You've got to be kidding me right now. We have pics of stupid, lazy, and sarcastic. But wait! there are some pretty epic pics in there this time around actually. They may have gotten lost in all the stupid, but oh well :3
Here we have just some really out of place stuff. If you like them please feel free to leave a brohoof. if you don't like them, please feel free to also leave a brohoof.
Here's a post to Fluttershy for coming in second. Everybody knows that Twilight would've lost were it not for those two extremities spontaneously added on to her. ;D
You know those times where you lose your only guitar pick and you've looked all over the house and under the house and in the fridge but you can't find it so you have to break off one of your toenails by slamming it in a door and carve that into a pick and then your dog eats it and you have to break off another toenail and then right after you do that you double check your pockets and you find it hiding in the folds of your left pocket?
Don't tell anybody I told you this, but I'm going to enter my MS Excel PMV into the PMVToday contest. It's totally gonna win best in show. Don't believe me? Well I can't upload it on YouTube, but nobody said anything about a tiny little sneak peek picture.
This is a zoomed out pic of part of the spreadsheet. Trust me, the actual camera movement will make this thing worth watching. It may not look like much now, but just you wait.
P.S. I'll upload the spreadsheet for your entertainment after the contest ;D
You might notice somedays that you've waited for weeks just for a person to reply to your request, no matter who you ask. Sometimes, it feels like we never get around to doing your signatures anyway. You might just assume that we've died, or you think we quit because we just hate you and don't want to be your friend.
Let me be the one to tell you...
Of course you guys aren't rude about it, and actually pretty nice considering how long some of us have been 'dead'. But if we've been on the forums within the past week and haven't replied to your needs, it probably means we're trying our hardest.
I say this in representation of many artists because I believe they suffer the same inconsistent problems. Pink Mist was out just recently, and Azura, Dsanders, even Ticking Timebomb along with others are all hard-workin folks who might take a while because they are really giving your signature/avatar all the time necessary to make it look good.
Even if we aren't working YOUR particular project we have lives of our own. And very important projects to work on (ie )
So please forgive us for bein' a bit late. I've seen this happen to most sig/avi shop owners so that's why I post on all of their behalfs. (except for ChampRD92 cuz he's just a god apparently :okiedokielokie: )
Might as well kick off the new year with a small collection of pictures. I got out of the hospital today just in time to run home and scrape together this blog post so enjoy what little there is below.
Oh, it's not? Well we can't all be perfectly on time. Where's the fun in that?
Grab just a few leftover jokes below. Not too many, but I didn't want them to spoil. Speaking of leftovers, I need to eat that fudge in the fridge. Seeya!
Yesterday I was serving God (or so the Boy Scout oath tells us) by selling over-priced popcorn to people outside of the local Lowe's store. Yeah, I'm a boy scout, and yeah, I've sold popcorn before. But this time was different. America, meet your money-grabbing guarantee: Bacon Ranch Popcorn!
Yes, you read that correctly. As I was forced to loot my fellow countrymen in exchange for 'gourmet' popcorn, I decided to read up on some of the products we were actually selling. My eyes were immediately drawn to the most outlandish popcorn flavor yet to inhabit my sales paper, Bacon Ranch.
I know what you're thinking, "I came here to argue with you! When are you going to get to the capitalism part?!"
Well look at this. 6 oz. of this horrendously nauseating popcorn costs $30.
That's 5 bucks an ounce! Last time I checked, poison didn't cost that much.
What's more depressing is that the Boy Scouts, an organization that supposedly is meant to help other people at all times, is grabbing all the cash they can in competition with Girl Scout cookies. Well sir, you say cookies are better than popcorn? WELL DO THEY HAVE BACON RANCH COOKIES??? I DIDN'T THINK SO!
The money from this doesn't even go to my troop. Over 70% goes to support "The Northeast GA Council" AKA, a group of old white guys who spend their days planning on how to further exploit the loose wallets of the people who they were supposed to be protecting.
I dunno, maybe I'm just raging here. But $30 for a few kernels? Really BSA?

I love it how everybody on the forums manages to take time out of their day to wish a happy celebration to an appropriate recipient. Even if it's just a auto-sent message from Chigens and Kay (XD)
But somehow, I've managed to go against everyone's wishes. I truly screwed myself over this time.
My family was there, they gave me presents. The cake sat on the table with all of it's overly sugared glory, waiting to attack me with diabetes on the first bite. My mother had the camera out, my brother looked bored, and my father handed me the bag. It was a bag with Star Wars print on the outside. They sure do know what I like
Then I opened the present bag. I pulled tissue paper out from the bag, and flinging it to the side with the same amount grace I use when I flop into bed after a long day: none at all. What I revealed was what most people might consider unsatisfactory. Most teenagers get cars for their 16th birthday. I got a pack of Star Wars gummies from 2010, and a nice, blue mousepad. I was disappointed but I didn't show it.
This is what shocked me. Not the fact that I got less than perfect gifts, but what I thought about it. I should have been appreciative for what they got me. I should have loved those stale treats and adored the other gift along with the cake. Instead, my first reaction was "Dammit."
What have I become?
I have never had a happy birthday before. Something always seems to go wrong. This was by far the worst however, as I realized that I am transforming into some sort of greed ridden monster. What the hell was I expecting? Some sort of mansion? A stack of bills? Why would I expect anything in the first place?
So I ruined my own birthday, or at least my subconscious self did. Should I blame it on human nature? No, although humans are cruel, they are only natured from their own environment. And I have had many wonderful friends in my life who influenced me in amazing ways. Who is there to blame but myself.
TL;DR
The thing I am getting to is that I am afraid of myself. Afraid of the way I think and why I think that way. Why do I behave this way? Why am I an unappreciative monster?
So there's a particular Pinkemena banner that I saw today (COUGH COUGH THANKS LUGIA) that seems to have gotten some people down in the dumps. Why not have some funny pictures to counter that negative energy eh? Share some with your friends, or even just link this thing to them. Everybody needs to smile smile smile every once in a while while while
Then again, according to f_ing everybody I'm an emo. So what would I know about that anyway...
Have some pics before somebody gets depressed again!
Ok, I gotta admit though, Lugia makes a pretty sexy banner. XD
