@Kegisak: I'm pretty sure that musical is what the Simpsons episode was referencing. Of course now the Simpsons episode is probably better known than the musical.

Well, the Skype livechat was a success! If you guys are up for another next week (not counting the one at noon for the reruns), I might try and use Vent when that happens.

Also, did Ginger like the episode?

You read it. You read it and you read it. And I want you to read it.

Oh Ginger, we can all be philistines together :V It's not like everybrony has the same cultural reference pools to tap.

well, consider this. the monorail song isn't a villain song, and this is very much like that song.

@ Baronof Barons Now I remember that episode.

They are like the others. Strange, hideous, resisting, fighting. Only these were not like the others. They did not die.

@Ginger: All he's doing is pointing out what appears to be a common misconception about the song. No need to take it personally.

Oh come on Ginger, how many people would have gotten that? I only know of it because Pannic showed the original song anyways.

I don't know. He just seemed to be sounding VERY bitter, and his post was DIRECTLY under mine

Looks like we've got a case of the Weird Al Effect.

Don't feel bad Ginger, I wasn't familiar with the original either.

Whoa...Did I just spot a Back to the Future reference?

Spooky.

#82089 Pannic Sat, 28th Jan '12 8:23:31 AM

Whoooooops.

But yeah. Not bitter. I'm rather stoked. I love moments in the show like this.

I'm the opposite. I recognized the Music Man influences but never saw the Monorail episode.

I also love how they dance around the issue of whether or not the Cider was alcoholic.

Unless I missed something, I'm not familiar with the process

I'd guess that it isn't, given that they didn't give it any time to ferment, although given how much the ponies screw around with the natural order they could totally have some means of instantly fermenting it.

#82097 Crowfall Sat, 28th Jan '12 8:29:07 AM

Cider in the US traditionally isn't alcoholic. I'm pretty sure fresh picked apples aren't fermented in any case.

#82098 kegisak Sat, 28th Jan '12 8:29:24 AM

They didn't do... anything to it, really. They just ground the apples down. It's pretty much apple juice, they didn't even have time to add the spices and what not.

#82099 Ace Of Scarabs Sat, 28th Jan '12 8:29:27 AM from Singapore

Well yeah, iirc they may or may not need yeast to help ferment and a good warm day in the sun.

If they were making AJ's namesake drink, they could freeze all the water out in the winter later.

Yeah. The process can't involve alchohol as I see it.
