Samurai Equine

Not sure. If we can save the romance for later and stay professional at work, then sure. Some people are able to make it work. Would you date someone that wants first and final say over what possessions you own?

I will take any level of doneness between Medium-Rare and Well Done. Ideally, I tend to lean close to the Medium/Medium-Well. However, it's not a hard preference. As long as it's not Rare. That's my absolute No-No. Also, pretty sure you have to cook chicken all the way through, or else you'll get sick. Though if you do want to keep it as juicy as possible, I've had the best results cooking it in either water or oil. Do you believe everything is better fried? (By fried, I do mean covered in some kind of breading and cooked.)

Depends on what era you live in. If you lived in the early, settling ages of Japan; anyone could become a samurai. The government needed them, and there were people that needed to rise above their poor status. If you lived in the height of the samurai era, the only way to become one was to be born into a samurai family. For a long while, everyone was locked into a caste system. Eventually when Japan entered an era of peace and international prosperity, no one was allowed to be a samurai anymore. The entire class was abolished. By today's standards? That's a little harder to say. But at bare minimum, you do need to have a code of honor, you need to swear loyalty to a higher power, and you need to be ready to do the work of a soldier. And remember, this is an official position, meaning you'd have a job. You are employed to be a samurai. It loses its meaning if people just go around calling themselves samurai, just because they have a sword or some fancy armor. Closest I've had is Chinese food at my local restaurants, and those aren't authentic Chinese, just Americanized versions of their food. Still good, but I still want to try the real deal. You're very welcome. Knowing we've made a wholesome, welcoming social hang-out that people really enjoy makes it all worth it. I don't know enough about previous generations, to be honest. For G4, any pony/creature would be nice. But if I could be a royal guard, I'd beam with pride at the chance to serve Princess Celestia. I'd even be the happiest stallion in the world if I got to be her friend. While I haven't seen much of G5, it would be a tie between Hitch and Zipp. I admire Hitch's sense of duty, service, and justice. But Zipp is just the coolest, not sure what else to say. I deeply admire Sunny for the fact that she was an Earth pony that became an Alicorn, but if I had to hang out with any of them, it'd be either Hitch or Zipp.

Thank you so much, Riki! I feel so validated. Change has been made! I certainly hope it helps everyone who needs it. And I must admit, "View all" is way better than "More".

Dear Princess Celestia, I found a ticket for One Free Visit to Celestia! ...But it expired in 2017. Help?

Beetlejuice needs his name said three times for him to be summoned. Guess for me, it's five times. I have a few favorites. Though my go-to will always be the ever classic Oni! Did you know Oni have been depicted as both angry brutes and misunderstood souls? Chan- Chanbara! Chanbara! Chanbara, bara. Chanbara! Samurai Sentai Shinkenger. Appare! Yes I have. Mr. Rhino-Egg is about to come out swinging! ...See, if you know Japanese, you'd know why that nickname is funny. An old man like me has so many favorites, from American cartoons to anime. Though I wonder if anyone here saw Eek The Cat or Two Stupid Dogs? As for present, I just saw Kpop Demon Hunters. It was so good, I even watched the Japanese dub. It felt so wrong, yet so right too. Don't let anyone take your happiness, BFFFF. Hang on to it with all your might. Kick and squirm against the rising tides that would dare to take it, if you must. Because you might not be able to control what tragic or monstrous things life decides to throw at you; but you can control who or what takes your happiness away. No one else gets to decide that but you. Life can break your heart, your body, your relationships, and many other things... But never let it break your spirit. I'm not perfect. Even I had sad days, sick days, even days where I'm feeling angry. But when I have so many great friends, so many wonderful users on this forum to defend, and people who think way more highly of me than I could ever think of myself... It makes me want to be better. It makes me want to rise up to the occasion. To be the best friend and the best moderator I can be. To be worthy of the kindness and friendship many have shown for me. But also, I know what it's like to be alone; to have no friends when you desperately just want one. I know what it's like when people think you aren't even worthy of being around; a reject. If my smile and indomitable spirit can bring happiness to others, if I can make sure no one has to suffer the same way I did when I was younger, then it's all worth it. No matter what may happen, I won't let anything extinguish the flame of life that is me! ...Sorry, BFFFF. Didn't mean to lay a big monologue on you. Hope you weren't overwhelmed. Oops! Almost missed one. It's kind of an odd story. I once believed I wasn't going to be a mod until this forum was dying/hemorrhaging users. Back in those days, I thought you could only be chosen by staff to join them, if you somehow impressed them enough. I didn't know one could simply apply for the position~! So with some friendly encouragement, I did. After a passionate pledge and whirlwind of events, I became the moderator that I am today! My campaign promise is a simple one: Free hugs on demand. Care for a hug?

That's a funny way of saying my name~ See? ExplosionMare gets it! IronM17?

As long as you are willing to accept dumb answers that make no sense. If you are, then watch out for the flying applesauce, because the queen of defibrillators quacked on a skizzard, and now periwinkle sings! What was the last thing you decoded?

If I have the old password, then just take the password!

Sorry, but no. I value my health. Would you date someone who is more feminine/masculine than you are?

John Skywalker, ranch owner. How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?

You're no monster, my friend. What you were going through is just what you were going through, and everyone needs a little help sometimes. I don't want to make any private matters of yours public. I just want to say that I am glad I could help in any way that I could. And it's good to see you, fellow Sonic fan. We'll blast through and make this place welcoming for all at super sonic speed!

None of that, please. Let's be nice and stay on topic, shall we? Let's not forget that the bronies cross over into many other fandoms (I happen to be a Sonic fan as well, and I've seen a few Sega/Sonic fans on here as well). A few bad apples in one fandom don't represent the entire fandom. This topic is about how everyone is safe and welcome here. Let's not ruin it with negative generalizations. If anyone is here to ruin the civility and safety of this community, for any reason at all, the mods will handle it. That's our promise. You're so very welcome! Helping others to the best of our abilities is what we strive to do.

I heard he was six years old when he discovered his powers.

Nope, and thank goodness. Do you often have problems getting comfortable?

Cursed to only have cold coco instead of hot.

Sword.

Because she needed help powering her DeLorean. Why is Fluttershy so shy?

Turbo! Da-da-dash! 89.

I think it's worth trying, at least. Sure one day the active birthday list might be filled mostly with inactive users, but some other day, there may be so many currently active users celebrating that 5 slots just isn't enough to fit them all. And some of us want to leave comments on the pages of users we may have forgotten about but miss deeply. Though if you feel it would be necessary, you could always limit the "More" listing to users who have only been active within (oh let's say...) the last 5 years? It's hard for me to say how far back anyone would need to actually dig for MIA users. Perhaps the Notification suggestion would be a better thing to implement. As long as you are still following a user who hasn't been active in a long, long time; you should still get a Notification when it's their Birthday.

Date? Maybe. Marry? Probably not. We can share in the housework, but I can't be with someone who absolutely refuses under any circumstance. Would you date someone who has pet bugs?

They could have easily made the Battle Bikes canon.

Cursed to leave all your books half-finished.

I love my lemon soda bars.

Live Fire~! 58.
