Ahhh, such a good film!

"Tina.... eat the food.... EAT THE FOOD!"

lol... when I saw the movie at first, I thought it was pretty dumb.  after I had time to think about it, I started remembering it as funny.  it had to marinate with me for a bit

[Aurora]

Mmmmm, basil candy. Almost as good as poison ivy bacon cats! (Admit it, y'all missed the poison ivy bacon cats!)

[kittykat7]

@ Buddafly... I thought the same thing when I first watched Napolean Dynamite.  I was like, "really!?! This is dumb."  Then I caught myself quoting the movie, so I watched it again.  I finally saw the humor in it!  Now it really is one of my favorite movies.

Actually that's exactly the same for me... I watched it with my housemates and they all said I was made for calling it pointless and un-funny... but now I think back on it, it was actually very witty.

Do you like pony playsets?  The only playset I'm still looking for is the purple G1 castle, otherwise I already have the one's I want

1) If you have previously stated that you're ok with fixable problems (minor symbol damage, haircuts, whatever), do you want that left alone so you can fix it or leave it as you see fit, or would you like repairs made before you receive a pony? I'm thinking specifically of rehairing, but I'm leaving it open in case anyone else had this question.

It's totally up to my partner if they want to fix any problems, I don't mind either way.  But if my partner wants to rehair a pony that woud be awesome!  It doesn't matter if the pony is on my want list or not!  I love rehairs 


2) Does anyone have a favourite pony (from your wantlist, or one you'd be getting a double of) you'd like to be surprised with if your partner gave him/her an alternate rehair, as an extra? They can be super fun and beautiful, but I'd hate to make someone cry if they hated the idea!

I would love this!  One of these days I'm going to order some hair and try to rehair a pony or two myself.

* For those of you who like accessories, do you mind getting duplicates? I know some people don't mind that.
What kind of accessories do you like? Brushes/combs, pony wear, etc?

I have a few accessories I am looking for on my wish list.  I'm not a huge accessorie collector, but if my partner wants to send some, that would be fine.  Otherwise, I'm a big fan of pony merchandise!

* Do you like pokemon?  -  Not really a fan.  Pikachew is cute though.

* If I happened to come across a pony from your want list, but it doesn't meet your condition requirements, would you want it as an extra, as a place holder?  That would be fine

[Sternenstaub]

Yeah!! Seaponey is in!!! 

[DancingPhoenix]

Mmmmm, basil candy. Almost as good as poison ivy bacon cats! (Admit it, y'all missed the poison ivy bacon cats!)

They put basil in the weirdest things! I remember in the dorms at school once I found someone using soap that had basil in it, I was so confused.

Also yay, thank you Sternenstaub! I'm so excited, and I can't wait to find out who my partner might be!

[tulagirl]

Acutally having herbs in soap is not unusually really.  Basil soap is made a lot.   I have seen many herbal soaps in the oraganic soap or handmade soap stores.  Me too...can't wait to see who my partner is.

Really? Hmmm I suppose you're right, I guess I've just never seen basil used before. Maybe it was the fact that it was a gel soap rather than a bar of soap. I really hate being allergic to basil too because it only started like 3 years ago. I'm Italian so my family uses basil all the time, and man I LOVE the taste! Pesto is one of my favorite things in the world.

[StarDragon]

Yay, seapony !
