Pretty much, yeah. He's still on DA and Skype if you want to talk to him at least.

Yeah, he was kind of awesome. I want to know how they got him on the show, personally.

Today is a weird day for me, media-wise. I've come across two things, a song and a picture, where I have a reaction that I can't adequately explain. Specifically, I love the picture, but the song is as abrasive to my sanity as fingernails on chalkboards.

People on the show's staff knew him personally, and one was in his old band.

way back, like between season 2 and 3 I think, Al saw a PMV someone did of one of his polka songs. He tweeted it and said he liked it. then someone who works on the show tweeted him back and asked if he's like to be on the show. and thins snowballed from there.

or something like that. I know that there was definitely twitter and a weird al polka PMV involved.

Yeah. And someone way back in season 1 did a "Pony Polka" video that he noticed and linked on his twitter, so there was some interest there.

Did it take anyone else here six hours to get the joke where Pinkie called Cheese boneless?

Yeah, William Anderson the background music composer used to be in his band. Ingram also worked with Al to do the music for the main songs, with Al doing the polka himself.

Holy cow, it's Mousa. Long time no see, dude.

Anyway, just saw episode, and damn, that was good. They totally nailed getting Cheese lots of screen time without making him overshadow the episode's focus on Pinkie.

And when he stole her Smile song. [lol]

And here's the video that started it all.

I have a message from another time...

I think his reveal went a long way in helping that impression. Before he'd been an unintentional, if still spotlight stealing party pony, but the flashback turned the tables, making him look like the one trying to impress Pinkie. I like how this season has shown that the Mane Six being the charismatic and exceptional ponies they are Elements or no, they've inspired others for the better just by being who they are.

First Coco Pommel was inspired by Rarity to quit her life of servitude and regain her idealism, the Wonderbolts were able to learn from Rainbow to stick with your true friends and be a better team for that, and now we have Cheese Sandwich.

Yeah, the fact that the mane cast are passing on what they've learned to others is something of a recurring theme this season. Both in how the key objects are being revealed, and in how they're doing a journal instead of friendship reports.

It's a nice way to make the season cohesive.

Coco... Pommel....?

You know, it's weird, that may be the only name I have a problem with. It sounds... Weird.

By the way, I lived the setup for the challenge. "And the loser?" "Doesnt."

Oh yeah, that was one of my favorite lines.

Yeah. The first song was based on "Belle, "

Now that you mention it, I got that vibe too. Didn't notice the Supercalifragistlistic thing though.
