No, you cannot: A Look Back at 2012

Another year gone, more insanity to spread.  One would think it would be difficult to keep up a blog for two consecutive years on the same topic, but alas, I'm never void of ridiculous material to share with my readers.  Memory lane is calling our names; let's revisit the top stories of 2012, shall we?

Voted Most Popular story #3 is: "No, you cannot scold me in public"

A trip to Toronto proved that managers in all countries tend to be an easy subject of scorn.  After blasting these two managers on No Ponies and Twitter, Chipotle actually wrote back with an apology and promise to speak to the managers about their behavior.  1- No Ponies, 0- hat visors in the workplace.

We have a tie at #2 ladies and gentleman!

Keeping things PC is the infamous: "No, you cannot pick crops at the drugstore"

Back in February, Walgreens showed its support for Black History Month as well as proof of why someone lost their job that day.

Rounding off the summer heat wave is: "No, you cannot be that desperate"

This summer I easily proved that long periods of extreme heat entice people to lose their ability to make rational life decisions.  Case in point, photo to the left.

 And your most read Pony post of 2012 is: "No, you cannot use off-brand font"

Co-workers are a breeding pool for blog material.  These are people you are forced to see day in and day out who you never got a say in screening in the first place.  Some are over-sharers, closet hoarders, or somehow skirting by while brown-nosing all the way to the top.  Others, unfortunately, just don't know how to use Times New Roman.








Thank you again for making No Ponies a regular in daily distractions from your actual priorities; wishing you a great start to 2013 and much, much more irony to come!  Until next time...neigh.

No, you cannot pull a rabbit out of a subway car

Far beneath the city that never sleeps lies another world filled with entertainment beyond belief.  The free acts found on the New York City subway system could literally keep one occupied with song and dance for hours on end.  From the standard guitar player and gutsy break dancer to the bizarre 6-piece mariachi band or exotic Chinese erhu; these "artists" tend to enter a train car unnoticed then all of the sudden start to peddle their wares for the merriment, and hopefully pocket change, of weary travelers.  I thought I had seen it all until my friend sent along photos of a full blown magic act happening on the 6 train during her morning commute.  We're not talking pulling quarters out of a stranger's ear or a never-ending line of colorful scarves- oh no, that's all too mundane for Manhattanites!  Let's pull out the big guns, shall we?  The real bucks are made when there are live animals involved, in this case the infamous white rabbit.  Poor rabbit, had no idea what he was getting himself into when staring at this guy with big brown eyes from behind the glass at the local Petsmart. The subway holds a tough crowd, at least now the rabbit has a better chance to make it on Broadway after all of this practice.
