Is she brushing it with a toothbrush?

Animeboye, I for one can't tell whether your response to Petrie's statement was a deliberate affirmation of what he was saying about Weirdraptor, but even if it wasn't, I can see how he would perceive it as another insensitive remark. There is no call for your subsequent responses to him, however; you are only escalating things into a flame war.

 
Now that I've had time to calm down I guess I should clear some things up.

What I said wasn't necessarily intended to be a jab at WeirdRaptor. It was a result of poor choice of words on my part. I probably could have put it a better way but...well...too late now.

My issue isn't with him or anyone else. In fact, the Bronies/non Bronies on this site are actually some of the more mature ones I've seen on forums. I'm annoyed with Bronies who just won't stop with the drama in this community. I'm annoyed with Bronies who think that everyone who doesn't love My Little Pony is a hater, I'm annoyed with Bronies who think that confessing you like MLP is the same as a gay person coming out of the closet(and there are people like that), and, I'm annoyed with the Bronies who think this fandom is the most creative one out there because of all the fan content(what fandom doesn't have the stuff we do? I hate to say it but this fandom really isn't that unique in that department).

I didn't mean to offend anyone and I didn't want this to escalate into...this. I'm sorry I offended anyone. This'll be my last post on this. I just wanted to try and clear things up.

It looks like she is.  Maybe since it was handy at the moment or she uses that since it has soft bristles.  Makes me wonder if Pinkie uses a toothbrush when she washes her pet, forgot his name.

Yes. Same as the person brushing the bat in the original photo. :lol Apparently the bats enjoy it, the same way bats in a colony groom each other for comfort and social bonding.

On the whole toothbrush thing: I tell you, there have been some weird quirks in brony fan art. Ever since that background pon Colgate hit the scene, the whole "brushy brushy" thing has really taken off. It's amusing, so I don't mean that in a bad way.

Ha! Spike's a leprechaun. "They're after me lucky gems!"

Is it bad that I want to see the ponies drunk on apple cider(Hey, it's the closest thing they have to alcohol on the show)?

Funny picture.  When I looked at it I was thinking also that it's cute and funny that they made Spike dress so he looks like a leprechaun.  

As for ponies being drunk, they'd have to drink hard cider.  Way back in the 70's I heard the difference is hard cider is alchoholic but apple cider isn't.  I've heard recently that much of the world doesn't make the distinction between apple cider and hard cider.  Maybe the distinction isn't as clear in the USA nowadays either, I'm not sure.

If the apple cider is colored green it would fit in with St. Patrick's day very well.

Hmm...I dunno, I thought apple cider was alcoholic. Also, I remember one pony from the Appleloosa episode who I think was hinted at being drunk. As Braeburn was giving the Mane Six a tour of Appleloosa, they come across a saloon and the bartender kicks a pony out who sounded/acted a little drunk.

And yeah it looks like she is brushing her teeth. And Apple Cider is a alcohol if you leave it for a period of time.

They may have changed things since I was a kid.  I heard hard cider is alcoholic and apple cider isn't.  

That beside the point I"m sure there would be alcoholic drinks since from what they've shown pony world is very similar to what is on the earth or use to be on the earth in the case of some technology.  So it stands to reason some pony discovered or invented alcoholic drinks or the first drink.  Maybe an earth pony since they grow the food.  Or maybe a unicorn who was a chemist or alchemist or some herbalist or some other means.

EPISODE POST!

Perhaps today's episode will help everyone get off of the current drama going on.

Games Ponies Play

Here's hoping next season has someone in the Mane Six competing in the games.

Enjoy and I'll see ya later!

Interesting episode.   Though I wonder what it would be like if one saw this episode before one saw last week's episode.

I was surprised the latest episode was Dash-centric.  With the Synopsis, I was half expecting Twilight to take center stage here.  Nope!  Falls on such a personal level for Rainbow that she has to be the main focus.  Who would've thought?

Anyways, for me, the episode was quite enjoyable but nothing special.  It was really good, but falls short in certain areas that would've made it a more enjoyable episode.  I do admit that I got a laugh out of the "Dash-proof" ceiling incident.

It was good, just not as good as it could've been.

For the sake of this thread, I'll just think about the OTHER important thing of the episode everyone is shadowing over with the unneeded drama.

I wonder who will get the destiny of Pinkie in the next episode?

I'll have to wait and see.

See ya later! :wave

I don't know. I didn't think the episode was that great. It wasn't as bad as some of season three's episodes have been but still could have been better.

I can't believe the Mane Six didn't catch on sooner that they had the wrong pony. I mean, really? They didn't think she was acting even slightly strange for a pony who's supposedly the chairman/mare of the Equestria games(I think that's what she was)?

Also, is it just me or is that "Sunshine, sunshine" thing that Twilight and Cadence do whenever they're together getting kind of annoying? I thought it was pretty cute for awhile but after seeing it like five times it starts to get old. I know it's their thing but I don't think they need to do it every time they see each other.

Anyway, for the positive things. I thought it was interesting how this episode intertwined with last week's. Still too bad that Spike always gets the short end of the stick. He really should have gotten to go with them especially considering that he was the one who saved the Crystal Empire. And Rainbow Dash and her dad(Rainbow Dad is what I'm calling him) are adorable together! Seeing that Dash's mom isn't with them, I'm guessing Dashie was raised in a single parent household? Now we just need to see Fluttershy's family.

Not a bad episode. Oh, and I forgot to add that I really wish we could have seen the Equestria games. Maybe we will and it's just going to be like the Grand Galloping Gala: we'll just see them in a later episode.

Yes, after all it does take time from when a city is chosen to host the Olympics to when they start isn't right away.  

Though they could speed it up with an all unicorn construction crew.

This weeks episode was one of the best of S3 until now.

One episode to go before S3 ends.

Yeah I thought it was okay not the greatest episode ever. I thought it was okay the plot kinda bore me a bit but I'm glad I watched it.
