    New Abridged Series Looking for More

    And some copypaste:
    ATTENTION FILLIES AND GENTLECOLTS
    This is My Little Equine: Friendship is Worthless, an abridged series I have been working on with  editing by zbchopss. This is to spread the word around of the new series, and also to give other ponies a chance to be apart of it. We need quite a few different voices, so anypony can audition for any character you want. Feel free to adlib as well, it'll only help us understand your interpretation of the character. As of now, the auditions are completely open so get out there and show your stuff! All submissions must come to THIS video as a video response, as a Youtube PM to either ThePonySadists or MontHenryKnitly, or as an email to either ponysadists@gmail.com or monthenryknitly@aim.com

    Thank you, and enjoy the series!
    Also, WARNING: this show will be pretty vulgar, especially the first episode. So this isn't for the little Fillies out there. Thank you for your time! -MontHenryKnitly

    10. Ponies in pants!

      I swear that Ego lady is some kind of trend setter.

      That sculpture competition looks neat! We've been seeing a lot of really nice mods/sculptures in the fandom, hope to see more!

      Otherwise this looks to be a pretty quiet day. :B

      ReplyDelete
    11. Live reading? Definitely Spiderses. In full, bombastic, Doom Comic-style voiceovers.

      ReplyDelete
    12. Pants are the new socks. Lyra shall lead us to panted glory!

      Yay sculpture ponies. The Dr Whooves already has a couple bids and is at almost $50. Seems like Dr Whoof sculptures and customs fetch some of the most out of anyone. Then again, a lot of them go for insane amounts so often. lol

      Someone made a Trixie theme for Chrome? That was fast. lol I already have Trixie as my heading in FF.

      Hmm, another abridged series looking for voices. That could be fun.

      Hah, I love that Dr Whoof animation. Go Dr Whoof! Yayy~

      Huh, Applejack Day is right after my Birthday. Yay, two things to celebrate. Though I hardly even celebrate my own Birthday. lol

      Also, I like nurse Colgate. :( But a Cheshiregate Cat is fine too.

      I'm not sure if the comic con write-up link works? It might be failure on my part, though.

      Inspired by all the comic con write-ups on here and on culture sites, I might go to MCM Expo, which is like the London Comic Con, this year. The people-watching alone sounds worth the price of admission.

      ReplyDelete
    19. Pantz, this must become our new meme.
      That is all.

    20. @Tears of a Valedictorian

      Thanks for the heads up. In my lack of sleep at 2:30am last night I forgot to change the doc settings in the sharing.

      It should work now! Just woke up, getting ready for day 3 of Chicago Comic Con now!

    22. One note about Lyra. I can't believe that no-one seems to have noticed that Lyra was the only unicorn in cloudsdale in the sonic rainboom episode. Twilight and Rarity had spells that allowed them to walk on clouds, but Lyra had no such spell.

      Look near the end of the episode, behind Celestia, and you will see her. EVERY other background pony in the episode is a pegasus except for her.

      I only noticed when I re-watched the episode, and put it on pause to go for a drink. When I came back, BOOM, there is Lyra! One of the people from the show must like her.

      ReplyDelete
    23. The best thing about the Trixie theme, is that you get a confirmation window that says "Install Trixie?"
      Unfortunately my computer screen isn't tall enough to fit all of Trixie on the new tab page.

      ReplyDelete
    24. Gah, I wish I had that good mic now. I'd love to do some VA'ing for the latest parody. (It'll be a first.)

    27. I am more than okay with my birthday month being Pants month.

      ReplyDelete
    28. @RadimirAt least we're all nice and classy about it.

      ReplyDelete
    29. Well obviously we *need* a nurse costume for Colgate, now don't we?

      ReplyDelete
    30. That Google doc of pony holidays comes up short. There are three canon holidays and six previously proposed holidays that represent the Elements of Harmony and their pony avatars. So it works out like this:

      There are 6 Elements of Harmony holidays, celebrated on the 6th day of every second month.

      February 6: Honesty (Applejack)
      April 6: Kindness (Fluttershy)
      June 6: Laughter (Pinkie Pie)
      August 6: Generosity (Rarity)
      October 6: Loyalty (Applejack)
      December 6: Friendship/Magic! (Twilight Sparkle)

      Season one gives us three other holidays which are variable, depending on which hemisphere you live in and when the leaves turn. In the northern hemisphere these would be:

      Winter Wrap Up: Starts at sunrise on the day before spring arrives, this year it was March 19.
      Summer Sun Celebration: Sunrise on the solstice, this year on June 21. It is also Princess Celestia's holiday.
      Running of the Leaves: Late September through October, depending on latitude and availability of galloping ponies.

      That makes nine. I like the idea of winter solstice being Princess Luna's holiday. That would bring the total up to ten.

      The dates for the pony-specific holidays in the google doc are all over the place and difficult to remember, whereas the 6th day of every 2nd month is easy. That the proposed (Google doc) date for Twilight's holiday falls on one of the noteable meteor shower nights is nice, but easy to forget and the meteors are probably not visible in both hemispheres.

      But I think I'll steal the Luna's Winter Night Celebration holiday idea. I just need a nice phonetic alliteration...

      ReplyDelete
    31. @Frith
      Dammit! I meant Rainbow Dash on the Loyalty holiday (Oct 6).

      And I meant to say that the google doc only has 8 hloidays. Here you have ten if you add in Luna's Winter Night Celebration.

      ReplyDelete
    32. "Equestrian" traditionally refers to a horse-rider or someone who likes horses, if I'm not mistaken. No clue what the fuck a barbour is, though.

      ReplyDelete
    33. @BronyMike

      I took the picture, so I can tell you :)

      It's not a barber shop at all, but a place that does sell gear for horse-riders - among other types of clothing.

      I think 'Barbour' is some particular brand name.

      ReplyDelete
    34. Why do I not own those Lyra and Bon Bon figures? Knowing I won't win that auction gives me a sad.

      ReplyDelete
    35. On another note, it's too bad I use Firefox. I'll still take a look at the Trixie theme.

      ReplyDelete
    36. Whenever I see these Lyra images I think of the song in The Little Mermaid. "I want to be..where the people are..."

      ReplyDelete
    37. I'm bidding on that Doctor Whoof sculpture. Why you gotta go and display it to give me more competition.

      ReplyDelete
    38. Lyra in pant somehow reminds me of Dexter's dad, from Dexter's Laboratory.

      Applejack Day on Oct 6th?
      Dammit, missed my birthday by 2 days.

      ReplyDelete
    39. A lot of Doctor Whoof in the Roundup today. Not that I'm complaining, I love seeing him in stuff.

      In a bit of a note relating to last nights Roundup, I found pony toys in Ireland, Tesco's in the Jervis Center in Dublin. They had a lot of Applejack toys but I managed to grab a Fluttershy.

      ReplyDelete
    40. @XEN gK

      No, no! That was a typo. It's Rainbow Dash day on October 6th. The Elements of Harmony follow the sequence of trials in episode two. Rainbow Dash's trial, choosing her friends over the Shadowbolts, was the second to last trial. AppleJack's trial was the first one, that's why her holiday comes first, on February 6th. It makes it easy to remember.

    43. That picture of Lyra wearing pants is unsettling to say the least.

      ReplyDelete
    44. I really want to know why you guys love Trixie so much.

      I mean, she was beaten by Twilight, and Twilight is my second least favorite pony. I think thats show how loser she is.

      But the theme is just fine. Installed on my chrome. Liked the colors :D

      ReplyDelete
    45. Love the PANTS! Pony and the Equestrian Barbour Shop! :D

      ReplyDelete
    46. Yes, Trixie Chrome Theme! :D

      ReplyDelete
    47. The barber shop was pretty cool and that radio station is currently making pretty good background jam music while I write this in anticipation of pony music. C'mon radio. Don't let me down!

      All I will say about pants is that I'm not going to say anything about pants.

      ReplyDelete
    48. I love that Dr. Whoof animation to death. And I want more. And Matt Smith should totally do a guest voice as THE Horse Doctor on MLP. Make it so, Hasbro!

    49. Hunh! The MLP:FIM feature is on the main channel on KZSC! I assume that means it's also over the air. Maybe they'll play some of my favorites (like Notacleverpony's Winter Wrap Up)!

    55. So we're going from socks to pants? I don't even understand the whole sock thing, how am I supposed to comprehend this?

    56. You know, I just realized, Lyra is a pony. Shes standing upright with pants on. Thats kinda odd...
