There's something about old soup that just doesn't have any real appeal. I'm not talking, "We made it two days ago and we have to have it again because there's so much of it," old soup. I'm talking about, "Hey look I found a can of it in the pantry and it's six months past the expiration date, well nobody else is going to eat it," old soup. Well here I sit with that particular can of old soup warmed and ready for consumption. As I look at the steaming bowl I can't help but think that

Well, it's Thanksgiving and I have to say it's been quite the day. Spent time with family. I ate some food and I watched some movies. I provided some commentary on that and one of the football games and muted the sound and watched as the commentators and various players made some rather bizarre faces.

Is it just me or is the crystal map version of Charlie from Charlie's Angels who summons a couple of ponies to do some friendship quest kind of dumb? No seriously, outside of the first mission they went on the map is kind of dumb. The first mission they met up and broke up the pony version of the Orwellian town and restored individuality to the ponies there (at least for awhile). This was a good mission. It was a mission well worth taking. After that though, not really quite so

So, I kept hearing about the What About Discord? episode this past week. Mostly it was from various forums and the general consensus seemed to be that it was a middling to bad episode. So of course I had to watch it. I mean what sort of person who writes about random stuff would I be if I didn't watch it? It's a Discord episode also, I mean it couldn't be that bad right?

Richard M. Nixon was the the 37th president of the United States. Before that he was Vice President under Dwight D. Eisenhower, a member of the house of representatives, a naval officer, lawyer and periodically during his life an author. He appeared on a few television shows including The Mickey Mouse Club, Laugh-In and various late night television comedy shows like Jack Paar or The Merv Griffin Show. When asked on (if I recall in 1968) one of said shows if he planned to announce that he

I wonder what would happen if Princess Cadence's pregnancy turned out to just be a really bad case of gas after eating brussel sprouts. I mean think about it, it could happen. What would happen if Danny DeVito got in on this show? I mean he's done it before. He was the Grundle King years ago. I think Danny would bring a lot to Friendship is Magic, I mean he could literally sit there and talk about how horny he is and be a unicorn with an amazingly long horn. He could laugh in that laugh

Something bothers me about Nightmare Night. No, I'm not talking about when you get twenty frat guys to drink tequila and have them follow it with a milk chaser (you may be mopping for hours). I'm talking about the holiday that is the Equestrian version of Halloween. Something about this holiday bothers me and in fact still bothers me and I think I've figured it out. In fact it has everything to do with Princess Luna.

There has been concern in some circles about the viewership ratings for My Little Pony. According to various sources the overall viewership of the show is down from the previous year by anywhere from one hundred thousand to two hundred thousand viewers per week. This has raised some concerns for those within the fan base that, a slide in viewers may mean a slide in overall popularity of the show and that it may get its plug pulled sooner rather than later. Personally I'm not so

Princess Celestia recently got the royal treatment in an op ed piece declaring that she was not a boring character. Well, I for one think that this notion is hilarious. Of course, she's not a boring character! The truth is, any character can be exciting, engaging or even interesting if handled properly. The problem with Princess Celestia is that she, for the most part, has been handled in a boring way.

You ever notice that the parents of any of the main characters of MLP really aren't that engaged in the lives of their children or vice versa? Now I realize that in some cases like with the Apple family where the parents are dead this would happen. We know that Rarity's parents abandoned Sweetie Belle at Carousel Boutique because they had a vacation planned that they haven't gotten back from yet. We know that Twilight Sparkle's parents exist but, outside of that we know very little about
