It might just be MAGIC! :v:
Dash can move or break clouds, while other, non-winged things (the hot air balloon) simply go through the clouds. Rarity didn't have the ability to stand on clouds pre-wings, but once Twilight cast the wing spell on her, she could.

What a lousy way to start a page too... :fluttersmith:

I think the real mystery of clouds is how they support things standing on them with no apparent reaction force. If they still stay in the air, why doesn't Scootaloo bury herself in a cloud and use that to fly? Are the envelopes of Equestria's airships filled with clouds instead of a buoyant gas?

I hate having to go back on this...The answer is magic! They seem to only have resistance to those that can fly and let everything else through... Twilight needed a spell to stand on them, and this suggests it is based in magic.

Also, Fizzbuzz has the best avatar. :awesomedash:

You are completely correct that it's pegasi magic. Unicorns get the flashy stuff, pegasi get air stuff, and earth ponies have many types of magic as well. Pinkie Pie is a good example of earth pony magic, another would be Big Mac towing an entire house behind him.

So I was running through NYC today on my way back to the train to school, and stopped in at Midtown Comics to pick up some things. Then I ended up finding some pony "parody" comic called "My Little Phony: Fandom is Tragic". Anyone else see or hear of this? I thought we finally gotten over this kind of stuff. :-/

(And flipping through it, it didn't seem in good taste. These guys were trying to fuse themselves to horses for whatever reason, causing the end of the world. :rariwhat: )

http://www.geek-retreat.com/little-phony-fandom-tragic/

Opening at the San Diego Comic Con My Little Phony: Fandom is Tragic tells the tale of two groups of fans (old and new) of “My Tiny Horsey” who battle it out for supremacy, in an epic tale of pointless war. The new fans argue that the new iteration of “My Tiny Horsey” is closer to the original idea, therefore has more merit. The older group of fans counter that the new version robs the show of its original message and is just a showy bastardisation of the original idea.

The two groups of fans get into a kerfuffle and the police are brought in to intervene. Thus a major dispute and competition are spawned between four obsessed fans. As the main characters get tattoos and sport mohawks that resemble their favourite characters, the competition comes to a head when surgical body mutilation becomes the next “logical” choice. As soon as the surgeries are completed the four fans become horses themselves the apocalypse occurs. The four then battle through demons, seeking out the original reclusive creator to determine which version of their favourite show is closer to the original concept.

While there are plenty of issues in this fandom that satire could easily point out and address, I can't help but wonder if that comic is just making fun of men for liking a feminine thing. :-/

Sadly I am not, the guys on the cover literally take part in a surgery that mutilates a horse so they can well..yeah. It's fuded up.

Worst comic I've read in like the past 10 years..

In that case, this sounds like something we probably shouldn't be discussing here. Let's move on.

Well, if you think about it, applejack (the drink) is just cider that has been further distilled into a hard liquor.

I always like looking up what the show's staff previously worked on.

This one takes the cake, though. Apparently Josh Haber was Mel Gibson's assistant on "The Passion of the Christ" :starity:
