Bon-Bon: Oh, I forgot to ask you yesterday. What kind of pie did Pinkie Pie give you?
Lyra: Apple.
Bon-Bon: Really?
Lyra: Yes. Why?
Bon-Bon: Well, I got an apple pie too. Lyra: Hey! We got the same… Wait a minute. You got an apple pie? Not, oh say, chocolate fudge?
Bon-Bon: What a strange question. Are you accusing me of lying?
Lyra: No no. It’s just that Pinkie Pie made everypony their favorite pie. I thought yours was- Bon-Bon: Chocolate fudge- I’m flattered you noticed. Upon reflection I believe you are right and it was a chocolate fudge pie. So then, your favorite pie is apple?
Lyra: Yes.
Bon-Bon: I see. I wonder how she makes apple pies for you. I’ll go ask Pinkie Pie how she makes hers. Lyra: Go ahead. Bon-Bon: Yes. I believe I’ll say “Pinkie Pie, how do you make Lyra’s favorite pie?“
Lyra: Wh- That’s a strange way to word that, isn’t it? You wouldn’t just ask how she makes apple pies?
Bon-Bon: What if she does something special for your apple pies? I’d like to know for your benefit, after all. [Pause] Or is there some even more specific way I should ask? [Pause] Maybe you have something you’d like to share?
Is what I would have said but you drew that on a paper towel! O~H!
JFGDSKFSDKJ SON OF A B. I WAS REALLY HOPING YOU WOULDNT NOTICE
Listen i DID draw it on a napkin but then i messed up on both sides and went to get a new napkin, then i saw the paper towels and i was like Hey Same Thing, she wont NOTICE
Bon-Bon: Uh… Hi. I went to use the bathroom and I saw your light on- Lyra: Then why were you in the kitchen?
Bon-Bon: Alright… My fat flank rolled out of bed deliberately to get a snack. Happy?
[Pause]
Bon-Bon: So uh… Whatcha eatin’?
Lyra: Expired novelty gummies.
Bon-Bon: Ah… [Crinkle] September… of last year. Closer to hard candy than gummies these days.
Lyra: Mmm.
Bon-Bon: I got these for you, what, four Hearth’s Warmings back? I assumed by now you were just going to keep them.
Lyra: Mmm.
Bon-Bon: Having one of those introspective nights then. I guess I’ll leave- Lyra: You don’t have to.
[Pause]
Lyra: You can stay, if you want.
Bon-Bon: Okay.
Lyra: Want a gummy?
Bon-Bon: Sure. Why not?
[Pause]
Bon-Bon: Huh. They start off hard, but then they slowly turn back to normal.
[Pause]
Lyra: Yeah…
Spike: And I promise you won’t hurt my feelings. I just need to know which one is better!
Lyra: [Gulp] Seriously, Spike? You tried to beat sweet potatoes with cauliflower?
Spike: Well, that was part of the contest…
Lyra: I mean, yeah, [Chew Smack] Twilight’s sweet potato muffins are a little doughy, but it’s sweet potato! [Gulp] You can’t beat sweet potato with- Bon-Bon: The cauliflower bites are the superior dish.
Spike: [Gasp] Thanks Bon-Bon! Yeahoo!
[Pause]
Lyra: You just lied to a child.
Bon-Bon: Which of us has the chef’s
palette? Besides, if somepony didn’t tell him he won I think he was going to get sick eating all those muffins.
Lyra: You just admitted your decision wasn’t impartial.
Bon-Bon: Did you see the cover of VAIN this month?
Lyra: Oh yeah! I remember when Rarity had her mane like this for a bit. Sometime around May I think? I really dug the punk rocker look. Though the faux-leather was kind of weird.
Bon-Bon: Yes, I think maybe Fluttershy or Applejack pulled her aside and explained the implications, especially with Ponyville’s cattle residents. I noticed she didn’t wear the vest very long.
Lyra: I liked the denim jacket better anyway. More rebel.
Bon-Bon: Then I remember she switched to that canvas dress and hat that she let foals draw on.
Tootsie: I drew a flower!
Lyra: That was pretty cool too. When did all of that start anyway?
Bon-Bon: I think it was around Mare’s Day.
Lyra: Oh yeah! How did your mother like the flowers?
Bon-Bon: She said they were nice and thanked me. Basic stock response.
Lyra: Oh… Sorry.
Bon-Bon: Hmm? About what?
Lyra: Uh… Nothing, I guess.
My Dashboard for the last few days:
1) It’s a complicated subject. How is power distributed? And not just ideologically, but logistically. Why should you trust… anything or anyone? What is equal versus what is fair?
Legal tender itself isn’t really the best means of rewarding an individual for contributing to society. It’s nice for trading a hair cut for a bushel of cucumbers. But a particularly greedy individual can a) horde money until they financially overwhelm society, or b) take their wealth/industry elsewhere if the government attempts to redistributed it. And that’s if all things were equal. When greed corrupts even the system that distributes the money, any attempt to redistribute it can be terminated “legally”.
But the liquidity of money and the modernized ability to so easily reinvest it is also what allows a society to rapidly advance technologically and culturally. Unfortunately, even that comes at the cost of financial viability. It’s not going to matter how advantageous something might be, say medically, if there’s no long term financial return for it.
2) I obviously can’t vouch for the validity of it, but I did remember seeing this post (with lots of swears) that says price gouging is illegal and should be reported. That doesn’t stop anyone from doing it at this moment. But more reports would lead to more arrests with a higher probability of news spreading, which should lead to fewer cases in the future.
my gf wanted an eevee evolution that was just “big eevee” so here they are
wow a real updog
Lyra: Da dadada danda This is the joke that never ends. ‘Cause you just fell for it again. Bon-Bon: If we were married I’d want a divorce. Lyra: Somepony just- stah ha ha ha ha ha! I mean really?! Really Bon-Bon! “Well gee there, Lyra. An updog you say? I don’t think I’m quite familiar. Hyuck!“ Hah hah hah!
Bon-Bon: You ever heard the story of the filly who cried wolf?
Lyra: You ever heard the story of the filly who cried UPDOG?! HA~! Hahahahaha!
