I think it is awkward as gently caress when people use their screen names. Like if I made a youtube video and went "Hey, whats up guys Bro Nerd Alpha here to bring you..."

Ozzy Osbourne simply duplicated the event.

I remember watching this 2 girls 1 cup reaction video by that girl with moebius syndrome and the shocking part to me was the fact that she DOWNLOADED 2 girls 1 cup not once, but twice instead of just streaming it from whatever site it was hosted on. Also it's amazing how well she's able to speak without moving her lips at all. No idea how she manages to make 'B' sounds.

Whoa yea, it left the Broon show and started to leave. You get the impression these fursuit people think they are going to get a ton of attention. It had a bubble around it where even faire-folk wouldn't go.

The best part was my little sister, who has never been to an event were people cosplay, instantly knew how weird Wolfie was and snapped shots for Facebook AUG. :angel:

From reading the comments, the ones who hate others by their differences and interests are the real immature ones here. They consider themselves to be more ''mature'' than the Bronies, yet they demonstrated actions that tells us otherwise. If they are as mature as they claim to be, then they should know better and not have expressed these hateful remarks towards other individuals who have done nothing against them.

I remember when geeks, comics-fans, otakus, and the gamer fandom faced criticism from those who spouted the same kinds of insults as the ones in this comment section. Whether it is geeks or gamers, they've called us nerds who have no lives and fat neckbeards who sit in their basements all day because THEY considered cartoons, comics, and video games to be for children.

In my eyes, you are never too old for cartoons. You are never too old for comics and games either. Adults are kids grown up anyway, and by expresssing hatred to others due to their differences, whether it's outside (appearances like race) or inside (different beliefs and ideology) is what history has shown us to be the true evil here. Hatred towards others by their preferences is exactly what's wrong with this world.

Using age as a boundary to not allow adults to watch cartoons? Who are you to decide what they shouldn't watch? Using gender to not allow males to watch this show? Great way to be a sexist.

Bronies come in all walks of life. Teachers who teaches and guides others in life, doctors who heal and save others, military servicemen who lay down their lives, they all contribute to the dream of a brighter future. The way I see it, the people who hate on them are all bark, no bite and seems to be the ones who are more likely to be sitting down behind their computer screens.

People here are treating them as a cancer to the society, but I know Bronies who try to change this world into a better place. A world where we would learn to embrace diversity and accept other people despite their differences. It doesn't matter what they look like or what they like. I do not judge people by their appearances, but by the contents of their hearts.With this belief, I know that the Bronies are ten times the man they are than the rest of these ignorant, hate-mongering, low lives.

Actually, how the gently caress do you even speak with those big-rear end holes in your cheek? Controlling where and when the air comes out of your face is kind of an essential part of making coherent voice sounds, right?

It's so weird to watch her videos because her mouth hardly moves but she's talking steadily so it's like bad lip synching or an audible inner monologue.

Some of you guys probably know about the legendary rugby team, the All Blacks, and their intimidating war dance before the matches, a Maori Haka. It's a sight to behold, huge Maori dudes being menacing and stuff.

For the uninitiated, this is the All Blacks haka:

The funny thing is, apparently doing the Haka was a tradition before rugby in NZ was even played by the then sort of segregated maoris. This is what it was like:

Does a game platform count? I just realized that Origin never asked me where I wanted to install games for it, and I just realize it's been dumping them on the wrong hard drive. And unless I'm missing a "delete local content" option, it's going to be a case of manually (and slowly!) uninstalling everything and reinstalling it.

True that. Double awkward for me, in that this is the second time today that I posted something and didn't make sure that I had done it right. :(

For actual content, yesterday I saw an AUG family at my local theater. The highly overweight mom and dad (looking around 40ish) had long, stringy, unwashed-looking hair going down to their lower-backs. Their mid-20s looking kid looked carparitively normal, until deciding that he had to dance, in his chair, to the pre-movie music they pipe in... even when the server was trying to take his order.

I haven't browsed BMEZine in years, probably 10... the last thing I remember reading about it was the founder (who lived in Toronto I believe) dying from something or other, pretty young too.

So there you have it, just when you think slicing big chunks out of your cheeks to install hollowed plugs is dangerous/stupid, someone has actually had a Trepanation done for 'fun'

Edit: Yep, he did live in Toronto, I remember my gf at the time attended a few of the suspension shows.

No. They had cut and pierced themselves and others and had experience with implants and things along those lines.

Gee, wonder why a medical doctor wouldn't do it.
