did you check it doesn't have cocaine in it? it is an awesome pony, for sure... for some reason plush cats are never that realistic...

[lishd]

i DID check. i actually had the pawn shop girl check for me before i sent james for the pick-up. she deemed the pony "very huggable". X)

i've seen some very realistic plush cats, but really... horses have more defined anatomy than cats anyhow. so it's fair i think.

this is reminding me of a story someone told me once of their ex gf keeping her dead cat in the freezer for several years, she couldn't bring herself to put it to rest... otherwise the woman was totally normal seeming.

that is a very familiar story that i bet is in comments on my lj somewhere. :)

WOW, awesome pony. :) I would have killed for that as a kid. (I'd probably still kill for it now.) :)

Vomit comet is right. I wouldn't survive that - hope you enjoy it!

As for the woman/women conundrum...well, other than 'English is a mongrel and flouts all the rules', I did find this interesting bit of discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/4j8g2n/eli5_why_is_the_wo_in_woman_pronounced/

you can cuddle him if you ever make it to seattle. :)

i'm SO going to enjoy it. it's just my speed. :D

OMG there's a whole thing about it! this thought had destroyed like four of my friends who then spent the next ten minutes going "wuh-min. wih-men" over & over. thanks!

Ah ha ha, yeah. I love etymology, it's so fun.
