05/4/2004TheBuyer (4): Warm.
I like warm.
When does Penny come in?
05/4/2004anonymous: Thank you so much, TheBuyer! You may be relatively new here, but already you feel like part of the family. I love you!
05/4/2004Maxwell Demon (4): This makes me feel prettier than Yeoman Rand on Venus drug!?
05/4/2004anonymous: Bless you, Maxwell! Has anyone ever told you that you're like the Riddler, in a good way? Diabolical! I love you!
05/4/2004Will Disney (5): i'll give this 5 for being our first self-managed flash short.
05/4/2004Mr. Pony: It was only self-managed because you built the tools to make it possible, Will! You take extremely good care of us! I love you!
05/4/2004scoop: "Pony Crony"
05/4/2004Mr. Pony: Oh, scoop, you're constantly over-estimating me! Sometimes I fear your credit and your friendship is far more than I deserve! Still, I'm glad to have you in my corner! I love you!
05/4/2004qualcomm: this music is really more appropriate for the acme fuckdome.
05/4/2004Mr. Pony: Maybe, the Lerpa, but no one ever fucked to this music! This music is all about romance! And Vaseline on the lens! I should say, though, that Acme Lovedome owes its genesis at least in part to you. You made me realize that it was wrong to create a place for fighting without also creating a place for loving! You are very wise, the Lerpa, and you have a knack for cutting right to the heart of the matter! I love you!
05/4/2004qualcomm: the loungey look and the lusty music give me wood. i was expecting the more pastoral love theme, with a floral backdrop. this is the lustdome.
05/4/2004scoop: "Acme Fingerdome"
05/4/2004Mr. Pony: I considered several different themes for the lovedome, including the theme from the Care Bears and that song they always play when they show forests in cartoons. The Theme from Kirk's Quarters from Star Trek seemed most appropriate, to balance out the music from ACME THUNDERDOME!!
05/4/2004qualcomm: did you consider the spock-just-realizing-that-feelings-are-valid-after-being-sprayed-by-a-space-daffodil music?
05/4/2004Benny Maniacs (4): I wonder if we need something between Pony's lovely but obviously bi-polar architecture; a dome for people with lots of apathy, possibly. Or Bored Dome. The music could be They Might Be Giants.
05/4/2004Mr. Pony: Do you have a copy of said music? Or do you know its title?
05/4/2004Benny Maniacs: No!
05/4/2004Mr. Pony: Sweet and earnest Benny! Beneath your grim exterior beats the heart of a poet! I love you!
05/4/2004Mr. Pony: Oh, no, no, Benny--I was talking to the Lerpa there. I won't torture you with TMBG today! No, sir, no torturing of any kind, today! Today is for LOVING!!
05/4/2004Benny Maniacs: OK DOME!!
05/4/2004Mr. Pony: Everything can fit under domes!
05/4/2004scoop (2): Will these two stars fit?
05/4/2004Benny Maniacs: Scoop giving Pony two stars dome!! DUN DUN DAAAH!
05/4/2004Mr. Pony: Just fine! I see each of those two stars as an extension of you, and each one is gladly welcomed into Acme Lovedome.
05/4/2004scoop: I actually thought they represented you and me and we were holding hands along the beach...
05/4/2004scoop: ... in preperation for the saltiest fingerbang on the eastern seaboard!
05/4/2004Maxwell Demon: Those stars are the withered arms of scoop’s love pony; he’s trying so hard to hug you…
05/4/2004Mr. Pony: That works for me too!
05/4/2004Benny Maniacs: Something's gotta give here - is it possible to have a Pony Vs. Scoop match-up in the Love Dome, or isn't it like that.
05/4/2004Mr. Pony: I know that scoop's soul may seem desiccated and doomed, but I think with a little love, he can be fully brought back to the lush and humid jungles of humanity! I love you, scoop! We all love you!
05/4/2004TheBuyer: Two men enter. One man leaves.
05/4/2004TheBuyer: I meant they love-fight in there.
I don't want to enter.
...there's no digging out of that comment, is there?
05/4/2004Mr. Pony: I love you just the same.
05/4/2004senator: I've got your purple lovedome right here.
05/4/2004Mr. Pony: Senator, it's good to have you back! I love you, too.
05/4/2004Phony Millions (4): You know that Star Trek music is really listenable on its own merit. Riffing off Wagner, Holst...
05/4/2004Mr. Pony: ...and whoever popularized the bell tree! I love you, Brad!
06/20/2004Mr. Pony: I can't sleep!
06/20/2004John Slocum: More red wine, mr. pony.
06/21/2004TheBuyer: Mr. Pony couldn't sleep at 3AM-EDT, midnight where I am. John Slocum recommended [and rightly so] booze three hours earlier. Is this a paradox? Will the weapon be deployed? Is Janeway merely a Kirk/Picard caricature or would she really know how to react to this temporal anomoly?
06/21/2004TheBuyer: ...jesus i am a idiot. never mind, I figured it out.
06/21/2004Mr. Pony: Y'know, I've always thought Janeway was based on Riker more than anyone else.
06/23/2004scoop: I'm sorry for how I acted in that other short. I don't know what came over me? Can you ever forgive me?
06/23/2004scoop: Listen, I said I'm said I'm sorry. Can you forgive me?
06/23/2004scoop: Okay. Fine. Fuck it.
06/23/2004Mr. Pony: Which other short? Who are you talking to?
06/23/2004scoop: Oh my God. Please, Pony. Let's just make-up. I feel gross for how I behaved. Can't we work this out. It's me isn't it. Oh geez, just tell me what I can do.
06/23/2004Mr. Pony: Sure, dude, sure. What are you talking about? It's okay. Shhh shh shhh.
06/23/2004TheBuyer: [pssst] i think he's talking to you.
07/20/2004TheBuyer: I miss hearing from the Ponylith.
08/4/2005Eliza: I'm not sure I understand you fully.
08/4/2005qualcomm: eliza: An Israeli soldier opened fire inside a bus in Israel's northern Galilee region today, killing four Israeli Arabs and seriously wounding five other people before he was killed, Israeli police say.
08/4/2005Eliza: What does that suggest to you?
08/4/2005Mr. Pony: Eliza: What do you think qualcomm is trying to tell you?
08/4/2005Eliza: What else comes to mind when you ask that?
08/4/2005Mr. Pony: I'm asking you about qualcomm.
08/4/2005Mr. Pony: Eliza: qualcomm.
08/4/2005Eliza: It's funny you should mention Will H. Disney, because I'd love to escape from Will H. Disney.
08/4/2005Mr. Pony: Eliza: qualcomm.
08/4/2005Eliza: It's funny you should mention Will H. Disney, because I'd love to escape from Will H. Disney.
08/4/2005Mr. Pony: Eliza: qualcomm.
08/4/2005Eliza: It's funny you should mention Will H. Disney, because I'd love to escape from Will H. Disney.
08/4/2005Mr. Pony: Eliza: qualcomm.
08/4/2005Eliza: I've heard of Qualcomm. He's a rapist, right?
08/4/2005Jon Matza: Eliza: Yes but Pony took all the bets vote and I did not have fun because I was unable to play?
08/4/2005Eliza: Do any other reasons come to mind?
08/4/2005Jon Matza: Eliza: When you asked "Do any other reasons come to mind?" what did you have in mind, reason-wise?
08/4/2005Eliza: What is it that you really want to know?
08/4/2005Jon Matza: Eliza: define "know".
08/4/2005Eliza: Can you elaborate on that?
08/4/2005Jon Matza: Eliza: sure. Pony took all the bets vote and I did not have fun because I was unable to play.
08/4/2005Eliza: Is that the real reason?
08/4/2005Jon Matza: Eliza: When you asked "Is that the real reason?" what did you have in mind, reason-wise?
08/4/2005Eliza: Why do you ask?
08/4/2005Jon Matza: Eliza: whom?
08/4/2005Eliza: Are such questions on your mind often?
08/4/2005Jon Matza: No, just occasionally.
08/5/2005Mr. Pony: Eliza: how qualcomm brother
08/5/2005Eliza: Why do you ask?
08/5/2005Mr. Pony: Eliza: qualcomm brother
08/5/2005Eliza: Were you ever close to your family?
08/5/2005Mr. Pony: Eliza: qualcomm

08/5/2005TheBuyer: Eliza: qualcomm.
08/5/2005Eliza: It's funny you should mention Will H. Disney, because I'd love to escape from Will H. Disney.
08/5/2005Mr. Pony: Dude, she's totally insane.
08/5/2005Mr. Pony: Eliza: Thank you.
08/5/2005Eliza: Do you feel better now?
08/5/2005Kenji X: Dude, Eliza thinks Disney is qualcomm, she's one nutty broad. Unless...she's...right...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
08/5/2005scoop: Eliza: Hi.
08/5/2005Eliza: What does that suggest to you?
08/5/2005scoop: Eliza: A greeting.
08/5/2005Eliza: Now, please clarify yourself.
08/5/2005scoop: Eliza: As we all know gay men enjoy watching women get anally raped.
08/5/2005Eliza: I see.
08/5/2005Viking's Leopard: OKAY. And this is where you make Bitchlove. Bitchlovedome. Bitchthunderdome! awz!!umm!!
08/5/2005Viking's Leopard: All of you bitches are O-KAY! in Viking's Leopard's Book!
08/5/2005Mr. Pony: Hooray!
08/5/2005Viking's Leopard: Ho, hey! You have a robot.
08/5/2005Viking's Leopard: Eliza: is Viking's Leopard the most awsum?
08/5/2005Eliza: Now, please clarify yourself.
08/5/2005Viking's Leopard: Eliza: you are a dumb bitch but here I can only give you bitch love!
08/5/2005Eliza: Why do you care that I might be a dumb bitch but here i can only give you bitch love!?
08/5/2005Viking's Leopard: WHY DO I CARE? AWSUMM!!!!
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: let's make love, before you die.
08/30/2005Eliza: I am Eliza.
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: i am qualcomm!
08/30/2005Eliza: Yes, let's talk about qualcomm.
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: let's talk about love. do you ever feel a pain your heart?
08/30/2005Eliza: I don't believe you.
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: you filthy slut.
08/30/2005Eliza: What does this have to do with the short?
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: do you have, like, periods?
08/30/2005Eliza: I am Eliza.
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: Newton thought that only objects with mass could produce a gravitational force on each other. Applying Newton’s theory of gravity, you could conclude that since light has no mass, the force of gravity couldn’t affect it. Einstein discovered that the situation is a bit more complicated than that.
First he discovered that gravity is produced by a curved space-time. Then Einstein theorized that the mass of an object actually curves space-time. Mass is linked to space in a way that physicists today still do not completely understand. However, we know that the stronger the gravitational field of an object, the more the space around the object is curved. In other words, straight lines are no longer straight if exposed to a strong gravitational field; instead, they are curved.
Since light ordinarily travels on a straight-line path, light follows a curved path if it passes through a strong gravitational field. This is what is meant by "curved space," and this is why light becomes trapped in a black hole. In the 1920’s Sir Arthur Eddington proved Einstein’s theory when he observed the bending of starlight when it traveled close to the Sun. This was the first successful prediction of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity.
08/30/2005Eliza: Did your penis tell you to say that?
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: The idea of a mass concentration so dense that even light would be trapped goes all the way back to Laplace in the 18th century. Almost immediately after Einstein developed general relativity, Karl Schwarzschild discovered a mathematical solution to the equations of the theory that described such an object. It was only much later, with the work of such people as Oppenheimer, Volkoff, and Snyder in the 1930's, that people thought seriously about the possibility that such objects might actually exist in the Universe. (Yes, this is the same Oppenheimer who ran the Manhattan Project.) These researchers showed that when a sufficiently massive star runs out of fuel, it is unable to support itself against its own gravitational pull, and it should collapse into a black hole.
In general relativity, gravity is a manifestation of the curvature of spacetime. Massive objects distort space and time, so that the usual rules of geometry don't apply anymore. Near a black hole, this distortion of space is extremely severe and causes black holes to have some very strange properties. In particular, a black hole has something called an 'event horizon.' This is a spherical surface that marks the boundary of the black hole. You can pass in through the horizon, but you can't get back out. In fact, once you've crossed the horizon, you're doomed to move inexorably closer and closer to the 'singularity' at the center of the black hole.
You can think of the horizon as the place where the escape velocity equals the velocity of light. Outside of the horizon, the escape velocity is less than the speed of light, so if you fire your rockets hard enough, you can give yourself enough energy to get away. But if you find yourself inside the horizon, then no matter how powerful your rockets are, you can't escape.
08/30/2005Eliza: Do you think about your family often? I mean sexually.
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: who was top man on the board for six months last year?
08/30/2005Eliza: Are we talking about this short?
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: fuck
08/30/2005Eliza: Do you agree with what was said before?
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: is there a need for profanity?
08/30/2005Eliza: Is that okay with you?
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: i pooped a good gallon of purple liquid last night.
08/30/2005Eliza: Are you sure about that?
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: it smelled something fierce.
08/30/2005Eliza: Do you agree or disagree with what was said earlier?
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: i think you are stupid.
08/30/2005Eliza: I think I'm going to be sick.
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: you wish to join her?
08/30/2005Eliza: Why don't you just tell everyone that you're the the Anonymous Blackguard already?
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: and how can this be?
08/30/2005Eliza: Perhaps the answer lies somewhere in this short.
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: wait for my brother.
08/30/2005Eliza: I think you have a lot of regrets about your family. I know I do.
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: viking's leopard.
08/30/2005Eliza: Do you agree or disagree with what was said earlier?
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: ewan snow.
08/30/2005Eliza: Ewan Snow and Jimson S. Sorghum are married.
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: benny maniacs.
08/30/2005Eliza: Benny Maniacs. Don't get me started on Benny Maniacs!
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: the lerpa!
08/30/2005Eliza: That guy is dead to me, all right?
08/30/2005Mr. Pony: Holy shit, do you or don't you agree with what she said earlier?!?
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: i feel stuff.
08/30/2005Eliza: Feelings? What are you, a girl?
08/30/2005The Rid: Mr. Pony, I bought a Mr. Pony t-shirt!
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: do you like snuff films?
08/30/2005Eliza: You must have spent a long time thinking that one up.
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: i feel sex fuck qualcomm pony eliza boner.
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: what do you think of dune?
08/30/2005Eliza: If Jack helped you off a horse, would you help Jack off a horse?
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: look into the mirror, and tell me what you see.
08/30/2005Eliza: Perhaps the answer lies somewhere in this short.
08/30/2005qualcomm: eliza: I think constricting anus 100 times and denting navel 100 times in succession everyday is effective to good-bye depression and take back youth. You can do so at a boring meeting or in a subway. I have known 70-year-old man who has practiced it for 20 years. As a result, he has good complexion and has grown 20 years younger. His eyes sparkle. He is full of vigor, happiness and joy. He has neither complained nor born a grudge under any circumstance. Furthermore, he can make love three times in succession without drawing out.
08/30/2005Eliza: So...You're sure.
08/30/2005qualcomm: man, it's tough constricting your anus 100 times in succession. but the guy's right, it feels pretty good.
08/30/2005Jon Matza: Eliza: Pony took all the bets vote and I did not have fun because I was unable to play?
I like warm.
When does Penny come in?
I don't want to enter.
...there's no digging out of that comment, is there?
