So has anyone heard about this new show?

[Legendary_Bibo]

It's called My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and yes it's a cartoon.

Now, I know most of your first thoughts are "that's a show for little girls, I'm a man, I would never watch it GRRRR!!!" as you take a swig of nuts and bolts out of a tin can.

That's what I first thought, but the thing is that it's actually a good cartoon with antics on par with classics such as Bugs Bunny. It also has a good voice cast, and animation. Also, it frequently has new songs in several episodes.

The show was created by Lauren Faust (Powerpuff Girls, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends), and her husband. Her goal was to make show with a target audience of young females, but without making it stupidly girly so that even their parents could enjoy it. She succeeded beyond expectations, and most of her audience are males in the 20-34 age group. I've become a fan of the show myself, and I figured some of you guys would enjoy it. Also, a lot of people recommend to at least watch the first four episodes before making a judgment.

I worked on this yesterday, I'll probably write up the README tonight, and reupload it for people who aren't sure on how to install it. Basically as root just extract the folders into /usr/share/backgrounds, and in Appearance (System -> Preferences -> Appearance) click on Add, go to the directory, click on the drop down menu on the bottom right that says 'images' and click all files, then click the .xml file. I have them set to cycle every 5 minutes, but in the README I'll describe how to change how long it takes for them to change.

Well I guess it's not technically new. The 20th episode aired today, and there's 6 episodes left of the first season, but it's still relatively new.

Can you watch it on netflix?

[TOFU11]

Even better, You can watch it for free on youtube.

[Legendary_Bibo]

Can you watch it on netflix?

Sadly no, but like Tofu said it's up on youtube, and a lot of the episodes up are in HD, and there's even a torrent link for all of them in HD.

Also, Habro is fully aware of it, and they have no plans of going after the uploaders. The general consensus is that most of us are going to buy them once they're released on Blu-Ray/DVD because buying videos on iTunes is stupid.

Ok so I watched some of the first episode. I am not into cartoons anymore but it wasn't bad for a kids show. It is way better than that crap they have on nick now.

If you're going to watch just one episode, I recommend Episode 25. The first two aren't the greatest. Don't worry you won't need to know much in order to follow along.

that's a show for little girls, I'm a man, I would never watch it GRRRR!!!

I am sorry Bibo, but there isnt a force in hell that could make me watch my little ponies.

I am so glad I am so resistant to the show's encroaching of your mind. No attempt at converting me has worked - no, it only made me hate it worse. I already have a severely negative relationship with the ponies - and it only gets worse each day. I've seen people attempt to convert me everywhere, be it Skype, Team Fortress 2 or the Internet in general.

[Copper Bezel]

On the Steam groups, &c., I'd go the other route there, Bibo; I don't think it's a thing for folks who still think of masculinity as a thing.

On the other hand, it got a shout-out of sorts on NPR's Wait Wait. See the Bluff the Listener bit here (http://www.npr.org/templates/rundowns/rundown.php?prgId=35&prgDate=06-18-2011).

Yeah, that's the wrong depiction, even Fox News did better (only slightly). The media seems to be attacking guys who watch the show lately without actually researching anything. It's one of the popular things right now.

Eh, I stopped caring what people thought of me back in high school.

I thought this was going to be a thread about a new show about Linux. I am disappoint.

new?

I remember my sister watching this and playing with "my little ponies" when we were children!

So, it's just a 'new' remake, correct?

My little pony is like.. 30 years old! lol

Anyway,
I did try to watch an episode after you suggested it in the screenshots thread one day..
but could not make it past the first episode and had to switch to a documentary or something. lol

[Gremlinzzz]

Its not a new show.
My Little Pony is a brand of toy ponies marketed primarily to young women and children and produced by the toy manufacturer Hasbro.[1] These ponies can be identified by their colorful bodies and manes, and typically a unique symbol or series of symbols on one or both sides of their haunches. Accordingly, the ponies are named after the symbols on their haunches.

Following the related My Pretty Pony toy, introduced in 1981, My Little Pony was launched in 1983. The line became popular during the 80s. The original toy line ran from 1983 to 1995 (1992 in the U.S.) and inspired animated specials, including an animated feature length movie and three animated television series. The brand was relaunched between 1997 and 2003 (1999 in the U.S.), and then fully relaunched globally in 2003. My Little Pony celebrated its 25th Anniversary in 2008.:D

True, if you're referring to earlier iterations of the franchise;

My Little Pony Friendship is Magic is an American animated television series that began airing on the United States cable channel, The Hub, in the last quarter of 2010. This incarnation of the Hasbro toy was developed for television by Lauren Faust, who had previously worked on the Cartoon Network series The Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends with their creator, her husband Craig McCracken.

It's the newest iteration, and I attempted to watch one of the older episodes, and I was facepalming at how crappy and stupid the show used to be. I lasted like 3 mintues.

Very nice! I'm still (in no hurry) trying to customize the login screen -- actually I rarely see it since I just dm-crypt my home partition and log in automatically after unlocking it at boot. But I did manage to change the background of the GDM login screen to the same 1920x1080 "Derpian" image.

I damn well believe that resistance is NOT futile and I am out there to PROVE IT! In fact, I am living, walking, breathing proof that you CAN resist the pony influx myself! I watched it before and I got bored within twelve seconds. Within a minute I couldn't take it anymore. I shall never forgive myself for making me go through that torture... but the main point of this paragraph is to prove that it IS possible to resist the ponies.

You don't like any "odd" things?
or things that some (or most) would find silly?

my little pony is just not one of mine.
but really, so what?

Embrace your weirdness!
Put it on display!
Be proud of it! lol :D

[forrestcupp]

I wouldn't watch My Little Ponies even if Chuck Norris did all of the voice acting. ;)

This conversation should go in the thread about things we do that we don't want to admit. How in the world can you compare MLP to Looney Tunes and have a clear conscience?

I need to customize grub, I see it all the time, and it looks hideous. I can't get it beyond the 640x480 res (same with splash screen, it happens after installing ati graphics drivers), but is it easy? Like on a scale on typing a few commands to writing a whole conky configuration where does the difficulty lie between?

You didn't resist them...you did watch them then made your opinion which is different than saying you hated them without even watching them. You gave it a chance at least.

You're resistant to accepting them fully, but yeah at least your opinion is justified. Some people like it, some people don't, but I don't get it when someone can form a strong opinion on something without giving it a chance (not directed at you, just people in general). You can reject giving something a chance, and logically you could only remain indifferent. There are some exceptions though.

Well, y'know. Under the circumstances, I've been shockingly nice... about the ponies. Surprise surprise, not anymore!

Why else would all my recent headlines on Steam have SOMETHING to do with hating ponies? Why do I feel so AMAZING after killing a brony in Team Fortress 2? I'll tell you why: I am strictly against the ponies, established shortly after I gave them a chance. They had their chance and they blew it. Quickly.

But I don't need to hate the ponies as much anymore, since I found something I have been looking for for a very, very long time. I still do hate them just fyi.

Look at us, arguing over a TV show. I should get back to more srs bzns things kthx.

30s is not enough to judge that show. Along with the rest of the cartoons from that era, they were the kind of cartoons that were completely different to children and older people.

Having watched the first 4 episodes of My Little Pony, I've found it quite enjoyable, though it lacks the slightly cynical elements present in other cartoons that really draws me to them.

[Copper Bezel]

Yeah, what it loses in pith from Foster's it only makes up in adorableness, which may not seem like a fair trade.

For me even less than that is enough. I know the style of cartoon I like and certain types (some even much older than them) used to annoy the daylights out of me. I mean no criticism of anyone who does watch such shows btw. Was mainly having a good laugh at and agreeing with KiwiNZ's reaction to the pony thread reviving :)


Along with the rest of the cartoons from that era, they were the kind of cartoons that were completely different to children and older people.... Yes I agree with that, I'm probably fairly much older than a lot of people here (at least by the sounds of things), yet certain styles of newer cartoons even appeal to me at times.

Just the ponies and the likes fall into the category of "Where's that <bleeeeep> remote gone !" And don't get me raving about those Pokemon thingies :p.

Each to there own I suppose ;). (Geez even Rastamouse has a bit of appeal to it)

True, but who did most of the work? Me. It was me who did everything else. I thought my hardest just to remember what to do as it was months since I last played, dying many times during this. And what did you do? Stand there like AN IDIOT most of the time! Yes, you did help me solve SOME of them and you figured out several before me, but who did all the other chambers? WHO DID 96% OF WHAT WE PLAYED? It was me. You did almost nothing. You brony.

WHO DID 96% OF WHAT WE PLAYED? It was me. You did almost nothing. You brony.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

What is this? A spin-off of Charlie the Unicorn?

Whatever. I miss Sailor Moon. Now there was some good, wholesome family entertainment.

I watched an episode. It wasn't poorly done just not my thing. *goes to drink nuts and bolts*

[polardude1983]

Ok watched the first episode not my kind of show. Back to eating my lucky charms with marshmallows.

crunch crunch crunch...

[Quadunit404]

Bibo, I realized two lessons taught to me by playing with you in Portal 2:

1. That I can ally myself with a brony (reluctantly) if the need so arises.
2. Where the memories of that single minute of MLP I watched reside in my brain.

/me forgets that minute

Goodbye, ponies. Heheheh. Killing your followers in TF2 was fun. Don't come back.

To people who don't get what makes it so great, for a lot of people, it's not so much the show itself, but what the internet makes from it.

[Quadunit404]

You know what my days were like before the ponies? I just did what I liked: played games and edited videos. Nobody shoved ponies into my face. Or attempted to convert me to a brony. Or encouraged me to do something that ultimately led to a negative reaction. I just played games.

Until the bronies showed up. Those dangerous, pony-loving lunatics. While I was recollecting myself I realized that the best solution to a problem is usually the easiest. And I'll admit it, Bibo; we said a lot of things to each other that the both of us will probably regret later. And all this time I thought you were one of my enemies as you were a brony. Turns out you're actually one of my allies I guess. So you know what? You win. You somehow managed to help me drop my vendetta against the ponies and make me have to rethink myself within a week. That has to be some sort of record. I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.

I'm not even angry. I'm being so sincere right now.

[Quadunit404]

Oh, and Bibo, if ANYONE asks why there's someone with a statement about hating ponies in his description on your Steam friends list - and NOBODY'S gonna ask, hopefully - just say the last time you checked, he has started to alleviate most of his hatred of the series.

[christoph411]

What? I am weird for liking Tom And Jerry? :(

Hmmmm, I guess now that I think about Tom And Jerry isn't really that strange (it's like a classic right? :) ) But I was just kinda creeped out by the image of an older gentleman sitting and watching "My Little Pony." Then again, I have no clue, and really don't want to know, the age or even gender of anybody here so I guess I can't jump to those kinds of conclusions. :D

Ahh man I like cartoons. "Simpsons, Southpark, Batman and Superman toon movies" stuff like that"...Really hate the new Transformers tho.. :( But grown men + ponies really confuses me.
I wouldnt have a problem with my daughter watching them. I am not homophobic, I just cant understand grown mem watching this unless their daughter is wanting them to spend time with her and watch together. My daughter does this with barney, blues clues, etc; so I just be silent and go to sleep. Like I said I really hope I haven't offended anyone as its not my intent at all.

Ooh Bibo, its not our intent at all. Bless your heart if you love ponies watch them all you wish. No one is judging you. Everyone is different and some of us including me are somewhat pre programmed by our environment. So different things sometimes dont make sense to us. Doesnt make them wrong, just lack of understanding.

[Thewhistlingwind]

I love how no one notices that Bibo is a master troll.;)

It was obvious to me after the "Replacing tux" thread when he suggested french fries to symbolize the "taste of freedom you'll be experiencing.".

The "Sugar interface potential Unity replacement" was brilliant though.

From Merriam-Webster:

Judge (verb)
1: to form an opinion about through careful weighing of evidence and testing of premises

Well, I'm judging you to be the type of person who likes My Little Ponies at the age of 20. If you're ashamed to be judged that way, you shouldn't have brought it up in the first place. ;)

Edit: By the way, I actually tried to watch one of your YouTube links. I couldn't stomach more than a minute and a half of it. If you like it, more power to ya.

Yeah, I guess the use of the word "cartoon" wasn't really accurate the way I used it. Because when I was thinking of cartoons I was thinking of "an animated show aimed towards children" but I guess anything that is animated is technically a cartoon. I completely forgot about all of the adult cartoons (some of which I actually like!) so I guess i'm being hypocritical.:redface:
And you pretty much just summed it up, because the men+ponies thing is what I didn't get this whole time. :KS

Hokay, now to post something relevant to Linux.

I need to customize grub, I see it all the time, and it looks hideous. I can't get it beyond the 640x480 res (same with splash screen, it happens after installing ati graphics drivers), but is it easy? Like on a scale on typing a few commands to writing a whole conky configuration where does the difficulty lie between?
It wasn't that difficult. I just had to add a line to /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme (with the path to the PNG file to be used) and then re-run update-grub2.

I commented out this line:
set_background_image "/usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-grub.png" ||
And in its place I put this line:
set_background_image "/usr/local/share/images/derpian.png" ||

So, Wait Wait did another spot. Two, actually; former president Clinton does an MLP:FiM quiz, and an apologist speaks out for bronies everywhere. Listen here ([URL="http://www.npr.org/player/v2/mediaPlayer.html?action=1&t=3&islist=true&id=35&d=06-25-2011). They're quite awesome. Highlight: "Don't blame that on the ponies."

[Quadunit404]

Bibo, if this makes you happy, I'm suppressing all the parts of my mind that cause the negative reaction induced by the ponies. I finally removed Rainbow Dash from my mind since all the other ponies are gone.

On a side note, since I got all my remaining work in my Junior year I actually don't need to go to school for the last time on Monday. Now to do do something about the headache I got from hearing 10 afterburners screaming over my head... Blue Angels <3

Well have you heard the sound of four F/A-18s taking off at the same time? Especially from the same runway? With full blast afterburners? Because that is LOUD. It's been over five hours since I saw the Blue Angels in action and I still have a slight headache!

Can't say I have, the loudest I've ever heard was Monster Trucks. I'm surprised you haven't gone deaf. Was it an air show?

What gave you that hint? Of COURSE it was. And yes, I'm surprised I haven't gone deaf either. Try hearing ten General Electric F404s with afterburners on and max thrust and THEN tell me if the loudest thing you heard is monster trucks.

And it's because I played Portal 2 with you.

[Zachzee]

It works. I like this version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QX4x9UZ4JIo) as well.
in all fairness i never said i liked this version or any version of this pony stuff. i don't hate it i prefer it over Dora, yet not something i am going to watch in my free time, probably only to babysit my siblings.. i was trying to be sarcastic which i can see is kind of hard to do in the form of type.

this is not my kind of show i mean no offense either way.

But I believe we can put our sole conflicting interest aside for the rest of the week, because I would like to see the ending of Portal 2's co-op not just on YouTube (as the one video of the ending I found has no sound beyond the player using Windows Explorer for at least two minutes) and to see if you really did get better at Portal 2. Besides, we have all damn week to do so, as it turned out Friday was my last day due to me handing in the last of my schoolwork on Thursday.

Exactly my point (the tense in my post was just ambiguous). Not everyone likes it and that's fine by me, as long as there's no misjudging of people who do like it (and I haven't seen you go in that direction, but to your credit I haven't paid much attention to this thread).

What I mean by this: so far it's just been jibes from NPR and some Fox News coverage/commentary, some fair and some denigrating. I'd hate to see the day when some societal ill like child predation is chalked up to watching a kids' show.

[Quadunit404]

Ya know, I'll give credit where credit is due - you did get me neutral again, Bibo. And even though I am warming up toward the bronies and in one case, defended a 13-year-old one from another 13-year-old brony who wouldn't shut up about BroNYcon (guess where that's being held) until I stepped in (besides, the brony I defended didn't want to spend $150 to go all the way to New York just to hang out with a bunch of 20 or 30-odd year old pony-loving freaks... he's only 13 FFS!) this does not mean I plan on joining the herd. I am still resistant to it, and a l w a y s w i l l b e.

Ok, I watched 11 episodes because of this thread. It's exactly what I would expect out of a show for little girls. While it seems to be fine for that audience, even above average, I'm having trouble seeing what adult men see in it. The pink horse is funny sometimes, but seriously, I'm a grown man, I need some depth to my comedy. Did I miss something here?

This brings up an interesting issue. I think part of it is the utter lack of decent children's cartoons. For me, since the days of Powerpuff Girls and Dexter's Lab, I can count the number of good cartoons running on one hand (well, two fingers). Something like MLP and Phineas and Ferb, really is a breath of fresh air.

Secondly, I'm not sure how old you are, but there is actually depth in MLP imo. There are a lot of nostalgic references (and some that I later learned about, cause I'm not old enough myself :P). In fact, in some ways, I'm reminded of scooby doo and bugs bunny, though I can't put my finger on it.

[ninjaaron]

I'm not very old, really, just 26. I was never into Scoobie. Bugs is alright. I'm a sucker for slapstick and physical humor. That's probably why I like the pink horse. I also don't dig on nostalgia for the sake of nostalgia. I'm always inclined towards seeking out the best in new art, rather than getting stuck on the past.

[CarpKing]

The show has some slapstick, but mostly I'd describe it as character-driven situational humor, where the plot is just a backdrop for interaction between unique characters. I think most fans' enjoyment comes from developing an attachment to the characters rather than seeing how the plots are resolved. It reminds me somewhat of the "slice of life" genre in anime (Azumanga Daioh, Lucky Star, etc), which is also known for being popular with older audiences despite being generally appropriate for younger ones.

[krapp]

I was raised on Transformers, Looney Tunes, and Scooby Doo reruns, and on classic Nickelodeon. I don't get the appeal of the anime nonsense (I found Akira to be rubbish), and much less of something like this. It looks like Carebears or worse.

Everyone has their opinion. However I am pretty darn sure Ponies is American so comparing it to Akira or labeling it anime due to perceived nationality is ridiculous. It is just an animated series same as any other.

What you are thinking of is perhaps stereotypical Japanese animation? Bright colours, sailor school uniforms and goofy situations? I am sorry but no. All forms of animation especially ones from Japan cover the whole range from bad or good, comedy, action, whatever.

It's not Anime, anime implies it was made in Japan. This was is a Canadian/American production.

I didn't say it was anime. I said I don't get the appeal of anime which is very popular 'round these parts, and I find the interest in pony cartoons even more perplexing. :confused:

You honestly have to watch it to understand why people like it, and I mean you have to watch the first season to really get the appeal.

Pink + Ponies = [-(

Then again, the only cartoon I've found worth my while in the past few years is The Penguins of Madagascar, so beggars can't be choosy. On the other hand, they'd be better off doing something productive, not watching cartoons! :D


Ok, I watched 11 episodes because of this thread. It's exactly what I would expect out of a show for little girls. While it seems to be fine for that audience, even above average, I'm having trouble seeing what adult men see in it. The pink horse is funny sometimes, but seriously, I'm a grown man, I need some depth to my comedy. Did I miss something here?

Alright, I watched the whole first season since I'm trying to procrastinate on papers right now (quite successfully, I might add). They got better towards the end, as I expected they might. It was the same with the first season of Community, and the second season produced some of the best TV of 2010/2011 (albeit Community's lowest points are probably better than anything on MLPFiM).

But I still don't get what's special... but I do want to know what happens next season with the Cutie-mark Crusaders. Damn.

[3rdalbum]

Meh.

If you want to see good children's TV that adults can watch too, check out H2O: Just Add Water.

For those who don't know, H2O is about three girls who become mermaids whenever they touch water; they also each have a superpower. One of their socially awkward male friends is a budding scientist and he tries to solve the mystery of why they've become this way. It's really a surprisingly good show with great storylines, decent special effects, and superb locations and scenery. Some of the premises in the show are pretty awesome too, drawing on mythology as well as modern environmental issues. The girls keep their abilities a secret but because they change into mermaids on the slightest touch of water, there's always a danger that someone will find out...

Surf The Channel had quite a few episodes the last time I checked, or you can try the torrents. Just be aware that Phoebe Tonkin can't act until later on in her career, so don't judge the show too harshly on that :-)

Brain dead movies can be quite good, even brilliant, despite themselves. It's self-serious crap like Avatar that immediately falls flat on its face. Your ponies could also be good despite itself, but my gut feeling is that, in the end, it's just about ponies and girls who like ponies.

No, it is about ponies. I won't deny that, it's how it's executed with the humor and animation is what gives it it's charm.

From Wiktionary: (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wiktionary/en/wiki/rage#English)

rage (plural rages)
- Violent uncontrolled anger.
- A current fashion or fad.

The one Bibo is using is the former definition. Normally, I wouldn't defend a brony, but under the grounds that Bibo is a friend of mine I shall. And if you think that you can beat the both of us, then I shall tell you that we're still holding the cards, and they're all full houses. Make your move wisely, moim przyjacielem.

I was under the impression that everything odious on the Internet originated somewhere within 4chan. Including this love for rainbow colored ponies. Including the stranger graphical and written methods of communication traversing message boards. Having never been there myself, I was hoping someone could confirm my suspicions.

Do you have some sort of vendetta against Bibo and his ponies? Because it seems that way to me.

I used to as well. If you look through earlier pages in this thread you could see the horrible things we've said to each other. But we're friends now. We still poke each other from time to time though.

As far as I know Bibo is the name of a pony on a TV show, and seeing as the only other time I ever heard about My Little Pony outside of UF was through TV commercials selling toys for girls (which must have been more than a decade ago), I don't think very much of bronies or ponies at all.

Again I'm not interested in watching the show. I'm interested in the fact that grown men walk through Toys R Us aisles supposedly looking for pony toys (as I just read) and then come home to talk about it on Youtube, 4chan, and perhaps UF.

If you're legitimately curious, it's an island of savvy non-cynicism. It's everything that isn't sex and violence, and it's cute without being stupid. In a lot of ways, it does seem to be an expression of internet culture, at least of the "silly cat videos" variety; it's a self-aware series with some cleverness to it and an ability to disarm stereotypes without resorting to sarcasm. It's also very clever about making pop culture references without feeling like marketing or ridicule.

It suggests nothing. Dragons are rather rare, and most of the ponies comment on never having seen one before. Aside from spike, they don't really have a status. Assistant isn't that bad a job anyway. It's not like he's a slave.

Applejack and her family run a farm. That's backbreaking work, and they don't seem to wealthy in doing so.

I know this from having seen two episodes and not liking the show enough to continue watching. The fact that Spike is a dragon as well as an assistant isn't some sort of racist metaphor, it's just Spike's job.

First off thank you for introducing me to this show. I LOVE IT! I'm telling everyone I'm a brony now :p I want a tshirt! I just wish I'd learned about it sooner when I could have picked up a mcd's happy meal.

That said, did anyone else have a bit of a problem with Feeling Pinkie Keen? Obviously we have magical unicorns and flying pegasi and dragons and whatnot, but there's never any explanation given for Pinkie Pie's special powers of prediction. I could accept this if it weren't for the fact that Twilight spends the whole episode trying to find a scientific explanation. In the end, she's the one in the wrong and the moral of the story is "just accept it and live with it, there's things we can't explain." It's not entirely bad but I didn't feel this was a good message to send kids.

I don't think that's the real message there, though; it was more about Twilight trusting that her friends might know something she didn't, and Twilight denying the evidence in front of her wasn't particularly scientific, anyway. = )

And then there's "Bridle Gossip," where she does accept the superstitious explanation and is still wrong. = P

But in all seriousness, look for them yourself. Normally... I'd fetch links for people... but it's 1:25AM over here in Massachusetts and I can't be bothered to fetch a link for someone. Now, if you don't mind, back to this, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDI9Cy9tghk#) because I'm not a brony and know that there are better things to waste my time with than bowing down to a cartoon pony :lolflag:

I just wish I'd learned about it sooner when I could have picked up a mcd's happy meal.
There's a neat series of PVCs that have been released blind-bagged outside of North America, and they're more in the style of the cartoon than the regular toyline, but they're irritatingly poorly represented in the US. There's a pack of four that leaves out Applejack and Fluttershy (!) that's been released here but is hard to find, and there's a gift set of the six plus some random recolors that hasn't been released yet. No Celestia, Luna, or any of the minor characters.

There's some good Pony news and chatter at the Allspark (http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showforum=67) Pony forum. A little saner than most of the Pony fora available.

Try as I might, I just cannot lip-read the words in those two images.

"Did you see Applejack's sweet moves out there? What an Athlete!".

Gifninja cut off the last bit, but she then makes the "Why Wub Woo" face when she says "Sooooo Awesome!".

Nah, it's not my tattoo...but it would be interesting to get one like that. I would obviously have the cloud colored with the white though if I were to get it.

I'm not against tattoos or anything. I've got a couple myself, in fact. However, I think it makes the most sense to get tattoos of something you think you might still be excited about 50 years from now.
