Oh, har de har har.
Did I say in a recent thread "I want a pony"?
I believe I did.
Well, let it never be said that you all are never accomodating to my every whim.
I just received this by purolator this morning. It's, ummm... a little creepy. And it talks. 
Should I get the bomb squad to check it out? I'm scared it's going to blow anthrax in my face or something.

That is absolutely hilarious.
Is it not heart-warming?
I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when the "estrogen trio" got a load of that.
There has to be some serious mileage in that little pink devil. |

Says you! I was expecting a new screenshot, or an early combat demo.
And we get this.
Let no one say that Evil does not exist in Dragon Age.
Harumph!

I think you're too heavy for a pony. |

Without a doubt, the most terrifying thing I have ever seen.
Nightmares I tell ya.... nightmares. |

They were openly horrified. Sheryl thought it looked like some sort of anthropomorphic mutant baby.
Jennifer is taking it home to amuse her own child. Apparently it's just creepy enough for that.

So, was the package signed in any way? Will the forum poster who sent it raise their hand?

Wait, isn't a baby a newborn human? Anthropomorphic baby is redundant.
Of course, my little ponies are anthropomorphized young horses, unicorns, pegasi, etc.
Anyway, since you are now in the possession of a (my little) pony, why don't you give us some information concerning the game in return?

That's so unfair!
I wanted a pony too and I said so!

I may have gotten my pony, but I think the thought for the day is "sometimes you can get what you want but still not be very happy."
The irony slays me.

well congrats on getting your diaper bedecked, lemur-eyed, pink fish pony... though we thinks you should keep it on your desk (if you can make room for it 'mongst the empty cheetos wrappers.) Quoth the pony, "Nevermore?"
HA! Good Fun!

Bah. There are no cheetos wrappers on my desk, thank you very much.
My current desk inventory (other than my phone and computer) consists of: 1 box of Splenda packets, 1 box of Kleenex, 7 cans of Diet 7-Up (I'm working crunch, what can I say?), 1 stone gargoyle (useful for keeping evil away from my desk -- considering James moved to Austin I consider it to not only be working but desrving of an affectionate pat on the head) and a lot of paper.
There. No damn cheetos.

You're in crunch time? Already? Or is this some sort of 'middle of the project' crunch?
Quote: There. No damn cheetos.
Are there non damned ones?
Cute pony, BTW.

I do agree though, that it being a gift, shouldn't it stay on your desk?
Even if it was a gag gift. Someone thought of you and your sense of humor and spent time and money to send that to you. Probably thinking you'd appreciate the joke.
Seems sort of callous to just give it away.
