Children? I thought. Hitchhiking?

But there they were, three boys, maybe on the cusp of double-digits by the looks of them, standing in a clump by the freeway entrance with thumbs out.

I shook my head as I passed by them. I've got a track record of providing hitches, but this one wasn't to be. I was already late for my Ultimate Frisbee league

I am admittedly a little disappointed that the “never thought i'd combine those tags” tag doesn't seem to have seen other use yet.

There are several tag pairs that are nearly as brain-blistering as the MLP + hitchhikers combination (e.g. "sex" and "mac os x partitioning"), but the circumstances that would cover both topics simultaneously are ... hmm.

I may have to take this in the spirit of a personal challenge.

Most of the tags are so general and composable though! Which means it's a nice orthogonal categorization system, which makes it harder. The closest I've been able to come up with for another unexpected combination (though I haven't been searching systematically) is “note to self” + “multimedia” on the assumption that the former implies a quick, generally text-only note, whereas the latter tends to be more involved as a matter of practicality.

(I'm now imagining a My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic × Dexter's Laboratory crossover, for what it's worth. For completely unnecessary reference, this is because I was imagining stacking Friendship Pie on your head, which led to remembering the “Apple, blueberry, cherry, r squared” sequence from the latter cartoon. It seems like Dexterpony has to have been done…)

I've taken a number of voice-recording notes-to-self in situations where writing was problematic, so the idea's not that weird to me (I just doubt I'd post them under normal circumstances).

Re your crossover, a quick GIS finds: (one two three and my personal favorite). You're not alone!

"Cutie Mark Crusader Gender Swapped Humanized Hitchers yay!"

"...Scootaloo, I know we don't have our cutie marks yet, but isn't this really kinda out there?"

*grin* I don't know about extreme -- have you seen what they've done in canon? Hang-gliding springs to mind ...
