Nightly Roundup #38

I don't think Fluttershy has ever had a nightly update post.  She goes to bed too early.

Brony Day was definitely interesting, at least in my mailbox.  If pony is still going nuts next summer, and chances are it probably will in some way shape or form, we should definitely run something like this again!

ON TO THE NEWS!

Comedy PMV Submission Post

I like these smaller, less "300 emails overflowing out of my mailbox" events.  Nice and easy.

For those of you who like standup, there are definitely some great ones in here, as well as a few movies scenes mixed in.

If I somehow missed yours (possible with how many emails I have been sorting) Feel free to resend it!

If you would like to suggest small events for the future, feel free to drop something in comments!

Anyway, have some comedy pmv's! 26 Total!

The Great and Powerful Case Files: Lunar Conspiracy

Before treating your miniscule little minds to the Great and Powerful Trixie's brilliant use of the Equestrian language, Trixie recommends, neigh, DEMANDS that you familiarize yourselves with this new video directly from the creators of the show.

dubs

All caught up?  Good.  Now let the Great and Powerful Trixie's boundless knowledge enlighten you to something that only one with Trixie's savant level detective abilities could have possibly picked up on.

Celestia has officially been branded the ONLY pony in Equestria with both wings, and a horn. Clearly, there is an IMPOSTER lurking among us.

Just who IS this Luna?  It's obvious that she never was part of the actual script for the show! The Great and Powerful Trixie has a few theories, all of which have been extensively studied and are on the verge of being upgraded to one hundred percent fact!

• This despicable little moon pony obviously wears a fake horn!
• Luna is ANOTHER spy from Stalliongrad (THOSE FOALS!)
• She's Lauren Faust's OC pony.
• Animation Error

You see good citizens of Equestria,  it appears as though you have all been taken for a ride!  Not only do you worship the very ground she walks on,  but you have the audacity to place such an inferior pony into relationships with someone as illustrious as Trixie!

The Great and Powerful Trixie can only hope that one day this fanboyism dies off, and everypony finally comes to their senses...

Ponies Around the World Round 3

Why do ponies in clothes look so... yah, I wont go there.

Anyway!  Ponies around the world Round 3 is here!  Still 109 emails to go, so I'm guessing we are about halfway finished.   

I've been doing some research on backpacking across Europe, and a few of you have sent me emails with advice.  I'm still trying to decide on the best time of the year to do.  It sounds like Summer is packed, and Winter is freezing, does that make Spring/Fall the best time to head over?

Gotta keep digging!
