It's a tale that's been told hundreds of times, isn't it? The average Joe lives a boring, mundane life, wishing for something greater. Then, one day, something happens that sends him to a foreign world, giving him a fresh start and a new perspective on life.
You've always wished that would happen to you. There's a show with talking ponies you like quite a bit that would be just perfect for it, too.
Be careful what you wish for.
