I have a rotation of 4 cups that I use on a regular basis.

1. is tall, thin white plastic with blue print and horse pictures advertising the Chincoteague horse swim.

2. is thick pink plastic with a my little pony design.

3. is clear plastic mug style molded to look like a skull.

4. is a ceramic mug with a red and blue flower design.

What is the Chincoteague horse swim :o ?

Gallagher 06-17-2016 02:07 PM

There's an island that has a herd of wild ponies living on it, and every year, they get guided across the water so some of them can be auctioned off. A lot of people gather to watch the horses swim, even if they don't plan on attending the auction.

Potironette 06-17-2016 02:10 PM

Have you been the the Chincoteague horse swim? Why do you have a cup advertising the Chincoteague horse swim?

Gallagher 06-17-2016 02:12 PM

I have been actually, yeah. It happens every July.

It's pretty neat. It helps to keep the population in check, because the island is not very large and not very fertile, and the auctions earn money for the community. It's run by the Virginia Fire Company, if I remember correctly.

How deep is the water? That is, how can ponies be led in the water and is it possible for them to drown :/?

Total cheats D:

I'm retyping this post because it got eaten in last night's routine maintenance.

Back in...fourth grade, or something, my elementary school had one of its annual walk-arounds (walk-athon, whatever). There were prizes (really shitty prizes) for reaching lap milestones, and the reward for two laps or something was a cup of orange juice.

So the volunteers for the event (my mom included) did the usual and went around local fast food chains and other restaurants to get donations. McDonald's was our go-to for juice and beverages, so they gave us two huge barrels of "orange juice".

I was way slower than most kids at the time (still am, but, eh), and by the time I'd hit the milestone for the orange juice, it was...pretty warm. And hence the drinks were also pretty warm. But I was too tired/thirsty to really care, and so I got a tiny paper cup of the stuff, drank some, and....ew.

It was really, really nasty.

The stuff was this clear, orange...liquid. Kind of like liquid orange jello, before you stick it in the fridge. I ran over to my dad and demanded he try it, and basically take what was left.

I don't think much of the stuff got drank that day. Most of the stuff that did, was probably by parents, whose kids also complained to them and gave them their still-very-full cups.

Yeah, the stuff was pretty damn terrible.

Years later, I mentioned this to my mom, and we figured that Mickey D's had given us barrels of orange soda powder, mixed with water. It wasn't even carbonated (that would have just been orange soda, I guess). It was worse than warm, flat orange soda.

Potir - All the horses are given a health check beforehand. The ones that are too young or too sick to make the swim themselves are ferried across, and there are lots of helpers there in case they need to help the horses.

They just swim right across. They're pretty good at swimming.

Pessi - Cheats, but technically correct.

Espy - that sounds super shitty. i'd rather have watered down carnival soda.

Potironette 06-17-2016 02:58 PM

"This is the 100th question! For realzies this time!" - I keep putting this here it feels old, but for the sheer novelty of reaching 100 I need to put this here T_T

What's carnival soda?

Gallagher 06-17-2016 02:59 PM

Haha, well, we're getting there awfully fast thanks to you!

Carnival soda is just the soda you get at a carnival that's overpriced and tastes cheap.

Potironette 06-17-2016 03:10 PM

"This is the 100th question! For realzies this time!" - Gyahaha, that's good, just a lot more and then I won't feel compelled to put it here xD

Glasses or contact lenses, or is your vision good enough to not need either?

Pessimisticat 06-17-2016 03:11 PM

"This is the 100th question! For realzies this time!"
I should've asked my question about the avatar body-parts layering here, dang. xD

Do you like big butts and you cannot lie?

Gallagher 06-17-2016 03:13 PM

Potir - I have glasses, but I don't wear them much. I'm near sighted and wearing them hurts my head when I'm not actually trying to see distances.

Pessi - hah, probably, but it is what it is.

I'm a fan of thunder thighs.

Potironette 06-17-2016 03:27 PM

"This is the 100th question! For realzies this time!"
Wearing them hurts your head as in the glasses pinch your head or your head hurts from looking through the glasses?

Gallagher 06-17-2016 03:34 PM

Mostly the second. I'm sensitive to pressure on the sides of my head. Even super comfortable headphones I can't wear too much without getting a headache.

Potironette 06-17-2016 03:38 PM

"This is the 100th question! For realzies this time!"
Hmm, in that case do you like earbuds or super comfortable headphones?

Fulkth 06-17-2016 03:43 PM

"This is the 100th question! For realzies this time!"

Are there circus peanuts at carnivals or are circus peanuts only for circuses?

p.s. Why are circus peanuts called circus peanuts?

Gallagher 06-17-2016 04:15 PM

Potir - i've never had any that actually stayed in my ears, haha. i stick with headphones.

Fulkth - circus peanuts are only at circuses. peanuts at carnivals are carnival peanuts.

circus peanuts are called circus peanuts because you buy them at the circus.

Tohopekaliga 06-17-2016 04:20 PM

Is there such a thing as "super comfortable headphones"?

I've never encountered such a thing. :O

Gallagher 06-17-2016 04:21 PM

Mine are super comfortable. I'm just a sensitive bitch.

Tohopekaliga 06-17-2016 04:27 PM

Maybe I just have absurdly big ears or something.

Witchchylde 06-17-2016 04:27 PM

"This is the 100th question! For realzies this time!"

Why don't they call The Gravitron, The Spin Doctor?

Gallagher 06-17-2016 04:34 PM

Toho - Do fish have ears?

Witchchylde - Probably because The Gravitron is a way cooler name.

Tohopekaliga 06-17-2016 04:35 PM

Fish? Not really. Fish people? Well, it varies. But usually.

And it's true. Gravitron is a super cool name.

Gallagher 06-17-2016 04:36 PM

Yeah, it's rad as shit.

Tam I am 06-17-2016 05:34 PM

This is the 100th question! For realzies this time!

Why do my front teeth have to hurt so muuuuch?

Gallagher 06-17-2016 05:36 PM

They're acting out because they don't like being the center of attention when you smile.

Den 06-17-2016 05:38 PM

This is the 100th question! For realzies this time!

Is this just an excuse to have a party? :D

Tam I am 06-17-2016 05:41 PM

This is the hundredth question, for realzies this time!

Don't they know I don't smile because it hurts?

Gallagher 06-17-2016 05:42 PM

Den - pretty much yeah

Tam - have you tried telling them that? like to their face?

Den 06-17-2016 05:44 PM

This is the hundredth question, for realzies this time!

I kind of figured, but any excuse to dress up, right? lol

Gallagher 06-17-2016 05:46 PM

psh. like i need an excuse to dress up.

Potironette 06-17-2016 05:49 PM

Why are weeds bad?

Gallagher 06-17-2016 05:50 PM

they're not they're misunderstood

noisechannelrocker 06-17-2016 05:51 PM

What is your costume of choice in this event's theme?

I think the Jester items look really neat myself, but I really like all of the items!

Illusion 06-17-2016 06:04 PM

I'm just waiting for that 100 post so I can mess it up and no one gets the 1 mill for another 100 posts.

Den 06-17-2016 06:07 PM

This is the hundredth question, for realzies this time!

Think I can foil Illusion's plans? :D
