A unicorn with wings fashioned out of sails?

I've got one word for you, Watson. Pygmies.

#377977 Meta Four Sat, 22nd Jun '13 12:48:05 PM from riding the wave

A unicorn with artificial wings... or a pegasus with an artificial horn.

And, since today is apparently National Jump To Conclusions Day...

They're pretty common. Am I the only one who's had things like these??

I've never heard them referred to that though. We call them hard candies.

@Applelight: I've given my answer in the fanfic thread.

I thought you guys were more British than American-influenced.

This is complicated to answer.

Our lexicon is closer to the British one than the American one, but includes some American words that aren't British and some words that neiter of you have.The more stable parts of our culture hav more British influences, but we're a real hodge-podge. Our popular culture is more American influenced and we become more American inluenced with each generation and this affects our lexicon as well.

Biggest illustration.

In Britain, a "cookie" is what Americans would call a "cupcake".

In America, a "cookie" is what the British would call a "biscuit".

In South Africa, a "cookie" has the British definition for my parents' generation and for my own, it basically has the American definition but is a bit more specific. We would say, "A cookie is a type of biscuit."

@Syd

I think that before the tribes, alicorns were the norm. One day, a trickster god gave ponykind a choice: Mind, Earth or Wind?

Those who chose Mind lost their wings and became unicorns, those who chose Wind lost their horns and became pegasi and those who chose Earth lost both, becoming Earth Ponies. Finally, he chose two fillies, and gave them massive power, before cursing them with immortality, and giving them the duty to rule the Mutilated Hordes and raise the Heavenly Bodies.

The Founding of Equestria we're shown was what happened when the Sisters left, trying to fight the god to save their people. They failed to destroy him and save their people, but they managed to lose their own immortality, merely becoming exceptionally long lived. Over the years, they experimented with magic until they found a way to make extremely skilled unicorns into alicorns, using the magic inherent in their systems.

I'm poor. There's no point mugging me.

Jolly Rancher? Sounds E Pish to me.

Hey, that's a great name!

That' is really good.

I once had Jammy Dodger too (those are biscuits, and the phrase ) jammy means unfairly lucky and dodger suggests rouge.

Jolly Rancher would work.

Jammy Dodger would be an interesting pony name.

Don't know why I left the homestead

I really must confess

#377985 Purple Dalek Sat, 22nd Jun '13 1:28:09 PM from Betelgeuse

Jammy Dodgers are delicious.

I've got one word for you, Watson. Pygmies.

#377986 Sydxelia Sat, 22nd Jun '13 1:29:38 PM from Cranberry World

I've never even seen Jammy Dodgers here.

Twilight says you're a motherf***er.

#377987 CDRW Sat, 22nd Jun '13 1:30:50 PM

What the hell is a Jammy Dodger, and why does it sound delicious?

There is a tumblr about an insane thread about ponies.

#377988 Kyler Thatch Sat, 22nd Jun '13 1:34:03 PM

It's a special kind of snack food that also doubles as a Dalek spaceship self-destruct button.

(Well, it really isn't, but the Doctor had them going for a while.)

BTW how would you feel if the ponies were Celestial Bodies? similar to the Ursas.

Me neither. I was going to ask if they were like Jolly Jammers.

Also, could someone tell me if it makes sense for Keep Calm and Flutter on to have taken place before Nightmare Rarity?

Thanks. I figured it had the double word thing, it sounded like an Earth Pony name, and was a hard candy. Found it on a wikipedia list for different candies. Plus you could work in a Jolly Roger pun in there.

I have my own theory about alicorns, but I've already mentioned it.

Haven't heard of those either. You and your weird non American foods.

When was Nightmare Rarity?

I haven't been reading the comics, so I don't know where Nightmare Rarity fits in the timeline.

#377996 Sereg Sat, 22nd Jun '13 1:50:18 PM from South Africa

When was Nightmare Rarity?

That's what I'm trying to find out.

I know that it was before Magical Mystery Cure and it must have been after Magic Duel (and Luna Eclipsed), but I don't know enough to pin it down further.

One of my favourite things about visiting other countries is trying their junk food.

Do we even know if the comics fit into the show's canon?

Oh, we have awesome stuff for you to try!

They're trying to prevent the comics from contradicting canon at least.

They're delicious!

@Jolly Jammers. That's pretty much what a Jammy Dodger is except it doesn't have a face. Just a heart in the middle.

When I went to America I developed a minor addictions to pretzels. Salty, yet delicious.

@Nightmares Arc's place at the timeline: I'd peg it before Keep Calm And Flutter On but after Apple Family Reunion, and maybe Spike At Your Service
