One of my many departing bosses (I go through them like Murphy Brown went through secretaries) gave me one of the My Little Ponies she had on her desk for years as a parting gift. I thought it was kind of dumb but then I looked her up and found out her name is Minty and she's kind of rare and if she were in her original packaging kind of valuable. Then I looked into the various TV series and really, they seem to be particularly acid-inspired. I mean, there's one whole series where the ponies are human girls.
Anyway, I have learned a lot from My Little Pony, most importantly that friendship is, indeed, magic. And you stick by your friends and you help them out when they need it. Minty is always with me when I travel, even though her mane is falling out. Also, there was an episode with a Sondheim song parody in it.
