That made me wonder, how old might the oldest brony be?

He probably isn't the oldest brony, but I do know a guy in his mid 40s who served a full military career of 20 years.

This song probably sums up what I love about the "spirit/message" of the community



Lyrics:

Spoiler

He was different from the rest of the world
He chose the lovely every time
With a smile, he would bravely soldier on
Yeah, was that such a crime?

He did not wear cynicism well
He chose the lovely every time
And they cut him down, the world cut him down
Yeah being peaceful was his crime

And I don't understand
The way we all behave
Yeah this world of ours..
This world we live in...


We're a long way from Equestria
We're a long, long way
We're a long way from Equestria
A long, long, way


She dared to love everybody
Yeah, she was nothing but kind
And the world told her she was wrong
There must be something wrong with her mind

And she was just a child amongst thieves
Just a child looking for love
Yeah all the grown ups in the world told her she was wrong
To believe in something we're all dreaming of

And I don't understand
The wicked things we do
In this world of ours...
This world we live in...


We're a long way from Equestria
We're a long, long way
We're a long way from Equestria
A long, long, way


I will never give up the fight.
I will never surrender to the hate
I know this world ain't perfect at all
But the world is just what we create

So let's make love,
Let's make friends,
Let's take time to make amends,
Let's make the world more like Equestria

Sorry Square, but that song is just WAAAAY too slow for me.
*goes back a few pages and starts playing "Chop Suey" again...and again...and again...*

[SquareSphere]

The lyrics are what make it for me. Being mean and rude is a choice, and because of the reality people are selfish, well we're a long way from Equestria.

I'm sorry. I don't think all bronies are that bad, but THAT is hilarious (and probably in some rarer cases, true).

I think "Brownies" is still my favorite though.. mostly for the last line:

"Oh, Apple Jack... if only I could taste the magic."

I did think about buying a Pinkie Pie plushie, put it on my nightstand, cheer me up.
Except it was Pinkamena, y'know, so, yeah, sad.
What? Am I supposed to be offended or something?

You're gonna have to work harder than that to rustle my jimmies.



Muuuuch harder than that, but keep going, this is the official pony thread, after all.

Just saw the Rainbow Dash Reloaded/Matrix video. Creative and hilarious. I don't really see myself as a brony, but I definitely enjoy watching their antics from the sidelines... and hearing the groans of the haters.

Hell... I'm very protective of the BT IP and even I am all for decals and sufficiently "pony" paint schemes

Reminds me of the Warhammer 40K stuff that has been circulating... I'm going to go with "magical".

*MagnusEffect is also from Florida*

Florida suuucks. We are like a lot less interesting Australia.

Everyone in this thread should be ashamed.

That is assuming one has shame. My ex would tell you I don't.

At least they seem to be relatively well behaved about keeping it in the Pony topic now.

Take any nerdism. BT, DnD, Magic the Gathering, etc.

Now take the objects of those activities and replace the ponies in that video. Does it make it any different? Nope, not really.

I'm all for having a good laugh at myself and the fandom, but not when people don't even try, and just use generic nerd stereotypes.

Hence why I cannot wait for South Park to do an episode on us.
