Ponies are great and friendship is magic, but do we really need more?
Specifically referring to this FPP. There seems to be a small explosion of MLP posts in recent weeks.

I don't know. One man's My Little Pony is another man's Doctor Who or Game of Thrones. If there's a glut of things people on the internet are excited about which they post about here and which don't interest me, there doesn't seem to be a compelling reason to do much more than not read it.

"The ponies never stop! They just keep coming and coming and coming; there's never a let-up! It's relentless! Hundreds of comments on every thread! Every day they pile up more and more and more! Friggin' rainbows everywhere. And sparkles! And you gotta read 'em! But the more you read, the more they keep coming in! And then you're seeing them in your sleep! And then the flag button breaks!

So just to be clear... being a guy and watching My Little Pony makes you a "brony", which is totally cool and fine with us. But wearing neon shirts stuff "ironically" makes you a "hipster" and we can complain about you incessantly and make tumblr blogs about you and shit.

No way you have a NY apartment big enough to have even a half-pony freezer.
Maybe three months worth of pony meat, if you eat it sparingly, but three months of ponies? You're gonna need commercial refrigeration for that.

I have spent nine years wondering why in the fuck, in the midst of the best television that has ever been produced in the history of ever, people got so fixated on Firefly, of all things, and when would they get over it. Pony haters: I assure you, it will not end. You know how a little kid can watch the same fucking movie over and over and never get sick of it? That's what the internet is when it latches onto something. Zombies. Space hillbillies. Pirates. Ponies. Not. End.

Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Mal,
A poor Independent, barely keepin' out of jail.
Then one day he was shootin' Reaver ass,
And out from the moon came a squad of Alliance.
Core, that is. That's no moon. That's a space station.
Well the first thing you know ol Mal's a smuggler,
Crewmen said, "Mal, fly away from there."
Said, "FOX Network is the place you ought to be,"
So they loaded up the West and they moved the Serenity.
To space, that is. Terraformed. Like California.
Well now it's time to say goodbye to Mal and all his crew.
And FOX would like to say to fans, "You know what? Hey, fuck you!"

Favorites Pony is the glue that holds MetaFilter together. Or will be.

As a child of the 80s, I think Metafilter can only be improved by posts on such topics as My Little Pony, Rainbow Brite, Strawberry Shortcake, and the Care Bears.

Less pony posts? Answer: Neigh.
At her first Christmas, my niece woke up to discover that Santa left her a herd of My Little Ponies. She rushed to the tree, spotted a Pony, held it up, and said "Neigh! Neigh!" (which was about all she could say at that time, anyway). And that was about the cutest damn thing I've ever seen.
Someone should do smurfs riding ponies...
Smurfs riding ponies ... with guitar ... !

Just a reminder that pony people are welcome over at the metacooler. Except we keep you all segregated in your own corral over there. Hope that's, like, magical. And stuff.

You know, over dinner not 5 hours ago I was discussing the viability of a musical version of Equus, and we discarded the idea because we figured it would be too hard to get singing horses.

That's how space hillbillies talk in bed.
I think the existence of Favorites Pony proves that Metafilter could really do with even more ponies in bed.

In addition to the places specklet mentioned, I've also bought rabbit from the butcher shop side of Laurelhurst Market. Dunno if Gartners has bunny, but you should go there anyway if you haven't-- they're fucking awesome. One of the last few great, old-school butchers in town.

When someone says they watch the MLP show, I feel the same way I would if we were discussing books and they said, "Well right now I'm reading The Cat in the Hat."
That being said, lots of people don't understand why I enjoy some of the things I do (Curb Your Enthusiasm comes to mind as being particularly divisive), so my likes and dislikes are not a great metric for FPPs.
