I still like...that Ultra Magnus, was Optimus Prime, painted white, with a new trailor. :)
Or that all the transformers were out of scale with each other ;)
Gotta love Hasbro :D

New ponies

YAY! More ponies!

OOOh NOOOOO Can't keep up!

[bubblishpop.livejournal.com]

Toola Roola? Bumblesweet? Valenshy? Loop de la? What are they thinking lol!

[aequanoctis.livejournal.com]

Ok now I am really sure they use a computer to choose the ponies' name....this, or they can afford very good drug....or maybe both?

Sew-and-so....urgh!

[firvulag.livejournal.com]

I've seen the amount some people pay for these plastic horses ( :) ), they can afford whatever they want in the way of drugs.

Or maybe its just a social experiment to see how stupid a name has to be before it doesn't sell the product

[gemfyre.livejournal.com]

Ah but the ones that they pay really stupid amounts for are on eBay and that money doesn't go to Hasbro. ;)

Guh... some of the names are absolutely stupid! Toola-roola?! I mean... whoa... I know this is aimed at little girls... but sheesh! Can they pronounce some of these names? Like Forsynthia? Will they even have a chance at saying that?

On a lighter note, I do like the names Crystal Lace (please, pony gods, make her white with some other color hair aside from pink!), Silver Song, Cherry Blossom, Sweetsong, Star Beam, Merriweather (I hope it's like the old Merriweather... but probably won't be), and Glitter Glide.

Glitter Glide makes think of lube for ravers.

[berries-n-cream.livejournal.com]

This is a baaaaaaaaaaaaaad time to be poor!

[gemfyre.livejournal.com]

Yep.

I have no money or space.

I buy the occaisional priority pony if I can afford it, the last of them was Daisy Jo.

It's Toola-Roola part of the song lyrics to "Come On Eileen"? 0_o

[littlegreenpony.livejournal.com]

My thoughts exactly.

As a name... I think I like it. It's catchy. ^_^

[shewholaughs.livejournal.com]

I like them too :D It's nice to see all these names - it means they're not planning on stopping any time soon!

[littlegreenpony.livejournal.com]

Shenanigans and Serendipity make me very, very happy. But I don't understand Valenshy or Forsynthia at all. o_O

[berries-n-cream.livejournal.com]

Forsythia is a type of flower/plant

[princessapphire.livejournal.com]

I love the name Serendipity. I'm quite curious to see what she will look like. I have a custom named Serentipity =P

[psilverswirl.livejournal.com]

my theory on the wierd names is that it is probably getting much harder to find good names for ponies that aren't already patented by other companies.

Which begs a question for me - Why don't they just reuse good pony names from the 80s wholesale?

Shenanigans? Ever seen super troopers? I can't remember the characters name, so I'm going to call him Radio, but all the other troopers hate him.

Captain: "I'm going to pistol whip the next person to say Shenanigans."
Trooper2: "Hey Radio, whats the name of that place you like to go to?"
Radio (from next room): "What, Shenanigans?"
Troopers 1, 2 and 3 hold out pistols.
Captain: "Put your guns away."

[sassamifrass.livejournal.com]

Hehe, I like the sound of Shennanigans too! ;)
