Grant 1st MRB

Why can't we all just live with the magic of friendship?? Is that so much to ask?

9/10 Picture is wicked but the lettering is just a tiny bit too difficult to read.

I live in the south, and I am not sure of anyone else who does, but when I walk into a restaurant and all they have is pepsi.... I become a little irritated.

Hey man hope you make it. May the crab cakes be with you!

Hey guys, Grant here to share some information that I believe needs to be shared. I meant to do this a while ago but was always too busy. I have been getting some flak from people because I am open about my crab cake enthusiastness and I think that it is because of a lack of understanding. So hopefully with this post I can clarify these misunderstandings and maybe even be able to help any of you who might even be mildly interested. Before I get started I just want point out that yes I am serious and this isn't meant to be a complete joke. Not that you can't have a laugh or two but please note that I am writing this with a true purpose in mind. So if most of yall don't already know, I AM A crab cake enthusiast. I think this bears a definition to some people. A crab cake enthusiast is a person who like the show, My Little crab cake: Friendship is Magic, but is outside of the targeted demographic that the creators of the show intended it to be for, if that makes sense.... Anyway, this includes both males and females of all ages. Yes we like the show. Yes we watch the show. And yes we even make up our own fan stuff along side the show. First lets start off with a little history. The community sprouted from, you could have probably guessed it, 4chan. At first people were just making fun of the show or otherwise ignoring it completely. But as more pictures and memes started swarming the internet people became interested in these crab cakes that everyone was laughing about. So people started to watch the show. From here the community exploded into a large following of the show and of course trolling 4chan, but honestly who doesn't troll 4chan. However, when crab cakes were banned on the site, the fans started their own community pages and other sites for fellow crab cake enthusiasts. With this event, something amazing happened, artists, musicians, animators, and writers started producing amazing things within the community. To give you just a tiny glimpse of the potiential that the communtiy has to offer, follow this link: Equestria Daily. On this site people from all over the world post their creations and receive all kinds of support from the rest of the fandom. Now some of you are probably thinking that we crab cake enthusiasts are just bunch of perverted guys who like to whack it to pictures of crab cakes(sorry to be so crude, but this is something I have heard time and time again) but this is definitively not the case. Although I can't speak for the entire community, we like the show for what it is, what it stands for, and the community that surrounds it. This is a common misconception that I think most people see and I think that it hurts our image. A lot of people I have found were like me when they found crab cakes. I have, for as long as I remembered, been a depressed, cynical, social shut in that did nothing but stay at home and play video games and work. When I got to the Citadel the past August and started my freshman, or Knob, year, I reached an all time low point in my depression. A friend of mine on Steam sent me a link to one of the episodes of My Little crab cake and my first reaction was probably what most of you are thinking. "What the @%!@ did you just send me you retard, what is wrong with you." He insisted that I just give it a chance and that I would like it. Well I had nothing else better to do so I did it. Each episode is about 25 minutes long, a standard TV show length. I started watching the first episode at about 9:00pm. I didn't stop watching until about 3:00am the next mourning. For the first time in a long time I actually felt happy, and then when I stopped and fell into a deeper depression thinking, dear god what is wrong with me, I actually like this shit, these freaking crab cakes. But after being assured by my friend that I wasn't the only one, I felt a lot better after that and from then on I truly believe that I have become a better person. Mind you this is just my story of how I became a crab cake enthusiast but if you dig deep enough, this is how many people came to be a crab cake enthusiast, and even is some cases that I have read about is saved some peoples life(i.e. they were about to commit suicide or something like that). The community truly embraces all kinds of people and the only conflict there seems to be in the community at all is the argument on which is the best crab cake. Alright hang in there guys I am almost done. Now that you know a little about the background of the community and a little more about me, I hope that there can be a little bit more tolerance towards this phenomenon that has grown exponentially over the past year and a half. I also want to make a call out to any "closet"crab cake enthusiasts out in the 1st MRB. If you think you are alone, let me assure you that you are not. If you ever want to talk about it please send me a message and I will do anything that I can to reassure you. Finally to those of you who don't know or don't care about the show but still like to bust our chops for liking it, the crab cake enthusiast motto is this "Love and Tolerance" as you have heard me say time and time again. Also I really don't think that people have a right to bash us if they haven't seen the show, or know about the true crab cake enthusiast community. I will close with a link to a video on youtube that give a fantastic, in depth, analysis of the crab cake enthusiast community, what we stand for, and what the show is all about. It is pretty long and I understand if you don't watch it all but this guy explains it a hell of a lot better than me. Link: . To help you out so you don't lose interest as quickly, the intro ends at about a minute and the true meat of the crab cake enthusiast community discussion starts in act 4 if you can find it, and if you want a history of the community(much better than what I did) then I suggest you start from act 2. If you don't want to spend time searching through the videos, he split them up into the separate acts, just find them in the sidebar. For those of you who read this far, I greatly appreciate it and I hope that some good will come out of me using up about an hour to write all this. If anyone want to ask me question directly just hit me up on Steam or a PM. Again thank you for giving me your time.

OH DEAR GOD THE DECISIONS!!! I think this may have been a bad idea...

You know... I expected something like this, but thanks for the advice! LOL

I have just recently become interested in hockey but have no idea where to start. I don't exactly live where there is much hockey so I don't really get the chance to go to games and stuff like that. Any advice?

QUICK BURN IT! BEFORE IT EATS YOUR SOUL!!!

I can't believe after all of the Lord of the Rings posts I have seen on the forums, no one has mentioned Howard Shore who wrote the Lord of the Rings music.
