    What would happen if you let one possess you

    THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    I'd turn into Sharon Stone's character from Casino, most likely. "I AM FUCKING NICKY SANTORO!!!!!!!!!!!"

    And if not her, then Mommie Dearest.

    We should go find people off the street and let them serve as the vessels for the cable channels escaping from our televisions.

    Poor The Hub. Its vessel will have to deal with all those hordes of bronies. No, wait, that's Lauren Faust. Silly me thinking in brands. :P
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    It makes me wonder what Nickelodeon's spirit would be like. I'd probably be as nutty as SpongeBob, and I'd totally ship Carly and that blonde girl whose name I can't remember at the moment. Oh, and I won't be able to remember anything form before 1999. :P

    ...ooh! ABC Cable Networks/ESPN's roster could come alive!

    ...god. I don't know what ABC Family would be like. ESPN would be an obnoxious loud macho guy, probably, and A&E would be this depressive individual who never says anything positive (or at the very least, a pessimist/cynical optimist or something) and The History Channel would want to be a lumberjack or something.

  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Sing, sing, sing! Or just enjoy the silence.

    Musical notes.

    I'm thinking about ABC Inc again.

    Hallmark Channel is back in the proverbial crosshairs.
  • but what about the ponyverbial crosshorsehairs
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    Alright set on The Hub, already acquired.

    I still don't know what to do with it.

    My sister has a Pinkie Pie cookie jar or something

  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    I want Pinkie Pie stuff.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I want Applejack stuff.

    Not really. There is nothing I could want.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    ...do you like any aspects of her character, beyond the "20 stalks? Bean or celery?" line?
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I like her voice. And her determination to collect all those apples.

    ...that's all I got.

    ...I'm gonna go watch ponies now. I've been putting them off long enough.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    ^^^She's one of the least popular ponies. They don't see much in her.

    Also, the "Little Birdie" song is awesome.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I am far enough from the fanbase to care even less about what they think than I normally would.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    ...why did I even say that?

    ...So pony bowling alleys do exist, apparently.

    I think I had mentioned once before that a certain line from "Art of the Dress" made me picture Rarity working on a Friday night while her friends relax at the bowling alley, but we dismissed the idea of ponies bowling as nonsensical. Also I can't find when/where this conversation actually happened, which is going to drive me insane.

    (You posted right as I clicked on the thread)

    I'm watching Happiness is a Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown. this pacing is weird.

    Let me tell you. About Fallen London.

    but we dismissed the idea of ponies bowling as nonsensical

    The idea of ponies doing pretty much anything they do in the show is nonsensical, and yet.

    I mean, instead of paleolithic they used the phrase "paleoPONY". Even my random substitutions could never reach that level.

  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Well, "lithic" means "stone," as I learned from Indiana Jones, so...stone pony?

    ...The musical number from "May the Best Pet Win" is rather long.

    Yes it is.

    ...For some reason I imagine that the project to fix the signage at Santa's North Pole campus includes a sign in the train station reading "SOUTHBOUND TRAINS".

    In the essay detailing his decisions, the designer comments that such a sign is silly and unnecessary but the client wanted him to include it anyway.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    What do your ideal Santa's campus signs look like?

    I imagine them as dark red with white lettering, to maintain a "Christmassy" color scheme without being obnoxiously bright or hard to read.

    I can't think of what typeface should be used, though.

    I imagine FHWA series.

    ...goddammit, I associate Interstate with Doctor Who and, apparently, product packaging now.

    FHWA series? Interesting.

    ...Dammit, I'm actually going to want to "design" some of these now.

    Also, what's the association of Interstate with Who?
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    Opening credits. Eccleston's/Tennant's and Piper's names are set in Interstate. The rest of the show uses Futura.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.

    Ah, right. I knew that at some point but I'd forgotten because episodes starting with Matt Smith's run have an entirely different opening credits sequence.

    ...I wonder how the FHWA type family compares to other signage typefaces when it comes to legibility. The current version of the standard dates to 2000, the major change at the time being the addition of "official" lowercase alphabets for series B through F. (Previously only Series E Modified had a lowercase alphabet.)
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    And the logo when Smith takes over is nicer, too. ;_;

    ...Why is that ;_; ?
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    Because the one they use during Eccleston and Tennant's runs is ugly!

    Well yeah, but then shouldn't the fact they improved it be a :D ?
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    Probably. But they didn't improve it earlier.
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    The musical notes show up here (Chromium 14 on Debian testing i386), but then, I have all the fonts installed. All of them. Or most of them, anyway.

    Thanksgiving dinner was pretty good. My brother made his famous (to us, anyway) risotto, and we also had the usual Thanksgiving stuff (turkey, gravy, stuffing, cranberry-orange relish, mash topatoes [yay random TTA refs], etc). No pie, though, everyone was too full for that. 

    Also, my granny is here this year, for what I'm pretty sure is the first time since both the incident with my brother in 2009 and us moving into this house in 2010. I'm really hoping this means things are starting to return to normal around here, though I doubt the relationship between my mom and my aunt (the latter bullies the former like actual Vriska does, well, pretty much everyone) will ever improve.

    That must not be fun for your mom. :(

    I decided to give it a try. It ended up taking after road signs a bit more than I had originally planned, somehow.

    It's those arrows and that FHWA series.

    Well I was trying to decide what kind of arrows to use, then you mentioned FHWA Series and I was like "hell, might as well go all the way and use the MUTCD arrows"
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    ...why am I obsessed with cable channels again?]

    Oh wait, this copy of Martha Stewart Living that I should finish reading.
