Hi. I'm just some guy, you know.

E

Pinkie Pie has a clever plan to keep Time Turner from discovering the secrets of the fourth wall. A contribution to the Feghoot Festival contest.. If your tolerance of bad puns is low then read no further. Failure to heed this warning means it's not my fault, it's your's, and I get to laugh at you as you groan in pain.

Didn't expect the last bit for lyrical inspiration

Really? You don't think I foreshadowed it properly? I thought I gave it away as if I used a neon sign.

9740581
You did. I just didn't think song lyrics might provide inspiration

My favorite Feghoot (written by Dr. Asimov himself ) ends with a song lyric. On a new colony world they don't have enough building materials, so they use rammed earth to build roads. But you need huge jacks to remove the ramming equipment. After that the road never needs any maintenance. So...

...you hit the road, jack, and don't come back no more.

...he warned me, and I didn't listen...

(lays down on the floor and curls up into the fetal position)

...I didn't listen...

*chortles evilly*

Truly, very inspired and so very funny!

Well done!

"mind afternoon nap" looks like a typo for "mid afternoon nap". And "I just doesn't" should be "It just doesn't".

Wow, usually, feghoot endings are a lot shorter than a whole song chorus! :pinkiehappy:

If I actually knew the song before looking it up... I dunno whether I would've figured it out!

...

"macro-scale quantum phenomena"

Ah, yes, that explanation! Always nice!

WOW!! Good one. Very unique.

Oh hey! A new story :o

As far as inspiration goes, the levy has run dry.

Is this going where I think it's going?

I even got all fancy and named her Chevalier, though nopony ever called her that, they all just called her Chevy.

Yes, yes it is.

Seeing it coming or not, it's always fun to see Pinkie defend the fabric of reality. Thank you for a delightful little story, and best of luck in the judging.

Hey, I did salt the key words in reverse order, and I never came out and used cry, I just implied that. Not that any of that helps if you recognize "American Pie." But it's good to hear from someone who saw it coming - hearing from those who just didn't recognize the song has made me feel old and out of touch.

You are bad, and you should feel bad! In a good sort of way. :raritywink:

"What are you doing, Rarity?" Twilight Sparkle peered into the Carousel Boutique, where Rarity was knitting up a storm. "It's summer, and you're knitting a jumper suit?"

"It's Pinkie Pie," said Rarity, not stopping one click of her knitting needles. "She's attracted the attention of the Doctor, and I'm determined to win him back. I believe he has an affinity for pink, so I acquired as much of the rare Pink Marino sheep wool as I was permitted, on account that the ownership of it is restricted. I believe I have just enough to cover my summer coat, and win his heart."

"Oh, that explains it," said Twilight. "You have a white short coat and a pink yarn ration."

And you DIDN'T submit this to the contest?!!! *bows, muttering about not being worthy*

9748795 Oh, I've just been running around and leaving a few Feghoot comments on certain stories. I've been hoping to trigger a little recognition with all of the puns I've done, but so far, not one pun in ten did.

9748801
Oh, good one. I'll be using that one.

“Don’t you sass me, Boy.”

Ok that was pretty funny.

leave it someplace where anypony could get their hands on it

:pinkiegasp:

I'm surprised that you got in the whole chorus. I mean, I saw it coming, but I wasn't expecting so much of it!

My thought process matches FOME's in its entirety. The levee having run dry was unusual enough to draw attention, and the Chevalier Chevy was indeed a giant neon sign, as you put it :twilightsmile: But for all that, I completely missed the setup for the other much more obvious pun, with the Apple family's daily deliveries and their diversionary potential for inquisitive academics! :pinkiehappy: So I got both the experience of "I can see where this is going, and yes, it did", paired with "Oh wow, I didn't see that coming at all, but I really should have!"

Plus there were several other fun lines - I particularly liked "causey-wausey effecty-wecty stuff" - and some nice ideas too.

So yes, many thanks, and best of luck in the contest!

Well, I definitely made the noise.

Oh, well done. Well done!

Prime Feghoot material for sure. Thought I had it all figured out with the Levee, then the Apple a day snuck in.

you used Hotblack Desiato's sound system to announce its approach.

I tend to prefer feghoots that have less-telegraphed endings, but this was still quite funny. Well done.

Feghoot aside, wouldn't this run the risk of him noticing that applebucking blatantly follows cartoon physics?

Ssssss, that was a good one. Not painful, but a good light burn all the same. Yeeesss, that was nice. :pinkiecrazy:
