The first explanation makes sense if we consider time to be a constant, singular line like in Slaughterhouse Five. You can travel forward and backward in time all you want, but you can't influence events because they've already happened that way, so it really doesn't matter where anything originates from, so long as it stays linear.

Getting a strong Gargoyles vibe from all this predestined time travel talk. The "self-made man" episode, in particular.
I'm not usually fond of ponyfication just for the sake of it... but I don't hate this. It's very apt and works on multiple levels.

Nope. But pony time does run on an 8 hour clock.
This actually makes sens when combined with my "Equestria = Part of Ooo" theory.
Since a large part of the Earth was blown off, the planet's rotation could have speed up fairly significantly.

But it's clearly 4:00....
There was a time where I wasn't really feeling Time, but after truly listening to it, it's now one of my favorites of the album. Wait a minute.... What are we talking about again? Oh right, PONIES.
So here's my 2 cents, bag of chips, cup of coffee, whatever the heck you want to call it. What the episode seemed to hint at the most was that everyone goes through the motions of time. No matter what, you will end up at X because Y and Z happened. Regarding Twilight being a total spaz, hold on a sec... Just heard a large bang behind me...

Okay so just finished talking to my future self from the summer(I had a perfect tan and a six pack btw), and he warns me that if we don't end this discussion soon all PonyGAF threads will be consumed by hatred, bile and not very nice conversation. Bans will be handed out and the true fall of PonyGAF will be complete by July when I, Prade, decide having a GAF account isn't the same without my Pony brethren and end up committing account suicide by telling EvilLore he's my throwing dart board. However, future me tells me there's still hope yet. Before he vanished, his last words were as follows:
"Remember that girl next door when you were 14? You should have totally hit that"
How this helps us is beyond me, PonyGAF. Looks like we're on our own.

4 in the 16 Hour pony clock.
Ergo MLP:FiM is set on Neptune.
Working of the devil's time portals.
I want this crossover so bad.
Every Walmart I go to never has the Blind bags, so we resorted to just buying the whole box on-line. =D
As for the slash & grab, what kinda of Brony does that? Its not very pony.
Jerk ass idiot Bronies thats who. Or people who know Bronies that will pay for them... like a drug dealer... oh god what has the fandom become.

It doesn't help us at all. It's clearly just setting you up with that girl next door so you have something to do once the ponyocalypse hits.
You should totally go for it. Seems your future self believes you can pull it off.
Curious if anyone here is planning to attend PON3 Con 2012 this September.

Maybe if I lived in Nebraska.
Well I don't figure many people will be close enough to attend. I myself live on the opposite side of the state and will have to travel nearly 400 miles. People are coming as far away as Wisconsin. It won't be any Bronycon, but it should be fun.
I need more of this.

Crazy theory
Pinkie Pie created the paradox to get revenge on Spike for laughing at her and calling her spitty pie in Bridle Gossip since we learned in the Discord episodes that she doesn't like being laughed/mocked at she wanted some revenge. Since not inviting Spike to certain parties wasn't working, Pinkie instead to try to do something that would physically hurt Spike and what better method than using ice cream since revenge is a dish best served cold.
Creating a time paradox is easy for her as she constantly breaks the 4th wall and the laws of physics and has a great memory. She was around Twlight for the majority episode and was well prepared for everything(ball, eyepatch, etc.) including knowledge of where the time scroll was. She could of easily set everything up beforehand and manipulate Twlight to do what she wanted, All she had to do was implant the idea of eating ice cream to Spike the day before(hence the dream) and it would start the chain of e events that led to Spike getting a stomach from eating too much ice cream thus giving her revenge for being laughed at.
Does it make much sense? Not really but we're talking about Pinkie Pie, nothing ever makes since with her around.

Haven't been in the IRC as much as I'd want to this week. Been feeling off (And playing Mass Effect 3, the two are not related.) . But as tax, I have found a thing on Youtube for y'all.
A rock remix of Becoming Popular.
Works pretty well, actually.

A story on Japanese Bronies.
Of course, Fluttershy is the most popular, what a surprise.

Well, duh. Fluttershy is every bit the "perfect" Japanese woman, quiet, dutiful and submissive...though if you manage to anger one, time to run to the hills. ;P

That's making a rather broad assumption, honestly... Celestia's powerful and all, but there's nothing to indicate she created the world.

We already know that other unicorns in large numbers can move the sun, Celestia just has her title because the ponies are lazy.

I didn't even think of it as showing world creation, just Celestia being her usual awesome self.

They did it before the discovery of Equestria and unification of the pony races.
It was what the Unicorns did in exchange for food (the Pegasi controlled the weather, and the Dirt Ponies farmed and provided the food).
Making giant monuments to yourself for everyone to see is "awesome"?
I'm sure you're a huge RD fan, right?

Shes beautiful...
So I was heading back to my office this afternoon after getting a slice of pizza when I see a woman with a sheaf of paper in her hand walking to her car. The wind picks up and ruffles the papers in her hand and one blows free but she doesn't notice. She gets in her car with the door open and is organizing her things. I call out to her "hey, you dropped some paper" but she doesn't hear me. So I jog across the street, grab the paper from the ground and walk up to her car and hand it to her. She's "oh! did I drop that? thank you".
As i'm handing her the paper I notice it's formatted like a script and says PINKIE PIE above a paragraph at the top.
Turns out DHX Media is right across the street from me. I had no idea.

Man, you could've had a sneak preview of a Season 3 episode, evidently.
Then again, reading people's dropped papers isn't exactly in good taste.

So, my brony sister had an idea for a project she wanted to try. She wants to embroider Cutie Marks on the side of a pair of pants (close to hip as you can probably imagine) She was thinking below that she would embroider the names of a pony. I thought it would be better to simply use initials (one for ponies like Fluttershy and Rarity, 2 for the longer 2 part names like Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, etc) These would just be fun casual wear, nothing for cosplay or anything. I have ZERO fashion sense and thought I'd ask if anyone here had any suggestions or ideas for her. Much appreciated.

Just cutie marks, no names or text. And make them sweat pants.
I like the sweats/yoga pants idea, (even though I personally hate yoga pants). Cutie mark on the left hip, flank. And in thick embroidered text, but small letters, the pony name on the right pocket. So the cutie mark is easily visible, but the name you'd have to be right next to the person to see.
