Pink Pony Probably Confused a Bunch of Belgians Today



The above, sent from Pony Pal™ Constant is from today's edition of Metro, a free paper for commuters in Belgium which picked PSP as site of the day. Wheee! I am truly very flattered! At least I think I am, because I have only a vague notion of what it says!

I don't get very many readers from overseas, and very few, indeed, from countries where English isn't the primary language. I can't help but think that this site must be awfully confusing, what with the obscure political figures (Wie is Lurita Doan?) and the avalanche of teen slang and made-up words. I'm trying to imagine a reader weeping in frustration while searching for "diplamazon", for instance, in an English/Russian-Russian/English dictionary to no avail.

EDIT: Hey, look at that:



The system works!

Belgium, Shmelgium. All Greenland lies at your feet!

"Met fonkelend haar" is SO the phrase of the day. Poor Belgians, living in the West Virginia of France or the Arkansas of the Netherlands, depending on how you look at it. They are no doubt waiting for the Princess to weigh in on the Wallonia issue.

I'm pretty sure that "Princes Sparkle Pony is een beeldschone, glinterende Pony met fonkeland haar. Haar lichaam is roze en opgesmukt met veelkleurige glitterjes" means Princess Sparkle Pony is a georgeous, glittering Pony with sparkling hair. Her fur is pink in color and adorned with glitter."

Did everybody already figure that out?

I'm gonna be saying "fonkelend haar" all day. I remember a time when you had some pretty darn fonkelend haar.

Leopard print, it was...

De la Belgique, on dit:

Ce brave petit pays ...

Go, Go Manneken Pis!

NATO headquarters is in Brussels, PSP.

So let's all behave lest we lose the Eurotrash in the Fight Against Terror.

Just when I thought the Mideast Peace Summit/ Conf/Meeting/Gathering was going to be the redeeming moment for Dr. Condipeacezza, this story from the Times (Sun, Dec. 2, 2007), "Gay rumours eclipse Condi’s glory moment"

usablogger, that's a really funny article, because they act like the interwebs were "abuzz" after the National Enquirer article... except that I never saw anybody write about it at all.

"Condoleeza Rice is Secretary of State of the USA. She is the first black woman in the position. PSP is a beautiful, glittering pony with sparkling hair. Her body is pink and adorned with multicolored glittery stuff. The connection between the two? PSP maintains a blog that closely follows Rice; she even has a 'Rice Hairdo Alert'".

See, I'm not just a pretty face.
