Attack of the Pwns

I would take her to Fountain City Diner, a locally owned place that's home to the now-infamous across the metro "Heartstopper". A gigantic 2 patty burger that uses two grilled cheese sandwiches as buns, and is loaded to the brim with 8 slices of bacon, 4 mozzarella sticks, 1 onion ring, lettuce, tomato, two kinds of cheese, and local KC barbecue sauce. It's truly a thing of beauty for burger lovers. Big /) up to Radiobolt and Miles for mentioning Culver's, which would be in a three way tie with Jack In The Box and Smashburger for my second pick. As for those of you lucky suckers that actually have an In-N-Out in your general vicinity, you have my envy. I wished we had one here in Knasa City, but sadly there don't seem to be many of them east of Colorado/ north of Texas. Maybe someday.

There's no way the fandom will die right when the show ends. I think you can use the I famous "hiatus" to gauge what will happen to the fandom when the show comes to it's end. Yes, things may slow down a bit, but I'd be willing to bet that, with as much as they're making off this series from both the target audience and us bronies, that it won't take long after the last episode of FiM before Hasbro puts a spinoff series out there.

Hey Airbourne, congrats on getting a Q&A! So, let's say you won a contest and were allowed to write one episode of MLP, what would that episode's synopsis be?

I MUCH prefer summer in Kansas to winter here. Winters in Kansas are a living nightmare because we don't get snow, we get ice. And then KDOT thinks it's the brightest idea in the world to put salt on the road. Things like that really anger a car guy. In summer, Kansas is actually really beautiful. The wheat fields turn bright gold and the corn and soybean plans are a contrasting green out in the country. In the city, everybody comes out to do whatever it is they want. You see people skateboarding, rollerblading, driving hopped up cars and motorcycles (LOTS of Harleys around here), it even goes so far that when I went to the mall a couple of weeks ago I saw a guy on the sidewalk outside the mall breakdancing. When was the last time you saw somebody doing that? So yeah, summer's my season of choice here.

I have to admit! prior to meeting a ton of people in this fandom that enjoy it, I was really creeped out by metal heads. To me, about 1993 it became all about screaming and anger. I love the '80s pop-metal of groups like Def Leppard, Quiet Riot, Twisted Sister or Motley Crüe, but I just can't get behind anything after about 1989. I also used to detest rap, but then I stopped listening to lyrics and started to just enjoy the rhythm, and I'll admit that I now see the appeal. I wished they'd stop promoting violence and drunkenness, though. Modern country I still can't get, on the whole, I think mainly because I fought hard not to become what my environment was as a kid, and my mother is a country fanatic. Also, I wanted to stand out in a population who thought the trinity consisted of Chevy Trucks, Jesus, and George Strait, in that order. But I can appreciate a lot of the stuff that's 10+ years old! and I have to admit that Florida Georgia Line's stuff is generally catchy. The final genre I'm going to touch on is EDM. I had never even heard of this stuff prior to joining the fandom at large, and while I'm not very deep into it, I can definitely see the appeal of it. I have to admit, I have become very partial to Skrillex's Cinema and Bangarang since being introduced to the genre.

Banned for being best pony

I remember thinking that the original Star Wars Battlefront was graphically amazing. It dosen't have the graphics edge anymore, but it's still my favorite Star Wars game.

I'd call myself an idealist.

I used to have a really odd hairstyle I liked to call "the Crest". I would die the front half of my hair blonde, leave the back half brown, and stand the front of my hair up with Spike-It Gel. I might do that again someday, but not right now, I like my crew cut too much. As a kid I used to have some really bright blue in my hair, and I wouldn't do that again, because I got some really negative things associated with unnatural-colored hair in middle school.

Since my last name translates to "wine-maker" I always assumed my self-insert OC is somehow related to Berry Punch.

Favorite Mane 6: Pinkie Pie is Best Pony. PERIOD. Favorite Dazzling: IT'S TACO TUESDAY!! Favorite BG Ship: I generally dislike shipping, but I can be a sucker for Doctor/Derpy. Favorite EG: Here's where I take issue. No Trixie? I thought Peanut Butter Crackers made the first movie. Maybe she lost all her popularity in the second film, IDK In the absence of her, I went with Sunset. Still a great poll, BTW

I actually haven't bought much of anything yet, but I know where the pony stuff is here: Target Hot Topic and FYE at the mall Barnes & Noble A local store called "Just For Fun" (not sure if it's for children or adult collectors, it seems like maybe both) The Dollar Tree carries trading cards Toys-R-Us

OK, the way I was introduced ponies: The year was 2011, and I was at my church for a New Year's Eve party for the youth group there. One of my friends who's a couple years younger than me (and a member of about every fandom on the planet) told me, straight up out of the blue, that he watched MLP sometimes because of all the pop culture references it made. I was so confused. My Little Pony?! Why?! So, three years pass with me having no internet. Along comes my freshman year of college in 2014, and during my second semester, I was sitting up stairs, iPad in hand, bored out of my skull. For some strange reason, I couldn't get what my friend said about MLP out of my head, and I typed "MLP Refernces" into YouTube and ended up watching Alligator Tub's "Epic Wub Time", followed by Epic Cupcake Time and Epic Pie Time. Then I watched both the first and second seasons of the show and I've been hooked ever since.

I'd give myself a 4/10. I'm not ooBrony or JonasDarkmane levels of famous, but I've never changed my name and I posted on a LOT of stuff a couple months ago. I kinda took a break over the summer, but I'm a tad more active now, plus I've friended lots of ponies. But I don't care too much about being famous, so either way is okay by me.

I'd have to say Burnout 3: Takedown for Playstation 2. Not realistic in any way, but a barrel of fun. I wish they still made Burnout games of that high quality today. Close second to Star Wars: Battlefront (the original) on Playstation 2.

I think that Pinkie and Rainbow are a lot closer than most people think. They both get called out for being too reckless/hyperactive, and I think that gives them some common ground. And recall that it was RD who actually saw Pinkie during her Pinkamena stage-she was the first one to go check on Pinkie, and I think that counts for something. Next, I would say Fluttershy/ Rarity. They meet at the spa pretty much weekly from what I can tell, and as others have mentioned, they seem to share some common ground as far as interests go. Next, we have AJ/ Rarity. This one hasn't been touched on too much, and when it is it's usually shipping-related, but I think they're friends because, regardless of what polar-opposites their occupations are, they're both businessmares. They can understand each other better because they both have the hardship of trying to make it in the business world. I think this fact helps them put their differences aside, and gives them a common bond. As far as Twilight goes, I see her being really good friends with everypony aside from Pinkie and Rainbow. I don't think she hates them or anything, they just seem to wear on her patience more, mainly because they're usually not interested in getting anything productive accomplished, whereas Twi is all about results.

An air freshener chrystal. Don't ask why. It was the most bitter, base-tasting thing I've ever had in my mouth. That thing was so basic it burnt my mouth a little. Needless to say, it was one of the worst descisions I've ever made.

Did Rainbow and AJ go at it? Nice work, BTW.
