Lyra, like all other Ponyvillians, has never used the Internet. She never imagined that it would be possible to connect all of the computers in the world. But when Bon Bon surprises her by getting Internet access for their home, Lyra likes what she finds on the Web. And she can't get enough.

Bloody brilliant. All the mustaches
oh and first. Didn't find anything bad to note, didn't really search for anything though. Favorited
Alright, we've got comedy, innuendo, absurdity...
Yep, it's all there. Well done.
I took time to look at it again and i kind of think you use a tad to many ponyfications of names (humanists was great tho), but all the suggestions to... well screwing were brilliant (oh and the powdered sugar
)
cute story hope you continue
Okay... that was pretty random. Pretty decent fic though.
GET THIS ON FEATURED RIGHT NOW
This made me laugh my plot off.
Eating out, Doggie Style, 7pm.
Sounds like a date to me.
The mint-green unicorn interrupted. “That new restaurant downtown? The one run by those Diamond Dogs?”
If you, um, don't want to use this idea, may I stealz it pweez.
"Being Human"
Oh geez, that's... okay, I'm not sure what to say about that! That show...
Well, that was worth a chuckle or two.
HAHA R34!
Lol favorited
That was the single most innuendo heavy passage I've EVER READ....EVER.
Do you ship them in this? I really can't tell.
Glissandos in D-flat minor? Is the red pegasus playing the trio melody from Viktor Widqvist's march "Mälardrottningen"?
Also, I've always been fascinated by that key, with more flats than there are notes in the scale. I still find it easier to play than anything with sharps though. Must be a brass player thing.
1372089 Wow... you really looked into this, didn't you?
Actually, I'm not a musician at all. I just needed some music jargon and I happened to have pulled "glissando" out of a list of music terms. And the only purpose of "D-flat" was the setup for the joke. So really just a case of coincidence. 
I wrote a very long response but between fimfiction, my computer, and an auto-logout, I guess it got lost as a cloud of 1's and 0's floating along somewhere in cyberspace...
Anyway, very well done!
What caught my attention was the fact that the key of D flat minor is a rather uncommon key to write music in. Keys have a certain number of lowered (flattened) notes or raised (sharpened) notes, for example F major in which the note B is replaced with B flat, or G major in which the note F is raised to F sharp. It is said that F major has one flat, and G major has one sharp. Likewise B flat major has two flats, and E major has four sharps.
Well, D flat minor has eight flats; Since there are only seven notes to flatten, poor B has been flattened twice - first to B flat, which in turn was flattened to B double flat (which in fact is the same note as an A).
The more flats or sharps in a key, the more changed notes a musician has to keep in mind, and thusly tend to think difficult to play. therefor tending to shun.
A glissando (pl: glissandi (I think)) means to seamlessly slide between two notes, playing each and every microtone in between. A true glissando can only be played on a slide trombone, or with some work on a violin or a steel guitar. On other instruments you can imitate a glissando by playing each and every note in between the start- and finishing note. One example of such an imitated glissando can be found in the clarinet part in the beginning of Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue".
Since a lyre has one string for each note it can produce, and thusly can't play a "true" glissando, I assumed it was "imitated" glissandi you were referring to. Something that takes skill, and would therefor earn Lyra's appreciation.
The march "Mälardrottningen" contains small glissandi and quick runs and movements in the light woodwinds, mimicking sunlight glittering on the many water surfaces found in and around Stockholm. "Mälardrottningen", Queen of (the lake) Mälaren, is a nickname for Stockholm.
The march starts off with intro, first theme, and bass solo part in the key of A flat major (which has four flats and is a rather common key). Then comes the "trio" part where the composer changes to D flat (a very common key change), but also from major to minor, resulting in D flat minor. In the finale he changes back to major, but remains in D flat.
The same composer, Viktor Widqvist, has also composed "Under blågul fana", Under the Blue and Yellow Flag, which has become the national march of Sweden and is the only non-american march quoted in the show tune "76 Trombones" by Meredith Wilson.
Sorry for the wall of text. I guess it's an occupational condition - I've been both a music teacher as well as a professional military bandsman.
I really enjoyed this. So don't worry about the musical jargon part. You pulled it off well and I hope for more reading from you.
And then the B was flattened. Twice.
That was cocaine, wasn't it?
Shameless and so entertaining, and yet, still PG-13. Excellent work. It was all i could do not to laugh out loud.
