Epona was stolen by the Romans from the Celts. . .who also stole their word 'equus' from the Celts. Epona was one of the most revered Goddesses in the Celtic pantheon.
I was just going from the dA description. I've forgotten most of what I ever knew about Classical mythology, so thanks for the refresher.
No worries. I think it's funny that I spend my whole life steeped in mythology...or maybe not.
OK, so one of the ways I try to calm myself when I'm panicking is to buy something that I can't eat. I spent a lot of time searching at our local Walmart for ANYTHING dealing with MLP...nothing

Out of curiosity, which RD shirt is this? Maybe its coolness, awesomeness, and/or radicalness was just too much for him.
This one. Only without the tattoos and the anorexic arms.
That shirt's pretty straightforward in its MLPness, so I'm guessing they were bronies. Maybe they didn't say hi because they're painfully shy? Or maybe you're just Princess-Luna-level intimidating? Yeah, that's probably it. ;)

As for that model's arms, they actually look pretty similar to mine. Except I don't have any tattoos and she doesn't have my love handles. ...I really need to start exercising.

Further proving that Wal-Mart is usually an awesomeness-free zone.
Well, I did find one very lonely and very wrong color Princess Celestia...but it wasn't in the right spot and I don't buy things unless I know the price.
I need to lose weight too, but that would be because I tend to eat when I'm stressed or panic.

Curious; I'd have thought WalMart would be Pony Merch Prime. Though I have heard much about Target being the proud owner of that title; in the States, anyway. Here in the Great White North, Zellers seems to have ponies a-plenty. *ahem* Not that I've looked, mind you. Just what I've heard.

Considering we don't have The Hub around here and the older brother was sitting inside the shopping cart, I think the little bro (probably 3 years old or so) was just like "SHINY CARTOON." And marveling over the fact that an adult was wearing shiny cartoon? They didn't talk to me, which was good, cause stranger.

Depends on where you are, I think. I'll agree it's not a good place for MLP stuff, but a lot of the toys there are AWESOME and I've managed to get most of my Blu-Ray videos there. I think that has a lot to do with the fact that Wal-Mart's about all we really have. No Target, no K-Mart. As far as toys go, that's about the only place you can go, unless you go to an antique and/or thrift store.

Oooh, okay. Younger than I was thinking.

Similar situation in my town. The closest city that doesn't have its retail shopping dominated by Wal-Mart is about 50 miles away. Thank goodness for online shopping, I guess.
Not sure if I buy Twi as a shower singer. Rarity, on the other hand... yeah, probably. Still a cute picture, though.
Huge 16:10 desktop background version here. I really hope we get more Luna in season 3.

I'm hoping he gets introduced to Granny Smith's cider. There's a scene in the sequel where a pony spikes tea with <.< cider >.> that sounds more like brandy.
I love the description of what Twilight saw in the Soulgaze.
Yes, it is as bad as you think, and they are out to get you
http://www.fimfiction.net/story/21274/A ... gic#page/4 Since we are sharing stories ... it is a TwiPie but the shipping is very ... um not the main fouces. It more of the background setting but the real story is about Twilight and Pinkie switching places for a day. It is really especially chapter 4 So if you are bored check it out.
I just wish I could write this well ...
