@Sereg: Which fic are you referring to? Oh, and also this evening I should finally be able to get a chance to look over your latest chapter.

@Irish: That comic is now in my headcanon.

You mean that I've just linked to a possible cover for? Star Swirl and Stripes Forever. Third in the series.

Thanks!

Huh! My picture of King Zebra already has a fave! (Actually, a couple of my other pics also have faves).

EDIT: Whoops! Actually just one. Pinkie can Move!

Also, I was looking at this and trying to remember why I drew a shirt on Fluttershy. Then I ealised that it's supposed to be barding. Full plate to be exact.

Hey guys, name me some 'manly' occupations if you can.

Mathematician (hey you should see the gender ratios of high level math classes, it's ridiculous)

Trucker, any sort of plant worker(As in, factory type of plant. My only experience with plants is an emulsion plant my dad used to work at, but the atmosphere there was very MA Nly), trainyard employee(Or train worker as well).

If the Keys had a train network, it would be a lot like the the Island Of Sodar. With perhaps it being one of the last places to resist replacing manually pulled trains.

Mmm - come to think of it, the Keys being the K Eys an appropriate MA Nly career could be a sailor - military, fishing, shipping, etc.

New mental picture: pegasi pulled trains. Bridges, who needs em?

@Apple: If you use fisherman as an example, you should definitely watch an episode or two of Deadliest Catch. You have to be a badass to do that.

God, don't remind me. Math, physics, and programming were all sausagefests. We had several profs in physics that were bordering on overtly sexist, which goes a long way to explaining why none of the girls got past 300-level.

I've never seen any sexist professors, luckily. In fact, my all male AP Physics class was taught by a woman.

@ keggy and JT

I definitely need grizzled sea dogs in this setting. Fishing crews would be great, but the problem is, what would ponies fish? Unless they're just shepherding the shoals.

The Keys are turning into a real stalliony place. grin

@ story

For light trains certainly. Unless some Pegasi do have full blown super strength.

Well Fluttershy was shown feeding fish to the ferrets once.

@Applelight: Maybe they farm fish for caviar? Ponies have been shown to eat eggs. Or maybe they could have like seaweed farms or something.

[up][up] Oh yeah, that's true.

[up] They could work. They might go looking for gold too. Not treasure, natural gold. There's a reality show about divers for gold off Alaska.

Could be Pearl Divers, too. I recall reading a story where the main character was a peal diver in the Carribean. IT certainly made it SOUND badass, as the dude didn't use any kind of scuba gear or anything - he just trained to have crazy-ass lung capacity.

#361395 from Manehattan to Canterlot
Awesome...especially because there could be all sorts of dangerous sea creatures.

I've got a great character just finished up now.

And fuck it, they could do it all! grin

[up][up]Crazy good lung capacity you say? Reminds me of Guybrush Threepwood.

(Gah! Ninja pony! I think you made a nemesis of me.)

@Kegisak: I'm pretty sure I've read that story too, but I can't remember the details.

Possible. It was called The Black Peal, and was in spite of everything not at all related to the Pirates of the Caribbean. I don't recall much plot either, but I think the main plot was that a young Peal Diver finds an extremely rare kind of pearl that attracts some rather unpleasant attentions to him.

EDIT: Apparantly not. There's a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Pearl_(Scott_O'Dell) wikipedia page]] on the book that seems to be the one I recall. Enough vague details match up, at any rate.

I'm using pegasi-pulled air cars for my fic-in-progress. I've always thought it was a cool idea. And unicorn-powered hovercrafts as well.

[up]I personally thought of unicorn hoverbikes, but eh.

I wonder what a pony's favorite salad is out of curiosity, and I think I know why Octavia's an Earth Pony.

She's rather down to earth with her personality. -hit by a bow-
