@Whats: And somehow, months later, it all comes back to gelding. Sorry Orion.

Well that's an awkward page topper.

Oh yeah, gelding. Excuse me.

...Aaaaaaah!

Yeah, Andromeda is heading for you. You got over 9000 years until it collides.

#327528 Lopiny Wed, 9th Jan '13 7:36:55 PM from somewhere

Clarification, please: Is gelding the verb or the resulting individual?

Oh, the thread? Don't worry, it's just dead.

#327529 Orion Aurora Wed, 9th Jan '13 7:38:09 PM from Andromeda Galaxy

@Lopiny: Verb

Yeah, Andromeda is heading for you. You got over 9000 years until it collides.

#327530 Meta Four Wed, 9th Jan '13 7:38:47 PM from riding the wave

I know for sure it can be used as a noun, but I'd be surprised if it isn't also a verb.

If you ask me, the space whale was your magnum opus, honey.

That reminds me, the MLP comic map has a "Gelding Grotto" on it. That's some Getting Crap Past the Radar if I ever saw it.

Also, Orion's tail is immortal now?

Question forna fanfic.

If one member of CMC decides to leave Ponyville to find something, would the rest follow her along?

This I do so that I will not live in regret.

#327533 Meta Four Wed, 9th Jan '13 7:41:25 PM from riding the wave

The first time I ever encountered the word was in C. S. Lewis' The Abolition of Man, where he makes a metaphor about certain self-defeating educational methods: "We castrate, then bid the geldings be fruitful."

Orion's tail has been immortal for as long as I've posted in this thread.

If you ask me, the space whale was your magnum opus, honey.

#327534 Crowfall Wed, 9th Jan '13 7:41:53 PM

@Lopiny: I'm pretty sure it's both.

@d Roy: Probably.

My adventures with Doctor Hooves resulted in some weird things.

Wait, Gelding Grotto? Excuse me while I take a long shower to forget that.

#327536 Lopiny Wed, 9th Jan '13 7:44:13 PM from somewhere

Like I said before, it probably has a lot of thorny bushes lying low.

Oh, the thread? Don't worry, it's just dead.

@Orion: They think up quite "delightful" names for those old places sometimes :V

And somehow, months later, it all comes back to gelding. Sorry Orion.

To be fair, gelding is canon with the new map.

Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.

#327539 Lopiny Wed, 9th Jan '13 8:01:43 PM from somewhere

Or maybe it's perfectly fine, and its name was the result of a weird mushroom and a perverted cartographer.

Oh, the thread? Don't worry, it's just dead.

#327540 Orion Aurora Wed, 9th Jan '13 8:02:36 PM from Andromeda Galaxy

And yet the shower did nothing to help me.

Why is there a Gelding Grotto?

Yeah, Andromeda is heading for you. You got over 9000 years until it collides.

#327541 Ace Of Scarabs Wed, 9th Jan '13 8:03:27 PM from Singapore

It might have been from some pre-Unification empire that had a caste of eunuchs.

#327542 Crowfall Wed, 9th Jan '13 8:04:40 PM

@Orion: Who knows. The only way to find out for sure is to go there. You up for an adventure?

#327543 Orion Aurora Wed, 9th Jan '13 8:07:52 PM from Andromeda Galaxy

@Crow: Not if it means what I think it means.

Yeah, Andromeda is heading for you. You got over 9000 years until it collides.

Come on, Orion! I promise they won't cut your balls off! I'll start shooting if that happens!

Death is only your FIRST destination today.

#327545 storyyeller Wed, 9th Jan '13 8:11:33 PM from Appleloosa

What else could it mean? Geld is German for money, but gelding isn't a German word.

Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.

#327546 Lopiny Wed, 9th Jan '13 8:13:14 PM from somewhere

Like I said, it may be the result of a perverted cartographer and a weird mushroom that only grows there.

After all, something similar happened here, with a poor dinosaur getting named after a scrotum because of a perverted paleontologist and an oddly shaped fossil.

Oh, the thread? Don't worry, it's just dead.

Ponies have anatomy to lose?

Insert something witty that makes me better than all of you, here.

#327548 Orion Aurora Wed, 9th Jan '13 8:15:29 PM from Andromeda Galaxy

Look, I am not going there, and that's that.

Yeah, Andromeda is heading for you. You got over 9000 years until it collides.

@Steve: They only do that if you're a boss. Or sufficiently like a boss, anyway.

There's a storm that's raging through my frozen heart tonight.

Oh.

Okay, so Gelding Grotto - Good place for a family day out, or avoid like the plague?
