Weekly Wrap Up 9

So, I went to a party last Saturday night. It was a cocktail party. Fancy booze, little umbrellas, cocktail cherries and everything. Most of my pals were there and a few people I'd only met before briefly.

We'd just finished off a pitcher of something we'd later call "Satan's Calpol" and my turn to mix came up. I splash some booze in a glass, look at it and reach for the bitters. I shake a few drops in, which settle on the top of the drink. "there," I say. "Much cooler."

Out of nowhere the chap stood across the kitchen, someone I'd never met said "About 20% cooler?" I stopped for a second and looked at him quizically. "Really?" I asked, "In 10 seconds flat?" The laughed and we raised a knowing glass at each other.

We may not have spoken of ponies again that night, but I know there was a fellow brony there. That's when I started wondering how many of us there are? How many closet bronies are kicking around, never flying the pony flag? Guess we'll never know, but it's entertaining to think about.

What's this got to do with athletic ponies? Absolutely nothing. Not a damn thing. But you know what? You folks managed to draw us 87 pictures of strapping, athletic ponies! Well done to each and every one of you! You keep making these pictures, despite us being in the depths of the pony drought (which should be over soon! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO).

As ever, you can find our group at http://mlp-atg-alumni.deviantart.com/

Enough of my prattle. On to the ponies. Here's your artistic actualisations of athletic equines:
