  1. Last thing I bought, a new carburetor for my Honda ATC three Wheeler.
  2. Lol, I just realized when I posted my earlier response, I did not see the words non pony in the title! I feel dumb . Well , I guess human Twilight Sparkle technically counts I used to have a crush on Renamon when I was younger though, I used to lie in a hammock at night thinking of her.
  3. Love the old first person shooters, especially System Shock 1&2. SHODAN! IM COMING FOR YOU!
  4. Ah, Windows 95. My first ever computer was a Compaq Deskpro 230 xe running win95, I still have it somewhere. I still have my mom's first as well, an Ultra tower running win98 (and the receipts totalling $1200 in sep. 98) Reminds me of when small specialty computer shops were a thing, we bought the 98 at one, unfortunately, they closed a few years later. Then bought a Compaq with Xp in 2005 at Circuit city. Ah, the commodore 64, I have 2, a C64c, the sleeker all white model (1988) and a Sx-64 executive "portable" (1984), where everything was in a suitcase size machine! Also, an Atari 400, an Atari 600xl, and a Texas instruments Ti-994a. I love old computer s!
  5. I agree with you on the gay marriage thing. Now , like you , I dont have a problem with them getting married, in fact, I would go so far as when the first aliens (Non-hostile) come here, I would fight for them to be able to marry with a human if they so desire, as well as self-aware robots. I agree that the method they used to pass the law was unacceptable. They should have waited for a 2/3 majority and passed it in accordance to the Constitution. By just passing it the way they did, it lays the ground work for the federal government to pass more unpopular laws (like banning guns, and abolishing term limits, two things that help keep the us from becoming a dictatorship). The fact they now pass laws willy-nilly is truly unnerving, and using the gay marriage issue as a guinea pig, provides a good test and a distraction to keep us busy while they pass laws that will turn the us Constitution Into a memory of the "former" United States of America. That reminds me Of when I got in trouble due to letting a friend cheat off my test. Not the first time I did, but the first and only time I was caught.
  6. I agree with you on the Fram being garbage. I use Purolator for all my vehicles. And funny thing about the motorcraft filter, when I bought my (dodge) truck, that's what it had on it. I replaced it with a Purolator. I also once put a GM alternator on a Dodge, And a jeep. As for my confessions, here goes: Pony Related: - I have admitted In other posts about my feelings for Twilight Sparkle. I love her! (Ziggy knows where I come from!) I would even buy a robotic version of her if it were possible to make one that was fully aware. -I like the Equestria girls movies - I don't mind Twilight as an Alicorn, even if I did like her better as a unicorn. - I don't like the Derpyhooves shipping, and don't consider myself a fan of shipping in general, but I am a sucker for a well written shipfic (Safe or NSFW) - I prefer Princess Celestia over Luna (not that I dislike Luna or any of the ponies really) - I do find the ponies Attractive, and I do enjoy Mature fan Art and Stories - I would love to be able to go to Equestria, and to be able to travel between earth and any universe I wanted via a portal Non- pony related: -I tend to make long posts - I tend to talk in big words a lot without trying - I'm a lot more open online than in real life, I'm kinda reserved IRL. - Im more attracted to "cute" women than "hot" women. - I try to as non- judgemental as possible, but: * I dont like really lazy people * I dispise those who act like they are better than me * I have a problem respecting a person of authority if I feel they didn't earn it, and/or flaunt it all the time. * really stupid people can piss me off sometimes. (If they try to start an argument with me) - I have had interests in things most people might find odd: * I have a small collection of Vacuum Cleaners * I like American Cars from the 1970s, even the AMC Gremlin. - I consider myself Straight, but I have had some...curiosities - I was a furry before I discovered My Little Pony and the brony fandom. My mother discovered this when she stumbled on a suggestive picture of Sandy cheeks I had when I was younger. -I used to have a bit of a crush on Renamon (female) when I was younger, even though I didn't really watch digimon. -Im somewhat conservative In my political beliefs, even though I support Gay Marriage and the legalization of Marijuana. - I consider myself somewhat agnostic, and I don't care for organized religion. (Not atheist!) -I don't find sex or anything about it degrading or immoral, and I can't understand why so many do. Car related: - I don't really care for Chevy Small Block v8s in hot rods, I find it too cliché I don't care for Rice Burners (with a few exceptions), and while I like the looks of Lamborghinis and other exotics, I don't like the way they sound. I prefer the rumble of an American Muscle car. - I like full- sized cars, like the Chrysler New Yorker, and the Cadillac Eldorado.
  7. You guys can keep your quads , I'll roll on three (wheels)! I like the old three wheelers better than a four wheeler. Agreed, I still have my Super Nintendo and my PlayStation (1) I got from my cousin as a kid. My first Ps2, Christmas 2004. Well technically it was the cats. Mom put the cats name on the tag so we would be really surprised.
  8. I have never really been a fan of pokemon, I never could get into the show. As for Anime, I do watch a few. I don't consider a major fan cause I have only seen a few.
  9. While that's technically true, remember, many of us are geeks who are passionate about this show, so of course we will be wanting to pick the show apart and try to find explanation s for why everything works the way it does, and that would work in- universe, even of we have to make it up. (Hence my long-winded explanation in my previous post) (I have a whole alternate world where I have most of it explained in detail.)
  10. Well, in my headcanon, unicorn surnames are the last part of their name, e.g Twilight "Clover" sparkle, shining "Armor" Sparkle, Sweetie "Melody" Belle , Rarity "Paige" Belle. They also adopt the surname of the husband when they marry. 3 part names with a "middle" name are common among unicorns. On the other hoof, earth ponies and pegasi surnames are the first part of the name e.g Applejack, Apple Big Macintosh, Apple "Granny" Smith, Rainbow Dash, Cloud chaser Cloud Flitter. Also, its tradition for earth ponies and Pegasi to adopt the Wife's surname in marriage, as pegasi and Earth Ponies tend to have a more Maternal family structure versus the paternal structure of unicorns. Typically, if a unicorn male marries into a non unicorn family, their wife adopts the husbands surname unless they agree to use the wife's. Unicorn females will keep their surname in a mixed marriage same as with a standard earth pony wedding. Middle names are uncommon with earth ponies, and somewhat common with pegasi. Thematic naming is popular, especially with Earth ponies. Since of this, sometimes this marriage can break the theme of the name, or they may end up with a nonsense name. Some will adopt the new name legally, and add their maiden name as a middle name, or they may change their name completely to reflect their new married status and to better fit with the "theme" of the family they marry into in a formal ceremony. Others may simply have others call them the same as they always have, leaving the new name for legal documents. Earth ponies are to be addressed by their full name unless otherwise told. Unicorns are to be addressed by their title (Mr., Ms., Dr., etc.) And their surname unless told otherwise. Pegasi are to be addressed by the surname, followed by "mam" or "Sir" unless told otherwise. (E.g: Dash, Mam) Alicorns are addressed under unicorn standards. Exceptions do exist though. For the most part, this is only to the ponies of the nation of Equestria. Other nations may have their own rules on naming. This brings me to the second part, ponies with human like names (e.g Trixie "Melrose" Lulamoon, "Donut" Joe Brighton, Pinkamena "Pinkie" Diane Pie, and Griffins in General, (e.g, Gilda Clemont, Gustav Le Grand). There are many different Nations (more than I will go into detail here) on the planet Equuis. Alcatel, another Nation, is the Birthplace of Trixie, Donut Joe, and Pinkie pies parents. Gilda and Gustav hail from the Griffin Republic. Both Alcatel and the Griffin republic use a naming system not unlike what we use here on earth. Alcatel language is equestrian (similar to English), while the Griffin Language is similar to French. Both use a naming style like earths. Both the "Equestrian model" and the "Alcatelian model" are commonly used on other parts of the world, sometimes with a few differences to reflect the culture and lanquage of the nation. Other models do exist though
  11. My favorite would have to be StarCraft and StarCraft brood war. A few of my other favorites would be Centipede (first game I ever played!) Gravatar (another Arcade classic) And system shock. Also a big Mario guy.
  12. Most of them, probably not. But I'm sure some would, considering how some of us are attracted to them, and since they live in a world with more than one intelligent species in it, the idea of dating someone from another species probably wouldn't be as big a deal to them, no more than an interracial couple would here. although a pony with an actual animal would most likely still be frowned upon.
  13. I like thrift stores, antique places, resale shops and the like, because I can always find something cool there. My parents own a resale/antique shop (not quite a thrift store, thrift stores are run by charities with donated items, but similar).
  14. If I was a full pony and in Equestria, that would be pretty awesome, at first, I would be surprised and a little confused, but hopefully I could adapt.
  15. Well, i would have to say applejack, considering the first episode I saw was an AJ episode (Applebuck Season) , and she reminded me of some of my friends, but it wasn't for long , cause I saw Lesson Zero almost right after that, and that was when I noticed Twilight, and loved her ever since.
  16. I consider myself Bi-Cuious, with a preference to women. I love women in both a sexual and romantic sense. Im not really attracted to the male form, and have no desire for a relationship with a guy. Of course, if I ever did develop feelings for a dude, then I would go for it. However, I do have some curiosities, and well.....Ill just leave it at that.
  17. There's a lot of newer things i like, (like my smartphone and my Xbox), but the draw of the older stuff is just too much. I grew up with a lot of older stuff, so, i grew to love the old stuff, it has a certain character. I still like to go to antique stores and auctions. The other day, I was listening to synchronicity by the police on vynl. love it. Also, i have many old game systems and computers (and i play them, especially my Atari 2600, 6-switch even!) And cars? Dont get me started on that! (Ill take an old mopar anyday! ) theres no sound like a Chrysler 440 v8 rumbling through a set of flowmasters.
  18. This is something I have thought about many a time. Ideally, I am a unicorn and equestria has modern technology similar to our own. I have my own vision of how equestria would be if it were a real place. At first, I would be sad, missing my family and friends. A part of me would be happy though, a new world to learn about, and a new opportunity to make something of myself, the economy being much better than back home. Do I see myself as being extremely successful, probably not, but i could make a comfortable living. Hopefully I could find Twilight Sparkle, and she could educate me on equestrian customs and history. As for how I got there, well, unless there was a way to prove that I was from another world to her, i would just say im from another part of the world. Maybe i could end up befriending her, maybe more.
  19. Here's my question, is this temporary or permanent? If permanent, Nopony. I couldn't do that, especially not to Twilight. She has a wonderful life with her family and friends, and i couldn't hurt her like that, just because I wanted to see her. Now, if she can easily travel back and forth between our worlds, I would love to help her while she explores our world and to help answer any questions she may have, and hopefully I could see her own world. Traveling the world with her would be a dream come true.
  20. i agree magic would be the best thing to have, especially telekinesis, its just so practical and the most logical way a sapient, four legged race could grasp stuff, without looking like some freak with tentacles coming out of its back. Personally, if equestria were a real place, I imagine all ponies would have (basic) telekinesis, but still only unicorns would be able to use actual magic. Plus, all the applications magic could have, especially if they could pair it with technology! Also, I love Twilight Sparkle, so yeah!
  21. Thats gonna be a hard one, ive seen many a strange thing, frankly, im practically numb to it. Well, one of the worst ive seen was a website that showed real pics of extremely gory content, stuff that made me nearly throw up. That was years ago, my mom found the site and showed me.
  22. Also, the smell of matches, fireworks, gasoline, and old books. And the crisp smell in the air during the fall.
  23. 110 Octane Race fuel, oh yeah, especially when accomanied by the roar of a max wedge (or a hemi) engine in A Plymouth drag car. Also electronics
