  1. Welcome to our house er, House. Oh my, I can see we're in for a wild ride here. Okay, I can go with that... ...That is, after you sleep off that tranquilizer, of course.
  2. Pretty much any kind of food commercial will do it. They know just how to push the right buttons. Burgers and pizza seem to be the worst though. I hate what they've done to my waistline!
  3. It'll be a nice draw for families with younger kids. The older kids will want to go to the bigger budget Disney or Pixar of the moment. Bronies will make up a large part of the take, of course, and that'll include a few bucks from my pocket to be sure!
  4. I'd love to live on Mars for a while, maybe even forever if it was settled enough where I could go to a McDonald's there or Disneyland Mars. But until these things are possible, I'll stick to my amenities on the homeworld. I don't like roughing it. I'm not even into camping.
  5. According to iqtest.dk I scored a 112 for what it's worth. I had 12 minutes left over so maybe I'd have done better if I'd taken my time with it. Then again, maybe I wouldn't.
  6. Yeah, it seems to be heading in that direction. Taking pre-established movies and shows and darking them down seems to be a trend that won't go away for a while. The up side to some of it is that some movie franchises that truly deserve to continue and aren't likely to see a sequel will have a place to go. I would not be surprised to see a live action Star Wars series based on bounty hunters (or anything else for that matter). I'm sure Disney has not overlooked any possibility when it comes to expanding their profits in every way imaginable. I just hope that if they do, they'll keep the light touch needed to make it feel like Star Wars and not something else entirely. Alien would also make a cool series since it's already pretty dark anyway. They just need to make their characters interesting and not just the same crowd that seems to populate most TV shows nowadays. The one thing I don't want is for any good series to be treated like an easy cash-in on a known title and made poorly by indifferent producers.
  7. The Mechanic: Resurrection. Not bad if you want a lot of action and pretty scenery. It's not deep or thought-provoking but it does its job and holds the attention. A lot of gratuitous bloodletting, but that's pretty much what the story is all about anyway. Thumbs up.
  8. I love space travel and I love Mars! I think anyone moving this necessary project in the right direction is inspiring. Waiting for NASA to get off its duff and do something like this has been a waste of time. For the billions spent at NASA I want to see something more than the effects of tomato seeds in space and experiments that no one cares about. Such pursuits may have their applications in the long run, but for that kind of money I want to see something with some guts! Colonizing Mars is what we need and I'm glad someone is willing to take on the work and risks it takes to make it happen.

    general Boredom

    I get bored a lot, not because I have nothing to do. Heaven knows I've got tons to do, but I procrastinate a LOT. If I can't work up the interest to do something I have on my long list, I try working up to it with little things like tweaking art or writing projects I've already finished. Or I'll organize to make things easier for when I do have the inclination to do something more elaborate. I often write synopses for stories I want to write at another time. Bite-sized tasks are what get me acclimated to getting off my backside and getting moving again. Oh, and I also post incessantly on the forums here. Like now.
  10. My mom speaks with some Canadianisms, like saying 'oot' or 'aboot' instead of 'out' and 'about' and that sort of thing. She's from French-Canadian descent so there's reason for it. No one else in the family does that though. Words that vary widely over my whole family are 'Crayons' and 'Almonds'. My dad pronounces crayons as 'crains' and I pronounce it 'crans.' Almonds are pronounced ALmonds (with a short A as in in 'Animal') by my dad, I pronounce it 'AHmonds' and my mom and brother pronounce it 'awlmonds'. I don't think there's a right or wrong way of doing it, really.
  11. If I were to pick a job beyond what I have now it would be something creative like filmmaking, animating, Imagineering, or writing for movies or stage. There's nothing more rewarding than creativity and I would love to get paid for doing it.
  12. Mine are medium length. I used to bite my nails when I was little, and once I stopped I liked wearing them long for a while (just compensating I guess). I keep them medium now because it's a good compromise. I like the look of them short or long, but it can be useful to have a little extra length sometimes. It also looks good with a little nail color added.
  13. This sounds like exactly the case. Don't worry about it, it's all fine.
  14. Sadly, I would give it very little chance of winning anything or even being nominated, to be honest. This is not because I feel the movie would be undeserving, but because the academy (assuming we're talking about the Oscars) seldom pays attention to anything they would deem too 'unsubstantial.' Animated films have their category but I think it'll be reserved for the bigger budget and more high profile movies rather than a derivative of a television show. At best, I could see a vague chance at a nomination for song, but even then they'll likely give the award to something that would reflect more prominently and favorably on the academy. It's always been about politics and has very little to do with art. That's why there's a People's Choice Awards.
  15. Hi Butterhoof! Welcome to the herd! It looks like you already have the basics, now all that remains is to explore around the forums and have fun! There are lots of ponies here and lots to talk about. I'm sure you'll enjoy it quite a lot! Looking forward to seeing you on the boards!
  16. Hi PastelSky! That's a lovely name by the way. Welcome to our friendly forums of pastel ponies. You're going to love it here. There are lots of fun topics and fun ponies to talk with. No need to be shy here, come right on out and join in the fun!
  17. Life would be so much better with a little background action music.

  18. "I Am A Girl Like You" and "The Cat's Meow" from Barbie: Princess and the Pauper. Also "Call Me A Princess" and "High Adventure," both excised from Aladdin in the early stages of production. Happily the latter is now in the Aladdin Broadway show, but sadly, "Princess" again didn't make the cut. I think I'll toss in the theme song for Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers while I'm at it. I always try to think of that one if I want to get the aforementioned ones out of my head.
  19. I usually see Mosquitoes or flies if I see anything at all. There's always the errant spider or cockroach here and there too. Before I moved back to the west it was always the ones you couldn't see that were the biggest problem. Ticks and Chiggers being the worst.
  20. I was eating my breakfast burrito while watching the original Star Trek on TV.
  21. I just polished off a breakfast burrito stuffed with egg, cheese, potato, salsa and sausage. Nummy!
  22. Wow, so much ado about nothing. It's just a guy with a plushie. It's no different than wearing an MLP T-shirt (or any T-shirt). It's just one of countless ways to express one's interest in something he loves. This actually caused hateful backlash on the internet?! Sheesh, some folks gotta lighten up! (Or get a hobby of their own) Such a cute plushie too.
  23. 'What's it like being a Brony' is like asking 'What's it like being human?' MLP is just a facet of life that attracts people who are interested in a quality show the same as any fandom is for anything. The fans were mature and intelligent enough to rise above the absurd idea that you have to fit into a narrow demographic for it to be socially acceptable. When I became a fan of the show it was already into season 2 and I had never heard of the show or the Brony fandom before. I just started watching it because it was good. I later learned all about the big following it had and thought it was cool that everyone was embracing it with such abandon. There's nothing deep or cause for serious scrutiny here. It's just a cool show. We like it. 'Nuff said.
  24. Generally speaking, with attractiveness rated on appearance, personality and general merit, this would be my list: Rarity. Always number one for me because let's face it, she is best pony. Classy, intelligent and prettier than all the others combined. Fluttershy. Sweet, cute and feminine. She just works on every level. Twilight. Nerdy, intelligent and engaging. The Equestria Girls human version with the glasses is adorable. I wish Twi would resemble that look a little more. Pinkie Pie. So much fun! Humorous, friendly and very, very pink. How can you go wrong? Rainbow Dash. A little brash for me, but such a lovely color scheme! And a great all-around pony. AppleJack. Friendly, honest and approachable. Super easy to get along with.

    technology How big is your tv?

    I have a 32" Upstar LCD. Not fancy but it gets the job done. My brother has a 50" Panasonic which we use to play video games on. It's very nice and easy to get used to. There's really no such thing as a big enough TV.
