One of my students is a brony

[Bucky]

I'm trying hard to be fair and supportive of him. But seriously, I thought you had to be at least 30 before you could be that cliche

1. What is a brony?

[EOTE]

6. A (typically adult) male who watches My Little Pony.

I allow my daughter to play the game on my cell phone and I'm still afraid someone's going to see the notifications the game provides on my phone and think I'm a brony.

7. There's a word for that?

Is this such a big thing that a word describing this phenomenon is required?

[EOTE]

8. Apparently.

You seemed shocked by the specificity of today's lexicon. You should know that there's a show on Investigation Discovery called "Elder Skelter" which is about geriatric murderers. There's another show called "Wives with Knives" which is about, well, wives with knives. If they can have television shows with such specific premises, the fact that there's a name for male MLP fans doesn't surprise me at all

9. On another message board . . .

I saw a post by an angsty young adult wondering how he should "come out" to his family as a brony. No kidding.

2. Not sure I understand what you are saying?

What's wrong with it?

3. Kill It! Kill it with Fire!!

Just remember, friendship is magic.

4. According to Urban Dictionary, it's for 13-30 yr olds.

Also, is he really a brony, or just ironically brony?

10. Dude dressed up like a ML Pony for Halloween.

I shit you not. He was walking around with his hands in brown paper lunch bags. I asked him what he was for Halloween and he said he was Derpy. He was so into character that I had to order him to take his hand out of the paper bags in order to take his worksheet back to his desk and write on it..





Here's Derpy.





I'm thinking of having him kidnapped and deprogrammed.

5. Happy Halloween bronies!

11. I'm not seeing the problem.

It doesn't seem all that different from people wearing a team shirt for their favorite sports team.

[Bucky]

12. of course

It's not a real concern. But it is funny.

Funny as these guys



(I make fun of them too)

13. Boom! deyada

14. Halloween, Pony and Nightmare Before Christmas style!

(Halloween "MLP" episode with "This Is Halloween" from "Nightmare Before Christmas&quot

And you bet your Pony's tail I'm a Brony!
