But but... ponies are vegetarian D:


(before someone mentions hot dogs or that sandwich in a bird in the hoof, ponies have a lot of human stuff so meat substitutes probably exist too!)

Except that one of the best kept secrets of the food industry is that meat substitutes are actually just meat. ;)

I dunno, I'd think fear of PETA burning down their main office would prevent them from doing that :P

Personally, I think that PETA being against something is generally reason enough TO do something, (and if they're worried about property damage, they just need to get some armed guards (preferably trigger-happy ones)).

Because X organization is evil, everything X does and stands for is evil? :P


Blah, we'd better stop this before someone gets offended. This thread is about ponies! So post ponies.

I just read the article on the economy of Equestria. I think that it is wrong to believe that unicorns would naturally become the richest.

Firstly, I differentiate between tricks and spells. Tricks are what are referred to in the Trixie episode by Spike, when he says 'Twenty five tricks! Most unicorns have only a few!' (bit of a paraphrase there, but you get what I mean.). They appear to be largely natural to a unicorn (you can't teach them, either you have them or you don't). Spells are combinations or variations of tricks. They can be learnt, but would require the tricks essential to their casting.

For example, levitation vs telekinesis. Levitation is the trick, telekinesis is the spell. Spells appear to require concentration, and most importantly, require the spellcaster to remain still. See 'Suited For Success' and 'The Staremaster' for comparisons between Rarity's ability to cast spells. Other evidence would be 'Boast Busters'. Twilight is unable to move around while banishing the Ursa Minor, and it requires intense concentration. Trixie is also unable to move while defeating Applejack.

Friendship is Magic™

Is it horrible if I say I was in that thread? I think I actually made that one.

EDIT: Heh, yeah. Found it in the archives. Yup, I made that thread, it seems.

I just died a little, clicking that /co/ link.
Just reminds me again why I will never leave the safe, comfortable confines of Bay12.

IN OTHER NEWS
I know that most of you guys here hate fanfiction, but September is apparently the National Pony Writing Month, where the goal is to write 50,000 words of Pony fanfiction by the end of the month. I've joined, and I was wondering if anyone else here was thinking of trying.

Because ponies are too awesome to leave unread.

Also, I just read Spiderses. Pass me a pan, my brain is sizzling and I want some fried eggs.

Crazy Cow, can it be fanfiction? Because I might finally get around to writing that MLP 40k crossover.
