* In case you don't recognize the name, we're talking about R2-D2 here.
Rarity is going to kick him were it really hurts if her doesn't get his hoof off of her this instant.
"Excuse me Mr. Breeze but you have something in your teeth. It's been distracting me since we first met."
4150709 I think she's less offended by the hoof than his breath.
4150712 I think she's pissed about that ugly shade of green his coat is.
Moth,
You forsook Fyvush Finkel, 93, American actor (Picket Fences, Fiddler on the Roof, among many others).
"His butt is so horrifyingly square!"
4150787 Generally speaking, if I don't know who a person on the list is, I don't include them. And I honestly have no idea who this guy is because I don't know anything about theater.
4150803 I understand. One point of correction though, Picket Fences was a TV series by David E Kelly (Ally McBeal, Boston Legal). He won multiple Emmys for Supporting Actor.
4150867 I'm aware of what Picket Fences was. I'm also aware I never watched a single second of it. So again, no clue who he was except what Wikipedia says.
(Which is that he was primarily a theater actor.)
Rarity: "Rainbow said something about shipfics being a problem, so you've got ten seconds to hit the road. Got it!"
Kill a hipster - save your hood!
Rarity is reeling back from having to look at the five o'clock shadow Zephyr has.
Also, R.I.P to more good people.
