My Little Pony G3 Rainbow Dash did not believe in pegasi.

Well. Huh.

@ crimson: Was it a cinnamon challenge?

I took a sip of my grandmother's Moxie

soda when I was in my early teens. It was the worst stuff I ever tasted.

Tonic water. My cousin LOVED the thing. Me? Can't understand how someone can actually drink that for the taste.

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

I've never even heard of Moxie soda before. It sounds like something you'd use to gain powers in a future Bioshock sequel.

I don't like it plain, but mix it with some gin or vodka and some lime and it's pretty tasty.

@Syd: no, i was just being stupid.

I've known a lot of people who grew up with cinnamon-sugar stuff and didn't realize that cinnamon is spicy by itself rather than sweet.

I think the closest I've come to that is eating raw cocoa powder. And one time I tried some 85% Dark Chocolate, which basically tastes exactly like cocoa powder in solid form.

i think i just found a fan fic that i might read.

#356660 Crowfall Fri, 12th Apr '13 9:45:43 PM

Fair warning on that one, the later chapters become very dependent on memes for humor. I found it really annoying, but your tolerance for them might be different.

#356661 d Roy Fri, 12th Apr '13 9:46:07 PM from Buffalo, New York

Ah, that one. I tried the first chapter but didn't read further, for some reason. I don't think I disliked the fic.

Yeah, it's pretty decent.

#356663 Irish Zombie Fri, 12th Apr '13 9:48:53 PM from Texas

I read some of it, but yeah, I dropped it once the writing started getting too referential. A little nod here or there is fine, but being overly referential is one of my pet peeves.

Oh, no! They've all transformed into giant, Swedish, lederhosen-clad yodelers! Run!

#356664 crimsonstorm 15 Fri, 12th Apr '13 9:49:32 PM from A parallel universe

noted. i'll proceed with caution.

#356665 Crowfall Fri, 12th Apr '13 9:52:31 PM

Yeah, I dropped it once Slenderpony became a major character. I mean seriously? What the crap.

#356666 Irish Zombie Fri, 12th Apr '13 9:54:19 PM from Texas

Slenderpony became a major character

Say wat now?

Oh, no! They've all transformed into giant, Swedish, lederhosen-clad yodelers! Run!

please, no spoilers.

@Irish - He was originally a captain and now he got promoted.

#356669 Irish Zombie Fri, 12th Apr '13 9:57:21 PM from Texas

@Roy: Great. Now you've got me thinking of Slenderman singing this:

Oh, no! They've all transformed into giant, Swedish, lederhosen-clad yodelers! Run!

#356670 cdrw Fri, 12th Apr '13 9:59:15 PM

@ Irish: I noticed you left a comment on my story, which means you've read it. (Thanks for the positive comment too, btw) Do you think I'm being to referential with my humor?

Fun fact: In US Army, if you have a bachelor's degree you can reasonably become a captain in 3 years.

@Keg. Oh that's nothing, something funnier is that Cathy Weseluck played G3 Rarity. This quote just seal's the deal.

Pinkie Pie: Rarity, Where are you?

Rarity: Hiding.

Pinkie Pie: Well Come on out and meet our friend Spike. We think he can help you.

Rarity: What's a Spike?

@crimson: Sorry about that. Anyway, it was reasonably entertaining when it wasn't bugging me, so don't let me stop you from trying it.

#356674 Japanese Teeth Fri, 12th Apr '13 10:08:19 PM from Meinong's jungle

I almost never use those types of references when I write unless I'm going for straight comedy from the start. Otherwise it breaks the tone too much.

Anyway, I've got to get some sleep.

@CDRW: Nah, you're good. My main gripe with referential humor is that often if you don't know the reference, then there is no humor. That, and it tends to dominate works that use it that way. I actually can't recall any specific references from your story, and its more original stuff is why I keep reading.

Well, that and the utter ridiculousness of the premise.
