Having made significant progress this week, I thought I might let you guys in on what’s actually happening behind the scenes here. Time for coding has been a bit sparse since I am fighting super villains as a full time job. Only a sidekick for now, but I see great things in my future! Especially if I can win this R100k, that would help greatly towards the purchase of my own superhero license. But I digress, you want to hear about my project, not my day job.

On this farm visit (read previous post if you aren’t sure what I’m on about) I met the owner, his name was Farmer Brown (sounds cliched I know, but that was really his name, blame his parents for bad genetics. And no, that isn’t his title I typed out). So Farmer John had this problem (another one apart from his schizophrenia condition) and this was that his prized MAGICAL pink pony, Issabella ran away the previous weekend. Now he was planning on using her to get the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. You must probably now wonder why (just like I did) he couldn’t just walk to the end of the rainbow to take the pot of gold, but it’s not that simple. See, everyone thinks the pot of gold is at the end of the rainbow while in fact the causation is the other way around. The end of the rainbow is at the pot of gold. What difference does this make? Well, these pots of gold belong to Leprechauns, this much is told to you when you are but whee high. What they don’t tell you however is that these Leprechauns are INCREDIBLY stingy. If you thought old people buying cat food was bad, you should meet these characters. Which is exactly where the problem arises, see they believe every person approaching them (and they can feel you miles off. How? They’re friggin’ Leprechauns, you idiot!) is out to steal their pot of gold (and they’re right too). Obviously the rainbows are a problem but it is a well documented effect because of the large amount of gold. Ever seen the inside of Fort Knox? Rainbow Heaven, they even give you special eyewear so you don’t go insane (yes, insane, not blind, but insane). So what do they do? They move the pot of gold! And this is why you can never reach the end of the rainbow, because the little buggers keep moving their pot of gold (and thus the end of the rainbow).

So how does the MAGICAL pink ponies fit into all this? Camoflouge! They are the only creatures able to approach Leprechauns undetected. Them and silver panthers, but they’re harder to tame. So Farmer Brown was planning on forcefully repossessing the pot of gold for his own needs, but for this he needed his MAGICAL pink pony Isabella else he would never catch the end of the rainbow! How she disappeared is a mystery though. He wanted to brag about her to me the day I visited, but once we got to the stall it was empty. Yes, shocking I know! an EMPTY stall! THE HORROR! Farmer Brown had such a breakdown Never seen a grown man cry that much.. (Oh wait I have, but being dismembered doesn’t quite count). We suspect it was the evil pixie faires from across the hill (they look like angry an Scotsman with wings). So tomorrow we will be setting out to find his MAGICAL pink pony, Isabella. Will report back on how that went.

That’s it for the update, quite amped working on this, having a ball as I go along. Good luck to you all (you’ll need it, the ponies are coming!)

Right so seeing as everyone (read: about 3 other people) have extensively blogged their efforts I felt that I was a bit behind everyone and so my blog post.

Right, so moving right along, I once went to this pony farm. It wasn’t just any old pony far, oh no! It was a magical pony farm! A magical PINK pony farm (’cause all magical ponies are PINK, duh!). Now these ponies should not be confused with the very similar looking Unicorns. You see there are a couple of big differences between magical PINK ponies and unicorns:

1) The great big friggin’ horn sticking out of a unicorn’s head. Now magical PINK ponies do NOT have these horns. It’s amazing how many people miss such a simple detail.

2) Magical PINK ponies are PINK. With slighty darker PINK (or lighter depending on the gender) hearts on their hides. Unicorns on the other hand are white grayish with stars.

3) Unicorns are known to sell organs on the black market. Magical PINK ponies have never been known to do this. This leads to one conclusion: Unicorns are retardedly stupid.

4) Unicorns are mute (communication is achieved though dipping their horns in ink and writing, see, evolution IS useful). All magical PINK ponies can talk fluent English. In a high pitched girly voice (it’s an image thing, I’ve asked)

5) Unicorns roam the forest like hobo’s. Magical PINK ponies fly in the sky with no apparent way of propulsion.

This is but the small list of the differences between mgical PINK ponies and unicorns. So memorise it for future reference because if you EVER meet a magical PINK pony and accidently call it a unicorn, then well, you’d have more fun going through a combine harverster than what they’ll do to you.

There, I just possibly saved your life. I need to get back to work now, so look out for some more interesting news about my project!
