblems
That’s how fortune cookies work. It’s the law.
It’s a dumb rule, all because humans are so silly about wearing clothes and no public nudity and all that. Which does make you wonder what kind of culture shock some of the humans visiting Equestria are having. Probably some of them adapt to it, and others are taking showers in the middle of the night when there’s nopony else there. And there probably are some Equestrian colleges that have more private shower arrangements, mostly the ones designed by stuck-up unicorns.
Having the football game end with Mr. Salvatore getting to arrest somebody for doing something dumb would be a real win in his opinion. He’s probably super disappointed that he didn’t get to see Aquamarine buck that one guy, so maybe he’s hoping something like that will happen again, and he’ll just wait a little bit back and put the cuffs on after Aquamarine’s got one or two good kicks in.
And that is how the cuddlequest will quickly conquer earth. Every little girl gets a pony friend, and in about five minutes it would be all over for humans.
There can never be too many ponies, and that’s a fact.
You can’t beat a really big human for getting through crowds.
It’s the best kind of party!
It’s a pretty good reason for her to not wear it, honestly. At least Peggy’s a trooper about it.
It’s not a fantasy; she really is a cheerleader.
I wonder if they’d be the exception that proves the rule? Chirpy birds, hawky birds, ducky birds, and crows. They belong in a class of their own. (In that system, owls probably aren’t counted, either. I assume vultures would fall into the hawky bird category.)
But . . . feeling upset when characters die is good storytelling!
Pony is always cute.
I don’t think it could happen, not the way that toilets are designed. But when she’s half-asleep and hung over, it probably seems like it could.
Well, she’s not wrong. Pony coffee makers (if they exist) are probably a lot more hoof-friendly than the human ones.
Meghan is 100% ready for the pony takeover.
She is, which will make her fit into Equestria quite well. You know damn well by the time she gets over there, she won’t hesitate for a second to use a pony group shower.
This is something that I’ve managed before. Also the part with leaving the equalizer bar out, I’ve done that on one of my crappy trucks. There were no parking brake cables on it any more, so why bother with the rest of the mechanism? Simpler to put it together without those parts.
That’s the problem with getting to the dining hall late on days that they have them. In my experience, the chocolate eclairs lasted about ten seconds after they were put out. It was a regular feeding frenzy on those things.
Dangerous, too: if Aquamarine of Silver Glow ride it, there’s a chance that somebody who sees will instantly get Diabeetus.
Yes, they mean ride in the non-sexual sense.
Also, I don’t know how Cedric would feel about it, but Meghan probably wouldn’t be terribly upset by random horse lesbians.
And five minutes later, YouTube starts having server crashes due to traffic overloads.
The cuteness has been doubled!
There are some things that you just can’t hide from the pony sniffer. And shouldn’t try; it’s not like Silver Glow is going to be upset about it.
As well it should be. It would really show that lady if Silver Glow was on a horse . . . her mind might just explode.
Hunter pegasus mode engaged.
Poor fish probably has no idea what just happened. Here he was minding his own business, and all of a sudden he got grabbed by hooves and carried up and out of the lake. And none of his fish-friends are going to believe him when he tells them about it, either.
Just the bizarreness of it would mess with everybody’s heads. One of those moments where you can’t believe what you’re actually seeing.
Silver rarely lies about her abilities.
I’ve seen videos of real horses doing that with small birds, and I’ve heard that some Icelandic ponies know how to catch fish that way.
It’s true! Yummy raw fish.
But the bones are the best part--they’re what makes it crunchy!
The pegasus knows the way.
And most importantly, she’s learned how to brace herself so she doesn’t hurt her leg this time around.
Not to mention that they’re back there with an actual linebacker as well . . . two adorable ponies, and a huge black guy that looks like he could run through a wall if he had a mind to, riding in the back of a crappy pickup truck. Not something that you see every day.
I don’t even get reboots half the time, and I at least have a better concept of what they are.
They probably just let him be a pony, since that’s good enough for ‘diversity’ in their cast. Stuffed him in a pony-sized Starfleet uniform and called it good.
You’d need a few more pony actors to pull it off, but doable. I think that one that might be epic would be an all-pony Cats, with the ponies wearing cat costumes. Also, since pony ice skating is a thing, you could do some X on Ice shows that would be pretty damned epic, and if you get pegasus actors, you could put some really cool flight stuff into a show.
Well, they might.
