Needling Haystacks


Doctor of Physics and sometime Adjunct Professor. Warning: thinking required.

Three weeks after "Newbie Dash", Rainbow Dash finally hears the story of how Spitfire got a nickname she doesn't like to say out loud. I'm sure you've seen like 10 of these by now, but an acquaintance supplied a gag I couldn't resist. Rated Teen for mild language and one sexual reference.

If pigs could fly she'd be bacon wrapped.:raritystarry:
fire roasted if it was a dragon.:moustache:
Oh Oh Oh If she was left in the fridge for a month she'd be meatcake! :pinkiehappy:???
:twilightoops: really!

Someone needs to take it to Twitter!!!

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I still think Shitfire is more hilarious! But this is fricking priceless!:rainbowlaugh:

"She always says that," he whispered, prompting rainbow dash to chuckle into her hoof.

Although this technically could work, I assume that you were using the proper noun disambiguation of the word. Aside from that, great story! :twilightsmile:

7199525 ? I see the missed capitalization, but I feel like the pronoun antecedents are pretty clear. That's why RD is referred to by name... or is that what you meant?

7199430 I had to look up Pinkie's, I must admit.

7199498 Yeah, I saw the Shitfire story, too. XP Either one works, really. I'd say it exists in a quantum superposition of these two states, and possibly others, until it's observed. XP


7199481 I have a twitter, but I almost never use it. Not sure if that's what you meant.

7199627 George Carlins Meat-Cake might be meat, could be cake, It's been in there so long you forgot what it was, could be another life form.......meatcake.:pinkiegasp:

You lost me at quantum superposition:rainbowhuh:

7199660 Ask me after a panel at a convention to learn more! Or you know, your local college physics department. Or don't ask, whichever. XP Obviously, I can't actually get into something like THAT in a convention panel...


7199658 Well, I assume you know it's also euphemistic slang. Not familiar with that Carlin bit. I mostly know his work on Shining Time Station. XP

7199700 Look up George Carlin and prepare to LYAO his work was timeless:pinkiehappy:

Grand, we both had the same incredibly lame pun :rainbowlaugh: and I doubt it's coincidence, seeing how the joke writes itself :raritywink:

7207694 ...If you're on one of the same FB brony groups as me, I may have actually got the pun from you. PM me if you think it is: I couldn't find the originator when I went back to write this, so I couldn't give them credit. If you can show it's you, I'll append that to the author's notes.

7207849
Nah, I'm most likely not. I just found it was a funny coincidence is all.

7211905 Noted. I only wrote this 'cause whoever I saw that name from, I was like "This is too funny not to write something on."

It is one of the more obvious plays on words, if you've got a bit of a dirty mind.

7212303
Doesn't take all that much, obviously :raritywink: still, a funny story!
