    Eat it rainy. As you probably know, the fourth of july happened a few days ago, giving americans everywhere an excuse to get drunk and blow things up, but giving britains everywhere an excuse to complain about the holiday and call everyone a really mean word in which I cannot say. So rude. But lets to the post, shall we?

    site news

    You can go
    here to vote about which Changeling Green version you like better. But besides that there isn’t much, no new music, still no changeling species, yeah, kinda anti- climatic.

    recommended readings

    Do you like ghosts, or aliens, or anything paranorman- I mean paranormal? Theres a thread for that. do you like thor puns? Or pun in general? Theres also a thread for that.Theres a lot of threads, seriously why read about threads when you can go look at em? just go, be an active member, stop listen to me ramble.

    on other news Crimson has been up to his old tricks, as he just reviewed The lego movie. A great movie that I’ll suggest you watch if you haven’t already, heck even if you have! The movies great!

    What? do you expect something about the “everything is awesome” song? I’m unpredictable sonny.

    One other news, Dilly star has a slight obsession with Magic: The Gathering, and he made a blog about it. You can check it out, you magic players, as the rest of us, I don’t know it seemed to be gibberish to me, talking about cards in stuff.

    Also, go here to make support group for this. Seriously, I want one, like right now. And just for fun, checkthis out, especially if you’re starting to hate the brony community, it might help to restore your faith.

    BUGS. Yeah that’s pretty much everything to say. If you like them,check this out. If not, RUN FAR AWAY. Also (I’m saying also a lot today) if you live in san diego, go here. If not, well than sucks for you *goes cries in the corner cause I want one*.

    finally, another convention I can’t go to! Luckily for me there will be a stream, and the main thing is the interview with a guy named Michael Dobson, the voice of Bulk Biceps. For more information check it out here.

    Well thats pretty much it. Not much happened this week, sorry for such a short community post, I'm about as good at writing long paragraphs as a dog is at neighing like a cat. Enjoy your day!

    I always hate when the colonies get restless...

    As for the changeling species, I'll give Tyro a kick. It's easy to do and I think changelings are a bit more prominent than seaponies and gryphons around here. >.>

    If you're adding new species, don't forget Bat Ponies.

    Also, AMERICA! HELL YEAH!

    When you are grounded for the entirety of the school holidays and not being able to play games or leave the house, all you can really do is watch movies.

    Plenty of these soon.

    Also, I guess everybody forgot Canada Day

    *Searches Wikipedia*

    Right, so apparently Canada Day is when a bunch of colonies under British rule decided that they'd rather be a single country under British rule.

    In contrast, Independence Day is when a bunch of colonies under British rule told the British that they'd rather rule themselves.
    This influenced many other nations to overthrow their own ineffectual governments in favor of democracy.

    So, yeah...
    The United States changed the world.
    Canada... well... um... they invented mac and cheese?

    Actually, most people now use cell phones and MP3 players, which were invented in the United States and Germany, respectively.
    That said, the technology for MP3 players was perfected in the US.

    Basically, America is better than everybody at everything.
    Because America.


    Vermont maple syrup is better.
    Besides, there's no way of knowing where maple syrup was invented, as it predates European colonization.

    Ridley, I wonder what you'd make of the Gibraltarian National Day.

    It kind of reminds me of a thirty-year old guy trying to decide between living in his parents' basement, or a room above their garage.

    What? The Celebration of their chosen Nationality? Of which they've opted to keep on repeated occasions? That's pretty harsh to say that of The Rock. And I'd say you were out of line with Canada too.

    If they're so proud of their chosen nationality, why aren't they a part of the United Kingdom?
    From what I've been reading, it seems that Gibraltar is little more than the rope in a tug-of-war between Spain and England.

    Also, Canada gave the world Bieber. As far as I'm concerned, that was an act of war.

    They are a part of the United Kingdom and seem very proud of it. They just happen to be attached to Spain. I would think twice before putting down an entire place of people other than your own again and that's all I'll say about it. I think we should drop this for now.

    Otherwise, good post. I'm surprised how much I'm enjoying the Entomology.

    [MENTION=5399]Ridley Wolf[/MENTION], just because "Merica" exists in the title does not give you any right to start bashing other people like that. And especially not here. I don't care if you find if funny or whatever so consider this your only warning from me that you'll get on this.

    Good job on the post Nigh btw.

    Now now, the Canadian government has apologized for Bryan Adams on several occasions.

    Concerning Canada, I'm not going to apologize for what I posted, just as I would not expect a Canadian to apologize for jokes about America.
    If I had posted something like "Canada sucks," this reaction might be understandable, but to be perfectly honest, I like Canada.
    One of my favorite shows comes from Canada.

    Concerning Gibraltar, I'll admit that I'm no expert on the subject, and I apologize if my initial opinion, based on about five minutes of Wikipedia research, offended anybody.
    I will not, however, apologize for expressing that opinion, especially considering the circumstances.

    Most importantly, I will never apologize for being patriotic, no matter how much that annoys anybody on this site.
    If that's a ban-worthy offense, so be it.

    Take that as you wish, I'm done here.
