We like to shake things up with some massive silliness now and then! What better way to start the Arena's 10th Anniversary Year?

No kidding!  I got a pm from BoozyBustyKitty and I was like "Who is this strange person and why is she contacting me?"  Thankfully she signed it with her real name, so my confusion was short-lived. 

What I'm loving aren't the various names so much as the cool colors.  Fun!

I dunno about y'all ... but this is me in my natural form!

Yep, the re-naming of mods is a mystical process involving rainbow farts, cookies, wine and tossing bushwoolies.
Whereby the tossed bushwoolie shouts random (g-rated) obscenities as it flies though the air then pummels to the ground, then mods choose a name reflecting those obscenities; solely for the purpose to awe and confuse the eager pony arena masses...
Lastly, the cookies are consumed wine is passed around and they all have farts in the end.
Thus ends the 1st reading chapter 12 of the book of the arena mods.

(I love that dancing otter Evie.)

Now if we could get Sir Attenborough to narrate ...

Only a little?

Oh, and I want Stephen Fry as the narrator, please.

I own a pair of non-MLP forums.  For April Fool's Day 2012 I renamed my moderator/admin staff on one forum (five of us total, and a test account which brings it to a perfect six) to the Mane 6.  They weren't expecting it, so it blindsided all of them.  Which is sort of the point of April Fool's Day...

It was perfect, because each of the staff is pretty much one of the ponies to a tee, and I got to play two parts (Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie, both of whom are a good fit for me).  My co-admin ("Twilight Sparkle") was the only one who was not amused.  Then again, two of the mods are also members here so their enthusiasm was a given from the start.

Personally I'm all for having fun on a forum, and honestly seeing the change has actually coaxed me out of my shell and you're seeing much more of my humor as a result.  I'm actually really shy until I get to know people, which is why I haven't exactly been the world's most active poster in the months I've been here.  So thank you!  Also, my vote is for Sean Connery to narrate.



Two weeks from now you'll all probably be trying to stuff me back into my shell...

That is all.
