I think Shane might be a closet brony who hasn't come out of the stable yet.
I saw this on his FB page showing off his new tats:

I think if Shane was a brony I'd have to be a brony too so I could be just like him.

Is it safe for me to google "brony" and "MLP"? Because I have no clue what you guys are saying. But the little alarm bells in my head went off when I thought about googling those terms. Maybe not as bad as "dirty sanchez" or "hot carl", but...

Yes, it's safe to google. Just don't google "clopper." MLP is my little pony.
From wikipedia:
"The show received praise from television critics and parental groups. It also found an unlikely audience in a large group of Internet users in late 2010 and early 2011. These older fans, typically males from 18 to 35, were drawn to the show's characters, stories, animation style, and influence of the show's propagation as an Internet meme. The fandom adopted the name brony (plural bronies), a portmanteau of "bro" and "pony". Though initially considered to propagate the humorous and ironic concept of grown men enjoying a show for young girls, the fandom has shown deeper appreciation for the show far beyond this concept, and is considered part of a New Sincerity trend. Its technology-savvy members have created numerous works in writing, music, art, and video based on the show, have established websites and fan conventions for the show, and have participated in charitable events around the show and those that create it."
You know how all the nerds go to Comicon? Well, they have a Bronycon now, which makes the comicon guys look like rockstars.

And they're mostly between the ages of 18 and 36, and live in mom's basement.

Ahhh.... Very interesting. I'd not the slightest clue about any of it. To each his own I guess. Guys who can't get laid have always needed some sort of outlet. I've never walked in those shoes, so I'm not going to judge.
Know a dude I can ask about clopper - but it sounds disgusting.

I've been in IT most of my life and this is the first I've heard of bronies or cloppers - I must lead a sheltered life! On second thought, maybe it is better that way.

My daughter loves the little ponies, so I'm required to watch them on occasion as well. On Netflix there is a documentary called "Bronies". I haven't watched it, but maybe I'll have to give it a look.

I'm so glad that Pokemon came a few years after I was out of school, most pointless crap I have ever heard of from what others say about it.
