And they'll do a double take

Basically what it says on the tin. These guys and these other guys are having a picnic to celebrate a year of meetups as of August 12th. You can read all about that here, but the gist of what makes this cool is probably better said with a picture:

This Roundup was going to be perfect
The kind of post I'd always dreamed I'd write again.
But instead of telling jokes
For all you lovely pony folks
I'm sitting here and being told exactly what to say
Presenting Pinkie: The Pony With the Bubble Pop, Bubble Bubble Pop Pop
No no, seriously. She's made out of gum. And Gummy is a gummy! BAwesome BAcon went and made this and it is just about the coolest food related thing I've seen all week. Take a look at this video and be all, "Hey neat!"
MLP FiSH Auditions Continue Through August 31: Don't Flop Around or... Something. Yeah.
It's an abridged series and it's looking for voices. That should be all you need to know, but since it isn't, here's a writeup and a video:
"Just like last time, same five characters are available: Rainbow, Pinkie, Gilda, Princess Celestia, and Rarity, but now that things are running more smoothly in terms of time and writing, and I can focus more on these auditions better, I set up a deadline on Tuesday July 31. of course, the video has all the info you need and I'm available for questions at this address (mylittleponyfish@hotmail.com) which is also in the document on that ponychan thread (which is linked in the description of the video)"
German Newspaper FAZ Says Nice Things About Bronies, Yay!
That title sounds sarcastic, but it really isn't. The German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine just released an article about FiM and had some wonderful things to say. They dip a bit into Rule 34 and spend some time referring to a "pirate party", but for the most part they're pretty nice about what they say... you know, in German.
Go read it here, or maybe translate it if you're not one of those worldly types who bothered to learn languages not called English.

Brony Study Survey #3 Studies Bronies (and also Non-Bronies) For Science
You love science, right? We've featured Brony Study before as they've collected data to debunk myths associated with bronies and provide a more complete statistical analysis of this group of disparate individuals who have come together solely over a liking of particular animated equines. The results of this particular iteration of their survey are going to be featured in the Bronycon Documentary, so collecting data right now is essential! If you're reading this I think we both know what you are, but also if you happen to have any non-brony friends and family you should send them along here and get to data mining! The truth only comes out when we search for it, you know.
Additionally, there's an auxillary Brony Subculture Analysis which just received a major update and could use one more surge of data. Get cracking, guys. This stuff isn't going to study itself.
Here, Have a Meet the Applejack Video
Look, it's 3 in the morning. I've got nothing. Just... just take it.
I won't go to any of these meetups
I'm not posting any cakes
And really, I'm not entertaining you if I say
That at this godforsaken hour I've got any staying power
But the truth is I don't even care at aaaaaaallllllll
No, I do not love this site
It just keeps me up all night
But I just can't leave it alooooooooooone
Dungeons and Dragons Online Introduces Pony References Into its Equipment and Still The World Keeps Turning
I mean really this is actually kind of neat even if you're one of the millions of us who have never touched the game (personally I'd rather just sit at a tabletop and do it the traditional way with a small cardboard screen, some dice, and far too much caffeine).
Highlights include a bastard sword called "Nightmare, The Fallen Moon", the short sword "Celestia, Brightest Star of Day", and a quarterstaff calling itself "Twilight, Element of Magic". Well then.
Look. Forums. Go.
Thailand News Channel Contains MLP and Bronycon 2012 Materials, Delicious Peanut-Based Foods
I eat Thai. I don't speak it. But if you can follow this incomprehensible link then you will see the truth with your own eyes. I am so informative it hurts. (Really though I'm sorry. I don't mean to be insensitive, it's just apart from this being a neatish thing I have no idea what else to say without being able to parse what's going on)
Need to recaffeinate before its too late
Find a way to save the day
I hope that I'm lying when I say
That I don't fear that I may lose you
To something that might confuse you
Not give you timely news updates each daaaaaaay
I'm still obsessed with ponies
And bringing smiles to bronies
...Oh dear god my rhyme scheme
Is really kind of hokey!
