The Man. The Legend. The World's Strongest Writer

T

Shining Armor is a complicated stallion. One would not believe that a pony of the Royal Guard would have such refined taste beyond simply 'food'. Unfortunately, his parents do not share his palate for the exotic.
But as chance would have it, his parents are going away for the weekend, leaving him with the perfect opportunity to eat something that he really loves.

She gave him a chaste kiss

Be honest, how difficult was it for you to add that word in?

Also, nice "twist". At some point, though, your reputation really precedes you.

Oooooohhhhh. (Reads three times) I get it!

lol, goddamn it Shakes, :rainbowlaugh:

Nicely done.

that last paragraph...

"Twilight!?" he yelled, in both surprise and irritation. "What is wrong with you!? I was going to eat that later!" He slammed the door and walked back downstairs. "Now it's going to taste like carrots!"

"Now it's going to taste like carrots!"

Nice.

At first I didn't understand, I thought it was related to a kind of obscure idiom or figure of speech. I eventually came to the conclusion that a Logical Examination of Writing and Diction had to be conducted.

"Twilight!?" he yelled, in both surprise and irritation. "What is wrong with you!? I was going to eat that later!" He slammed the door and walked back downstairs. "Now it's going to taste like carrots!"

I guess you could say that Twilight really snatched that carrot up!

Misdirection!? Don't carrot all for that kind of tomfoolery.

Edit: yes I do. Bravo.

Shining got back home and began to put away the groceries he had bought, only to find that the carrot that had been on the counter was now conspicuously absent. His sister, Twilight Sparkle, was home on summer break from Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. He wondered if perhaps she had taken the carrot as a snack. He walked upstairs and opened the door to Twilight's bedroom. His sister was on her bed, on her back, stuffing herself with his missing carrot, and it was not into her mouth.

Oh dear. Also, suggestion, in, not into.

"Twilight!?" he yelled, in both surprise and irritation. "What is wrong with you!? I was going to eat that later!" He slammed the door and walked back downstairs. "Now it's going to taste like carrots!"

And GODDAMMMIT

Dammit, all that build up.. for that :facehoof:

I still laughed.

Y'know what? I could make a comment like everyone else, but fuck it. This is more important.

He looked over his list in his hoof and began to buy items to place into his own basket. A fresh carrot he already had. He kept his eyes peeled as he made his way around the perimeter of the produce area. He picked up a nice cucumber, and an even better zucchini.

Not far from those were the summer squashes. He looked through them until he found one that appealed to him. He looked at the butternut squashes beside them. He was intrigued, but it wasn't on his list, and he was doubtful that he would be able to get any use out of them and ultimately passed on getting it.

Zucchini is a summer squash. Butternut squash is a winter squash.

How do you aleays find a way to surprise me? How?

DBZ Abridged Piccolo would’ve been better.

Sadly, the sex tag kind of gave away that there was a terrible carrot-related punchline coming.

I was amused by the brief, terrible marketplace scene, though. :ajsmug:

9327219 Huh.
Upon cursory research I found that I was referring to Yellow Squash, which, up until now I have always just called 'Summer Squash'. So today I learned something.

If he is such a culinary master he should just add some more ingredients to make it taste better with carrrot

I find abridged Piccolo's to be a little too short and harsh. It's all in good fun either way though :rainbowlaugh:
I'm a giant nerd myself, so as they say it takes one to know one. :twilightsheepish:

Oh god
oh god.....
Ohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgod
oh god

It took me a second to figure it out.

Ugh.

... That's all I can say, really.

What a lame joke.

I love it.

Ugh.

You almost had me fooled.
Almost. But dear lord, that last line... :rainbowlaugh:

I see what you did there

I think I'm noticing a pattern no I'm not, we both know the next story of yours that I read will throw me for a loop at the last sentence here...

You son of a bitch. :rainbowlaugh:
