So, so many jokes I could make now, about the foreign policies of so many countries (okay, mainly UK, USA & EU) over the past FIFTY years.... I'd better leave it, for the good of this thread, and not to risk a ban for derailing things ;-D
(grins to himself anyway, thinking to himself that even TYT is sometimes a little too meta for its own good) ^^
Okay, and NOW I really want to make the fandom based headcanon come true that the animals have somehow mutated due to the loss of the ponies' magic. Otherwise it would all be half as funny, and/or confusing ;-)
