December 6
Waking up on the floor was a little bit strange. And I found out that when people aren't confined, sometimes they move around more in their sleep, 'cause Aric had rolled all the way off the mattress and he was on the floor right next to it, sort of snuggling up to the edge and that was cute. Meghan must have pushed him off, 'cause she was closer to the edge than the middle, and the two of them had taken the blankets with them and I didn't have any. I didn't really need them, 'cause the apartment was a little bit too warm and I still hadn't figured out how to change that.
I was kind of getting used to it, though, 'cause humans liked their houses hot, but I was a little bit worried that when I got back I wasn't going to be used to the cold and I'd be the only pegasus wearing a hat and scarf and the other ponies would make fun of me.
I scooted over and I didn't go under the covers but just nuzzled Meghan's back through them until she woke enough to roll on her back so that I could put my head on her breast, and then I dozed off again until she decided that she had to get up and pee, and that woke up Aric too, and he was really confused that he was on the floor.
Meghan kind of paused when she came back, and I saw her looking out the balcony window, even though there wasn't really anything there for her to see. And she kind of rushed back a little bit, and said that I probably should have closed the curtains, so Aric got up and went over to the window and looked out and said that nobody could have seen us because there wasn't anything over there.
So Meghan finally slid back out of bed and then got up and went over to the window, too, so that she could have a look, and she stayed behind Aric until she was sure that he wasn't lying, and then she stepped off to the side and by then I was feeling kind of lonely with both of them over by the window so I got up and went over there, too.
It was a really pretty day—the snow was still fresh, and the sun was just coming out. And you could see the lake through the trees and that was pretty, too. I thought that maybe in the summer you wouldn't be able to see much of it, though, 'cause of the leaves on the trees.
Aric said that we ought to go back to bed and welcome the morning the right way, and Meghan asked him if he could remember the last time he hadn't thought about sex, and he said that wasn't a fair question since she was naked and I was naked and anyways he was a guy and Meghan said that she was going to go out on the balcony and get a handful of snow to cool him off and he told her that it would be better if she waited until after to do that because he was worried about shrinkage. So we went back to bed, and after Meghan kept her word and got a handful of snow and even though he begged her not to she did it anyways, and that was really funny. He probably could have run away or fought her off, but he didn't.
Then the three of us crowded into the shower and Meghan was nice enough to let him warm himself up first.
After we got out, we all dried off but nobody got dressed, and me and Meghan went into the kitchen to make breakfast.
Since I had lots of food at my apartment now, we had to decide what we wanted to make for breakfast. Mister Salvatore and Miss Cherilyn had gotten out my waffle maker and put it on the counter, so we could have waffles and I decided that I wanted to make an omelet, too, ‘cause we could all share that.
This stove was different than the one I’d had at my old apartment and at first I thought it was broken, ‘cause when I turned on the knob it didn’t make any little popping noises and no flame came out of it, even when I turned it all the way up. But then the coil of metal that the pans sat on started to glow, and that was how it was supposed to work. I thought that that was really clever, that the stove could work without a flame. It was probably safer for me, too, but I still thought it would have been a lot smarter to put the control knobs on the front and not behind the burners.
I had to have Meghan help me figure out how the knob should be set, ‘cause you couldn’t tell just by looking at it if it was making a lot of heat or not so much, and I didn’t want to burn the omelet. She said that it should probably be at a kind of medium heat but we’d just have to see what it did when it started cooking, because not all electric stoves were the same.
At least the waffle maker still worked like I remembered, so I didn’t have any trouble with that.
We had to make a couple of adjustments to the stove to get the temperature just right, and I let Meghan do that so I wouldn’t accidentally burn myself reaching across the burners.
Aric was planning to eat at the counter, since I didn’t have a table, but then Meghan said that we could sit on the floor and it would kind of be like they ate in Japan—I guess they don’t have tables over there, either. And then he thought that if we were going to, we could also use the futon as a table, ‘cause it didn’t have the mattress on it, so Meghan and Aric put down the ugly towels that they’d gotten to keep food from falling on the floor.
We had to be a little bit careful, ‘cause the futon frame had slats and if you set down a cup between them it would just fall through, but it worked pretty well.
Then once we were done eating Aric said that we could go to the hardware store and get some clips to hold the lights up to his house, and then we would put the lights up. And I said that I wanted to look for a birdfeeder while we were there, ‘cause I’d been looking out the big window and thought it would be a lot nicer if there were birds out there. I probably could have asked Jeff if I could have my old bird feeder back, at least until I went back to Equestria, but that would have been kind of rude.
So Meghan and Aric got dressed, and we went down to Winston and then drove down the street to the hardware store. And it was really interesting inside, ‘cause they had lots of tools and paints and whole rows of little bins that held nuts and bolts, and those had pictures on them so that you would know what was inside. There were lots of different kinds, because they were all meant to be used in different ways. I didn’t really know much about them and so it seemed kind of overwhelming to me, and Aric said that it was kind of complicated to explain, but he said that he could name every one that they had.
He looked around until he found some hooks that he thought would work, and were easy to install without using tools, and so he got some of those, and then we went looking for birdfeeders.
They had a couple of different ones but I didn’t like them that much, and he didn’t either. They were a bit smaller, so that they’d have to be filled up more often, and they didn’t have as big a perch for the birds. And I wanted one like I’d had before, anyway, so he said that later on we could go to Meijer, but first we were going to hang the lights.
So we all got back in Winston and he drove back to his house, and he went upstairs to Meghan’s room ‘cause that was the one on the front where you could open the window and walk out on the porch roof. And I told him not to walk too close to the edge ‘cause he could fall off and crash into the yew bush, especially since it was slippery with snow now.
Well, he had to go right to the edge so that he could show me how the little clips worked, although I’m sure I would have figured it out on my own eventually. So I started putting them in place while he went back through the window into her bedroom and then he came back out front with the boxes of lights that he’d bought.
He didn’t have to untangle them like John had had to, ‘cause when you got them new they were all neatly rolled up in the box. But he did stretch them out so that they wouldn’t tangle when we went to put them up, and after I’d gotten all the clips in, I flew down and started hanging the lights.
We didn’t get to test them out, ‘cause he didn’t have a cord to reach from an outlet to the lights, except for his really long extension cord that he didn’t want to use for that because he might need it for something else. So he decided that he’d get one from Meijer that he could use just for the Christmas lights, since we had to go there anyway.
David and Angela had come out while I was putting up the Christmas lights, and Meghan had taken a little movie of me flying up with strings of lights. If she kept getting movies, she was gonna be really busy putting them all on YouTube. I hoped that they wouldn't get mad for her putting up so many movies of me.
Angela had made us all lunch, which was really nice of her. And we all ate it around the kitchen table, even though they had to pull it out from the wall and Angela had to sit on David's lap 'cause there weren't enough seats for everyone. I offered to stand up but they said that I deserved a seat and she didn't mind sitting on his lap anyway.
David said that since Aric had decorated the outside of the house now he felt obligated to get a Christmas tree for inside and maybe a nice, traditional Nativity scene for the mantle. Meghan said that they didn't have a mantle, and David promised to improvise. And he said that we needed Christmas stockings, too, which are special big socks that you can put gifts in.
Aric asked if that meant that he wanted to come to Meijer, too, so that he could get everything, and David got all excited and asked Angela if we could go, and she sighed and said that we could.
So after lunch we all got in Angela's Oldsmobile—I said that we could take Winston and I'd ride in the back, and Aric said that was a good idea, but Angela said that her car would be better, and it had seats for all of us. Aric thought that if we got a lot of stuff, it wouldn't all fit, and Angela asked him how much he was planning on buying and he said he wasn't thinking of getting all that much but you never knew what you were going to find.
Aric sat in the seat behind her, 'cause she was shorter and had her seat forward, and I sat in the middle, and we went back to Meijer, and went right back to the collection of Christmas decorations.
I thought that David was going to buy a tree, but he just walked around looking at things and finally he said that his preparations must be made in absolute secrecy and told us to go somewhere else and then asked to borrow the keys to Angela's car. He said that he'd send a telephone telegram to Aric when he had gotten his materials, and then we could come back. I thought that was kind of strange, but both Angela and Aric said that that was what David was like, and it was best not to question it.
So we went looking for the birdfeeders. They had been where the Christmas decorations were now—that was called a seasonal section, and so it had themed things for sale. And I guess maybe not so many people thought about feeding birds in the wintertime, 'cause the feeders were now back with the other pets and you had to go hunting to find them, but they had the one that I liked, so we put that in the cart and also a couple of big bags of seeds, so that I wouldn't have to get more later. If I had some left over, I could give them to Aric for his feeder.
And then we all watched the fish for a little bit. They had small fish that were lots of bright colors and even some kind of glowy ones. Most of them were decorative fish that you could just watch swimming around, but there was also a big tank on the bottom that was filled with goldfish that were meant to be food. Aric said that his parents had some in a pond behind their house and the herons came down and ate them sometimes.
I'd never thought of having a pond for a bird feeder. That sounded like it would be pretty convenient, although I'd like bigger fish than goldfish to eat.
We got an extension cord, too, and then Aric went and looked at a rack of movies that they had. They'd put displays in the aisles to tempt you to buy things while you were on your way through the store, and he said that he was looking for a new copy of Lord of the Rings, 'cause he had a Blue-Ray player, which was a special movie record player. We looked, but couldn't find it and so I asked him what it was about and he just stopped and looked at me and said that I had never seen Lord of the Rings and it was his duty to change that. Meghan said that it was kind of long, and he said that it was time well spent and we were going to have to marathon it because that was an American tradition. And he said that he was going to find it.
But he didn't get his chance to right away, 'cause David sent a telegram that he had gotten his supplies and we could come back, so we went over to the Christmas aisle again and looked at the different kinds of Christmas stockings which were too big to fit anybody's feet. But that was so you could put more presents in them.
After we'd paid for our things and were walking out, David suddenly turned to Angela and asked her if he could have a penny, and she rolled her eyes and reached into her pants and found one and he went running off to the mechanical horse they have called Sandy, which is only a penny to ride. Aric said that if anybody asked, we didn't know him.
He was having fun, so I asked Angela if I could have a penny, too, and when he got done I put a penny in and rode Sandy.
It wasn't as much fun as riding Hoshi, 'cause it didn't go anywhere and just slowly rocked back and forth, plus it was made out of metal and that felt a little weird on my butt. But it was still fun, and a lot of people stopped to watch me, which was actually kind of embarrassing, especially since I had to keep shifting my wings to keep my balance. Sandy was narrower than a real horse and her saddle was slipperier than a real saddle.
And Meghan came over and as soon as Sandy had stopped she put another penny in the slot and so I got another ride, and when it was over I got off just in case somebody else who was watching wanted to ride Sandy.
A little boy came over but he wanted to ride me instead of Sandy, and his Mom grabbed him and pulled him away and scolded him which I thought was pretty mean. I would have given him a ride, and I wouldn't have even asked for a penny.
While we were walking out to the car, Aric said that it would be funny to see me on a mechanical bull, and I asked if they had them at Meijer, 'cause I was willing to try. He said that they had them at some bars and he'd have to look and see if there were any in Kalamazoo that did.
When we got back to Aric's house, David wouldn't let us see what he'd bought and then after he'd gotten it unloaded he said that we weren't allowed in the living room until he was finished with his masterpiece. Aric said that was okay because we were going to go back to my apartment so that we could hang up my birdfeeder and we were also going to go to Best Buy.
So we went back to my apartment and I hung the feeder on the balcony—there was a little hook in the rafter for it—and then I filled it up with seeds and then we all got back in Winston and drove to Portage.
He had to look around some, 'cause there weren't any where they were supposed to be on the shelf, but they had lots of other shelves that had movies on them, and it wasn't until he'd looked at them all that he decided that they didn't have any, so he said that we'd go to Target next, 'cause it wasn't too far away. Target was a lot like Meijer, but it was a little bit smaller and they didn't have as much food. They did have Lord of the Rings, though, and so he got it and then he said that maybe he should get The Hobbit, too, so I'd have the full experience.
Meghan said that it would be smarter to wait and see if I survived the first movie marathon before having a second, and he was kind of disappointed by that, but he eventually agreed that it would be smarter. He still bought it, because he said that he didn't have a Blue-Ray record of it, and even if I didn't want to watch it, he did.
It was getting towards dinnertime, and so we had to decide where we wanted to eat. Aric had food and I had food and there were also lots of restaurants if we didn't feel like cooking. Meghan said that she wanted to make something and I wanted to help, and Aric said that he'd stay out of the way if we did.
She said that she'd been planning on making a casserole, and she had all the ingredients back at Aric's house, so we went back there after Aric asked David if it was okay for us to come home. He said that the nativity scene wouldn't be ready until tomorrow but the tree was.
Well, it turned out that his idea for a tree had been one of the giant light bulbs wrapped in a daisy chain of shiny plastic trees and I thought it was actually pretty clever. It didn't look quite as pretty, 'cause there was just one big light instead of lots of little ones, but we could look at the outside of the house for the strings of lights.
Me and Meghan made the casserole, which was a vegetable bread pudding. She'd found the recipe on the internet and had thought that it sounded really good.
The boring part of making casseroles was waiting for them to cook, and you just got hungrier and hungrier as they did, 'cause you could smell them but not eat them yet. And then when it was done cooking you had to wait to eat it, and so after it had been in the oven for only five minutes I said that I was gonna go flying around the block to get a little bit of exercise.
I had to be careful, 'cause all of my flight gear was still at my apartment, and it was dark out. But the streetlights gave me enough light to see by, and I knew the neighborhood, so I stayed a little bit above the treetops and just flew a big circle out to where the dirt mines are and then back, and with the lights on the outside of Aric's house it wasn't too hard to find. And when I went back in there were only ten more minutes to wait.
The casserole was big enough that everyone could share it, and we sat the same way as we had for lunch. And it was really good, and filled me right up.
Angela and Meghan washed the dishes after dinner and I wanted to help but they wouldn't let me, which was kind of frustrating.
After dinner, Aric said that we ought to watch his other favorite Christmas movie, which was Die Hard. Angela said that it wasn't a Christmas movie, and he said that it was because it had a Christmas party and so it counted. And David agreed with him, and so we all crowded together on the couch to watch it.
Well, I didn't know what to think about the movie. There were some bad guys who took hostages and threatened them but what they really wanted was to rob the skyscratcher and then John McClane decided that he was going to fight them, and so he had to shoot them one at a time, and there were lots of explosions and McClane got hurt a lot but in the end he finally wound up killing all the bad guys, who weren't smart enough to run away when they saw that things weren't going their way. And the police mostly didn't trust him, even though the police are supposed to help people. I guess in the end it all worked out, though, 'cause the bad guys wouldn't get to hurt anyone any more, and the police finally figured out that McClane was a hero. And I also learned to stay away from helicopters because they could shoot at you.
I thought it was kind of strange that all the Christmas movies had robbers in them but the Christmas pageant I'd seen in Cripple Creek hadn't, and Meghan told me that most Christmas movies were not like these and maybe I should see a proper one, and Aric said that Scrooged was good, too, and she said that wasn't what she meant, and she was going to further my education into human Christmas customs, and Angela agreed with her and said that tomorrow night we'd watch a proper Christmas movie that everyone would enjoy.
Then Aric said that we ought to go back to my apartment and christen it again, and I said that we already had a bunch of times, and he said that one more time wouldn't hurt. Meghan said that he just wanted to see her make breakfast naked again, and he admitted that that was a big advantage to my apartment, 'cause nobody had to wear clothes if they didn't want to.
So Meghan went upstairs and got some clean clothes to wear tomorrow and when she came back down she told Aric that she'd gotten some clean clothes for him, too, and then we got in Winston and drove back over to my apartment. And once we'd turned off Stadium Drive, Aric said that I could steer and use the gearshift.
It was a little bit more difficult, 'cause none of the roads around the apartments were straight, and Winston didn't behave like a Go-Kart, but I still made it to my building without crashing and I even put Winston into a parking space but then Aric had to fix it 'cause I hadn't gotten between the lines like I was supposed to.
We went upstairs and Meghan and Aric got undressed for bed right away, and the three of us sat together under the covers for a little while just talking and then me and Meghan decided that we'd let Aric be in the middle and the two of us would see if we could wear him out.
Hooray! Silver Glow got the pony ride! (It's only a penny at Meijer.)
I definatly want to see silvers reaction to lord of the rings!
I'm more interested in the trip to Disney myself.
So Meghan is staying in Eric's house for the Winter Break, I see. More convenience for everyone, I guess.
Silver Glow, you're riding enough things. You have issues.
Also, pony riding a pony.
The eternal war between being mean to your kid and human etiquette.
The best kind of breakfast, I guess.
Has Silver Glow watched any of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies? I wonder what she would think of Captain Jack Sparrow?
Make damn sure it's the full editions and not the plebeian theatrical cuts.
Though even then, they're inferior to the book. Peter Jackson and Co's passion and respect for the material is obvious, but they made a lot of compromises in the medium transfer.
Upon getting a BR player, the first priorities should be to experience:
Ghost in the Shell (the 2.0 version has the original on the disk if you don't like the CGI parts)
Ghost in the Shell: Innocence
Akira
Blade Runner
The complete Metropolis (which is only mostly complete. The uncut reels they discovered in Argentina still had some segments that were too degraded, but it's the closest to being complete. The Moroder version is an abomination)
Advent Children
Tron and Tron Legacy
Ben Hur
El Cid
The Ten Commandments
Seven Samurai
Throne of Blood
Sansho the Bailiff
Ran
EVERYONE needs to experience Akira some time before the 2020 Olympics.
we kept loosing our koi to Raccoons. you could see natural selection in action. All the brightly colored ones got eaten.
Also, best Christmas Carol adaptation is the 1984 one with George C. Scott.
So... Muppet Christmas Carol? :D
Silver's problem reminds me of some lines from an old Alan Sherman song about suburban living
"Did you fix the thermostat?"
"No, I don't know where it's at"
But, hey, she knows some FBI agents. Surely the heirs of J Edgar Hoover can find it, I guess this is a cultural thing -cloud homes probably don't have any.
Favorite Xmas movie? Try Home Alone.
Oh, no, no, no, no, NO! Bad Aric! Evil Aric! Silver Glow is a poet! You don't introduce a poet to Tolkien with the goddamn movies! Shame on you and your house!
And I hope Meghan insists on A Christmas Story. That would really contribute to Silver's human education, which has really been lacking. I mean, all those math classes and only one humanities course? Not even general history? Anyway, she ought to watch that. Or A Charlie Brown Christmas, because it'd be hilarious when everyone tried to explain the gospel quote to her and she already knew it.
7931410
Or lunch, or dinner. It's an absolute delight to behold to object of your affection in the buff before you.
I second A Christmas Story and may I suggest Jingle All The Way.
I've said it before; "Lucky Aric is lucky".
SelectaVision was a very short-lived format of video recorded one a grooved record from the early 1980s. It used a stylus and everything.
7931480
¡No TINO (Tron In Name Only (Tron Legacy))! It is bad enough that she watched the Farce Awakens which is SWINO (Star Wars In Name Only) and STINO (Star Trek In Name Only (Abrams)).
7931747
Eh disappointing that they retconned the Tron 2.0 video game, but it wasn't horrible.
Biggest disappointment was the 3rd was cancelled.
Silvers getting too used to haveing hot and cold running freinds on tap. She might need a bigger house back home.
Before setting off to Meilner, they shouldve played the theme tune. by Weird Al.
Right, its Christmas. time for movies. What Christmas movies do we know of?
Die Hard.
Uh..
Something about a rabbit?
Puppets?
Oh, Die Hard 2.. Oh wait, thats New Year.
Lord Of the Rings? Could always do a compare and Contrast against the earlier TV Rotoscoped version.
Then again, in the USA I suspect people dont know about the True Christmas Movie.
Hogfather.
In a universe of infinite complexity, humans still managed to find a way, to be bored.:DEATH:
If it isn't the stop motion animation of Rudolf I will be VERY upset. I want to see her reactions to it. They'd be adorable.... Or hilarious, either way a good time. (plus we'd probably get adorable insights into pegasi learning to fly)
I would have liked to have heard what she said to her son.
That it wasn't polite to ask to ride people who were from far away even if they looked like a horse?
That implies a remarkable respect for the furry foreigners.
It also implies something special happened during first contact.
(Aw man! Can you imagine the TV coverage!!!)
(Eh. Maybe I'm making a big deal about nothing.)
The Muppet Christmas Carol? Please let it be The Muppet Christmas Carol!
Maybe they can settle the debate over whether or not Beaker flipped off Scrooge.
Might I recommend Muppets Christmas Carol for Silver's viewing pleasure?
Also, a quick querry: does the exchange program only include ponies? A griffon student would be awesome.
A Christmas story best Christmas movie ever!
So when Aric comes over with a penny and asks for a ride...
silver should ask if she can take some driving lessons and get a licens befor getting back.
I mean after getting a pilot licens...
All told, Scrooged is a fairly good modernization of A Christmas Carol, though is very much of it's time as well. Other Christmas movies she could watch: Miracle on 34th Street, Christmas Vacation, The Santa Clause, Jingle All the Way, Ernest Saves Christmas, Home Alone and of course It's a Wonderful Life
7932340
Sadly, she won't say "In for a penny, in for a pound."
7931913
TINO does not fit in the same universe. Every time it breaks continuity, it physically hurts. I get so angry that ¡I want to scream! Let us look at the the Prequels versus the Farce Awakens:
The Prequels are all about how Darth Sidious (Sheev Palpatine) took control of the Republic and reforged it into an Empire with him as Emperor and destroyed the Jedi Order. It was totally consistent with the Original Trilogy. I loved it.
For reasons which escape me, many found the politics boring, did not appreciate the continuity, and rather than it being about the rise of Darth Sidious (Sheev Palpatine), wanted a remake of the Original Trilogy focusing on Ben Kenobi being Luke Skywalker, Anakin Skywalker being Han Solo, and Padmé Amidala being Leia Organa.
The Farce Awakens throws continuity to the 4 Winds and remakes Star Wars: Episode Ⅳ A New Hope. Every time it broke continuity, ¡I fumed! It surprises me that I did not have a cerebral hemorrhage from the high blood-pressure.
¿How many continuity violations does it take for making your stomach knot? Are you one of the people who like HINO (Highlander In Name Only (Highlander # 2))? You you cannot tell that HINO does not take place in the same universe as Highlander # 1, you are beyond all hope.
7932761
We're not talking about the new Star Wars shit. Aside from ignoring the video game, Tron didn't do anything like that.
Though they did focus more on visuals than story or characterization. Tron himself wasn't even in it except at the very end. I particularly like them using actual unix commands. And how it introduced a lot of folks to Go.
7931704
True dat.
That's... not... Oh, never mind.
It's just Silver Glow being Silver Glow!
7933960
They might've. That long ago, I probably wouldn't remember it.
"And wings don't help at all over such a short distance. Hypothetically, I mean."
As far as Silver is concerned, that'd be a pegasus feeder.
Meghan is not a male.
7958843
Unless she's holding her toy betwCorrection made, thank you!
7931361
7931372
And you do!
7931392
Disney is fun for everypony.
7931410
Yeah, she can't get a short-term lease like
Silver GlowMister Salvatore can.A boob fetish and a riding things fetish.

I know, right?
Wouldn't you like a breakfast that both of your lovers made while naked?
7931469
No, she hasn't. Which is too bad; she's really like the ships in them.
Gusty has a crush on Johnny Depp.
7931480
They were. All 12 or so hours of them.
Yeah, although I think that he really had to. Maybe if he'd managed to convince the production companies beforehand how big a hit they'd be, he could have gone with four or more movies, but I don't think that they wanted to risk it, unfortunately. Still, I was quite pleased. There were a few things that I didn't like, but overall I thought that the movies were very, very good.
7931495
Yeah, that's the trouble with being a brightly-colored fish, especially in a really small pond. There isn't anyplace you can go to hide.
7931520
I'm not sure which one I saw, to be honest. It was for school, and it could have been the '84 one; that might have been the most current when I was in middle school.
7931552
Unfortunately, no.
7931561
I had one cheap apartment (a duplex) that didn't have one. The downstairs neighbors were the ones who had the thermostat, and I just had to live with whatever they did. And yes, pony homes in general don't have thermostats, cloudhomes especially don't.
7931619
Somebody ought to have given her the books as a gift.
Mission accomplished!
7931704
Absolutely agreed.
One out of two . . . I've never seen Jingle All The Way, interestingly.
7931736
Wasn't the record on one of the Voyager spacecraft also a movie? Or pictures? Or something like that?
7931957
My second-favorite Christmas movie. Bad Santa is my most favorite.
I know. It's sad, isn't it?
7931961
Oh, man, that would have been a good one. Too many Christmas movies; too little time.
7931983
You know, stranger danger, don't go jumping up on strange people you meet at the mall, even if they're furry and cute.
The TV coverage would be amazing. And then the countless hours of analysis by talking heads who know nothing. "Twilight twitched her ears; she must be opposed to a peace deal."
7932017
Unfortunately . . .
(Also, I say that Beaker did flip off Scrooge.)
7932060
A good choice, but unfortunately there are too many Christmas movies and not enough time.
Currently, it's pony-only; however, negotiations are certainly underway to include other sapient Equestrian species. Possibly even dragons.
7932105
7932340
She just might give him one.
That's one thing that she never wound up having time to do, unfortunately.
7932599
I remember liking it. I think I was on a bit of a Bill Murray kick; didn't Groundhog Day come out around the same time (I mean, within a year or two)?
Christmas Vacation's a good one; I always liked that one. I don't know if she'd really appreciate the slapstick comedy in Home Alone. There's just too many Christmas movies and not enough time.

Aric wishes he was a pound. If you know what I mean.
(oh, wait, I just remembered the other meaning of 'pound.')

It would be really smart to have a little backyard fish pond, so she could catch one whenever she wanted to.
You know, I bet there is at least one person who likes Blue Herons/other bird that fishes so much that they do have a fishpond to attract birds.

She'd probably be nice and let the herons and cormorants have a few.

The gold-plated record plays like a record, but has still images magnetically encoded:

Gotcha. Cool!
Yes, Silver, and if you watch things like Red Tails, Battleship, or James Bond, you'll see that we happily arm all our vehicles. You should feel lucky you got away with kicking that car's bumper...

People eat goldfish?
Of all the things Silver Glow has said, and have been beyond adorable, this is the most adorablestest thing I've read from her. Just picturing her in her winter fluff, wearing a hat and scarf with puffy red cheeks as the other pegasi are giggling around her. Next to her sitting up on the Speedway sign, this is the next thing I need to get someone to do arts of.

She does have a good point, though. Getting accustomed to the temperature of human houses and whatnot, and then she goes back and pretty soon she’s up there on a cloud, shivering.

On man.... the issues that could cause. Just imagine the bill the first time a dragon mistakes a jewelry store for a snack bar.
Those books need to be part of 'Earth 101', they pretty much set the foundation for pop cultural depictions of fantasy.
The Muppet's one. Though, there is also one with Patrick Stewart in it, and well, that instantly makes it amazing.
The only real "Why the fuck did yo do that!?" change I can think of off hand is the complete 180 in how Faramir handled Frodo. Most of the rest I get why they had to change it, or the change kind of worked. That just.. made no sense.
Silly humans really do not know how to properly do things. Snugglepile buddies should stay snuggled together, not roll away in their sleep.
Awwww, poor worried Silver, no want be the cold pony everypony laughs at. Just claim the hat and scarf are fashion accessories.
Pony has trained her servant to present the boob pillows on demand, even while asleep.
Worst nudist ever, always so worried about someone seeing, only to later get over it.
Aric has a point, not really fair to harp on him for thinking about sex with two naked hotties around him. But at the same time... yeah there is a ridiculous amount of sex.
Snow down the pants... you.... are.... EVIL!
I'm guessing 'electric stove' was also on the list of pony home criteria. Was Silver just unlucky enough to be the first pony they had that ended up with a gas one?
No Silver, whoever told you that is wrong. They DO have tables in Japan, they just sit on cushions on the floor rather then chairs.
Bird feeders, a must have for all pega-homes.
Hmmm, just chance that Meghan grabbed the most pega-accesiable room in the house?
She's got time after the month to relive epic pony times through uploading silver movies.
No, No silver, they will not be mad at there being so many cute pony being cute videos. But, you worrying about it is so cute.
ALL PRAISE HE PONY! She shall have seats, she must be tended to first!
No, no.. Go with Silver's idea, pony riding in the back of a pick-up truck is never not a good thing.
"Don't question it" only works for Pinkie Pie, because knowing the answer to that would likely rend the sanity from your mind.
New idea, pega-feeders. Also, more reason to want to see Silver visit Japan. Communal bathing, less of a nudity taboo, and see her reaction to koi ponds.
How did this take so long? It's like, trans-dimensional law of reality, anytime ponies have extended contact with humanity, they MUST be shown LOTR!
YAY! Pony riding the mechanical pony! Everyone watch the cute!
But, but, silly adult human, ponies like being ponies and getting petted and giving rides. Just, such a nice always running issue here. The pushes between them enjoying attention and affection, even from strangers, that is more in line with how we treat pets, and people trying to not give in and treat them like such cause, you know, sapient and all that. Really, people just need to work out, pony likes pet, just ask the pony first to pet them. Also, they like treats.
Silver on a mechanical bull would be fun, but I want to see AJ riding one!
No, no Aric, the Tolkien Hobbit movies are NOT the 'full version' just, no, those really screwed things up. If you want to show her that, go with the old animated version.
Well, that is a unique tree alright.
Meghan is even going instinctively pony in diet. Just get her over to Pony land already.
In response to the 'It's not a Christmas movie" thing, I quote the Nostalgia Critic.
"Fuck you, it's Die Hard!"
"Rob the Skyscratchters" so cuuuute
No, no, the helicopters won't shoot at you. Unless you aren't up in Alaska and look like a wolf at least.
Yeah, Pony needs to see more classic holiday movies. She missed so many..... First choice for me would have been The Grinch. The original one, not the Jim Carrey version.
Well, who wouldn't want to see her make breakfast naked? Though again, I think it would be sexier with her just wearing an apron.
