:-D

Josh wrote: ":-D

Well, Ralph is real, yes. Of course!"

Puh... I almost regretted the three votes I put in today for Irregulars (although it really was a tough choice - the Christmas codas did it, in the end, I think. Just FYI, so you can plan the bribing ahead for next year ;D)

Yeah, next time we really do need to plot a little before the eleventh hour. Sheesh. So much for our evil mastermind credentials.

The mastermind is revealed not only in the planning but also in the spontaneous reaction to unforeseen events. I'd say you've done good, mate! ;D

:-D"

What is that supposed to mean?? Of course, he's real. Ralph, don't listen to the man, he's crazy."

I'm not sure how ethical I feel about shipping Ralph's siblings out-- oh but wait we can pack them in raisins and chocolate chips and when the crates are opened not only will the "Irregular" Ponies be well fed and cushioned but their new owners may have a nice supply of coffee beans that the ponies have produced!

Hey, we're plenty evil. Now to work on the "mastermind" part.

As a biologist I can assure you that this will be no problem as your solution is not only absolutely valid, but has also already proved very effective over the MANY years of shipping imaginary pets and their siblings out to the world. I'm sure many children and adults whose adult exterior only shields the child within can confirm this.

Exactly! I'm loving this imaginary industry.

The Holiday Irregulars cover is seriously cool! I love the way the guy's hat has turned into a santa hat! :-)

This is even better than raisin-eating ponies... and definitely better than ponies who only eat chocolate chip cookies. ;-)

Is it too late to get a pony? I would like my own. He can be Ralph's boyfriend.

Well, you'd have to ask Ralph about the latter, but I think we can't have enough ponies strolling around here :)

:-) yay! Ralph and Andy (the new pony in town) are already crushing on one another, so I don't think they'll mind being called boyfriends.

LOL, well, I'm not sure, Ralph is awfully superficial, only caring about fur and horns really (uh, that sounds kinda wrong, let's go with fur and antlers...). You'd have to describe Andy first!! ;D

Oh, Ralph would sure like that!! :D I think the future might just look rosy for those two!

Excellent job on Round 1 by the way! Those pencil sharpeners are spinning in readiness for holiday fun.

Now we have to find out who our adversaries are in the next round and prepare subsequent evilness!

How come I always miss out on having a pony of my own. This has been the story of my life... cries.

It's not too late yet! I don't think the ponies have been shipped out yet :)

Dry those tears!

There are countless imaginary ponies looking for homes! Why, I have Captain Saddle-Bags, Mr. Grover and King Charlie-Horse all galloping around in my bathroom at this very moment... Actually I have no idea where they came from, but considering the look my cat is giving them I think they may need homes soon!

Not at all!
With this imaginary pony service the deliveries are directly downloaded from your whimsy. It's all really advanced and technical but believe it or not, the moment you come up with an imaginary pony--BAM!-- there it is.
Thus Captain Saddle-Bags and Company... Oh no! I think I just came up with another... I really do have to stop thinking about ponies!

I thought so!! Don't forget the chocolate cookie boxes they need, though! I thought about buying one today to give Ralph better transport conditions. No other reasons, obviously.

Didn't you hear, imaginary ponies are totally in-fashion right now! Huge money market. ... (actually considering what some people sell on ebay that might even work. I've seen an auction once for wlan (= Wi-Fi) wires. The content was specified as 78% Nitrogen and 21% Oxygen. I kid you not.)

Maybe you could draw yours? It wouldn't stop bragging, I bet, because it would be just that much more real than all the other imaginary ponies. ;)
Or wait... Do you even have one? If not get one right now. Laurie needs company. The dustbunnies start making him nervous...^^

Funny that you wrote that about drawing because exactly right now I'm in the middlle of drawing a little note to go with the Every Time I Think of You that I'll soon mail to Katharine. Why didn't I think of drawing a pony?! (It has a tree branch on it.)

Oh, how awesome!! (Just to damper any expectations about MY note when I send it to you, Calathea, later: I have not a single artistic bone in my body as many people have accurately pointed out. ... I'll just copy Johanna's pony ;D).

Yay, ponies! :)

@Katharina: Not to worry, I can't draw to save my life, but luckily I'm later in the queue so you won't get to see my it. ;)

Okey-dokey. You both ladies have your own ponies with a bunch of chocolate chip cookies now (on the bookmark). Enjoy!

My sincere apologies to Mr. and 3 x Mrs. Irregulars for all the pony talk on this topic. As a punishment I shall eat a packet of raisins.

I'm actually grateful for the choice of ponies, as I was going to suggest something more along the lines of pretty, magical eels... which I've been informed would not get many votes... though there is alway round two!!!

Eels anyone!?

Those eels have some cool magical powers, right? And they are friendly and pretty and colorful? If so, I'd be interested to have half a dozen, please.

They are all that of course, just hiding it underneath a seemingly drab exterior, because they are misunderstood and sceptical. But if you get to know them, no one sweeter and cuddlier ( can you say that.?) and with awesome, magical powers. But it is hard to get to know them, you have to earn their trust first.

Cuddlier was actually the word that had me convinced. Who wouldn't love to have cuddling, sucking eels?

No one, is my guess ...

Ui, that sounds nice :D And yummy. I like fish - I like how they taste :P
No, just kidding, of course, I'd never eat a big-eyed uni-eel. Why do I think one of them is called Earnest? Seriously, I have the weirdest name-associations sometimes...
I'd also be down for an axolotl. They don't undergo metamorphosis, so as an adult they have both, gills and legs - how great is that! Axel, the axolotl, would be a friend for life, I'm sure!! :D

Ernest the eel, Alex the axolotl and Sam the salamander are all looking for good homes in which they can display their winning smiles, brilliant colors, magical powers--such as instant coco generation, and burping up shiny change--as well as enjoy many hours reading copies of the Irregulars.

Won't you help them find their forever homes?

Hey! Noon Central, Round 2 -- Be there or Be ready to put up with a lot of crying and wailing and gnashing teeth.

Voted! It's in the lead but it's quite close. And i managed to get some people very excited about this too and now it's just funny to watch them at it :-)
