Apple Pie?

It'd give him an excuse to mill around Sweet Apple Acres all the time (though apple pie might be a bit... american for somepony like him)

The welsh have no real problems. We're probably the most apathetic of the bunch. Didn't you guys also have potato famines?

Oh, yeah. Canada is a fantastic country. Crime in most places is very low (except the praries), there's a really great, friendly culture (except in the praries), and believe it or not, socialism has done a lot of great things for our infrastructure (except in the praries)

The thing is, Canada has a culture of humility. It's part of that really 'polite' persona, is the thing. Pushing your achievements is seen as being sort of rude, so it all goes under the radar. Everything does well, but no one really wants to take credit so it all just seems very meh. That's the whole thing about Canada's place on the Cultural Cringe page - it isn't that we aren't proud of ourselves, it's that we don't like to seem pushy on the world stage.

Apple pie works!

Could Mac and Peeler be friends? They seem about the same age, right?

Y'know what? That sounds like my kind of place.

I never really felt very...Irish. Chirst, I can go days without drinking!

Eeeyup...in the 1840's...and took until the 1960's to fully straighten itself out.

Do they? I don't know, Big Mac seemed more in his mid-twenties to me. I guess he likes to keep to himself, but I would have thought if he was about Peeler's age he'd have found himself a mare.

'Course they could still be friends. They might run into each other now and then at a pub or something, and have a nice chat. Big Mac is the peaceful type, so Peeler would probably appreciate him. Maybe give him advice occasionally, or something.

I'm sensing the Praries aren't a very nice place?

I still wanna live in America, at least for a few years. To soak in the culture if nothing else.

I know...

Peeler wonders where he's going wrong on the first couple of days...Mac explains that ponyville is a laid back place that requires a gentle touch.

And he advises that he talk to AJ and her friends.

And Peeler can become a cool big bro to Mac. Because assuming Peeler lost his wife...and Mac lost his parents...they might have something in common then.

If ya ever come to America, Ginger, take a trip through the American South (Texas, Arkansas, and some other states). Maybe we could get together and talk about how awesome Applejack is!

and he communicates ALL that through a combination of flow charts, hoof signals and strategically placed "Eeyups" & "Nopes"

btw, where's the bible belt in America, exactly?

Right here.

And come on I'm sure Big Mac and Peeler would have a nice long, detailed, and friendly chat.

Well, I grew up in a town a bit north of Winnipeg, the capital of one of the prairie provinces. Winnipeg is the murder capital of Canada, and is colloquially known as 'the city that happened'. The four seasons are 'winter', 'not winter', 'almost winter' and 'road construction'. Insurance has borked my family on more than one occasion and the government, as is true everywhere, is slow and arduous. Each prairie province's biggest claim to fame is that it's better than the other prairie provinces.

They're not exactly horrible, but they're definitely not the best places in Canada. I'm just more inclined to make fun of them because that's where I grew up.

It's just I'm fascinated with how far they could take Big Mac's Flanderization I want to see him cured of it eventually, but I might as well enjoy it for a little while

If Peeler is older than the main 6 (early 30's), should he have outdated taste in music?

Is there anything particularly WRONG with the bible belt of America?

He listens to country music. (Pohnny Cash)

Okay, I have to punch MYSELF for even THINKING that name

edited 23rd Nov '11 5:17:27 PM by gingerninja666

But Ponny Cash is cool.

Racism, Sexism, homophobia...

As for Peeler's taste in music... no. No country. I swear to god. Maybe he likes old rock.

...his favourite band is The Police.

He used to be into Punk Rock...he secretly still is

...I C WAT U DID THAR!!!

Given that they guys who came up with this monstrosity are Canadian, you have no right to complain about Turducken.

I'd say classic rock; like The Beatles, or maybe stuff like Led Zeppelin if he was a bit wilder in his youth. Or whatever the pony-equivalent would be.

edited 23rd Nov '11 5:25:38 PM by JapaneseTeeth

You got a problem with country music, kegi? (or just with him liking it in particular)

It could be a taste that him and the Apple family share

I'm honestly not sure whether THAT, or the Fast Food Lasagne is worse

edited 23rd Nov '11 5:26:00 PM by gingerninja666

Yeah, but their whole shtick is that their food is horrible. The worst average canadian food is Poutine (French fries with cheese curds and gravy).

And yes, I do have an issue with country music. I forgot to mention: Radios in the prairies play nothing but country music. I had to listen to it, every morning, for 18 years. Some of it is alright, but for the most part I despise country music.

I kid I kid.

I'm not a big fan of country music either. I don't know; it just bugs me for some reason.

What would a ponified Meat Loaf be called?

Tofu Loaf?

Bread Loaf?

Meat Lope?

Peeler likes classic rock, especially The Bridles (of "I Want To Hold Your Hoof" fame.) He dismisses their "psychadelic" period, though, and thinks "I Am The Seahorse" is the worst song they ever did.

Can I give you money?

What would a ponified Meat Loaf be called?

Meat Hoof.
