Oh Armok! I've read this story...

These are just regular non-sapient horses, I did buy 4 mares from the caravan though.

In Target today, while buying other stuff, I walked past the trading card stuff and saw the MLP one completely sold out. I guess there must be more pony fans in this part of Minnesota than I thought. Trading cards simply don't interest me that much, however, I would like my old Bellsprout Pokemon card back. It was my first.

Pony trading cards?

Yes. There were also some pokeymans. I've got the apartment to myself for now, my roommates haven't arrived yet. Time for some Tea, Earl Grey, Hot.

EDIT: The TNG episode I should be watching looks terrible at a cursory glance...they're apparently all Irish stereotypes.

Just watched all the Hellsing videos, the original and the remake, and I can safely say I like the original more. Which is also coincidentally the one which stays less true to the original manga Random non sequitur posts thread - Page 20 3223827841

I guess it boils down to throwing away Police girl's character development in favour of making her a comic relief character. Walter and Sintegra are also a great deal more badass in the original. She smiles.
Even Kaiba would be scared.

Yup, Slag is a bronze pickle.

I remember that fact, but I seem to have mentally separated his two usernames into two different people over time.

Trying signavatar for the first time as a test. I didn't bother resizing the images as of yet for this experiment.

And Slag, how do you get a name like "The Bronze Pickle" anyway?

**Slag** Sat Aug 25, 2012 1:14 am

I registered for Bay 12 when I was pretty young: just old enough to not like the monicker I had been using, but not yet old enough to be intelligent with my new pseudonym.

Jervill Sat Aug 25, 2012 3:31 am

Makes sense. My username was Gerbillman for...well, I'll say four years (2000-2004), since I liked gerbils (still do, I have a soft spot for cute furry mammals), and I was 10 when I made it. I simply made a few adjustments to the name, and BAM, got the username I do now. It's relatively unique so barely anyone else has it.

Kaijyuu Sat Aug 25, 2012 4:12 am

Pfft. Weak! I STUCK with my stupid username I made way back when! Misspelled and everything!

Loud Whispers Sat Aug 25, 2012 4:15 am

And I... Nothing. Just regular Ol' username evolution.

Jervill Sat Aug 25, 2012 4:16 am

Speaking of which, LW, have you ever seen the Star Trek: TNG episode "Loud as a Whisper"? Random non sequitur posts thread - Page 20 591830264

Is one of your avatars the evil Picard clone from Nemesis?

Jervill Sat Aug 25, 2012 4:21 am

Shinzon? Yes, if you look closely all my avatars have one overriding theme.

Kaijyuu Sat Aug 25, 2012 4:26 am

Bad guys from movies, I'm guessing?

Haven't seen Khan yet but maybe I'm just not lucky.

Jervill Sat Aug 25, 2012 4:28 am

Yes, all 11 movie villains. It's a bit odd with Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Star Trek IV, but V'Ger and the alien space probe work for that purpose.

I decided against major villains in the television series, so no Q, Dukat, or that Xindi Reptilian guy from Enterprise.

Kaijyuu Sat Aug 25, 2012 4:36 am

I KEEP HITTING F5 BUT I'VE YET TO SEE KHAN'S GLORIOUS BOSOM

I should see more of these movies. Some of the character designs intrigue me, like the dude with the eyepatch.

Jervill Sat Aug 25, 2012 4:45 am

Khan's in there, you're just unlucky.

And yes, the guy with the eyepatch, General Chang, is the main villain of Star Trek VI, which is considered along with II to be one of the best original series films.

Both II: Wrath of Khan and VI: The Undiscovered Country share the same director, Nicholas Meyer, for what it's worth.

Necro910 Sat Aug 25, 2012 5:59 am

I thought it was only KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAN, but once I started refreshing I got someone else. Huh.

**Dsarker** Sat Aug 25, 2012 1:41 pm

So - MLP as the in-universe creation of a fictional real-world person. That fictional person is an incredibly lonely person, dealing with a sucky life. So they create an imaginary world where their life doesn't suck as much. Where their teacher is a princess. Where their teacher actually likes them. And where there are six people who /want/ to be friends with them. And so they hide in their fantasies, rather than try to improve their life...because it's easier to refuse to acknowledge a problem than to fix it.

Jervill Sat Aug 25, 2012 5:32 pm

Shouldn't that post be in the "Thoughts on MLP universe" or whatever it's called thread?

EDIT: My fortress finally exhausted the last bits of silver reserves, and I got lucky and hit some sphalerite a couple levels down.
