It must be wonderful to be a pegasus. Soaring through the sky without a care in the world, the wind in your face as you gaze out at the beauty around you and finally crashing in a comfy cloud to take a nice summer afternoon nap. Sounds perfect to me.
News time guys! Check it out after the break.
Heartwarming Brony Story
What better way to start off the Roundup than with a really sweet story? A Brony recently visited a friend's granddaughter's birthday party and gave her an awesome experience she is sure to remember forever! Read the whole story down below in this wonderful Brony's own words.
So I was flown out from Alabama up to North Carolina this past Friday for a friends granddaughter’s 5 year old ‘My Little Pony themed birthday party. She loves, loves LOVES Rainbow Dash! They had me ring the doorbell to their front entrance, and she answered the door…Jaw dropped wide open, speechless.
All the kids were crazy for it, it was a smashing success. I handed the little girl a 10” Rainbow Dash plush I got for her. She didn’t want to let go of it, lol.
Then the typical party stuff occured - kids kept handing me toys (and fake food trying to feed Dash, hah). You know how hard it is to do that stuff with hooves? XD
We all played in the backyard for a bit - soccer, swings, piñata - then went inside to a custom cake which was really, really awesome. Then the goofy pics had to happen with the adults.
When all said and done, it was something that the little girl will always remember, and will be the talk of the school for some time. :)
This is what being a Brony is all about.

Ultra Fast Pony - Episode 21
Ponibooru Film Night
Copy Paste:
Poster artist DaisyHead here. This week for film night, we will be watching what is considered to be the absolute worst sci-fi movie created. And thats saying a lot considering Actium Maximus exists. Go ahead, look that up. Originally written as a book by scientology founder L Ron Hubbard,
Battlefield
Earth was adapted into a movie by John Travolta. Horribly executed,
horribly written, horribly acted, and just plain horrible. Every shot is
an angle, everybody
overacts, John Travolta has the gall to make himself a main character
and not even light can escape the plot holes in this movie. Way to go
Travolta. You did Hubbards novel proud.
Hosts for this week will be:
DaisyHead
Feral Socks
Psychopomf
Roboshi
Pinkie Clone
Starly
Harlequin Jester
LOCATION WILL BE HERE: http://www.livestream.
TIMES WILL BE FRI 2/8 4PM PST/ 7PM EST SAT 2/9 MIDNIGHT GMT
