I didn't see anyone who explained that it was ranking by time rather than post count. In fact, the post by S Yd that I quited seemed to by implying the opposite.

So if you go on YouTube and type a pony name into the search bar, it changes the color of the thingy up at the top.

I've heard people say that it was just something they were doing for Geek Week, but that's apparently not the case◊.

Youtube is best Brony.

Grass isn't the most nutrient dense thing. Horses have to eat a lot of it in order to get the proper nutrition. This is why you add in oats and other grains into their diet to keep them healthy. A pony would have to spend most of their day grazing on grass to get enough food, so I could imagine that they would have fast food of a sort so they could grab something calorie and nutrient dense enough to free up some of their time from grazing. We rarely see them cooking anything other than sweets so there has to be somewhere they get other types of food?

Sure you could eat grass from your yard for free/cheap but you'd lose your free time in doing it.

I was calling myself a slowpoke for taking so long to get it.

Good point.

Also grass probably isn't the tastiest thing compared to a nice daisy sandwich or whatever.

Don't know if its been posted yet, but the MLP card game was on display at Gen Con recently, and people were playing it! Pics here and here.

Looks like they're using screenshots from the show, which disappoints me slightly, but hey Orion's in the game! (see first pic)

@ Turtle: Oatburgers, hay fries and apple soda.

Yeah, I got nothin'.

Good points indeed. I do wonder if wheat's a staple in their diet. (Given the baked goods galore, I can't say it's much of a stretch.)

They do apparently use eggs. So they aren't completely vegan. I'd imagine they use milk as well if they are doing a lot of baking, or making icecream.

I'm guessing they are probably ovo-lacto vegetarians.

You can make a pretty tasty burger using re-hydrated dried beans, diced veggies, and oats. I went on a vegetarian kick for a bit when I was trying to lose weight.

I bet they'd eat regular french fries, but hay fries is more horse-themed

All those apples they eat would give a real horse colic though

Apples seem to be a staple in their diet. Wheat would be an implied staple due to all the baking they do, but it's never shown. For a while my headcanon is that the Appleloosans had figuredc out how to make flour out of apples.

That veggie burger is an interesting idea. I like the idea of meat substitutes in FIM.

(falls through roof, crashes on table, breaks it) Ughhhh. (gets up and looks at hole in roof) Did I do that? (looks at audience)

Looking at the original size of that first pic, the photo-blurred letters look like they might be Ascended Fanonization of the Fan Nicknames "Bill Neigh" and "Star Hunter" on those two ponies' cards there; hopefully there'll be clearer shots soon!

Depending on the type, veggie burgers can be pretty tasty. I prefer the veggie burgers we get at work to the regular burgers. Course that's because by the time we get them they've been sitting out for hours, and the regular burgers don't keep as well.

What else can be made from them?

The cards use screenshots from the show instead of original art? Welp, there goes my interest in the CCG.

(Singing) Heigh ho! Heigh ho! Heigh ho! Heigh ho! Heigh ho! Heigh ho! Heigh ho! Hum! Heigh Ho! Heigh ho! It's home from work we go! Doo-Doo-Doo-Doo-Doo-Doo-Doo-Doo! Heigh ho! Heigh ho!

some people will probably make custom cards with custom artwork, or just make new cards just to change the artwork.

Prettymuch any meat based food has a veggie analogy. There is tofu "meat" ... I have even seen realistic looking Tofu "fish"

I never quite understood WHY you would want to eat a piece of tofu shaped like meat... you are trying to avoid meat... so why eat something that looks/tastes like it? If you're that desperate for a steak eat one, don't eat a tofu steak :P

Checkers or Five Guys

I've never even heard of those.

^^ I used to do that with the Star Wars CCG when I was in elementary school. I made cards of myself and all the guys in my boy scout patrol.

@turtle: Maybe its for people who are avoiding meat for health reasons, but still wish they could eat meat?

Copy-pasting from the comics thread, but mostly I want to make sure you guys see this variant cover.

Both of these were teased at Comic Con and so nothing really new, but I love the Andy Price cover (Pirate Captain Celestia!). Also, the Spike comic has a bullet point that says "Fan favorite artist Agnes Garbowska’s first interior MLP art!" Didn't recognize the name... turns out she's done some covers.

Pirates! Yes!
