    Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
    @Naney: If that was directed at both of us, that's why I said "if." I've only heard one or two people say it, and I don't know if they still hold that opinion. Funny thing is, I do live in a state that's considered part of the Deep South, but the city I live in is a lot less stereotypical. This is quite fortunate, as you may imagine.
  • I think a spider cutie mark would suit me. 8ecause I like spiders, I make pretty things with string, old things get covered in co8we8s........ yessssssss.

    Also Pony!me shall 8e my current favor8 colors which are copper-8rown and cerulean 8lue. 
  • I'm fairly certain that if all involved nations spent the time to apologize for everything they did during WWII we'd still be apologizing to this day.

    Also, I know the feel of being surrounded by casual racism.

    ^^^ From what I gather, ignorance and prejudice tends to be less common in urban areas than rural ones.

    Which I kind of hate since it means everyone thinks we're daft, funny yokels at best and completely backwards and bigoted at worst, but yeah.

    ^ Admittedly, yes, there was a lot to apologise for, atrocities all over, and not just on the Axis side.

    ^^Oh, I forgot you lived in a more rural area. Where is it, exactly?

    And I haven't been out in the country much, but I haven't seen many of the stereotypical "country bumpkins", so I'm not as judgmental about that, as far as I know.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    I'm from a village in Gloucestershire.

    I thought I'd mostly gotten away from that kind of thing here, since I'm at uni, but I guess not.
  • It's difficult not to be judgmental about rural stereotypes when you're surrounded by them.

    I'll not relay what the handful of Asian and black families in town have to go through. Too depressing.

    Ah. Sorry to hear that.

    Reading that makes me happy that my university is as open-minded as it is. You might not expect that from a relatively rich, expensive private school, but it's actually a very welcoming place once you get in and get to know the rest of the community.
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    Oh, don't get me wrong, mostly my experiences here have been pretty positive and welcoming (although, I am white, so yeah).  Although I did run into a really overt antisemite when I first got here, which was kind of a terrible start.

    It's a sort of odd mix here, though.  It's a pretty liberal university in a pretty traditional part of Wales.
  • Hey look, Pony CA!

    I remember when I was a pony. I looked like a cross between myself and a zebra.

    ^^Admittedly, the closest thing to a minority that I am is autistic (and before anyone asks, yes, it is officially diagnosed), but being at my school has actually helped me become a bit more open-minded about things. I hope it continues to do so.

    Why not a squid cutie mark?

    Oh, ninjaspider strikes.

    Imagining ourselves as ponies, huh? Well, why not?

    From what little I know about the pony universe, I'd imagine myself as either Totodile blue or Ekans purple. I'd want to be a unicorn because the basic psychic powers are appealing, but earth pony would work just as well. No clue what my cutie mark would be. Maybe a dragon scale since I like learning random facts about herpetology and daydreaming fantasy stories about scaled creatures.

    Let me tell you. About Fallen London.
    Haventron thinks squiddleTron could have a robotics cutie mark! Or maybe just a cutie mark of, uh, "Tron".

    I can't really imagine what I would be like as a pony. A cutie mark would be pretty convenient to make puns with in an emergency, though.

  • I always thought that it would be good to be one of Celestia's soldiers. Not because I like her (in fact, she kind of bothers me), but because the armor would look cool and I'd be able to help people.

    You lot can probably guess what my cutie mark would be.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    spiders

    Somehow, this conversation inspired me to try out the pony generator. I've spent half an hour making a bespectacled Arbok-colored pony. This is an oddly fun time-waster.
  • Did some8ody say spiders?

    And I do not have the same stay-up-late desire I did last night, apparently. Good night, everyone.

    ^^No. You're hallucinating it.

    You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    POP QUIZ!

    FIGHT

    The answer is to never judge a bug by his shell.

    For some reason I'm trying to vaguely trace ponies so I can break them down to their basic shapes so I can get a better understanding of how to draw them.

    It's like I've already forgotten that I wanted this tablet to design stuff, instead of just for PONY
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    childhood
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    That was the end.

    It was the beginning for me.

    The motherheap has slowed down a good bit. I don't know if it's dying, but it ain't what it used to be.

    On the other hand, long live the Heapers' Hangout!

  • HEAPIN'

    what'll happen if we start to get people from other sites and the title of this thread becomes esoteric and confusing?

  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I don't know...maybe there should be a "Heap Backstory" somewhere we can direct them to.

    Anyway, for me it really helps to have a forum where I can just talk about whatever, so I hope this one stays at least somewhat active.
