And so we know the reason Grogar was so damn angry.
He was in a salt withdrawal.

"So, to get through the mountains, we'll need to go through Switchback Pass, up Dead Mare's Climb, into the Valley of Certain, Rocky Death—"
"You guys have fun with that. I'll just take the stairs."
"What stairs?"
(ibex is already halfway up a sheer slope)
"... What the actual hay."
That is the best way to avoid predators. When even humans go not worth it, you know you got it made.

Discord grappled with addiction following his impersonation/acting stint. Like Christian Bale hospitalizing himself from method acting.
"Ibex is GOAT! That mean Greatest Of All Time! Ibex prove this to you! Ibex spit on gravity and walk up big rock!"

I know it's too much to hope for, but I wouldn't mind if the conclusion of Daily Equestria Life With Monster Girl saw more site writers using ibex. They bring in an outsider perspective, and grant access to a portion of the land which didn't see much exploration. Cultural conflict... it's going to be there, especially for those ponies who venture up. (Any ibex willing to come and stay down is probably weird enough to adjust -- eventually.) And magically (at least as I have them), they're distinctive enough to add an interesting, often subtle and effective number of abilities to the mix.
But that's after the story concludes. There's a good distance to go.
Today, I'll be trying to work on a fresh chapter, with some of that taking place while my mother is in the dentist chair. The title will be Wayward.
That's... pretty amazing. They barely slow down going on to the dam.
Good luck at the dentists.

You can see the kid thinking "WTF Mom!!" before starting up.
We don’t have flashy unicorn spells here but even our mundane Earth is filled with magic for those willing to look. I could make it up there with my monkey fingers and climbing shoes but I would certainly want to be roped up to try it! They’re good but not perfect; I wonder how often they mess that up and fall to their death? The link also works to bring your own world to life, I can just imagine their stability magic allowing them to gallop up a vertical or inverted plane.
I get that you’ve been distracted recently but I’ve been missing Cerea and her world.
5360388
Nah, those are the ones we gene-spliiced. (It was for the production spidersilk. And just because I intend humor, doesn't mean it isn't also true)
My friend is populating a world for a tabletop campaign with magical wildlife. I suggested Ibex.
"What magic do they..."
"No magic. Just a regular-ass Ibex."
In Hebrew, the word for ibex is "ya'el." The lady who hammered a tent peg into a villainous general's head was named for this awesome animal, presumably because she, too, was born without fucks to give.
5360298 Are you getting them to check your tooth issues while you're there? (I hate to nag, but I come from a German family, and it's built into the genes) I know better than to think you *both* can have dental work at the same time, because somebody has to drive after all, but checking should give you a better idea where you stand. Or chew.
5360464
Can’t. The only way to get seen as a new/emergency patient here is to show up at 8:00 a.m. and wait. That has to be a separate trip.
So just to kick this in: the dental visit is now frozen. They can’t do anything, including cleaning, without faxed medical clearance from her cardiologist. Call was made, waiting on response.
I was told it’s necessary because we’re dealing with a student. But they still need permission.
ETA: They can proceed as long as she’s given antibiotics first.
We don’t have any.
So now they’re looking.
5360441
It's not like they even need magic to be awesome.
5360482
Yep. Also, I love your profile pic. Where'd you find it?
5360485
It's from S1E3, The Ticket Master. The scene where Rainbow is trying to butter up Twilight to get the ticket and Twilight is having none of it.
5360479 That's an absolute truth. Tooth cleaning and dental work spikes the bacterial count in the bloodstream, and bacterial infection of the heart valve is an enormous complication. (I've had family go through this)
5360493
Oh. Thanks!
5360505
They are going to proceed: 2000mg of amoxicillin in tablet form, and then they’ll start. The dental school is adjacent to a hospital, so they may have scavenged next door.
Here’s the bad news.
They want her to antibiotic-load before every dental procedure, until we get paperwork which says otherwise. And antibiotics aren’t exactly over the counter drugs. I now have to set up with her primary prior to any dentist trip, and emergency help may be close to impossible.
Added steps.
So, am I the only one going "given a few thousand years, they're going to lick that dam down...?"
5360530
That's dam, not damn.
5360570
Fixed, ta. I think that clearly says something about my normal mindset that it was automatically spelled that way without conscious thought...
5360530
I feel like natural water erosion is more likely to be an issue than the goat licking.
5360525 A course of Amox. is fairly cheap and has a long shelf life. Get *two* to start with to keep one on the shelf to rotate through as needed. Cuts down on the emergency trip to the drug store at 2AM and the stress. And you may be able to get the script renewed by phone through the doctor's office since this is a well-known issue. (Don't tell the doctor's office when you call it in, or they're going to say "Well, just use those and we will put in a script order on the next episode *click*")
Oh, and frequently the doctor's office will have extra 'sample packs' of medicine the drug rep. gives them to talk up their product. I don't think we could have made it through college and early child-rearing years without them. (Immune compromised wife and two of the four kids)
Worker to supervisor: "We have sheep climbing the dam, sir."
Supervisor: "W...what? How high?"
Worker: "All the way to the top."
Supervisor: (turns pale) "But that thing is 157 feet high!"
Ibex: "So?"
Headcanon: Ibex in Equestria are renowned for their skill in high construction projects and ironworking like the Mohawk in Americaland

Heh, heard that one before.

I have a friend who saw this and she told me she immediately applied a very deep, very raspy RRRRRRRRUSSIAN accent to it.
I asked her if it was Nikolai from Black Ops Zombies.
She immediately said yes.
My work here is done.
5361106
Was not aware of this.
Am now aware of this.
My day is now immediately +7 to whatever Happiness level it would have been.
Thank you.
It is a fact, no matter what you've seen, nature can one-up you.
5361156 Say Moose and Squirrel. (In honor of June Foray's birthday, which was a few days ago. She would have been 104 by now.)
Skyrim horses got nothin' on these dudes.
Wow. :D
Ibex: this "laws of physics" business is all very interesting and I wish everyone the best of luck, but could we opt out? Sometimes there's salt and calcium in cliff faces, you see.
The lord: go nuts.

DWK is pretty great, and he fills the void left by Drowning in Horseshoes & TBBBAP. Or even "My Two Bits," if you remember that series of parody shorts from 2013. At some point they disappeared from YouTube.
