This Post is Not About Ponies

So, some of you have witnessed the banter that occurs between myself and my husband.  Some of you may have fallen victim to it on facebook, which is particularly terrifying because it's usually not planned. 
Don't worry, though, sometimes we fall victim to it ourselves, and it winds up sounding like a Sifl and Olly segment.

I debated between this one, Civil War Corpses, and Hooker Monkeys.

And then you wind up with conversations like last night.  I don't even know how it got started, I think we were talking about something and then Jay said, "That's the title of a blog post."  Whatever it was was good, but not quite right, and I said so.  I honestly can't remember what it was, but the follow up statement is really what matters.  "But every other blog post is about ponies, isn't it?"

"No it isn't!  There's only, like, two."

"But every other post involves ponies."

"Does not!"

"What about the dream sequence one?"

"That was a unicorn, not a pony!"

"It was a ponycorn."

"Spike is not a ponycorn, he's a unicorn.  There's a huge difference."

"Spike thinks he's a ponycorn."

"No he doesn't, he's a unicorn."

At this point I feel it pertinent to remind the audience that Spike is a plush pink unicorn.  He can't think, he's not alive.  We're arguing about what a plush toy thinks it is.  This has gone far enough.  The subject is changed.

 

Spike definitely thinks he's a unicorn.  

Twenty minutes later:

"Every other post is NOT about ponies."

"Well, you mention them a lot."

"That doesn't count.  It's only, like, two."

"Oh, it has to be more than that."

"I bet you it's only two."

"Whatever."

"Oh, we should totally watch Friendship is Magic during movie night this week!  You totally owe me a pony now."

A bit later, we've discovered that the dvd that comes with some of the ponies is a mini one that probably won't play in our player.  I have decided that I have enough ponies.  Although, if I do get any more from the current toy run, I want the Applejack Fashion Pony.

No ponies for Linda.

Later that night....

"Every other post is not about ponies."

I think you get the idea.  Anyhoo, the official count is two posts about ponies, and two posts that mention ponies in passing, and the unicorn bit doesn't count, because unicorns aren't ponies.  So, honey, when you read this, I was right.  There are only two posts about ponies, and there's a total of like 27, so there!  And this post doesn't count, since it didn't exist at the time of the argument.

But since we're on the topic of ponies, anyway, I finally watched the first couple of episodes of the new My Little Pony show, Friendship is Magic.  This show is freaking awesome, and you should totally watch it.  Here, let me help you with that.

Behold, twenty-two minutes of awesome!

I totally identify with Twilight Sparkle, although I swear, sometimes I'm channeling Pinkie Pie, which absolutely terrifies me.  Still, I find this one much more entertaining than the original and the animation is wonderful.  I think its massive internet following is almost justified.
