Leg Pull Alert!
General | Posted 13 years agoIf you see this or anything like it, don't buy it. It's a total hoax:
"SKYPE NEWS <<< Hi, this is a message from the creator of Skype and tell you a little about what will happen to Skype on 15 March. Please do not send it back to the person you received it from. Dear members of Skype, Skype will be closed on 15 March, because it gets very crowded. There were many users complain that Skype will be very slow. Records show that there are a lot of active Skype users, as well as many new members. We will send this message around to see if members are active or not. If you are active please send to 15 other users using Copy + Paste to show that they are still active. * Those who do not send this message within 2 weeks will be deleted without hesitation to make more space. Send this message to all your friends, to show that they are still active and not deleted. The founder of Skype .. Be sure to send it today-Marcus Abildtrup
(PS: i heard it was real but i really dont know, cept i got about 4 of them already...the founder should have a system for this shit anyway, and if he can see this i'm just saying...its not gettin to EVERYONE like this)"
How do I know it's a hoax? There have been others like the Facebook hoax and it uses some of the same words this one does. First of all, why would popular sofware like Skype close down due to "being overcrowded"? Second, look at this part of the message: " If you are active please send to 15 other users using Copy + Paste to show that they are still active. * Those who do not send this message within 2 weeks will be deleted without hesitation to make more space. Send this message to all your friends, to show that they are still active and not deleted." Dead giveaway. This is the part that gets people duped. They go "oh no, I'd better post this or I'll get deleted". Nothing will happen to your account if you don't. So don't freak out and just laugh it off as a hoax or leg pull.

Worse off, it seems some of the same nice people on MLP Arena hang out here and talk about other members behind their backs and that's disrespectful.

Doomsday Not Found
General | Posted 13 years ago There you have it. Once again, the predicted doomsday didn't happen so tough luck for those of you that probably didn't get any sleep fearing the worst. Sorry, no planetary alignment, no abnormally devastating storms, no world's end. Care to try again? Oh but then you'll be wrong again then too.
It's 12/12/12 Today!
General | Posted 13 years agoYou may or may not have noticed or realized this but the day, month and year all match with the number 12. What's the big deal? Unlike past ones like 11/11/11, this one is the last one for over 100 years because there are only 12 months per year, meaning 13/13/13 can't happen. Just have to wait for 12;12 PM.
This week's FiM Episode has a GREAT song!

Animaniacs Coming to The Hub?!
General | Posted 13 years agohttp://www.nickandmore.com/2012/11/.....this-december/
Talk about something to be thankful for, that is if you have the channel. Another of my childhood memories comes back. What remains to be seen is are they going to air the two Minerva Mink segments (Meet Minverva and Moon Over Minerva)?

Provides Hours of Fun? Surely You're Joking
General | Posted 13 years agohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCMZZRTbR-Q&lcor=1&lc=FzOPYswfoTIc8QX3KPmXB0yWqrHNe8_zf5EJKL_itTA&lch=email_reply&feature=em-comment_reply_received
Let me get this straight. I pay around $35 to assemble this thing that moves for all of five seconds? How can I get hours of fun out of that? I would think the average person would be bored well before that, or perhaps would be most entertained putting it together than actually doing anything with it, in which all you've got is some sort of storage container. Now of course you'll tell me "Well then don't buy it" Last I checked, when you make a product, you WANT people to buy it. Calling it the "Useless Machine" is inevitably going to turn most people away. Even buying for laughs, how long do you expect to be laughing? I doubt little more than seconds. I'm not sure what the maker(s) think they're going to get out of this but unless they do more than add minute attachments that do not add to the functionality of the device like perhaps having the device show a different message each time it's used or it makes a different noise, I see its future like its operations: open and shut.

Gee What a Surprise...
General | Posted 13 years agoAnother four years with Barack Obama and his idiot fleet of lies. Doesn't surprise me though because people are idiots and don't do research. Mitt Romney might not have been much better but maybe he would and even a tiny bit of improvement is better than none.
Power Restored and New FA Background?
General | Posted 13 years agoWell, after six days, my house has power again but what's up with the new background on this site? There doesn't appear to be anything explaining it and it makes the text colors clash badly in places.

8 Glasses of Water/Day? You have GOT to be kidding!
General | Posted 13 years agoI recall on The Weather Channel where some guy recommends you drink 8 8oz glasses of water a day. Seriously? That would mean if the bottle contains 16 fluid oz of water, I'd have to drink 4 of those each day and where would I fit that with the 3 daily meals? I wouldn't be hungry after those two bottles. Not to mention that if let's say the pack of water (containing 8 16 oz bottles) cost $30. I'd be done with the package in 2 days and spending $90 a week and over $360 a month just on water just to maintain this so-called "recommendation" Besides, I get by on two glasses of water and that's what I think the true recommendation is. Bottom line: It's a myth.
HUGE East Windsor, NJ House Fire from May 29, 2012
General | Posted 13 years agohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIFbxB507BM
I went by this house and was in awe at the destruction. I don't think I've ever seen a house so destroyed by fire. It's worse than the previous fire-damaged house I saw, especially with how little original color you can see on the outside.

1000 Ways to Die
General | Posted 13 years agoI LOVE this show!!! It's mostly about stupid or mistreating people that die suddenly, really getting what they deserve IMO. It's a big contrast to MLP FiM.
Why Do FiM Fans Love Discord?
General | Posted 13 years agoIt puzzles me because no offense to them but I don't see anything to like about him. So what in Discord to you like and be specific.
Okay, Queen Chrysalis = BEST FIM VILLAIN EVER!!!!
General | Posted 13 years agoThe FiM producers did a great job with her! She had an army in the thousands, took down Celestia and could shape-shift into (AFAIK) anything!
Why didn't this come out sooner????

TV accurate Celestia AND Nightmare Moon??????? It's almost like I knew half of what was on the Toy Fair table between those two. I may have to actually consider buying the Nightmare Moon toy. I'm kinda hoping she doesn't talk for fear she'll get
"I love it when you brush my hair"

Italian FiM Theme
General | Posted 14 years agohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dchiYx5Hzo&feature=channel_video_title
Why wasn't THIS the intro for ours, at least for Season 2? Awesome theme song, actually uses clips of episodes like most intros and I think I'd like the show more if it were.

Pinkie Pie's New Song
General | Posted 14 years agoIt's so catchy. "Wait, what new song? FiM Season 2 doesn't have anypony singing anything" This one was apparently leaked:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgSkyraNq8c&feature=BFa&list=WL86B505EE0AF183C1&lf=plpp_video
IMO, it's her best one thus far. Whether or not I find it better than Rainbow Dash's part of "At the Gala", I have yet to determine.

Thoughts on MLP FiM Season 2 Thus Far?
General | Posted 14 years agoHere are my comments:
EPISODE 1:
1. Disappointed that Discord wasn't the concept art version instead (where he was black with red eyes)
EPISODE 2:
1. Yay for Twilight calling out on Discord's cheating.
2. Discord, Twilight never said that she thought the elements were in the labyrinth. IMO, she implied that she thought they were after EXITING the labyrinth, which is what I thought.
3. Discord not being evil as I thought or was implied in episode 1 is a bit of a letdown.
EPISODE 3:
1. Not fond of psychotic Twilight Sparkle but I understand her insanity somewhat because I've been there, just less psychotic.
2. Loved the sun-windmill clock and Spike constantly shoving aside the backgrounds
EPISODE 4:
1. Didn't like Luna's yelling dialogue. She was much more tolerable when she spoke normally. It reminded me of when the Cutie Mark Crusaders appeared in "Stare Master".
2. Liked that they added a bit about Nightmare Moon, including a statue but the story wasn't so likable because nothing matched the story from episode 2 or even episode 1 of Season 1.

Yesterday's Earthquake
General | Posted 14 years agoI experienced my first earthquake yesterday, the 5.8 magnitude quake that hit Virginia and was felt as far as Illinois so I heard. It felt like the whole house was about to tip over. I had no idea what it was and the noise made it sound like it was our cats running around. It was totally silent and sunny before the quake and I don't want to experience another again. It gave me a sense of just how big the Japan quake was (about 30x more powerful) and now I know there's a fault zone somewhere near my house (two now apparently because of the quake. Luckily this appears to be a 100-150 year event so I don't think I'll be alive to feel another one.
