    Ok, I decided to make a Gordon Ramsay dish - scrambled eggs! http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=dU_B3QNu_Ks Here are my results: I did not go with sourdough bread - I like my potato bread. I did not bother to toast it either. The eggs did not soggy up the bread at all. It tasted delicious! Honestly, they were the best scrambled eggs I've ever had. And yes, I did do the tomatoes on the vine and mushrooms. I could not find the capped mushrooms he mentioned but used regular mushrooms instead. This all tasted great together. I could use a little more practice - for example, I think I could have done a better job cutting up the chives. But, all in all, I am happy with my first attempt. I recommend this video recipe - give it a try!

    I agree with you. I still can't believe my mom told me what she told me - guess my parents are anal enough to make the rhythm method work. Sucks though, I did not want to be an only child. Why couldn't they mess up the rhythm method like normal people?

    What can I say, guess I am part Pegasus after all...

    Use the url you get from "direct link." Yay, another pony that still uses photobucket!! /) Here's random picture of me just to test it:

    This post makes me sad. Hope you meet some decent people soon!

    I find it amusing how part of the thread has shifted from "How come it's more comforting to talk to the opposite sex?" to "I believe the opposite sex is listening to me to get into my pants!" Will males use the strategy of listening to females to try to get into their pants? Let's be realistic - men do try this. Too bad that's a lose-lose situation. You make women like Shankveld suspicious and men, it does not really work. Women, at least in my experience, sleep with men that excite them, they do not generally go after their shoulder-to-cry-on. I have both male and female friends - perhaps I like going to different genders for different topics. But, as a friend, I will listen and do the best I can to help when they come to be me in turn - I do not expect any sexual favors for doing so because at that point we are in the "friend zone." The "friend zone" is only frustrating if you wanted something else and somehow wound up friends without your realizing it. However, if your goal was friendship to begin with, the "friend zone" is quite comforting. I love having friends of either sex, hmmm, when I think about it, it isn't even about gender - it is about diversity. It is fun having all sorts of different friends with different perspectives - just think of the mane 6. I have heard of friends becoming lovers, but in general I find it best not to weird your female friends out by wanting to hump them (I am speaking as a heterosexual man here). Besides, female friends are good listeners when you are in a relationship and are confused by something your girl does. I remember going to gal pals and asking them, "why is she behaving like that?" only to have them give me valuable insights into the female mind. If you are single, female friends can also help you find a girlfriend. They make great "wingmen." I do believe you appear more attractive when you are out with your female friends and having a good time than if you are lurking about a place all by yourself. Long story short, make friends and enjoy that you have friends because FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC!

    That would make it "elaborate" now wouldn't it?

    I like cooking rainbow trout and tilapia in a pan. But this is what I really want to try: Oh yeah, forgot dessert!

    Wow, congrats on the promotion! Hmmm... maybe I should try to start a "MERRIWETHER WILLIAMS IS THE BEST MLP WRITER EVER!" thread to make sure you can stay objective and impartial and not banish it to the moon. j/k! /)

    Apology accepted and I apologize too if you felt I was personally insulting you - I just didn't care for the way you wrote it. Anyway, I am also sorry to bring up old wounds. I just wanted sympathy for a less-than-stellar Saturday I was having. In hindsight, that was selfish of me since I did not consider the ramifications of my actions. I am all for the locking of this thread.
  11. DrOphthalmos
    Oh, and naturally my feelings would vary on the neighborhood and time of day. It makes sense to adapt to the situation at hand.

    Here's what I would tell my child: Definitely dangerous but necessary... that's why I plan to train all of my kids to be ninjas.

    Thus far, I have seen every mod behave professionally and respectfully. I have not seen a real mod ever belittle the person with phrases like "I wish you would use the search function before starting such a cliche thread" or something like that. I have lots of respect for them in large part because they know how to respect us. That makes this forum a very enjoyable place.

    I think you are right. I read somewhere that Tori Spelling co-hosted the British Royal Wedding on E! and that may be why she is hosting the MLP Royal Wedding. Though, I am having trouble finding confirmation of that - instead I keep finding articles that she threw a "Royal Wedding Sleepover Party." I guess Tori Spelling is just known for liking Royal Weddings. Btw, any of you California bronies attend this? Tori will be the host of the "bridle" shower (oh boy) at the Tea House in Culver City, California on April 14 Hmmmm... since it already passed, I tried looking up this event. Seems like it was a private affair. Here's one link I found: http://www.derpyhoovesnews.com/the-tea-house-royal-wedding-party/

    Speaking of hyping it up, everypony notice the commercials with Tori Spelling stating she's hosting the wedding?

    I agree, nothing good can come of continuing this discussion. I was foolish to think I could post on an MLP board and expect sympathy because seeing the edited version dampened my mood. Apparently, all I have done is stirred up more negative feelings - in others and myself.

    They still had to knock down a wall of the train to get the cake in. Not sure I follow how using a cart to comfortably take the cake to the train station would have been a bad idea. Having it on Big Mac's back the whole way with ropes and force field to keep it stable seemed very awkward.

    I wish they hadn't. If they were going to air the edited version, I wish they would have just decided never to air the episode again. That's how I feel about it - don't try to convince me to feel any different. Feelings aren't always logical. How presumptuous of you. I was well aware of the existence of this thread. I started a new thread because I was bothered by the timing of the showing of the episode, I was not trying to start up the controversy all over again. You didn't act like a mod, personally I think you acted like an Anyway, now that my thread is part of this thread, I've really lost interest in it. Ugh, The Last Roundup derpy fiasco... http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=N61lbhrmP40

    Fluttershy as Medic!! Oh, and Big Mac as Heavy!
  20. DrOphthalmos
    So basically, the cake isn't made of dark matter but is actually a legit cake that would give Big Mac problems? Still doesn't explain why they didn't just put the cake on a cart and made Big Mac pull it.

    Brohoof this opinion over 9000 times. I think this is why I take this edit so personally - I'm an eye doctor. I have "derpy" patients and I love seeing a character on television with strabismus. Same idea as the bald Barbie - it lets people know they are not alone in their condition. What would have solved this problem is actual PARENTING. I gave The Friendship Express DVD as a gift to a 6 year old girl and I watched the whole thing with her. When Derpy appeared, she asked, "Is that pony dumb?" I answered, "Nope! She just has a condition called "strabismus" where her eyes cross giving her poor depth perception. For that reason, she is a little clumsy. But, she is one of the most loved ponies out there and we the community love her just the way she is." 6 year old answer to that explanation: "oh, ok!" Not really a problem - just lots of bronies didn't like it as much as other episodes. Maybe this is all to make the Royal Wedding even more amazing. Want to make something look good? Put something unattractive next to it. Maybe this is what the Hub is doing this weekend. Tricky, tricky.

    I was ticked off at the edit long time ago. Now I am ticked that I am being reminded of it when there should have been a new episode. I would not have said boo if they had played this during the week. Well, now they are showing the Mysterious Mare Do Well - the OTHER episode Bronies generally do not like. I do not mind that episode that much myself but now it feels like crap-on-Bronies weekend.

    Maybe, just maybe, I was in a bad mood to start with and I tuned in for a cheer up and instead I find something I find offensive. Telling me to stop overreacting is like telling any angry person to just stop being angry - you are only going to make the situation worse. What will cheer me up is watching my Friendship Express DVD with the right version. Ahhh, so much better.

    This argument has been used time and time again yet it seems to fall on deaf ears. Seriously, Snips and Snails basically sends out the message that boys are messed-up morons. I would like to see an episode where Snails is shown farming snails or something - otherwise, what does his cutie mark mean? That his talent is being slow? Maybe he eats lots of escargot? Of course, together with snips, they stand for boys (snips and snails... they need a third with puppy dog tails!) but individually his cutie mark should mean something on its own. What would snips cutie mark mean on its own? Does he run with scissors? Hope not. Maybe he's a whiz at cutting up cardboard paper?

    Out of what... 50 episodes now?... they couldn't pick some random episode that was offensive to no pony? I am pissed. Showing ANYTHING would have been better. Honestly, I would have even preferred another show - even another generation of MLP! That's how much I hate that altered version.
